Luella wants to know what it was like when I was younger. I was thinking of the 'up hill both ways' answer I always recieved. My Father did not grow up with all the wonders that we now deem a necessity now a days. Some of his stories would rival the four yorkshire men. I am sure that my own children might question some of my adventures. They sure like to push my buttons when they try to ask for everything. 'I want this! I want that! I want..... I want.... I want!!' Then hearing them dislike items that are needs like food and clothing. This drives me crazy. I just need to keep reminding them of what is important. That we don't need objects to make us happy (even though they may make life enjoyable), we need the love and support of our family and friends. We are very fortunate for having great friends that have supported our family like family. It will be great to move close to our children's uncles and aunts, yet it will be sad to leave the relationships that we have grown and nourished. Now I have to find a way to kindly enforce that daddies never were little girls!
