Memorial Day revisited

The weekend in SV was good.  Lin Dee's grave even had sod, as well as a headstone.  One less thing to worry about.  I love it when I can cross things off the LIST.  You know, that list we all have in the back of our heads that piles up in endless things to stress about.  After crossing of headstone and grass, Ive now added ALGEBRA
I bought the book today and I understand NOTHING!!!!!  Its going to be a long summer!

memorial day

The headstone is in place.  It only took them10 months.  But its finally there and now memorial day will be complete.  Wishing I could go see my mom, too, but I can't be in two places at once.  If someone knows how  let me know, please.  Miss you, Mom!  Miss you LinDee!

more experiences

Baby-sat my nephew and nieces tonight.  Such sweet kids, but they make me homesick for my grandkids!  I'm the kind of grandma that wants to have slumber parties at my house and cookies in my cookie jar, and read lots of bed time stories, but they are far away.  So those dreams are on hold and other children get the benefit of my frustration and maybe, that's not all bad.   I'd probably spoil the grandkids rotten and then their parents would hate me and that's bad!  Sometimes, the things we want the most are not what is best for everyone involved and we need to understand that; and then move on.

new fun blogs

I just found two new blogs to follow--crafting of course--I'm so excited that I'm kinda figuring out how to do  this.  You're right Susan, much better and cheaper than therapy!!

Yeah Me!

I'm so proud of myself!  I figured out my url and how to add other blogs to follow...still working on the up and download stuff!

next post attempt

I'm blogging again.  My friend Susan tells me its cheaper than therapy.   Checked all my kids facebook pages and sounds like they're fine, so that's good news, and the grandkids seem good, too.  I, however, am sick of rain and tired of being broke.  Inconcievably, nobody I've applied to wants to give me a part-time job,so I can work on my education as well.  Some people have no appreciation of the necessity of education  in today's world.   Seriously, its probably for the best.   Memorial Day is coming and I need to make a pilgrimage.  Wish I knew how to add pictures and other cute stuff.   One more thing to learn!

Starting Over....again.

Well here we go again..Tried this once and it disappeared so ..whatever.  Anyway, I'm blogging so I can feel a little younger and vent a little and maybe share a little of what I've figured out over the last 58 years.  This past 2 and 1/2 years have been full of sadness and change.  I've lost my mom and husband, my kids have grown up and moved on and I've had to figure out who I am and what to do next.  This has been revelatory and unsettling.  I find I still have no clear idea of what I want to be when I grow up...and I still need to grow up some.  I also find the I have grown in ways I never envisioned, and I'm very proud of what I've done.  I returned to school this last winter and did much better than I thought and I coped with financial difficulties and emotional difficulties with minimal meltdowns.  All in all a pretty good start-over.   Hope to get better at this blogging stuff (downloads?!, uploads?!, pictures?!)  I'll try to get a handle on all that stuff and make this more fun to look at ( if anyone does) Take care and blog you later!
