That’s her in the avatar.

Such a cute fluffy head.

Me too - I’m too slow to catch a cold most of the time

Our grandson Charlie. He'll be 9 months in November. Very fortunate that he lives with us. Our daughter is a single mom so we moved her back home to help her out and let her get a fresh start. So I'm a stay at home grandma for the time being. I watch Charlie when our daughter works and on my 'off' days I'm in the next town over checking on our 24 year old son. He went into cardiac arrest June of this year and has had a long road of recovery so I like to make sure he's doing ok

Oh mercy, Laurie, I am sorry to hear about your son’s health, but I’m thankful he’s doing better. I will keep him in my prayers. Worrying about our children takes a lot out of us and unfortunately I share that with you.

However, on a much brighter note, you have the most adorable “lil farmer” ever, and I absolutely love the name Charlie. Too, too cute. He’s precious.

Now those I can still catch, quite easily

I remember the "olden days" when you had a different name...something Ken?

Wasn’t it Pork Pie Ken? That seems to be what I remember, but I’m getting older now and don’t remember like I used to so I could be wrong.

My user name is my cranes name.
Here is "The Gray Phantom" or Phantom for short.

Congratulations!! I just love being a grandma so much!
Dr's can't explain why he went into cardiac arrest, it's so frustrating. They put him into a hypothermic coma and then slowly warmed his body back up and we had to wait.... wait to see if he woke up.... wait to see if he didn't. But I'm very pleased to say he's doing great! He spent a month in grand rapids at Mary free bed, they specialize in head/ brain injuries and have a great recovery and rehab program. He had to learn to walk again, talk again.... he moves a little slower than he used to and his peripheral vision isn't great but he's doing wonderful!

I have been through similar with a grandchild, my only granddaughter, Mallorie. The waiting, the constant changes, did I say the waiting? It’s all such an enormous, emotional rollercoaster. One week feels more like one month. Time stands still. She is now my little, heavenly angel. One thing I've noticed, in the end we come out a little stronger, with scars, but a little stronger.

I'm sorry to hear about your granddaughter
The waiting is awful, pure torture. I think the thing that bothered me most was that I couldn't fix it.
We all come out stronger for sure, and we remember to stop and smell the roses because they may not be there tomorrow

Your name always reminds me of my friends bowling team. A guy, his wife and another guy.
Their team was called 4 balls and a split.
