My husband and I both turned 50 last year. We joined the club. And for those of you approaching this mid-century milestone, it’s not so bad. Really. We have half of our lives left, if we are lucky. That’s my point of view. Not that half of it is over, but we half left. When … Continue Reading
As you may already know, in February the Polaroid company announced it was closing it’s factories and that Polaroid film was going the way of the dial telephone. Good bye old friend.
