turnout for people 70-79 is double that of 17-24.

So much for inspiring young people to vote, huh?

I remember my world often was dependent on the weather. Only someone who has lived there can possibly understand.

I'm a grandmother of twins! What a unique experience it has been. Triplets must be a real trip!

The triplets are much easier now that they're 19 and in college -- currently studying online. My other niece has twins. Both are very unique experiences.

Okay, that must be a lot easier. The boys are only five years old, so I have some really good years ahead to look forward to.

Twins in the family too? Wow!

Their colleges moved to online classes because of coronavirus.

The twins are girls and now 9. They're easier than 5-year-olds as well.

I love the early years. Everything is so fresh and original. I am constantly fascinated by them. I know its a cliche, but it really is nice to be able to just enjoy them when you're not responsible for raising them. Fortunately, they seem to really love spending time with me and I know that won't last forever!

But we have the twins and they have a 2 1/2-year-old sister. She can keep us amused for hours.
