DeleteWhat lovely FAMILY memories! And it does bring a tear to us, for sure! Good thing you have all of the pictures as reminders, we need that! Take care…..
ReplyDeleteLots of pictures eh?-- All those people are inside of me!--LOL--=Lynda
DeleteLynda, blogger is changing the way I identify myself here when commenting. Instead of just showing LOAGrandma (My Spark People ID) it want me to choose a different way. I chose Google Account. The photo is me with my then new computer glasses. They cut the 'blue light.' With the new computer, I don't wear them anymore.
ReplyDeleteYes, photos bring up old memories. I have a million...little albums for kids and grandkids, one with old photos with my mom, dad, grandma, lots of photos on my computer hard drive, more in frames around the apartment on the walls. Also, of course, on Facebook. There's one of me and a cardboard cut-out of Hilary Clinton that was taken at the Mall of America in Minneapolis.
Almost October. Halloween decorations are starting to be everywhere now that the back to school displays are gone. The first half of the month will be very busy for me...Lucky has his appointment and I have three...eye doctor, GI doctor visit on line then up to the Minneapolis Veterans Hospital for labs and visit with my primary care. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when that's over.
Love all the photos! It's great you have those memories. Do you have any of Himself's family?
Eating lunch now. Lucky wants me to hurry. He's expecting our nap. Already did shopping on-line to be delivered tomorrow and ran may wheel-less friend to her bank and pharmacy. That's enough for one morning. Oh...and disposed of my recyclables.
Will check later. Hope Himself is better to you than he was yesterday afternoon. {{{HUGS}}} Love, your sis, Maggie
Why do they make yu change??_- I do like yer glasses--They suit yu!--Halloween is a fun time--but--I do tend to get into the candy--Yes I have lotza pictures of Himself's family--I must start to post them also--Hopefully I can get some groceries tomorrow--not a bad day here--Himself went off the deep end a bit--but I handled it well--I set up my new Kindle all myself--I DID IT! LOL--- getting better with all these computers etc==Hugs--Love yu Sis--=Lynda

Hi Marge-- good day here-- How about with yu?--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I love your memories and your photos. It's good to remember the good times! My husband and I shared not so great memories today and I'm having a pretty hard time. I was divorced with 5 children, he was also divorced 10 years with a son and step-daughter that he only saw now and again. We married and apparently none of these children thought it was a good idea. Mine had to live with their new step-dad, at least the ones who were still in school. His we still didn't see very often but his step-daughter, who was 19, wanted to retain the Dad/Daughter relationship and just ignore me altogether. Well it seems my dear husband of almost 30 years now seems to think it was all my fault that his step-daughter has all but abandoned him. The truth is, when he talked to her about their relationship, she told him there would be no relationship until he divorced me! That was over 10 years ago and they have no relationship. I tried to include both his children in our newly created family but neither of them tried back. So we have been fighting pretty much all day until now - when he left to do the shopping. I am still not strong enough to walk around much! So I love your memories and would like to forget my own! Thanks for always listening to me Lynda. I hope it's a good day for you today.
ReplyDeleteKathy---YU are truly amazing!--- Yu had 5 children also??--Like me--Kids eh??--They all have their own ideas and until they live your life, they should not dish out advice-- I know, because I get a great deal of advice also-- right now--- I've told them that WE live our life and I do not appreciate everything they have to say ---unless it is constructive --Their advice doesn't come as much now as they see that I am handling things--even their Dd--so---more and more , I think they are amazed that an old Lady can do all this--Son#2 the Pilot is amazing --Son#1 and son#2 give us gift cards for meals and Daughter in Ohio sends anything Himself wishes--all thru amazon--but --over the yrs they have had more faith that we can survive-- I need help to do quite a bit out here but the help doesn't come from the kids--I have to hire some things out--That used to make me cry a lot, but--- I am learning that one day , they just might be in the same situation and then will look back and remember their "Mom"--Terrible that his daughter doesn't respect you, but you cannot change her--just accept that at is the way it is--love her Father--Treat her the way she should be treating you--and one day she might come round-- tell her that you love her Dad--and maybe she will see that her Dad loves you--and whatta terrible selfish thing to say to yu--"no relationship till her Dad divorces yu--!! selfish girl!-- live your life and love yer husband--- One day---that selfish girl will see that her Dad is happily married--It is hard isn't it?---Don't let that silly girl ruin your marriage-----and big hugs--I just know you CAN do it!
