The Hands of A Grateful Nation Comfort Our Soldiers!

I was reading one of the great blogs I follow when I followed a link on her page http://modafabrics.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-one-star.html (I'm not very good at putting things like this in my blog). I am going to do this. Several of my family member were in the armed forces and I am proud of them, our Nation and all of our soldiers. I'll try to put up a picture of my star. I hope you'll join this wonderful project.

Monday, Monday

Work, work, work...

I really do love my job. It's interesting, the people are fun, it's varied enough to keep me from being bored out of my mind. But it is work. I work to live not live to work.

Had dinner with my daughter and her live in boyfriend last night. Do people even use that term anymore. I've been out of the loop so long I haven't a clue. It's funny because when Martin asked for my hand in marriage my dad's first words were, "You can't bring her back." Then he said, "I'll give you money if you'll elope." To which my mother replied, "Why don't the two of you just live together." I could not believe it...I was more conservative than my parents...who can say that? It's not strange in my family. I've always been more conservative than EVERYONE in my family and I like it that way. It's funny though because my kids are more like my parents and brothers and sisters. Go figure! The dinner was very nice and it was nice to visit with them.

Mom

Well...its been some time since I posted. And that's because my Mom is gone! She passed away March 5, 2008 and it was pretty rough. It only lasted 15 minutes and if I hadn't had my sister, brother and my wonderful hubby I don't think I could have made it through that 15 minutes. But I wasn't there for myself. I was there because I loved my mother. I'm happy she's not in pain anymore and so this blog won't be about her struggle anymore. It'll be about life and happy stuff. Stuff I like and stuff that makes me happy! Because afterall...life is what we make of it.
