I guess I'd better introduce you to my family, so you'll know who you're dealing with here. My son asked me not to use names, to protect the innocent, so I'll give the kids an alias unless he changes his mind.
Me..You can call me Cyndilu. I'm 55, short, fat, and silver-haired, (mostly). I have a back injury and neuropathy which makes it necessary for me to use a powerchair to get around outside my apartment. I'm a Texan living in Southern California. No matter where I live, I will always be a Texan.
Dave is my boyfriend. We met online in 1999 in a Yahoo Cat Chat room. When my 30+ year marriage went South in 2002, we decided to meet face to face. I moved to California to live with him in 2003 and we;ve been together ever since. We live in a senior apartment complex in Southern California. I usually refer to it as Golden Acres, or Limpdik Park, depending on my mood. Dave is disabled and also uses a powerchair to get around. Sometimes we have races down the hall.
Son#1 lives in the Pacific Northwest and is the father of my only grandchildren. He is tall and handsome and a wonderful husband and father.
DIL (daughter in law) is married to Son #1 and is the best wife and mother I could ever hope for my child. She is a nurse. Beauty AND brains...can't beat that.
GS#1 is Grandson #1. He is handsome and smart and charming and polite and perfect in every way. He's going to be something special in this world someday.
GS#2 is Grandson #2. He is 14 months old and is a little handful, according to his father. Also gorgeous and brilliant and perfect in every way.
Son #2 lives back in Texas. He is so handsome and charming. And a brilliant musician. Plays guitar and drums. He is single at the moment, but he lives with a sweet girl who may become DIL#2 in the near future.
Toby and Mitzi are our two cats. Toby is a fawn tabby who is like a 14 year old boy...all legs and attitude. Loves to argue with Dave. Mitzi is a dainty little tuxedo. She is Daddy's girl and loves to snuggle on him and knitknit in his beard. Dave has trained them both to do tricks. Toby will shake hands and Mitzi will jump through a hoop. You can see them both on YouTube.

That's us. Gotta love 'em.
There is no rhyme or reason to this, just whatever happens to cross my mind.
