Written by

I was at water aerobics yesterday.  I put my water weights and my shoes on the side of the pool by my favorite spot – near the speakers so I can hear better.  As I walked toward the steps, I said to my friends, “You would think that after the whole summer my feet would […]

Selling Seniors Short

Written by
