Well, I have finally finished painting my ceilings except for the back hall and over my shower. I also finished the wishing well if front of my house. That's 3 bedrooms,two baths the kitchen and living room and a long hallway, might I add. I can't post any pic's because my camera is down and I am going to have it checked out, to see what is wrong with it. I will take the picture and it is OK , but when I load it to the computer The pictures are messed up. So I am taking it to the camera shop tomorrow. The ceilings look GREAT, and I am so proud of my self. If my late husband were alive he would have beamed with joy. He always said I stink at painting. This time he would have to say "nice job!"
My eldest grandson has moved out of his mum and dad's house and got his own place with a friend. My daughter is feeling a little blue. But she will get over it soon enough. Having am extra bedroom in the house comes in handy. I think her husband wants it though. My other daughter and her two boys are a bundle of joy. I keep telling her to enjoy them now. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. Oh and I must not forget my beautiful Georgia, I love her so much. She is smart as a wipe and talented also. She helps her mummy and daddy. too. I am proud of all their report cards and what the teachers have to say. To them "thank you".
My next job will be to make about 5 mice for The Christmas party at school. Christmas is such a wonderful holiday. How I wish Kelly ,Paul and the kids could be here. I miss them. Thanksgiving is next week. So a very blessed Turkey day to all . Don't eat to much turkey or you might miss the whole day napping. God Bless
Well Things Are Looking Up!
Hi, Things are looking up . Since the last time I logged in. I have accomplished a lot. I still didn't get my camera fixed so I haven't any pictures. But, I am here to tell you what I've done. As you remember I said I wanted to paint the wishing well in front of the house and I did! It turned out great . I love the color. It is a very soft green. I will get pic as soon as possible I promise. Also I have been painting my ceilings. I live in a 3 bedroom mobile home. With my back , hips,knees and fibromyalgia , it was quite an accomplishment.I started some time ago but I got the first bedroom done in a day, rested three days and did the bathroom in the front of the house. I rested three days again. I am serious it takes that long to get enough strength to go on. I do not feel sorry for myself either. God helps me through every day. Anyway I did the second bedroom , then the liven room and long hallway which was a bummer. I hurt so bad. My youngest daughter came over and made me stop and she took over. God bless her. It took me a long time to recover from that day. But I am back to painting. Yesterday I started the back bathroom , which is my bathroom. Did I mention I have 3 skylights. Ha ha! They are fun to paint. In a mobile home the wood that goes around the bottom of the window, will come right off. Well yours truly didn't know that and almost broke her neck when I grabbed on to it so I wouldn't fall. As luck has it, I didn't. Today I will take a day off. But tomorrow I will start the last bedroom and maybe the back hall. They will be hard because I have one of those bedroom sets that weigh a ton. I will get it done though. On the weekend I will finish up by doing the kitchen. I am hoping Barb will give me a hand with that room. It is large with a small chandelier and another set of lights then the skylight and lastly a light over the sink. And lots of cupboards.I will be so proud of myself. For those of you that haven't seen the inside of a mobile home You will be surprised at the space you have and as I said the pictures are coming. So my pity party is over and I feel so much better. If you want to feel better don't put things off just stay busy and get a blog!!!
Let's have a pity party
OK here we are having a pity party and only one person showed up. That's me! Last week I painted my wishing well in front of my house, vacumed my ceilings and cleaned my garage. It took me all week.
As many people of my day,I have a big back problem and for me to get that work done is simply amazing. Even if I do say so myself.
I wanted to take before and after pic's but something is up with my camera so until I get it fixed no pic's. Poor me boo-hoo. Today I am going to try real hard to paint my ceilings. I will start in the front bedroom. Even if I don't get them done straight away, I have all winter to do them. I just hope my paint stays good, If you know what I mean. After that I will attempt to paint the walls and put up a border.
Why you ask am I doing all this myself? Well because I am one of those people that "back seat drive's" and it causes a lot of arguing. I hate to argue. Anyway I will dictate to them how I think they should paint it and if a spot gets on the rug, have a sissy fit. So I am better off to get on with it myself, besides when it is done think of the joy I will feel knowing I did it. Who cares if I am at it all winter.
My husband Ed died 10 years ago, I am telling you this because he would never let me paint. He always would tell me " I got this mom, you go do something else", Then one day I heard him tell his buddy 'she (meaning me) was the worst painter he has ever met. But he doesn't want to hurt my feelings because I am so good at the rest of the stuff".I take it to mean cooking, cleaning , mothering and working everyday.
Ed was a good man . I would come home after working overtime and the wash would be clean and folded, the house would be clean and dinner would be on the table. I told him I would never marry again for two reasons: 1, They don't make men like him often and 2, because It would be to hard to train someone else to be like him. Not that I ever could. I guess I am writing this because he has been gone 10 years the 26th of August and he is on my mind more today. Although it is September 1st. Maybe because I am painting and it reminded me of him. But no matter what the reason the ceilings must get done. Now you know why the pity party. So I am off to do them. I will try to get the camera fixed so I can take pic's and Ed if you are listening, I LOVE YOU and Pray for you all the time. bye bye everybody wish me luck.
Its been a long time
It's been a long time since I wrote. Yesterday August 4TH was mom's Birthday and even though you are in await, I wish you a wonderful birthday, and send you my momma all my love.
Now has any body noticed how old Obama is looking? I actually feel bad for the man so many irons in the fire if you know what I mean. He wants to do things right but we all know that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. Taxes will have to be raised to do all the things that he wants. I will continue to pray for the man and hope others do as well.
Lets face it the only real way for the thing to change economically is if there is a forgiveness program globally and all debit is washed away. People should believe in the bible move and live by it. Believe me I know how hard that is. Wouldn't it be nice to be free of debit, and to help one another . If you see your neighbor out and they are elderly trying to fix there yard , do you walk away or do you ask if they need help. Again the right thing is to help. But so many walk away. That seems to be the way of life any more.
As some of you know my daughter and seen some of her pictures on her blog I will try not to repeat them but forgive me if I do. This little lady is my only granddaughter. She is so sweet. It is her graduation from the lower years in school to the upper school she had a great time . In America they don't do that it is a shame. There is nothing to do but get into trouble , join gangs , no more carhops no more or should I say very few drive ins, no sweet shops to hang around. Just drugs and troubles.. The cost is so high the poor kids just do what they can.
Ok I will share with you a little party we had for Aron Our 4 year old's birthday party, what a goof off. I have to get Kelly to show me how to move a picture where you want to put it. I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for her.I really miss her so much. My other daughter lives here in the USA across the street from me. I love her so much also and all four of my grand children.
On that note I am going to sign off and try to paint my ceilings. I will let you know how that goes. Bye bye for now and remember God loves you
( something Our Priest shared with us at Church Ans I wish to share with you)
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged, and the mother said, 'I love you, and I pray you enough.'
The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is alive ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom.'
They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by
asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'
Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'
'Well ... I'm not as young as I once was, she lives so far away & has her
own busy life. I have some challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said.
'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I pray you enough.'
May I ask what that means?'
She began to smile. 'That's a prayer that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I pray you enough,' we wanted the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to
sustain them.'
Then, turning toward met she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.
I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
Then, she began to cry, and walked away. So take the time you can with your mother and remember she won't be there for ever.
The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is alive ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom.'
They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by

own busy life. I have some challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said.
'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I pray you enough.'
May I ask what that means?'
She began to smile. 'That's a prayer that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more.

Then, she began to cry, and walked away. So take the time you can with your mother and remember she won't be there for ever.
My Mothers Day
Well, this will be short one, But I had the best mothers day ever. I received a lovely Birdhouse feeder from Barbara and a new PC camera from Kelly. I was so excited. Kelly and I laughed for a good hour playing around with the camera making funny faces !
I laughed so hard that my sides were killing me.
Barbara and I are going to put the feeder up in my yard, Just outside the patio so I can watch the birds eat. We have so many lovely birds here in Ohio. Bluebirds, cardinals, Differe
nt colored finches and of coarse the beloved robins and oh yes the hummingbirds, can't forget them. I just love the outdoors , but I a cannot take the humidity. I just can't seem to handle that.I think the only mothers day that will be better is when Kelly comes home and we can all be a family again. I dream of the day when Paul, Kelly , Georgie Dillon, Barb , Thomas and sweet Aron can all go to church together. Then have a country picnic and all enjoys one an other's company. That is my Ideal Mothers day.
Well, I said it would be short so here's wishing you all a Great year and every days a Mothers day!!
To my Mom and all other Moms too!
Mom this one's in memory of you. I would like to thank my Mom for teaching me right from wrong, to be a able to love , to be responsible and grow in independence, to know how much she gave of herself to teach us these things. For the spankings we got when we did wrong, which made me strong and now that I am older really,really kept us on our toes.
I remember saying when I grow up "I won't do that to my children, hahahah". I can only wish I was as good a mom as she was.
None of her children ever got into trouble, at least anything bad. Sure we did some of the mischievous things kids do but all in all we turned out OK. My older sister was a housewife and is now a grandmother to 13 I believe.
The next sister was a nurse and has 1 son and 1 granddaughter.
Then there is a brother, Dan. He served in the navy and when he got out became a therapist, now retired , has been married 33 yrs, produced 2 boys and a girl , and Dan and wife Sharon have 9 grand kids.
So MOM, if you can read this from heaven THANK You , You are my hero and always will be. You are the best. I love you soooooo much and miss you more. Happy Mothers day! Her are some pictures of my Mom and Her Mom. My Mom passed away Sept.1,2001. Her memory will live on a long time.
And to my daughter Kelly you must show me how to place these pictures right. Heheheheh.
Well, A Little About Our Government
It is I again! I listened to President Obama the other night. He is a well spoken man and very down to earth. He has a lot on his plate right now, will have for quite some time. But I want to talk about the little things that matter to the people. Social Security, Jobs, schools, gangs and God. I will do them in that order.
First lets start out with Social Security: I have a dear friend, names don't matter. She has been a housewife for years, maybe worked a year or so when there was no money to be made. Now she is going to be 62 years old. Her husband, who worked forever, collects S.S. and a pension brings in close to $3000.00 A month. Plus she does foster children which is not taxed.I am not sure how much she makes there but it is a lot because she takes in troubled girls. God Bless her. Which is great. Please don't get me wrong but I am torn what is right. Now from what I hear she will be entitled to her husbands s.s. so they will add another close to $700.00 a month. I always thought the wife collected his Social Security when that spouse dies, and not until. Social Security has come a long way. I know when My Ed died I was told I will never see a dime of that money because I made more money than him. I feel this is fair because there are a lot of us out there that really need S.S. we have no pensions. It is no wonder Social Security is going broke. How many people are collecting twice. I am a disable person and I can not work. I can't stand long and the pain when I do is awful. Shouldn't I get part of my husbands money? My answer is no, I think some of these laws should be changed. Or at least looked at. NO double dipping. To many people will need it. Lets share the wealth.

Or at least looked at. NO double dipping. To many people will need it. Lets share the wealth.
Jobs: If our Government would not have shipped our jobs over seas we would not be in this mess. If the bank's weren't so greedy we would not be in this mess & If the unions and works weren't so greedy we would not be in this mess. Saying that If we could eliminate greed we would be in a great world.
This STIMULUS package what a laugh , no accountability at all . The money should have had rules. States should account for every dime of the money to put people to work not to build new conference centers or sports stadiums. We should be taking some old factories and refurbishing them and make new solar power roofs and things of that nature . But no , greed will get that money also.
Schools , now they're doing a pretty good job there but again they need to have a lesson in how to dress or start wearing uniforms with a code, like tuck shirts in and skirts just above the knees or longer. Pants should be worn from waist to top of feet and there should be a class for common sense. My mom use to say you can't teach common sense but I still think it can be done.
Gangs: Lets start caning them, beat the tar out of them and the younger ones will think twice. OOPS I think I said that before in past blog. So I will leave it go. hahahhahah ! Also there are a lot of people out there that made mistakes in their lives, some innocent mistakes. I am not sure how to write this but I feel they need a chance to correct that mistake. First time felons with the lowest felony, if they stay clean and follow all the rules for 5 years should have their felony reduced to a misdemenor. But that is only my opinion.
And last but most important, God,. Now here is the way I see it. We have thrown God out of our lives. What can we expect from our children but trouble. Look at the trash on TV at the movies . There are a lot of great books out there with God in then like "THE LEFT BEHIND BOOKS",
"THE SHACK" just to name a couple but believe me I could go on for quite a while. Hollywood stop teaching trash to our kids. Obama Bring God back to the people, back to this country.
OK got to go . Talk to you soon God Bless every one. I am waiting for you Lord!
Just a poem I would like to share.
This was sent to me in an e-mail and it reminds me of when things seemed a little simpler: I hope you agree.
A POEM
A clothesline was a news forecast To neighbors passing by.
There were no secrets you could keep When clothes were hung to dry.
It also was a friendly link For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by To spend a night or two.
For then you'd see the "fancy sheets"And towels upon the line;
You'd see the "company table cloths"With intricate designs.
The line announced a baby's birth From folks who lived inside -
As brand new infant clothes were hung,So carefully with pride!
The ages of the children could So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed, You'd know how much they'd grown!
It also told when illness struck,As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,Haphazardly were strung.
It also said, "Gone on vacation now" When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, "We're back!" when full lines sagged With not an inch to spare!
New folks in town were scorned upon If wash was dingy and gray,
As neighbors carefully raised their brows,And looked the other way . . ..
But clotheslines now are of the past,For dryers make work much less.
Now what goes on inside a home Is any body's guess!
I really miss that way of life.
It was a friendly sign When neighbors knew each other best
By what hung on the line!
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Just thinking
Well my daughter , Kelly just sent me a book called the Shack. By a man named Young. What a book, it will shock you , make you laugh and cry. It will make you stop and think about the Lord, In some strange ways it brings clarity. I hope others will read this book. I went to the library to get it and was on a waiting list of 275 people . When I told Kel about it she sent me a copy. Kel is always there for me. I love her , her husband and my two grandchildren so much. I talk with them just about every day on line that is. They have been over seas. It feels to me forever. I think almost 18 years. Well as long as they are happy,that is all that matters. When I am down I will get on line and she will cheer me up. When I am up I want to share it with her. I remember back in 2001 My mom Passed on to that waiting room in the sky. Kel and family came back to the States. Even though my mom was gone Kel came back here to the states not only for her Grandmother but also so we could helped each other get through it. Kelly if you read this I LOVE YOU and Thank you. There are times in our lives that we cherish more than others. I have had my share. God has been good to me. I also have another daughter I feel further away from her than Kel, Barb is her name. She has given me two grandchildren also.In which I also love very much.They are right here the USA. Children can brig such joy to our lives. Georgia is a wonderful artist, just 10 mind you, Dillon is 18 and you know how hard that is. I am sure he will find himself. Thomas is 11 , yes sassy at times but I can handle it and then there is trouble;Aron. A sweet 3 year old that gets into everything. Never a dull moment when he is here. The things that bring smiles to your face. I had to laugh when I read what I wrote. Sounds like bribbish. Well, I just want to introduce the people I love the most in my life.Thanks for this blog I can reread this and see the way I must turn to gather my thoughts.
It's Time To Stand Up Again!
Hi, I am back again. Today I wish to express a thought that came to me at 2:00 A.M. this morning. Or should I say a question. Why have so many Christians allowed GOD to be taken out of our schools? Off some of the oldest buildings. But yet a swastika's can stay! Public or not it is crazy!! Why have we not spoke up about it? This great country was based on religion , was it not? A few non-believers stood up and got their way and had Him removed and we just let it happen. Look at the children today. Always troubled in some way. Lost, confused,disrespectful and no morals. You see so very few in church. Its no wonder why it is. We need to write our congressmen , senators and the President too. Let them know how we stand. Here is my problem. No one reads this and I am talking to myself. I guess maybe a petition would be a start. How many would sign it? At least we could have voted weather we wanted Him to stay or not. That is what this country is about right? Well I pity the person who decided to oust Him (God that is), can you picture him or her or both on judgement day. What does the bible teach? He who speaks for Me , I will speak to my Father for him and he that Deny's Me I will also deny them. Think about it. It's time get things together. God loves us. Let us love God. Bless you all.
A new begining
Well Christmas is over and a New Year has begun. I will begin my New Year by praising God. I do believe sooo much . I will try to be a little less boastful. I just can't help myself. I know He is with me. I just pray I am worthy. I am going to tell you a little about myself. What a sinner I was and am. I had a abortion back in 1973 . It was so hard for me to move on from that and never thought God would find in his heart the forgiveness I so desire. I do pray for God's forgiveness everyday, but what is important is I know, He will forgive me. I want other people like me to know that too.( Seek and ye shall find). In the old testament which I started reading about a month ago, it seemed to me "How self righteous God is. Now that's a funny statement because you see He is righteous. But, the more I read I began to understand what He is saying to us. I remember my mom telling me not to start at the beginning of the bible just to open the book and start reading where ever that takes me, it worked for her, but being me I had to start at the beginning and go straight through. As I read I would open the bible and pray " God opened my eyes and Heart and soul so I could understand", well I guess He had to test me because at first nothing came to me. I was very sad . I started to think God does not care about me , but then I kept on reading and slowly all began to come together. I know there are very many women out there that had abortions and are lost, Please do not let Satan have his way with you. Fight back and know you are worthy of Gods favor. God Loves you all so much He gave His only son Jesus Christ to the cross to save people like us and others. Please make Him Proud of you. Come back to Him who created you. Who loves you. I have not been a saint in my life time , in 1973 I had my abortion , in 1979 I started thinking about the Lord and ever since I've felt better , whole again. Life is really tough enough without judging yourself. Leave that up to the Boss. Try to save others from making the same decisions we did and above all Love the Lord. Another mistake I made was being ashamed of my self, we learn so much if only we listen. When talking to people don't force them into thinking like you do, be understanding and just listen and say what you yourself went through. If they would rather think you are the self righteous one, than back off a little and just say How much you care about them. Tell them if they ever need to talk to contact you. You will be there for them . Just take one day at a time , after all that is all we are promised. God Bless and take care .
I must stand up for America!
I feel I must stand up for America , So many other Countries put America down and I understand why. All they see is the glamour on the big screen and the media's talk. Well, to be honest with you most Americans don't live like that. Only a few. Most of us go to church and pray and try to help others . All the hype to come to America and get rich is bull. A lot of us live in poor areas, a lot of children go to bed hungry, Can't find clothing to stay warm. Our Gas prices to heat our homes and electric are outrageous. The cost of food is so bad that we eat the fattest and cheapest foods around like pasta or potatoes. I know what you are thinking "at least you have something to eat" But being fat kills too and that is if you are the lucky ones to get the fats.
I have a daughter with an autistic son who has to stay home with him because he is to hyper to find a sitter that has the patients to take care of him . She can not find work because of this. She is not getting much help out side of me. I watch him so she can go to the doctors but not many other times because of my health. He is hard for me to keep up with. Instead of hating us , we all need to pull together and help one another. We will make it because God helps them that help them selves.
But I just hate it when I hear thing like the "American devils or American pigs". America has been there for everyone in all the wars, we collect food , clothing and medicines, And love. Give us a break. Back us for a change.
Now to our Government, Lets get serious there are a few things I disagree with and I hope new President elect Obama some how will read this. Stop spending what we don't have , lets work within our means. We owe so much money we will never see daylight. Lets payoff the deficit. I know we must pay the bills at hand. Like s.s., the repair on the roads , and dams, create new jobs since OUR government sent them all overseas (what were they thinking) I also know that the unions did that by demanding so much. But we need to bring the jobs back. Before we do, we need to STOP all gang actions here in the USA. Stop the drugs! I remember reading where an American youth defaced a building in another country and was caned or publicly flogged for it. You know maybe that is what is needed here. Maybe , they the children see that and see the consequences that must be rendered will get them on the straight and narrow path. Jobs, politeness,Common Courtesy and to pay their dues. In turn maybe They would pay some taxes and give the government something to work with. I know it sounds harsh but our jails are full and it is getting ridiculous when you can't even go into town with out being approached to buy drugs or shot by some punk. Or go back to the old days and put them in the Army. To be retrained and appreciate life more. Think about it.
Another area is: politicians need to stop taking extra perks. It is stealing from the people of this wonderful country. It is against Gods commandments! Also You (the government) raised taxes on gasoline to fix the roads and bridges , I for one as broke as I am would not mind a ten cent raise per gallon to pay off the deficit as long as that is where the money is going. At least the part that we owe other countries. And the war WOW what a mess that turned out to be. We not only pay for their war with our money but with the lives of our citizens. It is time to stand up and be accounted for.Oh well, I guess I just wanted to ramble on.
Just a thought from Lodi
I have a daughter with an autistic son who has to stay home with him because he is to hyper to find a sitter that has the patients to take care of him . She can not find work because of this. She is not getting much help out side of me. I watch him so she can go to the doctors but not many other times because of my health. He is hard for me to keep up with. Instead of hating us , we all need to pull together and help one another. We will make it because God helps them that help them selves.
But I just hate it when I hear thing like the "American devils or American pigs". America has been there for everyone in all the wars, we collect food , clothing and medicines, And love. Give us a break. Back us for a change.
Now to our Government, Lets get serious there are a few things I disagree with and I hope new President elect Obama some how will read this. Stop spending what we don't have , lets work within our means. We owe so much money we will never see daylight. Lets payoff the deficit. I know we must pay the bills at hand. Like s.s., the repair on the roads , and dams, create new jobs since OUR government sent them all overseas (what were they thinking) I also know that the unions did that by demanding so much. But we need to bring the jobs back. Before we do, we need to STOP all gang actions here in the USA. Stop the drugs! I remember reading where an American youth defaced a building in another country and was caned or publicly flogged for it. You know maybe that is what is needed here. Maybe , they the children see that and see the consequences that must be rendered will get them on the straight and narrow path. Jobs, politeness,Common Courtesy and to pay their dues. In turn maybe They would pay some taxes and give the government something to work with. I know it sounds harsh but our jails are full and it is getting ridiculous when you can't even go into town with out being approached to buy drugs or shot by some punk. Or go back to the old days and put them in the Army. To be retrained and appreciate life more. Think about it.
Another area is: politicians need to stop taking extra perks. It is stealing from the people of this wonderful country. It is against Gods commandments!
