Bridal Shower

On Sunday, my mother, the mother-in-law, my children and I went to a bridal shower.  The old lady was in her element: people made a fuss, she was a star because she had a history with 3 marriages; and no one would believe she got divorced 5 years ago.  Plus, while she didn't eat the lunch, she got right in there with the desserts; sometimes, I feel people don't believe me about the amount she eats, then they see her eat and change their minds.  My friend's grandmother lives with her parents, she's only 96, and she, too, eats sugar like it is going out of style.  I begin to think a healthy heart is maintained in old age by an ever increasing amount of sugar.
