Makes a gal feel pretty good. By the way, I learned long ago at anytime our ability to stop for just one second to smell or look at that rose (methaphorically)can be taken away. So now I do indeed stop even for a second to smell the rose.Am I Truly A Widow?https://www.blogger.com/profile/18395708879194413106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-1520743019571840752011-04-30T11:12:51.061-07:002011-04-30T11:12:51.061-07:00Vanessa - My son will be going three and a half ho...Vanessa - My son will be going three and a half hours away at this point - we're still waiting for final financial aid figures. He will be taking a class this summer at the community college. My younger son works at a warehouse - very physical. My oldest sometimes comes home with $150.00 in tips over a weekend - he works at a kid party place and is a party host. But there have been times he has been stiffed too. Thanks for dropping by. Hope all is going well in your life.<br /><br />Thelma - Appreciate you including me in your blog list. As you know, you're the reason I knew about the A-Z challenge in the first place. Tomorrow I am going to make a valiant effort to look at the other blogs. Today I have to get my youngest off to Prom so too much on my plate!<br /><br />Flo - I agree with you that men have qualities I just don't and that is okay. It doesn't make women weaker to want a man in their life or to appreciate the strengths men give us. Best wishes back to you!Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-43825788062269766372011-04-30T10:10:08.033-07:002011-04-30T10:10:08.033-07:00Wow, youngest son must have found one heck of a jo...Wow, youngest son must have found one heck of a job. I remember earning $3.35 an hour at my first job when I was 17! Is your elder son going away to college or living at home and commuting?<br /><br />Hope the library assistant classes go well--I think working in a library would be really fun for you! Enjoy the nicer weather. :)Vanessahttp://sneakyg.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-39108307923186027472011-04-30T08:16:17.393-07:002011-04-30T08:16:17.393-07:00Sounds like things are looking up.

We are in the midst of a drought.<br /><br />I listed some blogs I like in my final A to Z post. Yours will be included. Will have the post up soon.thelmazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819557846762852247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-55949779058502219742011-04-30T05:02:19.861-07:002011-04-30T05:02:19.861-07:00I came of age when we women were fighting for equa...I came of age when we women were fighting for equality in the 70's. I developed the attitude 'I can do anything a man can do', short of procreation and 'brute' strength. How wrong I am! Call it what you will, a mature man's capabilities don't completely overlap my own! <br /><br />You are flowering, and I am glad to witness it through this blog. I hope enough free time comes your way to inhale deeply and, ahhh, exhale the old ways that no longer serve you. I send best wishes!Flonoreply@blogger.com
