January 12, 2024 by Marcia Mantell

Back in 2015 I wrote a post asking, "What will you be doing in retirement?"

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

More coming soon…
