Random thoughts about old women

Someone emailed this to me and I loved it so much I thought I would share it.

1. Old women attend a lot of funerals. Statistically, women out live men.

2. Most old women are grandmothers. They have time to build Lego castles and help dress Barbie in her skinny jeans. They are a wealth of information, and can discuss anything with a kid from grasshoppers to why 13-year old girls act the way they do, and why boys can be such dorks on occasion.

3. Just from experience, old women can usually put a decent meal on the table. They can make dinner out of nothing - give them a couple of eggs and a dib and dab of this and that, and they can fix a meal.

4. Old women really appreciate their modern conveniences because they remember what it was like to do laundry on a wringer washing machine and wash dishes by hand after a Thanksgiving dinner for 20.

5. They have learned the virtue of patience. Among other things, they have the patience to untie knots with ease - it doesn't matter if it is a rope, fishing line, but especially a kindergartner's shoe lace.

6. Today's old women are with it. They email, shop online, and some even blog! They own iPods, iPhones, and Kindles. They text and twitter and are on face book.

7. Old women can run a power saw to miter a corner on molding; or run a sewing machine to mend socks or a hole in a pair of jeans. And they practically can do it all at once - the original multi-taskers.

8. Old women walk to the gym, drive to church, fly to Europe, and cruise to Alaska.
9. Old women are smart. I bet there is even one out there that understands the proposed health care plan.

10. Old women together can laugh louder and have so much fun around a table with a cup of coffee and some chocolate.

12. Old women are having a great time out in the world today!!

I'M ALL GROWN UP; AND PROUD, HAPPY, AND CONTENT TO BE AN OLD WOMAN.
