QUALITY TIME ----- POTD ---

What is time but a thing we cannot see, but it is everywhere. Time comes and goes before we know it, good times and bad times. The question is what is quality time? Everyone's answer will be different, grandkids to fishing to volunteering. The quality of the time, is what we make it.
