Beautiful. This subject is on my mind as my proud grandparents are now becoming frail.

Beautiful flowers! This is so refreshing to see, Deb.. :)

They are very cute

Glad to hear that Zach is enjoying his SKLZ Hit-A-Way. Our grandson sure enjoys his.

This brought back so many memories of Mom's last years and my growing realization that she was becoming dependent -- she who had prided herself so long on being independent. Only now, at almost 70, am I beginning to understand how vulnerable she felt living alone those last 17 years after Dad passed on. Especially since we live on acreage, I realize how it would be if I fell and no one found me for hours or even days. For those of us who have no surviving children, we have to consider other solutions. We leave ourselves in the hands of God, and trust then the time comes, He will take care of us.

@Holistic_Health It depends. Generally, in its public recommendations and discussions, Google recommends using unique, high quality content each time you produce something. So, you would not be reusing previously published content for your link wheels. Google's explanation is that they penalize duplicate content, though some self-proclaimed search engine experts disagree and say duplicate content is fine.

All that said, the reason behind doing link wheels is to get more links pointing back at your website. If you write natural, high quality, and unique content on a consistent basis, you will not need to do link wheels as often, because more people will be linking to your website - they literally do the work for you.

I never thought of having a tweetup. I don't think I have anyone on twitter that is from my local area. It's a great concept though.

Michey, i'll send you a screen shot through FB, since I don't know how to do it in a message. When I click on mail as you have instructed below, I get my sbcglobal email account. When I try to add a gmail email address, it says I cannot have a gmail address associated with the account. Then it directs me to a form that instructs me to add a gmail address which would become my primary address, but it won't let me choose the gmail address I already have because, of course, it's not available, since I'm already using it. Kind of a vicious circle. I'll send you a FB message.

Usually when you type google.com on your browser you get a screen which has a horizontal menu in top. Find gmail and click on it this must send you to your Google email account... if you have many Google accounts it will probably prompt you to sign in first.
Do this and see what you get, which account you get.

Thanks for the invitation. I signed up, but I have a unique problem that is not addressed in the google help pages. When I signed up for my gmail account, it wasn't connected to any other google account. I'm not sure why. I have no idea how to sign into it, because the address associated with everything else on my google account is different, so I can't get to my gmail by signing into that account on the web. My MAC mail program enables me to get and send mail with that account, but I have no idea how to do it on the web. It keeps wanting me start over and then tells me my gmail address isn't available (Duh, I knew that. What I don't know is how to sign into the account on the Internet.) I don't mind switching my primary address to the google account to the gmail account, but, again, it wants me to pick a new gmail address instead of letting me plug in the one I'm using. Any idea on how to get around that? Am I missing something?

I love your 40th birthday flamingo story! I think I'd like your friends :-) The DevilMingos caught my eye here.

Barb, there is a way to take from FB, give me little time to find it, I don't remember in top of my head where I find that... I'll get it again... and let you know...

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. Spook, I so agree with you. I hate getting older so quickly...far too quickly...I am not ready...but here it is anyway! LOL Thank you so much for sharing and for the lovely compliment! :)

Apologies for the spelling were=where.

Quite simply, beautiful. I often think Jeanie we have to put our petty jealousies behind us and give credit were credit is due. It works both ways in nearly every circumstance I can think of. I honestly never wanted to be old, but, now it is catching up with me. Very little I can do about that, except perchance, to tell some stories about how things were when I was young. And also to stand up for what I believe in whether rightly or wrongly and to have the assurance that I'm not the only one who thinks like this? In other words, to have a friend, first you must be a friend. Best Wizz I've seen yet.
