Flaming June's Love

I am so excited for my girl to be home for the holidays. I miss her more than I thought I would. I have attached a few pics from college. She is a college cheerleader and she seems to like it. I think she looks awesome and surely the prettiest girl in the bunch. (I am partial ya think?) She is so full of hope and excitement for her life and I cant help but feel it and get excited foe her. And me. The other is from Carole night at the college. Since it is a catholic university they participate in the whole thing and although it may not be p.c. anymore I LOVE IT!!!! I love that she participates in church activities and the caroleing and vespers and mass events. It is good for the soul no matter what religion you are to believe in SOMETHING bigger and better than we are. I cant help but notice how glowing she is. beautiful

eah it is that time again. I looked back to last year and there it was... The night I made bread last year. I make it every year and give it all out ot hte neighbors. I have 8 mini loaf pans and that was just right for the number of neighbor Itake care of. Well Ionly need 6 this year. Mrs AMith died in the spring. My Maryellen died Jan 10 th of 2007. Almost a year without her. I am sad today and missing my friend. We would bitch about he cost of the girls things and then overdo it every year. We would cook and bake together and then compare notes on what we had to offer everyone. She made an awesome strawberry pretzel salad. I know it sounds crazy bit ssooo good and so her. I miss her. I miss my Dad. I hear our song every few minutes on the readio and evry single time I cry. I am attaching the words and you will agree it a song about being here in spirit if not able to be here in body. Love you Dad. Christmas Song, I'll Be Home For Christmas Lyrics Looking for Christ...

My Girl Missi. I have spent alot of time trying to get to..... you know that time, place, period... in my life. I have reached those places and surpassed them and then... find myself back at the same place again because I didnt realize I was there already. OK Ill try again. Get the girls toa certain age without being pregnant, arrested, in rehab, and then I will be OK. Well we did that. Now I am goin through that area again with Missi. I havent had any problems with either of my girls and now I am relaxing enough with Missi to enjoy this time in her life. She was out tonight with a friend to a hockey game. She came home and I asked her how it was if she saw anyone she knew and it wasnt until I kissed her goodnight that I realized that I didnt feel the need to interrogate. Why? because I TRUST HER. Allie is at school and has taken her last class this semester. She has all her finals next week so she is "studying" all weekend. I wonder how much beer is necessary to pass ...

My old house was inspected today and all looks good for the sale. I met with the buyers again and they are really nice. A young woman and a boyfriend. I am ok with them. I am attaching new pics from the house at night and Missi and her friends from her party. I will w rite more on another night or maybe later.

I sat there with my friend Sue and realized as I usually do that I had a connection with her. I know that now she thought me a bit .... odd. I, as I do now.. appear one way when in actuality I am NOT WHAT I APPEAR. I was one of the few kids in the school with very little money, and a home packed to the gills with kids and truly loving involved parents. I appeared ... plain, boring and predictable. Sue woke me to the idea that I was none of these things. I shared drawings and poetry with her and we discussed love, life and the far off idea of future. We were surrounded by people involved in the NYC scene, partiers with all the latests gadgets and new cars, plenty of cash and just ... SO... cool. Sue and I have remained friends through some of the toughest parts of our lives. Then again we have had periods of not talking for maybe the longest about three years. She has what I like to call a very "passionate" point of view about a number of things. In other words somet...

We recieve a bid yesterday on myhouse and we took it. I signed the multitude of papers and just a few weeks MY PLACE will be someone elses. Interestingly enough it is a single Mom of two daughters buying it. How appropriate is that. I probably shouldnt be happy she is alone with two girls but I must say the karma in this home is magical. It is decorated all girly and warm. Cozy for a young mom and girls. I have had some amazing times here. Some really hard ones as well. But I can tell you I will always look back on these past 11 years with warm happy memories. I spoke to Tim yesterday and told him the news. He cried. Seems weird I know but there is a sense of loss with the sale of the place. I know I could never go back to that life with him nor would I really want to. But there is always a sense of..... What Was. My girls grew up here pretty much. First boyfriends, lost teeth, pets, new schools, broken hearts, new loves, Christmas's with their Dad, Amy, ANdy, and most of...

THE HOUSE Who lives in that house across the way? The one where children sometimes play With happy smiles and laughing eyes; Where joy is heard, but never sighs. Where sunshine always seems to play, On windows sparkling through the day, And raindrops dare not set their face On trees stood proud with ageless grace. I wonder just how many times That house has seen some children climb, Those sturdy trees of oak and lime, That stand so tall and withstood time. Others will later buy this home, and when they've gone and it's alone, They'll take a look and see the sign On this great house that once was mine.
