There are two lasting things we can give our children, one is roots...the other is wings.
Isn't it crazy how we long for no schedule when we are tight in one and then when we have no schedule we want one...this is kinda how I have been feeling...the kids have been getting to bed late and because of all the fun summer activities we are missing our naps some days.
Yesterday I had my grandmother for the day, she is 92 years old and still in good health but weighing only 83 pounds.The kids are fascinated by all her wrinkles and then we tend to talk about death quit a bit.
I asked her jokingly what it is that she did all her life to bring her this far and with such good health? she replied without any hesitation,"my mother always told me,EAT. DRINK . AND BE MERRY." I chuckled
but it really stuck to me, EAT. DRINK. AND BE MERRY.
there is so much to get from this...what do you think??
I am tacking this on my wall EAT. DRINK. AND BE MERRY. better yet maybe I can find a plaque with it written on!

Wow, you look so gorgeous in that family pic! - like a model or something. What's up with that? You're supposed to start looking old and floopsy about now.
