    About this ebook

    Living on borrowed time makes each day a treasure. Every good experience is appreciated and the bad times can be survived. My three wonderful sons are healthy and into their own middle age. Now I am the grandmother in the family, with two grandsons and two granddaughters.

    My life, as I remember it, is a collection of chunks of years, with memories of childhood, of growing up, going to school, making friends, but most of all, memories of family.

    Seventy-five years and counting. How many more? You never know. Ill just enjoy what I am given. Overall, I dont know how a life could have been any better.
