When my husband told me I needed my hearing tested because he was tired of repeating himself, I really thought the problem was his mumbling. But just in case, I decided to do it anyway.

After a downright cold Colorado Spring and recovering from a nasty virus, I was eager to start my summer with many things on my list.
