A Fence.
Good morning and happy Monday…then again, some do not even like the word “Monday”. These days, Mondays are more pleasant for my husband and I since retirement.

Fuhgeddaboudit
The other day, my newly retired husband and I were having our morning coffee and talking about something, when I said “Fuhgeddaboudit” We Jersey folks do have some fun ways of expressing ourselves at times.

Usually, before the Joy, comes the tests.
If you can relate, please raise your hand. ✋ And the tests have been coming, one after another. I sure hope I’m getting a few good marks. Sometimes I wish I could walk up to the “Teachers desk” and ask Him how I did and what do I need to change, like we did as …

Slow down Okay, I think we’ve all been there; Waiting on a line, and sure enough, the changing of the cashier begins. You look over to the other lines and see they are even longer, so you wait. If you’re in a hurry, it can be tough. I find out quickly if I’m going to …
