I have to say, it is kind of a drag in someway's when my nieces are here, and I don't mean that quite as mean as it might sound, but everyone knows I am not a kid person, and I just don't "do" children.

Seems like people are having a hard tiome lately. I hope these make you appreciate your relative youth. Hope you enjoy...lol An elderly couple were on a cruise and it was really stormy.
