About Me	Just me, enjoying life. . . "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now.

I have a grandson who's 19 years old - I just have a hard time believing that one, when did he grow up?! Then I have 2 - 17 year old grandygirls.
