You're right, I can't imagine the day when work and family are not consuming
my every waking minute.  And, I'm not all that young.  I got a late start on
motherhood.  I'm closer to 50 then 40,  hmm for that fact, I'm closer to 50
then 45.  But I'm proud to say I don't look it, and I enjoy my job and my
family.  I'm not sure that sitting around listening to books and doing
crafting day after day will be my M.O.  But once in a while would be nice..

Hi Annet.
That sounds like a great set up.  You still have children at home, don't
you?  You are still young.

When you get to be a Grandma like a lot of us, the days will come along
where you can read or do what you want all day. I know, you can't imagine
it. I didn't think that day would come for me. But now there days I am glad
I have a friend ina book. lol HenriettaAt 10:52 AM 10/4/2009, you wrote:
