Storm, I think when I was a child there were 2 channels if you could get them both. I remember watching TV at my Uncle's home and one of us children would have to sit near the TV to hold the cord attached to the TV antenna and move it to get the channel! How times have changed. I remember when the internet first came out in the early 90's and it was attached to the telephone land line and as slow as molasses going up the hill in the winter time! No one could call when you were one the internet! The world has sure become small in the past 25- 30 years.

When I was a young child we had the crank phone with the party line! You had to crank the phone for the local phone number. It seems so funny thinking about it now. When we moved to town when I was 5 we had our first dial phone. I laugh about the changes!

Both my parents are gone now. My mother died last year at 92 and I would never wish her back, she was ready to go and my father had died 29 years earlier and so she was alone since then. I was closer to my father however miss them both. I think for many of us that missing never leaves us. It is different than grieving, that goes however the missing at times is very present.

I do have a grandson coming for the summer. He is 13 and Grandma 'little guy' even though he is taller than I am. I tell him he will always be my 'little guy'. Until we move here he lived 3 doors from us so grew up between his home and our home. He had a bedroom at both places and would just come to our place when he wanted to. We were so blessind to have him so close. I will treasure that the rest of my life. I have 2 other grandsons however I have never lived near them and don't really know them very well. I rarely have seen them.
