Re: DAY BY DAY (Message for Chris)

[Guest guest]

Hi

My God, times does have the uncanny ability to get away from us, doesn't

it? This message that I am now replying to that you send to me and the

whole group to read and to reply to if desired, got to my mailbox on May

2 and here it is May 14, two weeks later, and I am just getting around

to answer it now, although I did read it on the 2nd and decided to wait

until " tomorrow " to reply, but " tomorrow " did not come until TODAY, May

14!!! How is that for time flying by?

Thanks for telling us what a Kindle is. I know that I, as a person who

did not really know what a Kindle was BEFORE I read this message from

you below, am glad that I now know what it is, and that all of the

other members of our group who DID know what a Kindle is when they read

your message to us below, were very happy to have read your description

anyway.

What I want to say here is that I sure do remember the Bobbsey Twins!!

I had a few of those Bobbsey Twins books when I was a kind but,

unfortunately, did not read them. I think that the problem I had which

prevented me from having read them was that my vision was a lot worse

than it is today and that the print in the books was, therefore, too

small for me to have read easily and comfortably!! Here I am at 61

years of age with much better vision than I had when I was 10 and 15,

thanks to two very gifted eye surgeons who I was fortunate to have had

really wonderful surgical experiences with when I was in my mid 20s and

early 30s!!! How is that for an oxymoron?

So, my dear friend, now I am happy to be able to say that I have finally

answered this message after a long overdue... Well, you know what I

mean!! Now everyone who is an active member of our Life Lift group will

be able to read MY pearls of wisdom!!! HE HE HE HE HE HE HE!!!

Love always,

Pat
