As for aging, I've learned a lot about aging lately watching (or as we secretly but affectionately call it, "babysitting") Grandpa (96) and Grandma (88) a couple mornings a week. Grandpa tells Shane on a regular basis "Growing old ain't for sissies!" The best part for me is hearing Grandma's stories...over and over and over again. <BR/>It's all o.k., though. At my age my memory isn't what it used to be and if she didn't repeat them I'd never remember them.dalenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13414972890937798371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1123519164378323112005-08-08T10:39:00.000-06:002005-08-08T10:39:00.000-06:00Hats add some flairTo men with no hairSpecially th...Hats add some flair<BR/>To men with no hair<BR/>Specially the wrinkled old kind<BR/>For they can't be beat<BR/>Cuz age is a treat<BR/>A treasure thats truly sublimeFulton Bealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066999175367959012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1123442824516777392005-08-07T13:27:00.000-06:002005-08-07T13:27:00.000-06:00ha, those are awesome!

I'm glad you like them the way they are though.<BR/><BR/>Jules- I glad you got off the fence on the side of scouts. It really is a good program.<BR/><BR/>Paula- It is Guy, like fly or die. I just got an email from another Guy Francis from France. The only other Guy Francis I've met. I have a feeling his name is pronounced Gee.Kactiguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04266598831378871626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1123226504610617032005-08-05T01:21:00.000-06:002005-08-05T01:21:00.000-06:00Your style is great!
