Good morning posters.

They say it will be sunny today. I do hope so because we've had precious little of that lately.

So, on with today's peeve, which again shows my age!

Writing on labels that is too small to read easily.

If it's too small to read, then it means they're hiding something!

I used to hate, hate small print! I always had to ask someone to read it. I love the fact that braille only comes in one "font" size now!

That's what I was thinking of when I posted this.

I have to get my daughter to tell me the cooking time and temperature of some groceries.

I just went through that while buying a variety of cold meds for different age groups within my family Jezer. I totally agree with you.

Sounds like it is time for reading glasses. You can pick them up really cheap at a variety of stores. I keep several pairs all over the place so I can always find a pair when I need them.
