The Simple Things in Life

Well, it’s all about the simple things in life.  Tom and I were taking HannaH and Chewbacca for a long drive in the golf cart when this tree caught my eye.  I shouted “Stop” and everyone wondered what was going on.  I asked HannaH if she had ever climbed a tree and she said no, but I could tell that she was intrigued by the notion.  However it took me a bit of coxing to actually get her up into the tree.  She was so nervous.  It was like it was 100 feet high!  HannaH said “Grandma, everything looks different up here!”  That little girl delights my soul!  I won’t mention the part when I let go of her and she cried.  I thought that was cute and funny as she was really in no danger at all.  The world looks so different from the eyes of a child who can bring wonder and excitement into the simplest, littlest things.

Getting the Mindset to Post

Bits of rambling in search of a cohesive existence.  Maybe it will all come together or maybe not.  God knows -- but I don’t.  If he wants me to understand my life, he’ll let me know.  Until then, I’ll just ramble and see what comes out.

Thanksgiving Is Mandatory

As my children will tell you, I free them up to make any and all plans that they want to for Christmas.  I would love for one of them to include me on Christmas Day, but if not, that’s OK too.  Thanksgiving, however, is Mandatory--no exceptions.  My house.  Dinner is at 2:00.

This year, everyone came.  We just wish that Joe, Hayden, and Katie lived close enough to control -- I mean invite.

My Joy.

I raised three Christian kids that love each other.

Do they look happy?  They were just placating me.  I love to take their pictures.  It was such an accident that they all wore the same thing to Thanksgiving, thus leaving me an extra excuse to take pictures.

I don't think anyone choreographed the “hands in the pockets’, but it turned out cute. I don’t think anyone choreographed the “hands in the pockets’, but it turned out cute.

Why I Want to Blog

I am excited to start my Website.  My son, Jason, suggested that I start it so I can post my pictures with comments.  I’m curious to learn just how far I can take this.  Oh Goody!  I get to have another learning curve.  Sigh... 

I'm just starting it, so I don't know where it will lead.  Here is where I would like it to lead.  First, I will write random thoughts and memories.  That will lead to some sort of natural organization which will depict my life here on earth.  Then, of course, I will write my best-selling biography.   Finally, a major production company will pick up the rights to my book and will create a blockbuster film that will make you laugh, cry, cringe, and embrace, but that no one will ever forget--kind of like Gone With The Wind.  Yeah, right!
