Changing Times

It has been a long time since I have written in my blog. It seems like the right thing to do now. Beth was living with us from Mar until Aug. and is now in her own apartment. We miss being the 3 peas in a pod, however, it is the best for her and her future.

Jane and Maggie have since moved into their own apartment. Maggie now has a full time job and Jane is back in school without her braces. I am proud of all their accomplishments.

Vida and I are still walking about 2 miles if it doesn't rain. Gary's Mom moved to assisted living and Gary and family have been busy with an estate sale and the sale of the condo which just sold yesterday.

I am getting older, but still in fairly good condition. Gary reminds me that I am not so sharp any more...or maybe I never was. I am sort of in a down mood right now..not sure why...but this too shall pass.

We have a busy Oct. coming up with Grand Chapter and many other things. I am disappointed that we were not able to get seats on the bus to go to the Smokey Mts. Snooze you lose.

Today I am having coffee at Panera's with Beth and Jane. I will earnestly try to listen more and talk less today.

Until later

Monday after the storm

I deleted everything I wrote this a.m.....better write later when I feel better.   Attitude has everything to do with it. 

Later, Later,......

Jane leaves

Gary is home today and Jane and Maggie are gone.  It is a sad day, but nothing stays the same.  Jane may move into the dorm on campus.   I am wishing for this to be true..... 

I just can't think of what to say today....maybe more tomorrow.   GAry and I are going to the Mall to get me a new phone and return a sweater to V.M.  

Later,

St Patrick's Day

The sun is finally shinning and  I am waiting for the appriser to come to apprise our house.  Jane is still sleeping downstairs...I wonder if he will want to see the basement???  I have been walking, been to WW and we will go to see Dr. Mac this p.m.  The days are busy, but somehow I feel sad today.  Perhaps I feel a little insecure with Gary being gone so much........oh well...we are at a really tense time in our lives and this too shall pass.  

I wonder if he will remember that it is our 15th anniv?????  Does it really matter???  I did say all I wanted was to be healthy and happy.   

Jane thought it was funny when I told her about my trip to Wal Mart yesterday.   I am such a wimp!!!   

I better get busy and pick up before he comes....

Let go and Let God

It's been a long long time......

Hi to everyone, 

Life is different than when I last posted on this site.   We now have some additions to our family.  There have been some sacrifices, but who really needs 3 closets full of clothes????  We just want to be there for our family.  If you don't have family...who do you have????  I will keep you posted on the day to day basis.  We all eat at different times and someone is coming or going all the time.  I think everyone has adapted quite well, considering....we have been here alone for so long. 

Jane and I are going to dinner tonight and then to the movie....slumdog millionaire.  

The weather has finally liveable at about 65 deg.   Horray.  

I am still working on the class reunion and have about 7 or 8 people signed up for June.  

I better get ready to leave....later gator, 

Mom 

Is it spring yet????/

I have been sick for the last 2 weeks and I am really getting tired of this.  Right now I just want to get healthy.  It is so hard to make changes and I realize that I need to get a different Dr. and make some changes to my health care.  I will work on that today.  The clinic is soooo handy, but really not very effective.  

Gary has gone to work and all I can think about it getting out of here next winter.   This has been the worst winter that I can remember.  

The pest guy comes today, so I better at least get dressed.  I have not been outside the house in 2 weeks!!!  Tomorrow I have a dentist appt. and need to return a few things at N.Park.  Fri. I have a hair appt.   I will try to do just one thing a day so I don't overload.  Margie thinks I try to do too much (for my age).....have you seen her schedule lately?????

While in AZ I read the "the Reader" and also saw the movie.....excellent!!!   I have also read the Christmas Train, but no matter how I try....I can't seem to move with the "Shack".  It is hard for me to get into the spiritual world....it just doesn't seem real to me.   Maybe that is why I never cared much for fantasy either.  

Happy Anniversary to Margie and Scott......I wish them well and lots of prosperity.  It is their time and they deserve....

Lots of good luck in conjunction with  well educated minds.  

Love, 

Mom
