Have you spent much time around old people?  I absolutely love being with the elderly.  They have so much wisdom and insights into this world of ours.  I most enjoy being with those with a great sense of humor.  I think I inherited my love of laughter from my mom.  She is 84 years old, and is in relatively good shape.  I talk to her every day on the phone, and we usually spend most of the conversation laughing about one thing or another.  I remember my grandmother and her sisters giving my great-grandmother, Nana, a yearly birthday party starting at her 80th.  Every year, I would ask why, and every year I got the same reply.  “Well Honey, you never know when it will be her last.”  She lived to be 96 years old.  Nana had such interesting stories to tell.  Her real name was Mable, and she wasn’t thrilled when I named my Basset Hound puppy Mable.  She also took advantage of her age.  She was stubborn and pretty much got her way almost all of the time.
