Driving 101
“Somebody actually complimented my driving today. They left a little note…It said, “Parking Fine.” ~ Tommy Cooper Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of talk about the elderly and driving.

The Neighborhood Don Juan
Braden has a girlfriend…only she doesn’t know it. Well, that might not be completely true; I think she knows it but she’s really good at pretending she doesn’t. Actually, I think he’s going to be a ladies man because he has a couple of little girlfriends. But his first real crush was on (and still…

Braziers and Camisoles and Slinky Nighties…Oh My!
Anyone who has ever been around preschoolers for any length of time knows that the under-five set have their own vocabulary.
