One of the things my dad always said was, "Time don't wait for anybody." That is true. My mother-in-law is the last of our parents. She is 92 years old and is still very independent. Just this month she purchased a house in a small town 25 miles from her farm place. She is keeping the farm but it is time for her to be closer to other people.
Terry and I were discussing the fact of her buying a house. We feel blessed that she is healthy and mobile enough to live on her own. Most people that age are in the process of selling out and moving into a home. (whether it be with relatives or a nursing home) She is not a healthy eater. She never has been. I never knew of anyone eating so much junk until I met her, but even though I don't fry stuff in lard and eat processed desserts everyday, she has me beat in the healthy department!!! Headaches are rare with her and Terry. I wonder if it is in those German genes!
I can hardly believe that Terry and I have been married for 34 years. It hardly seems possible. I still feel like that kid sometimes and still act like that too. Terry's favorite thing to say to me is, "We're going to have fun growing up." I'll let you know how it goes after we do grow up.
