My husband bought me this pillow in 2009. I was mad.
"My husband bought me this pillow in 2009. I was mad. I never would have spent this kind of money for a pillow (and it was about half the price it is today back then).

The Importance of DOING, no matter what your Age.

The Importance of DOING, no matter what your Age.

I don't think that the benefits of Exercise can be overstated, no matter what your age. Whether you are 5 years old, 35 years old or 85 years old. You must get up and do something.  My 5 year old watches her 9 year brother on the golf course and says she wants to do what he is doing. So we bought her a little bag and  gave her a few clubs. She is loving it.   I was talking to my very good friend Randy at the Golf Course today and he mentioned to me that he started playing...
