Grandma's House



Guess what we do for fun. I have to say this is what I love about going to Grandma's house. We all gather around the table and play cards. We play alot of skipbo but I really don't care what game it is! We all just sit around and talk, laugh, and have fun. You would be surprised how much talking we get done playing games. I always am! I love to go up there. I always come home feeling like I can take on the world. I guess you can say Grndma's house is my place to relax. Even when the kids are with me I know that I will be going home feeling loved, excited for whatever is next and just plain happy. Of course I don't win if my Mom plays. (very few times if ever) It seems she always wins. She sits in the perfect chair to win. Grandma was the big winner this day when we played. She just kept winning. So my advise is if you need to feel loved, or happy, or even to get energy back go see Grandma! Whoever she may be. Grandma's are funny people. Growing up we think they have no clue about the life. They are older and things have changed sooo much since they were our age. They don't understand. Let me tell you a thing I learned as I looked back on things...... Grandma's know alot more about life than we do. I am amazed at my Grandmother's life growing up. Sarah had a birthday party when she was 9 focused around when Grandma was 9. We learned of the games she used to play, the tar beaches and even what she used to sing. Sarah's favorite was the paper dolls. Grandma's paper dolls were from the newspaper. She would cut out women in ads and make dresses for them. Grandma also had a game that just needed string and a used spool of thread. You put the string thru the spool and tied ends together. You then would wind up the spool and keep it going by pulling the string out and back. I have to say Sarah still plays with the string we made that day. Of course we couldn't find wooded spools so we used buttons. Some of the kids that came to the party tell me they play with it as well. If we sit and listen we can learn alot. Yup I just came to that conclusion. I like listening. Even sitting talking to my mom, Sarah's Mermaw, I can learn alot. I have to say Sarah learns more from Mom than I do. She tells me of some of the things they talk about. I never knew some of the things she tells me. I get to learn about my Mom through my Daughter. Funny how things happen.

It's great you have such a wonderful time with your Mom and Grandma. Cherish those times and hold on to those memories. I know from experience that life changes fast and life will not wait for you to make those memories to last a life time. You are very fortunate to have some family unity left, Enjoy it!!

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

How can my heart hurt anymore? What do I have to learn to stop the heart ache?

How can we say goodbye to someone that means the world to you? How do you let them go? The pain and hurt that we feel is so unreal. Grandma left this earth November 17, 2019. 9 months, and 15 days after Mom left.  Two women that helped to mold me into who I am today, left me.  They are no longer here to ask questions of, or laugh with, learn of the past from. They left. The pain of losing them will never leave me.  How could it?! They taught me to be the women I am today.  Grandma was someone who always excepted me. Always showed me how to love others. Listen to others.  Care for others.  Really, just to be there for others when I am needed.  The pain I feel is indescribable.  I have never had my heart broken like this before.  Never had to face anything so hard.  You see, I was so Blessed when it came to losing people I loved.  The first person I loved, that I remember losing, was my Grandfather, George. G randad was someone ...

Happy 4th of July!

Okay so today is the 4th of July and I was looking for a cool picture of a flag to put on my blog. I really didn't see on I liked. But I found this picture of the sky I took when we went to Maryland to visit Aunt Betty a few years ago. I think the sky may have looked like this on that morning Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem. Today is a great day for this country. I am very proud of the service men and women that have served our country. Willingly giving up a part of their lives for us. Sometimes giving up their lives for freedom. So Thank you one and all. Sometimes saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Sometimes it is more than enough. So if you see someone in uniform just say thanks. You might just be surprised by the reaction of the service man/woman. I remember riding by the Armory a few years ago and their was a group of protesters on front of the armory. They were screaming at the men in uniform. I was angry and I could tell Mike was as well. He wanted to ...
