The French Connection (Issue 5)

By Freedom Lady | January 11, 2008

France and the French people have always held a certain fascination for me. They always look so good. Maybe it’s because of their attention to fashion and wine drinking habits, or language that adds to their charm. Whatever the reasons, they always seem so trim and well dressed, and I think of them as being the most beautiful people. Perhaps some of my fascination goes back to the old movies starring Charles Boyer, and his sexy charm.
 
I’m glad the newly-elected head of their government is friendly toward the United States because the last President of France did not like us. That always bothered me because I have always felt fondly toward Lafayette, who came over here and did so much to help George Washington win the Revolutionary War against England.

Use Of Psychology By A 3-Year-Old (Issue 4)

By Freedom Lady | January 5, 2008

For anyone following my stories, you will discover I write about children in general from time to time, and my grandchildren in particular. I have a lot of interest in a variety of subjects, not the least of which is children.
 
These past two years I have become quite interested in foster children—the government-subsidized program for their care, foster parents, the involvement of courts and police in the rescue of abused children, in addition to the many stories about how some parents treat their children.
 
Fortunately, mine is a situation whereby my grandchildren are raised in a very loving, caring home and atmosphere, and I can participate in that rearing from time to time when I’m so privileged to have them for a visit.
 
At this particular time, the most challenging grandchild is the one I call Prince William, who’s not yet 3 years old.

What’s An Octogenarian? (Issue 2)

By Freedom Lady | January 3, 2008

When my son suggested creating a blogging site called “octogenarian,” I was not familiar with “blogging” and unsure what the term octogenarian meant. If someone had asked me, I probably would have said it’s someone born in October, as opposed to a person in his or her eighties or an otherwise “old” person.
 
I had 4 grandparents who lived well past 80 years old and my mother in her nineties, but never heard them referred to as Octogenarians. And if I had called them that, they probably would think that’s cause to have my mouth washed out.
