Recently, we saw “Rachel’s Wedding” at a movie night with folks from the Refuge. Afterwords, we has an open discussion about the film and implications about family. It was a very interesting evening.

Now we are dealing with my sister’s divorce and all of the angles pertaining to such.We both love my sister and love having her live with us. It is almost like being kids again! My head and heart are spinning now wishing there was an easier solution. It’s about money, power and control; the lawyers are right in the middle of the muck sucking up cash as it is drawn from all.

On Sunday, we went to have a breakfast dinner with our friends whom averaged at about 70 yrs of age. The room was full and lots of coversations about everything but their health issues. I sat next to a lady married 54 yrs and still working at age 73 yrs.
” I quit coloring my hair recently; I just let it go natural gray,” she said. The she looked across the table and asked the lady we brought, Margo, ” How old are you sweetie, since I just told you my age?”
Margo, a bright woman of some years and very bright and agile casually commented, “well I am 93.”
The 73 yr old lady looked a little shook-en up and piped off, “it is so nice that you get around so nicely.”  Margo had that look that had no words, as if to say, I am 20 yrs your senior and I can still out think you!
