MY 86TH FALL

Soon it will be Fall again.....my 90th  Fall. How fortunate I have been.

I'm surprised at how fast the seasons pass. I'm so happy I can still enjoy them, still drive, am able to meet my friends for lunch, take some trips, watch sports on TV, belong to an exercise class and still do most of the things I have done all these years. (Maybe at a little slower pace).

I'm also so fortunate to have my 3 sons, their wives, my grandkids and great grands. and two Sisters, who contact me or visit often.

FOOD FOR SENIORS

This picture was taken in November by a News Gazette photographer, when I took packages of food for the FOOD FOR SENIORS program. I'm hoping everyone is helping with the food drives. With the economy as it is, so many people need food.
