I read so many of these to my husband. He loved the one about not wearing a “little noose” also known as a neck tie. I think the only time I see him in a tie is when one of our boys gets married. I anticipate I won’t see him wearing one for a long while as the sons are all married now.

It used to be that weddings and funerals were mandatory neck tie functions! Not so true anymore. Now, if women would just ditch that ‘uncomfortable shoe’ tradition.

Shopping for clothes is very low on my priority list. Shopping for bathing suits is the worst, though!
I’m partial to T-shirts, both short and long sleeved; exercise pants and shorts; and fleecy jackets. Luckily, the clothing industry caters to those things quite extensively!
