It had been over forty years since we were in high school or had even seen each other! We were one grade apart, Rob being a …more
Retirement – what exactly does that word mean? According to Wikipedia – Retirement is the point where a person stops working. For us, that wasn’t entirely true and to look at our lives now, we often ask ourselves the question: With all that we do on any given day of the week – when in …more
