What it's like to get older ...

One day, you look at a Polaroid (ok that sorta dates me, LOL!) of you as a kid with with your grandparents and your parents ... and you are older than your grandparents were in the photo, and your parents could be your kids!

You're very welcome! She's been writing for so many years it could take weeks to read it all. lol I got started reading when she was taking care of her terminally ill mother. I hope she continues to blog for a long time to come.
