So glad hair products have improved over the years!

WOW! Lucky me! I carefully made my way to the mailbox with my cane and less than an inch of snow. I took the lone Christmas card I had addressed and stamped in December, and put the flag up. I had a Walmart bag with me for the incoming mail. My hands felt frozen inside my gloves as I gingerly made my way back up the driveway to the porch.

I can't take my trash to the street.

(Something neat, from Facebook ...)

They call us "The Elderly"
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We ventured into the 80-90’s.
We stabilized in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of "Seen-It-All"!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!

Class dismissed.

Probably like the car I rode home in from the hospital when a few days old. And I was told there was an ice storm that January day.

I need serious help of every kind. Thank you for your prayers, God knows my multiple needs.

Whatever your needs, God will be there.

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)

God sent godly neighbors to help. Things are looking up! Better weather this week, too!

 

[Rescued One]

Thank you, EVERYONE, for prayers! God is good!

 

[Unqualified]

My prayers keep getting answered too.

Yup, our school required that you cover the books so they could be reused again and again. You could buy manufactured covers or make them yourselves. Most kids just used the grocery bags, as above. You could do your artwork on them. You know, make them your own.
