Welcome! We are a Christian family who cares for elderly individuals in our home. There are so many quotes, stories, and photos that we wanted to share with our precious "Golden Girls'" families, which they could view quicker and could be updated easier on this blog than we would ever have time (and memory!) to share with them personally. We also thought others might enjoy reading and viewing along with the families on this great adventure of their loved ones' golden sunset years. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit with us and "The Grandmas"!

Quoted Truths


Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age; and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
                                                     ~ Leonardo da  Vinci                                  
         
Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.
                                                                                                   
                                                      ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

In old age we are like a batch of letters that someone has sent. We are no longer in the passing, we have arrived.
                                                                        ~ Knut Hamsun

The best class in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
                                                                        ~ Andy Rooney

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

                                                         ~ Mark Twain

I hopped into this linky (The Proverbs 31 Work at Home Woman) out of necessity and I have been inspired. I have to say that what you are doing to earn money at home is intriguing. I think I'll be discussing this with my husband. He is a permanently disabled stroke survivor who gets to work a few hours each week at Target. I am also a stroke survivor and recently unemployed. My small at home business is not taking off well enough to provide the barest necessities.

What you're doing is commendable, inspiring and intriguing. I'll be praying about this.
