The older I get the faster time moves.
The year is half done and so many things have happened I can’t even begin to share, hopefully summer will be good as we move into hotter weather.
Our granddaughter moved to another state with her little family which means a two-hour flight to visit instead of a two-hour drive.
We do face time on our IPAD but that is not the same as a real in person visit.
The baby will be two in a few weeks. We will miss her party.
Our oldest granddaughter is having a baby in a few weeks, so it is a happy time for everyone.
It is a baby boy with the middle name given that is also great grandpa’s middle name. That was an emotional moment when they shared it at the baby shower.
We are definitely getting older. My knee surgery is still not healed, and I am looking at a knee replacement in about four months.
Hoping for a September time of recouping through the fall months.
It has been a long recovery that started last October.
I have so many little organization chores that needs to be done in this house, when we moved in a lot of things were just thrown in tubs and put into a closet. Soon the cleaning will begin. Especially if I am having knee surgery it has to be taken care of.
Time is sure moving fast. Turning 71 has made me realize more days are behind me than those that are before. What I do with those days is important for my legacy and my sanity.
We have aging cats these days and we are watching them, for signs of slowing down and health issues, they are both age 11.
I will not get anymore animals, I am truly done for the first time in my life I am positive these are our last ‘furry children’.
Time is sure moving fast and we need to make more decisions in the days ahead of us as change comes into our day to day lives..

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. ====================
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
Courage is not the absence of fear but it's taking action in the midst of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I turned 71 this past March, Sharon, and it hit me hard, too. I’m trying to remember to count my days and treasure every one of them as God intended as there is no way of knowing how much more time He has allotted to me in this life. It’s so hard when family is far away, too. We just had a wonderful visit from my daughter and her family – I miss them so much. God bless!
