I am a 77 year old retired mental health worker still doing work on a volunteer basis. I am married to Ted Sherarts.
When I was 10 years old I received a camera for my birthday.

I have Flickr as my best tranquilizer for the day. Thanks all

    "LaVona
    You have put the faith in other peoples back in me. After decades of being treated like a second or third class person, knowing LaVona has put me back to where I used to be as a child. Just another person among many people, A PERSON!, that is how LaVona treats people show knows. She has even defended me, although we have never met in person. Thank you LaVona. I think of my mom when I think of you."

    "LaVona is one cool mama.
    Ted is one cool papa.
    Follow the two of them and you peak into an amazing relationship which is recorded here on an almost daily basis.
    I love them both, even though I've never met them.
    One day I will surprise them."

    "Dear Gramma Seim,

    I hate your stinkin' guts. You make me vomit. You're scuu-um between my toes.

    Love,
    Honna

    Actually, no, but she will understand that. I feel truely blessed to have LaVona as a grandmother. I have learned many useful things from listening to her little stories she always tells me. I am thankful for everything she has ever done for me and I will continue to carry all of the things she has taught me close to my heart and in my brain. Thanks Gramma!"

    "I am very fortunate to know LaVona through being a Flickr contact. LaVona is a very kind and warm person who has shown true acceptance of alternate and diverse lifestyles/cultures whilst living within a community that appears to be self-centred and almost hostile to any people that dont quite conform to 'normality'.
    She has been very kind in extending the hand of friendship across the world towards me, showing no bigotry, casting no ridicule, and for this I am thankful and honoured in having her for my cyber friend.
    Long Live Flickr and the powers it has to unite people in friendship.
    Mandy x"
