Our grand children are all grown except one...

Where does the time go? I dread the day when they don't want to be outside playing with me when they come over, writing with chalk in the driveway, playing hide and seek, tag, riding bikes, or even shoveling snow as we have all been known to do. I'm hoping that I can keep them interested all summer in what we grow, the bees, the butterflies, the soil. Maybe it will be something that they learn to enjoy later, after the age of electronics being all consuming, etc. A GizzyGirl can hope... but I know what you mean when you say “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!”

The days of that for me are coming too fast!

My generation has seen so many changes. I remember when an refrigerator was an ice box, and we went to the ice house to buy a block of ice.

We didn’t have computers, tv, or smart phones. In fact all our phones (if we were lucky enough to have one) were dumb.LOL

I remember going to the local telephone office to make a phone call and seeing the operators plugging into the telephone board.

Just thiniing about all the technological stuff makes my head spin. It’s been an interesting time for more than half a century.
