Rayven and her Mom are going for a final interview this morning, at the new school, Chattanooga School for Arts and Science, that she is hoping to go to next year. She loves to draw and for 14 years old, she is pretty good. But then again, I can't draw a straight line, so anyone who can draw anything, is good to me! She brought this picture over to me yesterday and said she had drawn it for me and it had taken her a week to do it.
TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN,  
SO ENJOY 
THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.
You Know You Are Getting Older 
When:
·         Your kids are 
becoming you . .. but your grandchildren are perfect!
·         Going out is 
good . . . Coming home is better!
·         You forget 
names . . . but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!
·         The things you 
used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you 
don't care to do them anymore.
·         You sleep 
better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed . . . it's called 
"pre-sleep".
·         You miss the 
days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.
·         You tend to 
use more 4 letter words . . . "What?" . . ."When?"
·         You notice 
everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"!
·         What used to 
be freckles are now liver spots.
·         Everybody 
whispers.
·         You have 3 
sizes of clothes in your closet . . . two of which you will never wear.
·         You recognize 
that “Old” is good in some things:  Old Songs, Old movies, and best 
of all, OLD FRIENDS!
It's Not What You Gather, 
But What You Scatter
 That Tells 
What Kind Of Life 
You Have Lived.!!!

YUP, I'm getting old. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is very special Grandma. It deserves a frame. For her age, she is good. She has an eye for perspective and detail. I hope she gets into the school. I wish we had those schools in my area when I was that age. I would have certainly tried to get in. ** I can identify with that list for old folks. Hubby has that 'pre-sleep' down to a science. And I hate it that all my grandchildren whisper, except for the 2 youngest, and they're too loud. hahaha
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful day. ♥
Hi Linda! Sorry to be late getting to the computer today! A drawing to frame, for sure! Please keep us posted about how the interview went and if she gets into the arts school. We are fortunate to have school for the arts here, too. Maxine is right about cats!! I know I'm getting older! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful drawing! She is so talented!
