Ummmmm....Kerry....You Tower the Rest of Us! ☻
We had a great time with Kellie and Kerry tonight. A great way to start off a new month. I was sitting at Jared's basketball game and Kerry was reffing and I got the thought that we should all go out. I text Kellie and Larry and they liked the idea. Woo Hoo we made it happen!
These two are great friends. Larry has known them since high school but I met them when Justin and Kyle were young friends. I have always admired the Cooke's....they're just good people. They are very thoughtful of others and fun. We do a lot of laughing when we are together. (which isn't often enough...but better than nothing) Kerry comes up with the funniest sayings and is so mellow and a "I don't care" kind of guy. Kellie is concerned about everyone and everything. She's very caring and thoughtful. They make a great pair! It's funny how different they are yet how good they are together..where as Larry and I are more like two peas in a pod and still good together. I guess the main thing that matters is one's believes and goals. I think as long as those things are similar couples can make things work out.
We talked about Hawaii....I bet the Cooke's will be there soon. Larry and I have plans of going in the fall but I think we will be cancelling them because of Larry's injury.....we need to wait and build up vacation days again and let the guy mend. This injury is one that takes time. We made a few too many plans this year and have to make a few adjustments. (since his injury) In fact, we just cancelled our plans of going to CA next weekend. We got free airline vouchers last year and we were planning on going to CA with them but Larry just isn't feeling good enough to walk as much as he would need to if we went. He also wouldn't be able to drive and I surely don't want to....so we planned a "stay-cation". It seriously doesn't matter to me....I was looking forward to Disneyland but it wouldn't be as fun with Larry out of commission and hurting. I would be okay with just staying home but our "stay-cation" will be fun!

Happy Birthday Natalie
Natalie has reached the age that I feel like my spirit is....28!!! I love this girl and I'm so glad that she joined our family a few years back. Natalie is a great addition to our family. She is so talented and we all admire her to pieces. She's such a kind, soft spoken person. I was thinking of Natalie and how controlled she always seems to be. I bet there aren't many words this girl has to eat. She is a gentle person and patient. She teaches my kids piano and is gifted with knowing how to handle each one and make it fun for them. She is an attentive wife and mother. We all have Natalie up on a pedestal and she deserves to be there. I love visiting with Natalie and I always learn so much from her. I can always count on Natalie for anything.....this girl ROCKS!!! Beautiful Inside and Out!!!

Sunshine...
Lynne has lots going on in her life. It could be easy to get discouraged or down. She keeps smiling and going like she should. Heavenly Father loves her and He does each one of us. He puts others in our path to show His love and to convey His messages.
I feel like I am the delivery gal....it is the Lord that puts the thought into my mind to give these bags out. It was Him that put the thought there to even make them. It is Him that knows of each of our struggles....He just uses us as His instruments. I love being used by Him!

Love My Angel Babies
Oh my heck I love my grands so much. There is something about being a grandma that makes you just appreciate the miracle of life even just a tiny bit more. I got to watch Macie and Parker while Natalie and Mya went to PTA conferences. Macie woke up and so I "needed" to hold her. ☺ I loved this little one before she was born. I felt her sweet spirit because I thought more about her knowing a little of how she was coming to us. She is truly an angel in every way. Macie is so beautiful and good. She doesn't fuss much at all and is just content. I am so glad that Natalie hung around for awhile after the conference. I love having the sweet spirits of my grands in my home. They make my heart smile. ♥
My grands have awesome parents who teach them well. I am so proud of everyone of my grands parents. Every mommy and daddy are so attentive and good...even the steps are absolutely wonderful....I love them all!

Thin Skin
I have thin skin and every now and then a little capillary breaks and leaves me a red mark to remind me of how thin it is. It's a "getting old" thing that I can't help or make better. My daddy has purple arms from this happening and I guess that is just another gene I inherited from him....These marks don't hurt and I only know they are there when I see them...no warning...they just happen. Oh the joys of an aging body. Who knew?

Love this Girl
Carla has been wanting to go to lunch for about a week or so and our schedules have not been matching up but today they did. We were planning on going to lunch and my mom called and asked me if I would be able to take my dad to get a scheduled MRI since she wasn't feeling well and she didn't want him taking himself. Of course I would take him....she didn't think I could since I had a lunch planned. I let her know that lunches are flexible...appointments aren't. I just asked Carla if she would like to go with me and we could go to lunch after. She didn't have other plans and so we were able to get in more visiting which was nice.
My poor daddy though....they said the test would only be 20 minutes and an hour and half later my dad came shuffling out. (he shuffles these days...slow and steady) They had to try a different way to have him lay since the first way just made his back hurt more than he could bare. He seemed great when he came out. I was happy to help my daddy and get to see my mom for a minute when I returned my dad. (wink) I'm glad mom called and was glad that I could help.
It was fun visiting with Carla. Carla is a sweetheart with a huge heart. She is just such a kind person. I'm glad and honored to be her friend. I want to always remember that I am on her top 5 list....her hubby put me there and that made me feel good. I'm not exactly sure what her list is for but I'm honored to be on it. ☺
Carla and I were talking about each of us going to the gym and how we just feel better and she decided to join the gym I go to so that we can go together. Her and Roger go the base in the evening but she wanted to go with me in the mornings...I'm looking forward to having her go....I know it will make the workout more fun. Love this girl....and all my wonderful friends that inspire me always to be better!

a Stinky post
I don't care what you might call it...a toot, stinker, barking spider, small explosion between the legs, Fred, gas, cutting the cheese, bum burp or whatever other term one might use...I get tired of others doing this around me. (unless it is a child...like my grands....then I laugh or try to comfort them depending on their reaction) I get it...sometimes one can't help it and those times I understand. It happens...I know...it happens to me some times. I also know that one should also have a little more control when it comes to releasing the gas inside. I hate being in the same room with someone when they are purposely pushing them out. It totally bugs me! And for some reason the one doing it thinks it's so funny....but, if the roles were reversed it wouldn't be so funny and they would let me have it.
Why do guys always say that girls are worse? It's because girls are better at controlling themselves and when a guy notices he makes a big deal out of it...maybe because he was surprised it wasn't his. I also wonder how guys can do lthis on demand...pull my finger...just mention it and they can produce...how does that even happen?
I have failed in this area of parenting. I have tried to teach my children respect of others and leaving the room if they have to do this. (some got it~others...not so much) No matter how many times I have told my sweetheart I do NOT like going to bed with unpleasant odors in the air or under the covers it continues to happen....it irritates me! We have air freshener by the bed....one should not have to keep air freshener by their bed! YUCK....GAG....MY PET PEEVE!!!
A few of the males in my family probably own a pair or two of these unders....if not they should!
