Also, it’s nice to know that you do casual visits to your grandma at the nursing home. I’m sure she loves every single one of those visits. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://lansdale-819.comfortkeepers.com/" rel="nofollow">Joel Pratt @ Comfort Keepers</a>Joel Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754903972323841744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300356705766777733.post-47058169360998247242015-04-24T03:58:53.113-04:002015-04-24T03:58:53.113-04:00Fantastic blog you got here,I enjoyed reading some...Fantastic blog you got here,I enjoyed reading some of your posts.<br /><a href="http://www.maxfitness.co.in/teachers/" rel="nofollow">Fitness gym in Mohali</a><br /><a href="http://www.maxfitness.co.in/classes/" rel="nofollow">Aerobics Classes in Mohali</a><br /><a href="http://www.maxfitness.co.in/the-club/" rel="nofollow">Best Fitness club and Lesmills club in Chandigarh</a><br /><a href="http://www.maxfitness.co.in/personal-training/" rel="nofollow">Best gyms Trainers in Mohali</a><br /><a href="http://www.maxfitness.co.in/" rel="nofollow">Best Top ten gyms in Mohali</a><br /><a href="http://www.maxfitness.co.in/classes/" rel="nofollow">Yoga Classes in Mohali</a>Manjot kaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214775423953680592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300356705766777733.post-32798622669946452172014-08-29T05:37:21.569-04:002014-08-29T05:37:21.569-04:00So glad to be of assistance in adding to your list...So glad to be of assistance in adding to your list of what i did today! :)<br />rockymountainmiamiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327684154207418516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300356705766777733.post-79563033660595482992014-08-28T17:36:59.323-04:002014-08-28T17:36:59.323-04:00Like you , I have no job and happily do who knows ...Like you , I have no job and happily do who knows what all day long.

She just loves to talk about herself and the people around her. But then what else does she have to talk about. She does not do computers and does not want to read. She still has a sense of humor and is often very funny and entertaining. <br />I am already making a list of my do's and don't do when I get her age. I welcome this time with my mother as another learning experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921998924769623969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300356705766777733.post-68265396714301369592014-08-17T09:06:01.799-04:002014-08-17T09:06:01.799-04:00Hi Dave -- thank-you for the thoughtful comment.

I can talk, blog, text, sent photos while sitting on the elliptical at the gym. As to Bob, he said that he appreciated the photo of the guy in pink texts and was honored to have been featured in this post. rockymountainmiamiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327684154207418516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300356705766777733.post-48009524620868295202014-08-16T16:01:22.460-04:002014-08-16T16:01:22.460-04:00I think you sell yourself short on the value you b...I think you sell yourself short on the value you bring to those interactions.<br /><br />Although many people find their own lives fascinating to talk about, without the quality of human connection, conversation about those lives is pretty useless.<br /><br />When I have my (what I try to make) weekly chats with my Mom (now 87), her conversation often resembles your description of your grandmother. In fact, she frequently apologizes for the mundane content of her stories.<br /><br />But because we maintain the regular connection, we frequently talk about things much deeper. For example, she's been very honest about her experience with my Dad's death, my brother's approaching death from cancer, and her own sense of mortality. I think roses like that only bloom in a good base of otherwise bullsh!t conversation.<br /><br />When you text Bob a photo of a guy in hot pink shorts, Bob knows that you thought of him when you had to share it with someone. That's richer than most stories anyone could tell about what happened at a "real job".<br />davehttp://dawnanddave.comnoreply@blogger.com
