(we would have driven each other crazy for sure), but if you think you could sell both places, would it be possible to find a home with a mother-in-law suite attached or on the same property? So...

A&w
We seldom ate out, but the A&W drive in was our go-to place. Girls on roller skates delivered trays that hung on the driver's side window/door. Truthfully, I don't remember the food--I think just...

Yes! I agree with you!
I've retired this year thanks to Covid, but this has been more and more the case in recent years. It negated the reasons I became a teacher, and ignored all of my years of study and experience. I...
