We blinked and we are growing older and they are growing up. I still don't quite understand why, each year, the demand for my appearances continues to grow. I expected to be in a home by now. Diane says that I have been in assisted living for years. She claims to be the attendant who has been assisting me. Maybe it is because of her care that instead of skating slowly out on golden pond, I can keep walking through the doors God keeps opening. It has been another wonderful year. God is very good!

Screaming corks! That’s what my grandchildren turned into when we took a vacation on Norris Lake in Tennessee. They spent so much time in the water that by the end of the week, they lost their cork-like quality and started to look like prunes… only smaller. Craisins. That’s it! They looked like Craisins. After a week of living on a dock, in boats and life jackets with three families, we didn’t want to go home.
