    I love this thread!!!

    1) I am the youngest of 4 children with the oldest being 14 years my senior.
    2) Despite having no children of my own, and being the youngest of my sibs, I am the only one who is a grandmother! (courtesy of 2nd husbands children!)
    3) I have more control over my toes than most people. I can spread them fully apart like fingers, move each toe individually, pick things up, and manipulate objects with them. My husband swears I can hang off a branch using my toes.
    4) I cannot sit still very long, 15 minutes seems to be the max.
    5) Seasonal changes still excite me, the first Crocus of spring, the smell of mowing of the lawn, fall color, and the first snow - all still bring great joy to me and I look forward to all the little joys that each season brings every year.
