About gDonna
The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.

Harry S Truman was president when I was born and world war II had ended. I grew up in a time when lunch was put in a brown paper bag and a sandwich was wrapped with wax paper. There was no such thing as pantyhose, we wore stockings that attached to the rubbery clippy things that attached to the girdle. Convenience stores were not common and when we took a trip we packed a picnic basket because many places did not have fast food. Highways had places to pull over and stop, some with picnic tables.

Thank you for your posts and the WHOLE blog! Someone on Reddit suggested your site. I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing. I appreciate knowledge about simple, old fashioned living. Thank you again.

Donna, thank you again for another encouraging and inspiring post. I've read it several times and have bookmarked it, as well. I've stepped over that imaginary line as you suggested and am determined to make the most of my life in the time that I have left. Life is far too short to waste another moment focusing on past failures, or living with unforgiveness and regret.

Thank you Gwen and Marsha for your lovely comments and for being part of this new comment section. I read every email because it comes directly to me when the form is sent. Once I have read it I click a button and it is posted. So if there is a delay I might be in the garden or cooking a meal or if it is nighttime and I am sleeping I will see it the following day. I am happy we have this new comment section. :)

Thank you, Grandma Donna…though I know these things, it can be hard to stay focused when there’s nobody behind to rally us on. God used you today to rally us, to be our coach and cheerleader in staying true to the path of wise and debt free living.
Bless you, from one grandma to another. ????

Hi Jennifer, I try to keep things real here on my blog, some things are tough to do and to this day I have never found a magic button. :) Yes, I am a Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
