Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog! Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!! Check out my Lens on Squidoo and my son's blog that sneaker wearing entrepreneurial cartoonist internet guy Read up on some of my political views on my Soap Box Blog "The Screened Porch" See the great BLOGS I follow and AWARDS I have gotten

Friday, April 24, 2009Gods Little Favors I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.

Funny, but not really!
Haha. That's right. And when you have a licence - the world is ok.
(glad you liked your poem)
Hahaha
When my great grandfather had gotten into his late 70s, he was still driving, but shouldn't have been. He'd drive home from his restaurant at night on route 28 in Harwich.
At 5 mph.
He'd have a line of cars behind him blasting their horns. Finally a cop would pull him over. But after he pulled over he'd forget why, and just as the cop was getting out of the car he'd take off again...
And that's why we all need to get rich soon. So we can have a chauffeur drive us around in a Bentley everywhere when we get old. I've already named my future chauffeur, Clarence. And he's handsome.
And that's sooo funny about Joe's great grandfather. Comical.
I keep telling my 83 year old mom, who still drives locally (but probably shouldn't)that if she figures out how much she is spending on insurance, gas and maintenance on the car, she could use a taxi locally 20 times a month instead. I'm hoping she'll soon see the light. Losing your licence doesn't have to mean losing your independence.
How funny~
However, I ran an Assisted Living and I had to report a few of the Residents so that they would get tested and get their driver's license taken away...they still wanted to drive and were too unsafe to do so!
