A very peculiar thing happens since I became legally blind, I see things that others don’t. That’s right, I, who can’t see much of anything, can spot a spot on the floor that someone else would not notice. The reason for this, as best as I can figure out, is…
What do you put on your hot dog? I am a mustard and relish gal. How about a hamburger? I use only ketchup. I remember when I was young relish was sold in a jar, like grape jelly, and Ketchup came in a tall glass bottle. But, of course, now…
