First-class postage goes up to 60 cents July 10, so get some extra Forever stamps and save a few cents. The Forever stamps you already have are still good and no additional postage needs to be added. Remember, a penny saved is a penny earned. My mom used to say pennies make dollars, and dollars make sense.

And speaking of my mom, Katharine Dahlman, she celebrated her 104th birthday in heaven June 5.

That’s all the news from The Edge of Wright. Remember to fly the flag on Flag Day, June 14.
