So true, but you have so much time to do so many other things.. A great one liner, but please read all instructions of a contest, one was to date it. This is why you placed in 3rd position and not higher. Have a great day.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

Hi, SO! Sorry for the date omission! I should have received an NA! Have never done that before...but I appreciate the 3rd place. Thanks! Sandra

Yes, retirement has its ups and downs and one of them is losing those friends. Sometimes people make an effort to stay in touch, but after a while people in the workplace tend to forget them. Very good monoku, Sandra. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
