That Rainbow Connection---

Maybe  from now on, it will be a perfect day--It certainly has not been that sort of day up till now--In fact I even started to cry at the gas station---after filling up the car with gas--and after dropping Himself off at his Day Program--

 You see, people who are 96 yrs think they are "younger than Springtime"--and think because they are home here, that they are in charge of EVERYTHING, make crazy demands on their wife---like----  "What is that box?"--(It's a new soft sided cat carrier so I can keep the cat safely in the car when we are travelling to Lakefield)---well, "Why would you buy that now?"---and---"You spend to much money""--and it just goes  on and on, ending with something like, "Only a stupid person would order that and why are you spending all my money"-----

I try to ignore it all, as we were late getting Him to the Day Program---as he was sitting watching TV as I made the bed, took out the garbage, walked Lopez,  and  changed our bed---I was up at 4-30am to get everything done--so-----  I guess the best thing is to ignore the crap----from my Dear Husband  -stop the crying-- because I know he doesn't mean what he says--and "CARRY ON"--- 

"Keep your chin up"-- Dad just yelled in my head--Good thing Dear old Dad is up there looking down at me--This day can only get better eh??

        So, time for the"Oldies and the Goldies"--when life was more normal--- and even enjoyable--
This was the whole "Wallace" clan--- a great Family reunion--- I am in the front row--sitting--Allison is standing --sorta second row--- to my right and Fred  is behind her. looking to his right--A lot of these people have passed --
-Below is Son#2's daughter--She is almost finished University now --So fun to look back on life when life seemed so easy ----I never even realized it--!

                                                            -- Time flies  doesn't it??--       

Now--I must ask you--  How is your day going?--I hope there are no tears---  If so, remember that song--- because --One day you will find it--that Rainbow Connection --the Lovers, the Dreamers and me......singing makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER!!

     So---- there you go--Already I do feel better--I really needed to talk to you all--and maybe I did find that Rainbow connection today-------Well, ya never know eh?--
                                                                
                                                                (I think I'm cracking up!)

    Lynda, you are so funny with that last meme! We sometimes think we are losing all our marbles. I think that comes with all our life experience and the demands on our time.
    Love the photos...family memories are important. Especially, for you, because it helps you reconnect with the love of your life.
    Hope being at his program will settle Himself down and he will forget the cat carrier. At least he will be tired afterwards and should give you some peace as he rests.
    It's after 10 now and I haven't even eaten breakfast yet...and you were up at 4:30? Wow! When I was in basic training in the Army and scheduled for KP (Kitchen Patrol) I had to get up at 3:30. Swore I'd never do it again.
    Saved 2 memes...the Rainbow Connection and that last one.
    You sure find lots of good ones.
    Still overcast here and a little colder. Not even up to freezing temps. We're supposed to get some sun this afternoon.
    Outa here now, sis. I'm hungry. Will check back later. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    It's Kathy. I'm so sorry himself hurts you like that, knowing that he doesn't understand what he is saying. I think all husbands can do that without thinking about how their words affect us. Mine did just last week. I want him to take Pilates with me now that I can get back to the gym. He snapped at me about not wanting to spend the money - after he just spend hundreds for art supplies! All for him. That night I couldn't sleep and found myself in the living room crying. I know he just doesn't value the same things as I do, but it kind of hurts anyway. So, too bad for him - I'm going to Pilates by myself because I love it! Today I went to physical therapy. I am getting stronger - not strong enough but she can see the progress. This week's exercise - getting down on the floor and up again, using each leg in front! And doing more step ups and downs! Gotta get the strength back in my legs! I hope your day improves! You are doing so much and deserve to be thanked!!!
