~When I Was Your Age~ :-)

I remember when I was younger how I hated to hear the words "When I was Your Age".... I can hear that coming from my parents many times. I would stand there and just look to the side, rolling my eyes and thinking "They DONT KNOW!!".. Now, I KNOW and THEY were RIGHT! :-) I have said so many times, "if I knew THEN what I know NOW", my life sure would have been different.. Which, I believe, BUT.. that doesn't necessarily mean it would be better... Hopefully it would, but then again...that may not be so.... I hear Penny telling me about the problems her kids are having and how she tries to tell them so they learn from HER experience.. Same with all of us.. we think if we give our 2 cents worth that hopefully someone will benefit from it, but the thing is.. you have to get their attention first so they pay attention to what you say. So much about the kids now.. I worry for my grands. If kids now days went to the kind of school they should, it would be one that had a strict dress code and NO peer pressure at all.. I think that's a lot of the problem now with kids.. They feel that they HAVE to "belong". When I was in school .. way back when... this year will be 46 years since I graduated high school.. I don't remember these kinds of problems.. Boys pants hanging off their butts, girls wearing shorts and super tight clothes showing everything they have.. I don't remember that in school at all.. we were more concerned in learning and having a life.. we were in a VERY small town and I think every one of my classmates knew THAT was how we were going to get to the "big city", we had to have an education, I think everyone in my class went to college. Me included.. Nurses Training.. :-) ... So much has changed and to me its scarey.. its not all changed for the better... I am anxiously looking forward to this Saturday. :-) About 10, my Dolly, Kelli and my great grand son, Alex are coming for a visit.. :-) I cant wait to see them. I know Alex has gotten so much bigger it will be fun to have him here, hes crawling and I have LOTS of room for him to do that here :-) Katrina, Kelli's niece will be coming with them, her parents both have to work and Kel is babysitting. Katrina is 6 I think.. not real sure, but shes a Cutie.. I made some pants for Kelli with a matching pair for Alex. I sent the first pair I made for him in the mail so I know this pattern fits him.. Theyre easy and fast to make... I just need more flannel :-) Its sposta be 60 degrees tomorrow and I'm debating to book a ride to Wal Mart in Coldwater.. Penny will be here at 9, and she can go with me.. So far I have nothing else scheduled.. I havent decided for sure yet.. but I'm deciding lol... What I HAVE decided is that IM HUNGRY!! :-) so.. that means one thing.. Time to write my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "g'day,g'day". :-) Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS! Always, Lois **** "God Bless You" is my prayer today, I'm honored to call you "friend". I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again....
