[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1170308, member: 22323"] I thank you both for your kind words. Don't think I haven't thought about those blue laws. I believe our country would be better today if we still had them. My message to all of you is to enjoy life while you can. I looked forward to retirement even though I loved teaching and never thought of retiring until I reached my 37 th year. I still taught two more years and went back and taught at risk students for a half day for three years. Before I finished my last year, my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He went through chemo and then surgery in Atlanta. Thank God he is cancer free today. As soon as he got better, I had my mother to care for, until April 2013 when we had to put her in assisted living. I know how expensive it is to eat out and I can understand how you feel, especially with large families. I see families of six and more coming in to eat every Sunday and wonder how they can afford it. We Americans have been so blessed and have taken it for granted. All I see ahead for us is fear of another terrorist attack in our country. With a daughter and son-inlaw in New York City, you can imagine my fear. This is all another story, but yet another reason to live each day to its fullest and never worry about what you spend if it makes you and someone else happy. I will get off my soapbox today. Apologize for running on. I tried to teach my third graders life lessons along with their basic courses. I was very surprised in 2013,when one of those third graders named me her Star Teacher because of those life lessons that had helped her so much. We never know how what we say and do influences that other person. So my message again to each of you is to enjoy life while you can,and try not to let the cost worry you as long as you live within your means. [/QUOTE]
