Flaming June's Love

The first pic is Allie and her new guy. Kendall. I think he is a sweet, full hearted man. He is physically strong and handsome, but the longer he is around I realize he is more beautiful inside. He listens, remembers and enjoys talking to all of us. Most of all he is totally in LOVE with JAAAACK!!! The play like boys play and he wnats to be with him. If he doesnt he sure hidws it well. Jack in turn acts with him a way I have never seen before. He listens to kendall and enjoys his company. He is gentle and the strong man cuddles and hugs and kisses Jack. I love it. The pics of my SASSY ASS Girls was their trip to Granny's. They are beautiful and funny and really really cool. I love them more than words.

Well the sun is surely sinking down But the moon is slowly rising So this old world must still be spinning round And I still love you (chorus) So close your eyes You can close your eyes, its all right I dont know no love songs And I cant sing the blues anymore But I can sing this song And you can sing this song When Im gone It wont be long before another day We gonna have a good time And no ones gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like - chorus - I am missing my Dad. My husband gave me an amazing Birthday present this year. As usual he thinks of me. Not what other people are thinking or expect, but what makes me happy. He went to the new owners of my Mom and Dads house and bought the chairs that sat around the kitchen bar. We spent endless hours at those seats. Talked about everything and lived life in those chairs. Now they are in my kitchen. My dad sat in that chair for hours a day. My Mom sat next to him. They had their dinners in those chairs. Watched thei...

Tomorrow I will wake up and BE 43 years old. I will officially BE HERE 4 years longer... I turned 39 then it all changed. But then again it didnt. I thought when I turned 40 my life was really changing, or moreso I was really changing. My family had a surprise off the cuff party for me. In my Mom and Dads yard. Andy got me a bicycle with a seat on the back for Jack and we were riding that afternoon. As we rode past Nana and Pops house I stopped THERE... because I did that numerous times a day. Just stopped and walked in.. We stopped and my girls were on the porch with my parents and Maryellen and Jackie and a few other friends. I was so happy and surprised and proud. Proud that I was even HERE since It was one year longer than I should have been at that point. Now I am HERE. HERE wherever that is. And should be THERE, wherever THERE is. He is THERE... Maryellen is THERE... I need to be more like THEN, than NOW.. and be happy to be ME, instead of THEM. 43 isn't so bad. I am...

I heard this somewhere on the life road, it wasnt til Andy reminded me of his favorite usage of it, Smokey and the bandit movie. OK say that is my reference point. My application for the ditty? well I have about 50 pounds to lose before Novembers 25th reunion for HS. Yeah I know I should be concerned about being healthy, blahblahblah. I want to look, at least, good. We went away to NY state. ANdy Jack and I. It was truly nice. We didnt argue, Jack was good and I was not feeling overwhelmed at all. Then we get home and all shit hell breaks loose. Details too many, but just stupid piss me off shit. Either way, I am still here, married and a mother. pictures attached from our trip.

Yeah I was cranky girl yesterday. Could you tell. I feel better today and pulled myself together. Sorry for the spewing. I hope this cheery video will help us all pick up and start over again. Along with a hysterical chuckle that Allie showed me last night.
