Your Miss Sally is a gem! You would miss her if you didn't have her in your life now. Some people just grow on you, and you never realize the wisdom and caring you get from them, until later. Glad you are realizing her importance now and not later. The joy of it all and the mystery to the wonder of the moment is precious. =^..^=

Miss Sally does sound like a neat lady in so many ways, but I would have a hard time with the 'walking right in' thing. I like to be able to do what I want behind closed doors that stay that way until I open them! Kinda hard with kids in the house, tho'.

Guess that is the difference in your part of the country. Can't imagine anyone in my town just walking in...well...ok...I can imagine it but they would be walking out with some of our possessions most likely! It does sound like Miss Sally is quite the lady and probably is in your life for a very special reason.

I am proud of you for sticking to your WW plan. I know I wouldn't have had the will power to not eat the cookies.

What a cute story. I think it's lovely that your boys like her so much, and that she went out of her way to come to some of OS's baseball games. Does she have grandchildren of her own? My daughter has pseudo-grandparents at almost every home in my mother's neighborhood. Miss Jewel and Mr. Bill always stop by to give her hugs and presents when she's up at mom's. We actually have a Miss Sally of our own, who let's Hailey come over to play with her dogs.--The world needs more sweet people like her. Although I think I would draw the line at knocking and then walking in.

Your Miss Sally is a treasure. She may be a pest some of the time, but with the world as it is, someday the Miss Sally's of this world will be only a distant memory. Obviously she's added a demention in the lives of your children -- and they know it too. By the way, I'll be thinking about your story all day and will from now on, especially whenever I meet little children. I'm not sixty or retired, but at 50, I am well on my way. Megan
