We made 50 years in November 2012
Golden Anniversary came and went
A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

To my Grandkids

A GRANDMOTHER'S PRAYER

Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,
Eternal beauty or youth or such:
Just give me a little hand to hold
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.

I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs,
Just give me a little face to kiss
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.

For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?

So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, Thou hast given
This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

TGIF

I look forward to Friday most of the time. I usually clean the clubhouse on Thursday or Friday and it is also the end of the week. Garn especially likes Friday because he doesn't have to drive to work for two whole days. We are usually exhausted by Friday night so we get take out food or go out to eat. Brayden, our grandson, works at Subway so we often frequent that establishment and get sandwiches with his family discount. Typically, we will just watch a movie, or as Garn says, I never watch the movie, I listen to the movie because I am always busy doing handwork of some sort or doing a project. What can I say? It keeps me awake and besides Garn is usually dozing so it keeps me company. I don't blame him for being tired. He has a time demanding job and it wears him out. I am looking forward to Spring and Summer. We will be going to St. George in a couple of weeks to get out of the cold and celebrate birthdays with family. I am looking forward to that reprieve.

Good job you are on a roll. I spent the entire day with my head in the toilet after one pain pill. Never again. I can take any pain over this. St. George is looking good. My foot is actually doing much better than I expected. Love, Charmaine
