Everyone has a story to tell and mine is no different then yours. Through my columns that I generously contribute at no cost other then the time that it takes to write; I share my love of writing about my life so that others can read and relate. My therapy is through my thoughts and writings, which is cheaper then seeking a professional therapist, and besides it may just keep me out of the loony bin I write about my loves, my husband and our clan and those that have touched my life in many ways. I share events which are good and bad and even non-life altering life happenings. My life is a simple one and that is how I like it. I claim to be pretty much a "Plain Jane" of sorts and have no real outstanding talents. I was raised by my parents to be respectful and courteous, and to fear the twig that Mom would shake in front of me...it's amazing the power that insignificant piece of nature would hold. Even to this day I won't sass her. I had pretty much raised four girls not knowing much of anything about raising girls other then I was their age once and I didn't want them to experience some of what I had, be it simple pranks or things that to this day remain locked away inside my aging mind. In certain instances it's alright not to have the best memory. And believe you me I use that excuse quite often I love sharing stories of child rearing and of course the many additions of grandchildren that at the rate that they are coming I will not run out of topics to discuss for quite some time Just as each of my children and my husband's children are unique and individual, so are their children. And what Grandparent doesn't like to share stories of their grandchildren? Sit back and enjoy, let me bring back memories and entertain...this is "Life According to Me"

My life is so much more fun with the edition of each and every grandchild. Time spent with them is priceless. It doenst matter what we are doing, I enjoy our time together. Each grandchild has a different personality, I will try to capture each and every one of them. This is Hayden's story
