The secret is to play the game around people that can't help but correct others when they're wrong. It drives them crazy trying to correct you, and you can rack up a lot of points that way.

My Hubby & I are at that age where we've started caring for our parents instead of the other way around. I have a lovely summer diversion for you (and your Mom, who sounds like a funny gal): Looking for some "creative help," if you've got a second.

Hubs will have to talk with his parents. I think that would be just too weird coming from me. Good to hear the peeps are still so sharp. Hope you're getting some rest too. Take care of yourself.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that you are in my prayers. Getting older really isn't for the faint at heart, but what a blessing that you are able to spend this time with both of your parents. --bru I realize you don’t know me, but I stumbled upon your blog a couple of months or so ago, and returned because you made me laugh out loud, just like my baby brother.
