I am thankful that we were able to get together with our three Daughters and tere families despite freezing temperatures and blowing snow.

We had pancakes, eggs and sausages breakfast. Then we opened gifts and took pictures of the group.  Everyone was able to get home and I took an afternoon nap.

I am great full that our family is able to help our oldest daughter make one of her clients family Christmas extra special. She works with foster children at Dane County Social Services. 

We got a list of things that they could use and our family is able to come up with all the items they asked for.

She is on the way to pick up the items Mary and I have.

I'm great full for another day to be out and about before the stormy weather coming from the West Coast gets here. Time to get to the store for a few things.

I'm grateful for the 28 beautiful years of marriage that I had with Dan. He was a wonderful man. I know a lot of people don't get that. He was amazing.

Top of the morning everyone. I'm great full today for the new people that have joined us on the Front Porch. You have all added new life here.

I joined here in January 2009 and have seen many changes to these AARP groups. I'm so glad we have taken politics out of the boards and maintained a user friendly Front Porch for all of us to enjoy.

May you all have a blessed day.

I was just thinking what a beautiful way to have your morning coffee and greet the day. I'm thankful that you sent it so we all could appreciate it.

3 comments 👉(11/28/22) I have lots today! First, my refrigerator and cabinets are FULL after my trip to Walmart at 8am EST  this morning. Thought I was going to "die" when my 6am alarm went off. I am GRATEFUL Walmart was "empty" and all the items I needed were on shelves. I am GRATEFUL no one ran me off the hill and allowed me and the other Old Lady (my 2006 Hyundai Elantra) to ENJOY the mountain view. Luv my mountains except when it snows or ices over. 😱Today was "perfect"... Now YOUR turn to share with us.... Thanks, Nicole

I'm hoping that our faithful members would introduce yourselves to the New people that have stopped by and posted here.

It would be nice if you would comment on what part of the country you are from. What some of your interests are. How long you have been a member of the Front Porch. 

 

I'm Dave and joined AARP and the Front Porch in January 2009. I posted on some other groups but lost interests in the political groups. Our Song group died. There are some which I am the only contributor to but would be happy to others posting.

I live in South Central Wisconsin and my wife and I have lived in a large retirement center with progressive care for 2 1/2 years! We have a dinning center the provide 3 meals a day.

 

We asked that you refrain from political and religious posts

(1 comment ) Hi @DaveMcK , I think with AARP shutting down their Political Forum, you lost your folks. I see they are geared to Awards/Games and lol, at certain times of the day we are bombarded with complaints from those forums. I often wonder where is the money coming from for these Gift cards? Would be nice if AARP would help out with the Medicare and Social Security Crisis. At age 64, I am concerned. Nicole 🙂

@Anonymous

I tried to be active in a couple of the political groups but gave up! At best their were only 4 or 5 members that understood the rules of debate. I posted them a couple times but it remained a group of old men calling each other names.

There was a lot of false comments about the different political parties and politicians.

In other words there was nothing lost when they where closed down.

Actually there were only couple of political group members that posted on different Front Porch topics.
