In these trying days and times, we must all be FLEXIBLE and adaptable to our ever-changing environment, not only in our homes, but in everything we do!

In two previous posts, I briefly touched on invitation wording. But I can’t have a discussion about wording, without throwing in a few snippets about the importance of grammar and punctuation.
