‘Life’

What a wonderful weekend!  It started out on Friday night when I was on my way home from work, and my roommates (aka Hannah and Jacob) texted me and asked if I wanted to meet them for dinner.  Duh!  My advice to parents of adult children – if they ask you to go out – say yes!  It didn’t matter that I had weigh in...
