I'm a few years behind you in the mad rush to the end, but I find myself musing more often about the unfettered childhoods we enjoyed, free to roam and endure the occasional minor cuts and scrapes while blessedly unsupervised from dawn til dusk.<br /><br />What our kids (or grandkids) are missing out on is nothing less than freedom -- <i>real</i> freedom. Is it any wonder so many seem to rush into the comforting embrace of the Nanny State?<br /><br />(sigh)Mike Liefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634089011440985837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892346.post-65658566713907712942010-06-29T08:18:49.709-07:002010-06-29T08:18:49.709-07:00We are the same age, but I am one grand child ahea...<i>We are the same age, but I am one grand child ahead of you by 10 months.

I really don't expect anyone to read my blog but it is nice to know that someone does.<br /><br />My mother passed away when my daughter was very small and I wish every day that she was still alive to see what a fine young woman her grand daughter has grown into and would be able to have the joy of being a GREAT grandmother. She would be so very proud.<br /><br />I'm sorry for the loss of your wife. Maybe your wife and my mother are looking on from another plane and are still able to feel the joy.Dust Bunny Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341429444562280127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892346.post-51720892294911845272010-06-28T03:20:03.085-07:002010-06-28T03:20:03.085-07:00Dear DBQ

This post, and other thoughts ("he's got my back" comes to mind particularly) I have forwarded shamelessly to my family.<br /><br />Also recipes. Sorry.<br /><br />But I'm moved to write just now because of your recent "What if what annoys other people is women wearing long skirts that look like they were made from WWII parachutes and mary jane shoes that went out of style in 5th grade?" <br /><br />I have been searching for the right words for that 'look' for frustrating ages - and you just shot that off seemingly without even thinking about it. <br /><br />We are the same age, but I am one grand child ahead of you by 10 months. You will love it! But I just wish my lovely wife were still alive to share the joy.<br /><br />With greetings from Australia - where your California youth was my east coast of Australia<br /><br />Davidsomewhyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426730117889215397noreply@blogger.com
