A Lesson on Aging
I’m so happy to be back in the mountains. I love the weather, the trees, the birds, the rushing creek, the flowering bushes. The beauty.

Many thanks for your kind words and warm blessing. Peace, Jeanie
Beautiful, Jean, and I love the colorful family history and tribute to Italian men. I wonder how it feels to lose someone so loved at 103. My mother-in-law will be 99 this winter, and she’s going strong in so many ways, but life becomes sadder and more limited for her. She’s a little fonder of me because I published a book with her son’s photo on the cover. 😉
I’m laughing at your last comment!! I understand it, but since my husband’s mother was Scotch/Irish, I’m not personally familiar with it! Losing Dad at 103 feels bittersweet to me. He was loved, had a full life, and was doted on by women who saw it as their life’s purpose to dote on him. What more would most men want?
