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

I forgot to post the past couple of days:-: Great selection today! What a handsome guy, Vicki, definitely a Pittie and I'll bet super smart! Hope it all works out:-) Here's an American Goldfinch taken from inside the car on a recent drive (can you tell we like escaping into the foothills?).

Kat, that's sweet! And check out the shoes--with buttons, yet. He still looks like a boy, though.

There was a beautiful Cardinal in the atrium yesterday! I loved seeing it in there. I do have bird houses in there because some tiny finches keep building nests in my plants. I am scared of drowning them when I water.
