Freedom…It’s a beautiful thing!
For the first eleven days of September, Hubby and I drove from our home in Washington State to South Dakota and back.

Retirement. It’s bittersweet, for me.
Tomorrow, Monday, August 31, will be my last working day at my current job, which I have held for 12-2/3 years. That's the longest I have ever worked at any job in my entire working life. My original goal in life was to work forever, and never retire. Well, the Wuhan Coronavirus put an end …
