I felt that I was accomplishing something important each day that I combed her hair, picked out a new outfit for her to wear, tested her on her spelling words, etc. I was lost in the fog of "maybe tomorrow" she will understand, apppreciate, contribute. When I reflect on those memories, I consider myself tipped. I know that there will continue to be disappointments in the future. I've already spent my tips and don't plan to collect any more.

I always ordered from the Belly Buster menu, and had a collection of ribbons from eating many a Pig Trough.<br /> <br /> Back then, I could eat anything and everything, and never gain an ounce. Now, just walking past the ice cream section of the grocery causes the addition of at least 5 lbs on my hips and thighs.<br /> <br /> ::::blinking innocently:::: Nancy, we are old things, and we still have value!
