Memories are made of this--

                                        Good morning to you all--  quite cold here this AM--

I just walked Lopez  (him in his sweater)-I was trying to get out there before all the dog walkers--As in Lakefield, everyone has a dog--which is a great excuse to get out there walking--We met large dogs and a couple of tiny ones--all seniors who are out there with them!

So, as the lady above says, I do know a few things  about most things--but nothing about other stuff , but, I do know one thing about most things--I guess this is how it is at my age eh?--My Mom used to know everything about most things--I used to trust her judgement--although, sometimes I didn't agree with  her with everything she told me to do-and stuff I wasn't allowed to do--I trusted my Dad-and I did whatever he agreed It was alright to do whatever----I knew Dad would let me get away with a lot--As Mom used to say 
"You have your Dad wrapped around your little finger"-----I knew Mom really didn't like that!-----Kids know  who is on their side don't they?

        There is my Dad on the far left, holding my sister__I am standing behind my Mom--
                                                So, how did I ever get into all of that?--

Doncha jess wish you could meet your Mom and Dad --like--to-day?----that you could thank them for everything they did for you--apologize to them for some stuff also--I realize to-day, that they deservc a medal, for raising  me--for standing me up to face the world---

So, how on earth did I get into all of that?--I guess I have always wished to go back in time--to meet all the people who came before me--altho---  sometimes  I am told that I am like my Mother--????!!!!!!
I just dunno------

So, it is Son #4's  Birthday to-day--He was a boy who was never planned-- but, the best thing that ever happened to our family. Did any of you have one of those children??-- He had an imaginary friend , called "Buck"-- He would phone "Buck" (who was really his older brother's friends)- and he would chat away to them for hours-                                   
                                                          Make to-day the best day ever--

and, remember, to-day, to stay strong--

  1. Good morning, Lynda! It is 52 this morning in Ohio! I bet Lopez looks so cute in his little sweater. I want to get Tommy and Kloi one. My husband thinks that dog clothes are silly. LOL He is from Minnesota so he thinks a winter in Ohio is like spring in Minnesota. I hope your son has a wonderful birthday. Do you get to celebrate with him? That would be nice. Enjoy your day whatever you do. Big hugs!

  2. Good morning, sis
    Yes, I like the font a bit larger...not huge, though.
    Is there ever something you do because Fred did it? He may have 'told' you to do it. Ever smell him? Get a glimpse 'out of the corner of your eye', feel his touch on your body? See a cardinal? Those are signs, too, besides the ones I have mentioned already.
    It's only 58F here, but full sun! It will be 75F this afternoon...and the fleece lined leggings I ordered are coming today. Guess I won't need them today...yea!
    Your day seems to be going well. I can just see Lopez in a sweater! I crocheted a harness and leash to take Lucky for an exercise walk! It was a disaster. Soon as we got out in the hall, he scratched at the door to get back in the apartment!
    Gonna eat breakfast now, Lynda. I'll come back to check later. Loved your comment yesterday. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  3. Good Monday Morning Lynda,
    It's cooler here today but it's going to be sunny all week. Yay!
    Today is grocery shopping day after I get my workout in.
    My Mom is still with us and she is 88 years old. I do find myself doing and saying things that are things my Mom did or said.
    No matter how much we say we are going to be different from our parents when we were younger, we are like them in lots of ways.
    Happy Birthday to Son#4.
    Have a great day!

  6. It's Kathy. I actually had two of those surprise pregnancies. My DH said we could only have 2 children, one to replace each of us. So we had Jessica & Rachelle. BUT, when Rachelle was 6 mos old, I found myself pregnant with Lauriellen. And she was a handful - still is! We moved, my DH went back to school, and don't you know I found myself pregnant once again. This time I got Brandon & Colin - and yes, they were the best surprise to all of us. The girls doted on them, they were the best children to raise. And there was always a friend available! Happy Birthday to Son #4! Have a wonderful day.

    Enjoy your day.

  8. For sure, I hear my dear Mom coming out of my mouth often. She was a wise woman. I know that now. Wish I’d known it in my younger years!

    Hugs and blessings

  9. I do not see a change in your font size - so maybe it is my computer that is keeping it the same as always....but not a problem for me. My cats are adjusting to the "liter robot" I bought before the house disaster last December. The insurance replaced the one I lost so now that I have moved back into my house, they have to be trained to use it again! But it sure is nice not to have to clean 2 litter boxes every day! I feel your pain about missing Fred. I used to yearn for a sign from my DH....and I wished that I could dream about him, which rarely happened! But I feel that somehow, he is still with me in spirit, even without any "sign". I talk to him and ask him how he feels about how our house looks now with all the restoration/renovations! He would not recognize it now....makes me sad, but nothing could be saved so I am starting anew! The pain lessens every year that goes by (6 for me now), but it never goes away. We just learn to live with the giant hole in our heart!
