sallyj Oh I agree. I remember learning. My grandmother had a nursing home, that I enjoyed the older women so much. My own grandmother refused to teach me how to crotchet, but these women were so glad to teach and enjoy a young person. You sure bring back memories...

sallyj It is hard to know when they appreciate you. I'm sure he knows how much you love him, but we often take it for granted they know what we are thinking. Does he withdrawl his feelings in order not to upset or worry you. I know I was so hurt that it...

sallyj It is very hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I am so hoping God takes him before I have to have this type of surgery again. He is 70. Thank you for reading Sally

sallyj It has been two weeks since his misbehavior, and my mylot friends are the first to hear of this. Everyone needs someone. At our age, most everyone from our circle of friends have died.

sallyj Yes I think so. He will be 70 in May, and there is no changing him. We have raised his boys (now one, the other died a year ago)and our son. I raised a fine man, sometimes I think it is because he saw so many flaws in his father.
