Presbytidas

Posted on February 2, 2024 by For Glory Sake!

Presbytidas is Greek for old women. There’s no getting around 57 being “older.” My mom used to say she couldn’t wait to turn 70 so she could say whatever she wanted. We daughters would roll our eyes, because she already … Continue reading →

Passing it on

Posted on April 17, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Posted on May 13, 2022 by For Glory Sake!
