Lou Ann, I enjoyed your comment "my favorite comment is 'I thought that we would live in a gated community in our 50's just didn't know that it would be baby gates!' "
I chuckled, because when our grandchildren came to live with us, we did live in a gated community. However, since our house was really too small for all of us and we couldn't afford a bigger house within our gated community, we moved out into the country in a big old farm house. I do love living way out here even if we don't have the conveniences we had before. But your comment hit home and made me smile. Thanks.
At 55 I did expect that my life would be a bit different than it is, but as so many grandparents have written, I wouldn't change things now. For me, since I had my first baby at 19 and had eight children and now raising grandchildren, I have never yet NOT been raising children. I expect I will live to be a very old woman and some day, they may be taking care of me.
