I pulled out enough money to buy a new (to me) car and redo my bathroom and then I had to replace the AC. Good bye bathroom. sigh. <br /><br />Sunrise, Sunset....my kids are your age. Middle grandchild started college this year....Dang! I think she's only 12!

(And no, I did not watch it just now -- it's my #2 son's 24th birthday, I don't need to watch it to cry.) Thank you for the update on your 2 oldest offspring, I'd been wondering about them. <br />I love that you are going to be paid for being a senior companion. I have no doubt that your clients are about to have their socks blessed off! What a great service. I hope this idea takes off everywhere. <br /><br />"Still standing" = a great sense of humor. And as long as your crystal egg is still in one piece, you know he's told the truth. ;) Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965093440928340819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-13327635180676984332016-09-11T18:16:45.515-04:002016-09-11T18:16:45.515-04:00I hope we will be able to findxa service like that...I hope we will be able to findxa service like that for my father in law soon. What a blessing. Arabic? Jeesh.

Love that kid. Congrat..."Still Standing!" Love that kid. Congratulations on Anna and Theo, tremendous accomplishments. And even Susie, good for her to take her own path. <br />But who said it was okay for them all to grow up like this?<br />Remember how in old novels people would have "companions" to sit and read with them and so forth? It's such a dignified, civilized and gentle thing. I am sorry you have regrets about your father's last year. I feel like you are paying that love forward, though, in a way that you can. It's tough when the parents live far from the kids. Our parents are both a 5-hour drive from where we live, when things start deteriorating, our helpfulness will be limited.

My oldest was DONE the time about half way through last time she went camping with us and I was really wishing we could have just sent her back down the mountain so we could enjoy the rest of the time in peace lol.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-90325440195278587172016-09-09T13:33:59.106-04:002016-09-09T13:33:59.106-04:00Wow.

It was only yesterday that my son was toddling around here opening the one kitchen cabinet that didn't have locks on them, removing the pans and crawling inside. Why? I don't know but he loved that.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-19072778491031891412016-09-08T10:11:54.584-04:002016-09-08T10:11:54.584-04:00I do not listen to that song.

I am always heartened when I hear of a citizen willing to learn Arabic.<br /><br />Yes, tiptoeing around a surly teen is the worst, especially in a campground.<br /><br />And I am always grateful for the people who do the senior companion jobs. I rely heavily on such a person to help out my aunt, and send me all her important papers. I don't know why it's impossible for my aunt to send me the papers herself, but she won't do it. I'm thankful that there is someone willing to do that job.<br /><br />My aunt could use a companion to drive her and her cats to their weekly vet appointments. But alas, she passed her driver's test and will be driving herself. God help us all.Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.com
