Church-organized. Nice kids. I relate to the younger folks better than
I do most of the people my age. It's a problem. I don't think the
younger ones are especially interested in being my friends, though.

I know what you mean. I took pains to explain it very carefully to the
young woman who was next to me at the bin as I was fuming about it.
Then she took one out and put it in her cart. Oh, well.

Agreed.

It'll be fun. She's younger than Beck and the break was inoperable.
Had to heal of its own. The littles are 3-1/2 and 7 (now 9) months and
until two weeks ago she was on a hospital bed in the living room. I
hooked her up with a better doc (being from a large family is SO
advantageous sometimes; we have or have connections to all the important
professions) and she's up and around now, down to one crutch. :-)
