Your DGD is so sweet!!
Our DS always told his youngest sister (by 10yrs) that her responsibility, being the youngest, was to take care of us in our old age :wink:
I remember when she was really young the sweet - but panic-ed look on her face :!: Big brothers can be such a tease! Now we all figure it will be him & his wife (who was a nurse) since they are the only ones close by. Guess the last laugh will be on him! :lol: :lol: :thumbup:
Enjoy Jamaica!! I can only dream...

Right now it is snowing - again :!: :thumbdown: But I shouldn't complain --- rain is worse (when it comes down 3" at a time :thumbdown: :!: A soft spring rain w/temps at least in the 50s would be sheer heaven!
[Watched a hawk soar into my yard, hop (yes, literally hop!) up the lower branches of an evergreen tree & help himself to dinner - a little sparrow! It was amazing to watch him, once he had the little guy in his beak he flew off - so I was spared the gory part. Sure hope he finds another food source before the finches return!!]

Then, Kathi, I'm so glad you are able to go! When life gets stressful, seems something comes along to soothe us. May not be as big as Jamaica, ;-) :!: , but God always knows what we need - & when. Enjoy!!!
Psst--& be careful where you step ;)

Glad to hear everyone's well and even some are going to enjoy some warm weather.
As for old age care...we have 3 children and I've told them they will each have us for 4 months each year after we retire and then just keep passing us along. If the music stops and one of us ( meaning DH of I) are unable to move to the next chair then whoever has us at that point gets to keep us! They are all agreed on the plan, just not agreed on who has to go first!
Actually, we haven't decided where to retire. Our kids currently are in Florida, Arkansas and Wisconsin. The only one not likely to ever move is Wisconsin. Right now, I'm like Scarlett and will think about it tomorrow.

That sounds like a great idea to me. I'm tired of sending my kids money.
