Today is Mike's birthday...yeah, now he is as old as I am!!! I absolutely can not wait until the reunion on the 29th...I heard from Susie today and she is still planning on coming. Skip is still planning to come down with us...hope and pray we all stay well and can be together on the 29th...I tried to think about how long it has been since we were all together...it almost hurt my head trying to add up the years! You are all such a blessing to me :)

Waiting

Between today and tomorrow all tv, phones and Internet should be changed over ... Just hope we do not end up with saved items lost -:)

Soo sorry

Just in case your news has not covered our news...Todd Adkin said he misspoke and ask for our forgiveness....just might happen....after all most believe that President Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya....I really wish I could just roll with the thoughts of these republicans...but I just get so upset ....just never answer them

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN!!!

Hope your day is filled with family and Love-:)

A Tear

A tear to my eye when. I saw Lisa's post today...I hope the picture comes through well enough for you all to see!

Love My Cousin

My Cousin Patsy Rocks...thank you for your wisdom and ability to post what you believe...I can't get past the log in words....but I wanted to post how very awesome I think your bravery is...YOU ROCK!!!!

Early...Cool morning

Sam will be here in a few...Cindy has meetings again today.  Miike is at the pool taking his deep water aerobics.  When he gets home around 8 I will head to the Food Pantry to work.
Yeah Chelsea...maybe we will have a women in the White House yet!!!!

This is Sam's new room and the first time he is seeing what we did for him while he was at scout camp . It was so much work, but so worth it!!!! Maybe I have this photo thing figured out... We can only hope-:)

Boy am I trying to compose and use my tablet...some days change is really difficult. I wish I could figure out how to post from my tablet.....I so seldom go downstairs and use the big PC....but today I was able to get I through using Google on my tablet....yeah.  Also...some break in the I tense hear today....we are still in a drought .... Maybe some rain on Thursday and in the 70's this weekend.   Love you all!

Up and Running Again

Wow have I missed so much checking up on you all.  We have been having big problems with our tv, phone and computer carriers...I hope to have new some day.  We are all fine...teachers started today, our son in law has found a new job with the same bank...Sam and Kris survived Boy Scout camp in grand style.  Our daughter- in- law does not have a job....but you know what...  God is Good and so is our life...just all hiccups in the road.
So happy for you Helen...I was shocked with all your news...I sure hope all is fine with your move and your arm.  Kind of sounded like too much arm lifting in Vegas..teehee
Love you all!

Working at Food Pantry

Tomorrow I will go down and work at our church food pantry.  Last Wednesday we set a new record...the folks can only come once a month, but the word is spreading that we have a food pantry.  This is about he 5th year, but the needs are so much greater.
My funny from Sam today is that he told his Mom that his favorite President is William Taft...when asked why...it is because he had a cow at the White House and he had a mustache.  I asked if he new that he got stuck in the White House bathtub and had to have 6 people pull him out...haven't had a response from him yet.
Kris is interviewing for a new job at UMB....I am on pins and needles.
Hope you all are staying some what cool...misery here!

Hot, Hot and more Hot

Haven't felt the best in this hot weather and have been doing as little as possible....however, I know how envious you all will be when you hear that I took all the grand boys to see the "Amazing Spiderman" movie on Sunday afternoon.  At matinee prices, I still dropped a pretty penny.

Now we all have to think about school supplies...this is where we try to help out....but, again $$$

Sam will head to Boy Scout camp the end of July...sure hope there is a break in the weather before then....love you all !

Sending love to all of you:)

Anna Mae Again

Anna Mae will be 90 on June 6th....Yeah for dear, dear friends and their accomplishments!
Also, Lisa Reed had a baby girl...I will post details when I get pictures and complete information.

My Friend Anna Mae

On Saturday, June 2nd we went down to Arrow Rock Missouri to be with our friend Anna Mae for the opening of the African- American Museum.  She broke her pelvis on April 3rd and her husband passed away last month.  This was a big deal for her to make it to the opening.

Returned

It was fun to catch up with you all last night....I so seldom come to the big PC anymore.  I am a nut about FaceBook and spend way to much time on my ipad.  We have been down to the camper and I have the chiggers to prove it.  I did, however, learn an Amish remedy to prevent chiggers and ticks and I am going to use it next time down.  The Amish use Vicks Vapor rub behind their ears, on their wrists and around their ankles.  We used it on Sam the last night and it really worked for him...I don't know why I get so eaten up, but Mike says it is because they like "dark meat".
Things are calming down for us now that school is out....for the last 3 weeks of school Sam spent the night with us every night and then we took him to school....we have a much easier schedule now.
I'm going over to the gym this morning and work out while Mike is in water aerobics....I can walk a mile fast now....amazing what loosing 75 lbs. will do for you.
Love you all!

Another Dear Friend....

Sorry to be so long about posting....another dear friend passed away on Sunday.  We lovingly called him "Dr. Bob" and he was 93 years old and married to my dear, dear friend for 68 years.  He has been in Hospice for a little over a week.  His funeral is Wednesday and I have many responsibilities.  Also, tomorrow I am in charge of a memorial for a dear sweet sister in PEO.  She died peacfully in her sleep and she was 92 years old.  We don't weep for these sweet people, but no mater what...the loss hurts.
Dr. Bob was the father of my friend that passed away in 2008.  Sometimes...you just have to be quiet and reflective...I don't know what people do that do not have faith.

Now Searching

There are some times that I find aging difficult....like where did I put that?  I have torn up jack since I told Helen I had the Elvis 45 jacket...do you think I can find it????Noooo, but I know I have it...I will continue to look....arghhhhhh!!!!

I would be a big "NO"

Back down stairs....so a little blog.  That would be "NO" I am not voting for the Mormon or any Republican.  I am so angry with what the Republicans in charge are doing down in Jefferson City...arghhh!  Today they voted that Obama Care is unconstitutional....I sure would hate for anyone in Missouri to think about those in need....oh, I'm sorry...we don't have anyone in need in Missouri according to the Republicans.  Good Gosh....they are so "ME" centered!  I have a different thoughts...obviously.  I can't wait to get well enough to go work for our President....I don't think, however, we will ever turn our state back blue...Rush has too big a hold on this state.  I'm glad I can rant to you all....Love you all and hope your blood work is ok Helen.  By the way...Helen...do you have anything collected about "You Ain't Nothing But a Hounddog"...if you want, I have a 45 mint condition cover from when I was in Junior High...the record has been gone forever...but the jacket is really nice and I don't have a need for it.
