I’m 65-year-old grandmother, a semi-invalid with a husband, five living children (we lost one almost three years ago), and a Ph.D. Last year I got mainly gift certificates for book stores for Christmas.

My hubby came through! On Christmas I opened a present and found the “Hairspray” DVD and a new hair brush! Read More »
