2006 was the best of the best! I grew up out here in the country and left home for college at age 17. Now my children are all grown with children of their own...............they all get to come home now to granny out in a remodeled farmhouse they remember from childhood and so does their mother. My life has changed dramatically from living in the city all those years of adulthood. Lots of gardening, lots of prison ministry work, and the grandchildren coming down to ride everything from a giant mower, to the gator and tractors, and feeding deer and cattle. I don't deserve this life, but I find it easy to stay in an attitude of gratitude each and every day....I am just now starting to landscape around the house....got lazy last fall and just planted down in the veggie garden...They are just starting to bloom, including 480 snapdragons!!! Life can't get any better than this at the age of 65.
