I'm a Senior Citizen


I'm not a Senior Citizen (yet). I copied this for my dad because I like to make him laugh!


I'm a Senior Citizen I'm the life of the party-even when it lasts until 8:00 p.m.I'm very good at opening childproof caps - with a hammer.I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I'm going.I'm good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, bean-o, antacid...I'm the first one to find the bathroom wherever I go.I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you are saying.I'm very good at telling stories...over and over and over and over.I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not as bright as mine.I'm so cared for: Long-term care, eye care, hearing care, dental care...I'm not grouchy - I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, children, politicians...I'm positive I did housework correctly before my husband retired.I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place.I'm wrinkled, saggy, and lumpy - and that's just my left leg.I'm having trouble remembering simple words like....I'm now spending more time with my pillows than with my mate.I'm realizing that aging is not for sissies.I'm anti-everything now: anti-fat, anti-smoke, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory...I'm walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less.I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days.I'm in the initial state of my golden years: SS, CD's, IRA's, AARP...I'm wondering if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?I'm supporting all movements now - by eating bran, prunes, and raisins.I'm a walking storeroom of facts - I've just lost the storeroom.I'm a Senior Citizen - and I think I'm having the time of my life! ~Author Unknown -

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
