My good friend Ralph forwards all this interesting e-mail to me and on Wednesday I choose the best to share with you.

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world.
And after two or three hours with them, I believe it, too.

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice,
I should advise every one of you straight away to become one.
There is no fun for old people like it!

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother
that's why the world calls her grandmother.

sleeps on schedule and burps on demand,

and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren.

What is it about grandparents that is so lovely?
I'd like to say that grandparents are God's gifts to children
And if they can but see, hear and feel what these people have to give,
they can mature at a faster rate.

@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my garage where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life goes on as usual.– Not a cup is out of place at Nancy’s. Pastor Moe is not under the illusion he is being thrown into a snowbank. There are no coffee geysers. So one may conclude either that the poltergeist is dead or has not returned.
Petrovich is locked up in his office studying old Russian manuscripts. He is trying to find the dribblets that have to do with the recent battles. There are so many dribblets and so little time.
Milk train arrived this morning with a load of tourists in a special car. They all came because of the news stories about the battle. Well , most of them came because of the news stories. One of them asked no questions but went straight to the fly Inn and got a room. He won't be leaving on the evening train.
Nancy is having a no poltergeist special – a saffron bun and a cup of coffee for $1.25. That comes with free poltergeist stories.
Buddy East says that he hasn’t received the plaque yet for the contest but as soon as he does he will send it to Margaret. Sometimes everything gets all fouled up.

Today's link-My Crazy Life- Come rejoice with a happy parent. Leave a Dr. John in the comment for an A.
My stomach was upset again today. I have no idea why. I did some reading. I watched my soaps. Took a nap. Arranged for telephone, cable, and internet for our part of the duplex. It starts on May 1. Trying to decide between Time Waner and AT&T was difficu8lt. What gave Time Warner the edge was they required no long term commitment where AT&T wanted two years. I did visit a few blogs. Now I need a breathing treatment.
