This is our grandson, Jacob. Whenever he comes over, he has to sit in the truck. Thank God our neighbors don't live too close since he loves to blow the air horn!!

Tinman..are you still looking in?

From the archives..a very good poem posted by the Tinman.

WHEN I'M AN OLD LADY

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness...just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided,
Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids).

I'll write on the walls with reds, whites and blues,
And I'll bounce on the furniture...wearing no shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids).

When they're on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,
And when that is done, I'll hide under the bed!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids).

When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry...I'll run...if I'm able!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids).

I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud till the end of the day!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids).

And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan,
"She's so sweet when she's sleeping!!"


If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.

Yes, it would be great to have him with us all the time but the road is no place for a child. So I just carry his pictures and enjoy the time we get with him.
