This intro was supposed to be the first blog, which was a long time ago. However, being
new to this at the time, I neglected to 'publish' it. So please ignore the mistake and accept it now, pretending that I am more organized than I am. Thanks

          Please allow me to introduce myself: I am 71, a grandmother of two beautiful girls, 2 handsome boys, and one great-granddaughter who range in age from (almost) 23 to 1 month (almost).

     My friends will tell you I am a confirmed yackoholic and enjoy having a captive audience.  Not always a pleasant trait to have and I find it difficult to reign in at times.  Hopefully this blog will help me curb the urge as you have the luxury of turning me off when I weary you!   

      I have learned a few truths in my years on this earth, all by making mistakes which are many and varied.  A lot of things has happened in my life that, when I was young, would only happen to other people.  Maybe there is someone out there that I can touch with some of these truths.  If it helps only one, it will all have been worthwhile.

     I may quote Dr. Phil from time to time as I am a loyal watcher. He says there is no reality, only perception, which I am not in total agreement with.  There is an ultimate reality beyond our limited knowledge. However, this blog is my perception of this world and what I have learned through the years.
