My old brain was getting mixed up in the number of posts I\’d written. It seems like a lot more than eight, but I guess it\’s not. Since I\’m old I can start numbering my posts whenever I want to. It\’s my world! Today, we are going to talk about a younger person, author Regina …
This week marks the beginning of fall. In my younger years, I did not like fall. My favorite time of the year was spring and summer. As I look back on that time in my life, I believe my dislike of fall was associated with school. I never hated school, I didn\’t want to be …
Sometimes we go back in time to think about our past. We remember our family and friends. Most of mine have passed, but I still remember the joy we had at one time. Time has passed for most of them, my two best friends in high school are gone now. Other friends I have lost …
Growing up in the hills of East Tennessee, we didn\’t make a big thing about Labor Day. We lived on a farm and we worked on Labor Day. At least the grown-ups did. Being dirt poor, we did not have a cookout or a picnic. My parents and grandparents worked. Our cash crop was tobacco. …

Changes In Our Lives I\’ve never liked change. Maybe it\’s my age, but I still don\’t like it. I don\’t think I ever have. Change is part of life. It\’s kinda like snakes. I don\’t like them, but they are essential to the universe. Therefore I tolerate them. This has been a hard week for …
Trials and Pleasures of Growing Old All week, I\’ve thought about this post. Several things ran through my brain about what would be catchy to write about. It seems when I sit down at the computer that the right things come to mind. The pleasure for us is a vegetable garden. My husband loves to …
How Old Is Old? You\’ve heard the saying. \”You\’re as old as you feel\”? I believe that is true. When you look at some older people who are active, you wonder how they do it? The first one that comes to mind is Moses. You\’ve heard of him, the man who lead the children of …
