My daughter makes me laugh out loud!

I just read my oldest daughter's blog. She makes even the mundane funny! I read her take on country music and thought "she should make a living at this". Of course, I have told her this for years. And the beet salad, what a hoot! She forgets she ate this when but a "Tot". She and her sister will both deny, but I WAS THERE!
Holidays are so full & lonely for me, I am here, wish I were there, or there, or there but enjoying being here. Sort of weird huh?

My girls....

I truly do have a Snow White & Rose Red, so different and so much the same. Both are wonderful people with big hearts and all the forgiveness they can hold. One sees all the good in people and one wonders if there is good in anyone. I am a Yin-yang person myself, so I am the middle ground. I wonder some times how these great people came from me, then I remember the love they were made from and say "Thank you, God"

I am almost there!

Today will be soooo slowwww, I will not sleep tonight, I guess that is part of traveling. I wish Sharon could go with me. I miss her.

Two more days!

I am really counting down now!
I got a bonus for doing some extra work, so vacay here I come!

It is my birthday today!

Of course, I woke up feeling under the weather and haven't improved much. My work group to me to lunch. I enjoy these women and men so much. Florida is muggy today. I will be in Kansas this time next week.

Happy Birthday to ME!

My birthday is tomorrow and wow, I will be 61 yrs old. I have a hard time wrapping my head around that number. My brain still feels young, but the body likes to remind me of all the good times I have had in the past. And I have had a load of good times! My work group is taking me to lunch tomorrow. I think that is so good of them to make a fuss. This is one holiday my mom made especially special for us. I still get that " It's my Birthday, oh, It's my Birthday" feeling.

Stop the Bleeding Please!

I know for most folks my age, the 401K is a buffer against poverty when you are old. My acct. has taken such a hit the last few days, I will work until I am 80 yrs old! I am usually a calm, wait & see person, but even I moved my money to a fixed acct. Obama or McCain, Obama or McCain, oh my, oh gee, who will be president?! I am not McCain's "FRIEND" as he so frequently refers to the audience he has never met, doesn't care about now nor ever care about in the future. Obama is such an orator, I just hope he has more than that going for him, because I believe he will be our next president. Maybe he will go in for a refresher course in Economics before he takes office!

I am so excited!

I get to go to my baby daughter's home in 22 days, and yes, I am counting the days. I feel so loved there. Sometimes when I am lonely here, I look at all my children's pictures and try to remember what was happening and our state of mind when we took them. Most pictures I have reflect happy, healthy, loving people. I have had a good life!

My daughter said I MUST!

Here I am again...my littlest daughter said that this will keep her from being lonely..
I have been invited to my oldest daughter's home this weekend but feel she needs a vacation from it all. I offered all paid trip to my house but she will not let me just be a MOM, she wouldn't be beholden of nothing..just come unlax at my house! Amy is coming Saturday and I thought she would really enjoy that, you know just the girls.
