Thank you Mike


This is my 2 1/2 year old grandson, Matthew. Yesterday he came to my house with his mother and sisters and a neighbor lady. Katie and her neighbor came to pick apricots. As Matthew was coming in the house I said to him "Are you here to play or work"? he replied "I'm here to play." I told him I thought that he should work. He said "No Grandpa, I have a Daddy." This sounds more like something a female would say. Then my 8 year old granddaughter,Erin, informed me that her nearly 103 year old Great- Grandmother had passed away on Saturday. Erin then said "I think she was the oldest person on earth. I guess it seems that way when you are eight.

She was the oldest person that I have ever known!! Also, she was one of the dearest, sweetest, and most cheerful people ever to grace Mother Earth.

I have a lot of work to do to even be half that cheerful on a day-to-day basis...
