I don't have pictures, so I can't put any of those in here. Besides, all of you in my family already have all the pictures. So--And I wouldn't know how to put them in anyway. Again--so---Luana said I should make this like a journal and write what I'm doing and what I'm thinking, etc. My days follow a pattern with little variation. Come to think of it, my days always followed a pattern, but the patterns changed as the years went by. Early years--mostly playtime. Then came the school days with piano lessons on Saturday mornings and church (with neighbors) every Sunday. Marriage and kids meant the rounds of breakfast, school lunches, hustle kids out the door in time for the school bus, cleanthehousedothelaundayirontheclothescoffeewiththeneighborwomencookdinnerherdkidstothe bathtubandintobed. RELAX, READ BOOKS, WATCH TV--By degrees it eased off, and now today it's gone back to mostly playtime. Playtime a la the grown up kind of fun -- reading, crocheting, scrapbooking, the computer for games, research, emails, etc. I know I couldn't live on my own now, so I'm fortunate to have had all those kids back then. Two of them cook my meals, do my laundry, and boss me around in a friendly sort of way.
Reaching this advanced age does make for a lonely life really. There's only brother John left in my age group, and I didn't know him until I married his brother. John was 10 and I was 18. All the others who knew me as young and called me something other than Mom or Grandma are dead and buried, most of them for a long long time now. Being deaf makes for a lonely life too--causes people to live in their own little world. Keep that in mind when I hound you with my "What did you say?" And that's enough belly-aching. Life is good, life is fun, especially since I am blessed with the greatest family ever set up by the good Lord.

In your own little world you have the advantage of making it everything you ever dreamed of. You are lucky you live in a day and age when there is captioning on tv. Think how boring it would be if you couldn't even understand your tv programs.
I'm cute, and even I like the captioning. I have been around it long enough that now I use both my ears and eyes to watch. When I can watch only with my eyes, I sometimes lose a little of the program. Not only that, I live in my own little world, not because I cannot hear, but because "I are whacko." However, I am still cute.
I like the captioning too, as I am going deaf in my left ear don't ya know Bobby?
Ok Grandmother you better post more woman!!! I love you, your favorite and most beautiful grandaughter ever....
This should prove to be most interesting. All the women who have responded are infatuated with themselves and their supposed beauty. BARF ME OUT THE DOOR! Heaven forbid that one of them might just post something worth taking note of. I stand in awe of all of your narcissistic leanings.
