Aunt Arlene and Uncle Decker at the age of 81 and 82 have wonderful advice, stories and lessons for everyone! They are some of the greatest people and want to help anyone they can.
It's always great when family spends the holidays with you. Food, family and good old fashioned fun. Well taking selfies doesn't qualify as "old" fun but fun none the less.
What happened to me? How did I get to this place? How did I find myself scrolling through the yahoo home page and the one title that jumps out at me is “laundry detergent tests”. What the heck? What is going on in my life that the most interesting headline to me is about laundry detergent?
We recently got a puppy. You may be thinking that we are so lucky. Puppies are so fun and cute and they have that sweet smelling puppy breath. Others of you may even be jealous. Well, don’t be. Puppies are a pain in the butt.
