Why did so many people look and act cranky today? It's a beautiful sunny day! No, I didn't hang out at the jail or the hospital where you might expect to see frowns, scowled foreheads and people looking for some sunshine in their lives.

A few days ago I turned 58 years old. I told a friend I was going to start saying what I thought regardless of the issue. She laughed and said "you already do" True to a point. I have been trying to remain tactful. Yes, you are right, it is HARD!
Only another 34 days left until the general election! Then I can speak my mind. Whew, I can't wait. So, the point is if you want to see me polite, tactful and patient your time is running out :- )

At one point after smiling at, making faces at and uttering out loud lots of "for cutes!" I apologized to the adults. "Seriously, I am not a weird-o stalker but I don't have grandchildren of my own." She nodded and said " no problem" but gave her sister the look that clearly said "that woman is a lunatic" Then she gave me the uh-huh, you are a goofy old woman get away from me grin that I have come to recognize.
Over the edge? Not long ago while shopping I saw this precious Halloween costume for a little girl. I picked it up, gushed over it and carried it around for awhile trying in vain to think of someone I knew to give it too.
This is why despite the fact many children are little germ carrying runny nose
I can't wait for December when I can play Mrs. Claus and have a purpose when I pick up and hug the little darlings, read them stories and pretend -- just for a moment -- that they are my very own little precious grand babies and that I am real Grandma and not a Grandma-wannabee.
