I'm enjoying my 3rd retirement I thought I invented a new word today, freetirement, but no, it is in use, and there are even blogs. Anyway, lots of time on my hands.

I thought of something as I mull this over. If I make any kind of donut, I will use the same metal cooling rack that I used when I made those donuts when I was a kid. It was my Gram's and when she was done with it, I got it. At least weekly use all this time
