"From Spring Chicken to Tough Old Bird"

Isabel digs out her AlphaSmart Laptop Word Processor several times a week to record more stories of times past and present.

Mum is not much of a sleeper and while her CD player runs continuously all night, her mind cycles through the years as she remembers family events, students, friends, and travel.

In the morning, a nurse pulls out her word processor once again, and the stories get recorded.

The inspiration for the Subject line of this posting comes from a cartoon that Mum requested be placed on her bulletin board this fall. "Maxine" looks up from her computer and announces "I am writing my memoirs! From Spring Chicken to Tough Old Bird!"

The pronouncement fits for someone else we know!
