Can You Help Me With a Story Problem?

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

Somebody and/or something is changing. Nancy is off filling up on Texas fiber. She left Thursday and will return soon. In the meantime, she made up a crock pot full of chili for me to eat because she knows otherwise it will be Miller Chill and M & M’s. We had a bowl before she left [...]
