Now that Mother has passed I'm pausing even more but then I think of Grandmother and tell myself I could very well have at least another 33 years so... Ha! There is a sense of urgency as I get older, though. I'm so excited for your first great-grandchild!

We are enjoying our newest addition to our family so much. I can't help but laugh at the list of obsolete things. LOL! I still have many of those things. Even a Rolodex! LOL! And I did chuckle over your comment on the TEETH! My middle daughter works in the dental field and oh my! Needless to say her thing is TEETH! I told her once time her two daughters, my grandgirls, I am pretty sure has the prettiest, whitest teeth in town! LOL!

I do not like giving up “summer” to DAYS of rain. Now I must put that in perspective after seeing what’s gone on in the South.<br /><br />Bridger, I presume, such a handsome dog.

I've seen it there before, but today it stood out for some reason and I really like it. And by the way, no way you look 70. <br /><br />I turned 60 last year and that's really the first time that age bothered me much.

I guess all those so-called obsolete things are still used by us old folks. I hope you will still be around in ten years. I wonder about that myself. I will be 70 next year.

We love our Roku. We will be getting rid of some premium channels on our cable and going to basic but not until we find the right place to watch our current favorite shows. You know that I never had a birthday that had me upset until I turned 60. That was almost seven years ago and I'm still not liking it. I better get ready for 70!! Our families both have longevity in them. My dad will be 95 this month. I'm not so sure my health will get me to that age. Yes get outside and off the computer for sure. Oh my, your going to have your first great grandchild. I'm just going to be a grandmother for the first time. I'll never see what your seeing.

We just had two days of much needed rain and things are greening up fast. Many indoor tasks are calling my name today, however.<br /><br />Your granddaughter (the mama-to-be) looks so much like you! How exciting to think of having a great-grandchild.
