Hi. For those of you who follow my shots (and so much appreciated, especially lately when I haven't been as able to get to the computer) I'm Milanie from Ozark, Arkansas, a retired elementary teacher. While this is not a totally current selfie (last fall) it hasn't stopped raining long enough to try another. My husband of 49 years died nearly 3 years ago - and 2 years ago my granddaughter and her 3 year old came to live with me when her life got turned around. It's been a change for an 81 year old to be the best play-mate 24/7 to this wonderful little guy.
a lovely shot of you Milanie, how wonderful that you are still able to handle a 3 year old full time. I had the granddaughters aged 4 and 6 on holiday here, and I was beat and dead to the world when they finally went to bed.
Milanie! What a treat to get to see a (larger) photo of you. You are one amazing gal, gettin' out there, taking pictures so faithfully AND entertaining an energetic 3 year old. That's down right impressive on its own. It's been a delight getting to see your photos and read your comments in the years since I joined this wonderful community.
Beautiful self portrait! Sounds like your granddaughter and great-grandson are very fortunate. I had to move back home for a few years with my son when he was young. It turned out to be a great time in all of our lives.
Truly lovely photo! So nice to see you "in your element", so to speak! :-) I pray you and yours are blessed with health and peace in these crazy times we are living in. Fav photo!
Glad life is treating you well
