SENIOR MOMENTS
Remember when -
We thought fast food was what people ate for Lent.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.
Clothes dryers were made out of rope and hung from a kitchen window or put on a roof.
The term ‘making out’ referred to how you did on a school exam.
A ‘ 5 & 10 cent’ store actually had items that cost five and ten cents.
‘Hardware’ was found in a hardware store and ‘software’ wasn’t even a word.
Now, if I could just remember what I was going to do next.

Love is in the air or maybe in the water because everyone it seems is in love with someone. Only trouble is it doesn’t seem that nobody’s somebody loves them back. So, to what extent will anyone go to be sure that nobody loves somebody and that somebody loves them!

To be considered you must arrive 30 minutes before showtime;you will receive an “index card” with all you need to know about who you are. There is ALWAYS the option to just sit back and be entertained - we do not put anyone in the spotlight who does not want to be there!!
