Schoolhouse, feel free to share. Alisande she's in her early 70's there. She was a very spritely lady. She lived out on a farm by herself well into her 90's. Can I share a story or two? I remember being about 8 or 9 (early 60's) and Mom and I stop in at Great Grandma's. She's into her 80's by now and when we get there the side of her face is all scuffed up. Mom asks, "What happened Grandma!" "I fell going out to the mailbox." "Maybe you should have a cane." "Aaack, canes are for old people." Her daughter, my great aunt Marion, was 100 last October. She just moved into assisted living last July. Last Fall Bigbaby and I took her shopping for a new Winter coat. She wrote a check and of course the clerk asked for ID. She was so proud to whip out her drivers license, good until she turns 102. I hope I've inherited some of those genes. Ron

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......traffic on a Saturday afternoon once in a while or brrrrrrrrr cold and snow? No contest! I don't have to drive this traffic except once in a great while, so I'll choose the traffic!

Well, this is the photo I thought of for today, so I'm going with it:-) This is a tiger from the same place as the serval I posted recently (Cat Haven Wild Animal Park). This was late 2008 - would like to visit again. P.S. This was taken through the fencing. For some reason, you just aren't allowed to go in with them, LOL!

I don't think I've ever seen the view from the top of the Washington Monument. And I know I've never viewed a bluejay from that angle! Ice! We've got a ton of it, but now it's a lot worse than this picture. It covers every inch of the property. It's so thick that when my son drove his truck over it, you couldn't see any tracks.
