Ups and downs, sounds like. I think I found my friend Lorna in Wonderland through your blog way back when. All is well in my world--turned 76 and still working 3 days a week.

Did you ever see "Grandma's Bottle ...Kay,<br /><br />Did you ever see "Grandma's Bottle Village: The Art of Tressa Prisbrey"? Here's the link, http://folkstreams.net/film,102 and I believe you will discover a soul-sister. Been sharing this for years with other old ladies & gents.<br /><br />Also, been thinking that there's real need for people like you to be counselors (think the govt. uses that term) naomi dagen bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636592739857173279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-5461061284353576702013-08-19T15:30:11.038-04:002013-08-19T15:30:11.038-04:00LOL We went to visit Rob and we had to postpone a...LOL We went to visit Rob and we had to postpone as he couldn't get the part he needed but he can have it on Wednesday. He says the price is a rip off but my take is that it's cheaper than a new car. I'm just trying to keep her alive until I'm ready to hang up my keys! I've been lucky in that I've had good, reliable mechanics.

My mechanic (aka my husband) always did our car repairs, but our newer Camry is not something he can deal with if anything serious is going on with it.

The fun part is running into my fellow customers from the old days. I'm not the only one who re-discovered him. <br /><br />And what's even better, he doesn't soak you for your last nickel.
