Older and Wiser?
Nineteen years. That's how long my hubby and I have been married. I had a starry-eyed view of what my marriage would be at 25 years old. Being that 19 years is a long time, I am definitely older, but am I wiser than when I said, "I do."? Grandma: You know, when I was... Continue Reading →
