This, I think, is the worst thing about getting older.
There are limited choices ahead of you and the very nastiest choice is to give up your independence and settle
for assisted living or a nursing home. Thank God, we aren't there yet!

We have, however, had to give up road trips and independent
travel. I just booked a vacation with the bus travel
company that we went with last year. I will have help with
Ted and with the luggage. Rex has his stay reserved in the
doggy hotel of his choice. This has given our morale a
boost. A boost that I sorely needed after experiencing
the greatest tragedy of my life that will remain with me
always.

I cherish my family. My sister and I have become much
closer. My daughter is my rock and the little great
grandchildren furnish the comic relief. I am so proud
of my four beautiful grand daughters and two grandsons.

I need to do some work on our third bedroom. It has been
a catch all for the computer and exercise equipment. We
need a second guestroom for when the grand children
spend the night. I need to replace my old school desk
with something more pleasing to the eye. So I have
projects to last me through the summer.

The twins will be taking care of my yard again. They
are a delight and they have already been around to
check on us.
