ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
” I notice that one reason young people say they don’t like to visit old folks is because they are often so negative. ” – very true.
Those who don’t know how to laugh at themselves do not know what they are missing.
Good evening, Pranab. Very true about old folks. But it is not any more beautiful on young folks. Those who will never get past telling you how booorrring everything is, Those who think they have to spend spring vacation on South Beach or life is so unbearable. Good night as I move on.
Good night Oneta.
Take care and stay safe.
Totally true!!
😀 A lot of the time for sure.
A truth or partial truth but is a great response to the challenge.
Hopefully I made it plain that there are serious times when a person needs real help from a real person who can and will help. My “fake it” is for those who find drama in bad news. 😀
I reread and across the seas affirm PUT ON A HAPPY FACE. Bless the folks (you may meet if you need to GO somewhere). Thank helpers with genuine warmth. Live in the middle of ‘whatever’
Good advice.
I feel that the young generation should see the old folks as a huge source of knowledge of life and hear their life’s stories with great intrest and fullfil the generation gap . My experience says that there are many things to learn from the olds
I wish I had paid more attention to that when I had older people to listen to! 😀 Now I’m there – some listen once in a while.
Old people have a lot of experience and wisdom that comes with their age. While young people may not like what they have to say, it’ll do them good to listen to it. Great take on the prompt and thank you for participating. 🙂
Experience will give some “dos” and “don’ts” that don’t come in textbooks. Thanks for your kindness to me.
Exactly! That kind of wisdom is hard to come by otherwise. Hope you are safe. 🙂
Yes, thank you.
Take care. 🙂
I may be young, but we all have to remember we have our down days. Every one wakes up on the wrong side of the bed some time…, but we can still take advantage of a beautiful (or not) day… AND our attitude. 🙂
