I sure miss the old girl- she was quite a woman in her day.

Luckily, mine is still around, and I'm enjoying every single day we get to banter back and forth. See, she almost died back in the spring (as most here at TM remember) so even when she hits a nerve, I count my blessings and bite my tongue. She's very "up" on things (being a Fox News junkie) and I love having a window to the past to put modern-day happenings into perspective. Truth be told, she has me aced when it comes to intelligence, and is also blessed with the common sense I lack.
BTTT same here for my Moms
