Kids... They grow up too fast. Someone said it here and it has burned in my brain. Paraphrase: Sometimes the days are long but the years go by fast.

Next week is my daughters senior prom. Where did the time go and can I stick a GPS tracker on her back or something without her knowing?

Time only moves in one direction. Kids grow up from infants, toddlers, young kids and turn into teens and then adults. It's fun to watch them grow but damn, it would be nice to have the Ground Hog day (movie reference) and be able re-live some of those days the past. For me, the best times in my adult life is watching them grow and "seeing" things all over again through their eyes. Answering questions of "why" which made me think "why" too. The questions on how does this work? Why do we do that? So I can't color on the walls or stick a fork in an electrical outlet or pretend the dog is a horse to ride? (all true stories).

If they know it or not, I've leaned from them more than I can give back.

Speaking of the Groundhog Day movie. I hear they are going to make a remake of it. It will be the same movie played over and over each day in the theaters.

You all are making me feel old. Think I'm gonna drink some prune juice, run some shuffleboard, and listen to Cat's in the Cradle on the Victrola

Morning, peeps

Bucky you are scaring me, my oldest is in first grade, but I think I know exactly how you feel. Every stage of their lives I want to press pause and make it last longer, but then the next stage turns out to be even better.

Congrats on getting her to this stage in life successfully! I hope you have many more moments of joy with and because of her.

You need some Ben Gay to help with the arthritis and some mothballs to store your winter clothes. Then brew a pot of coffee in the peculator on the gas stove. Those are some of the smells and sounds that I miss when visiting my grandparents.

Yeah, I'm getting old but today will be a good day. Happy Saturday to everyone. Also, Happy Mother's Day (a day early) to all Mother's out there.
