I am very happy that we acknowledge seniors in May. I used to think it was nice, but now, I think it is necessary. I have always loved seniors, but now I am an official member of the brigade. I have received many versions of the “Senior Texting Codes.” I cannot locate anyone claiming to be the author, so I wanted to share with you if you have not read these yet. It is my prayer that they will bring some laughter to your day. We all do need that, don’t we?
