SUSAN’S UNFILTERED WIT
Observations about life from the far side of the hill
Susan started writing when she discovered, in retirement, that she looked terrible in golf clothes and canasta had way too many rules.

Bring Back More Good Old Words!
It’s been almost a year and a half since I launched my campaign to invite lost words back into our everyday English vocabulary.
