Another Monday...all is quiet here now....
peaceful.....my mind is wondering.
I had a good Sunday with all of my family...
celebrating Tania's birthday....
thinking back over the years....
she was my first.....
we had a lot of good times together....
we were like buddies....did everything together....
Terri came along when she was five....
loved having a baby again.
I had to go to work before she was two....
hate that I missed out on so much with her....
they can tell me so many things that happened
when they were young that I can't remember....
there is so much that I can't remember.....
I asked why was that....
Marlee..my twelve year old granddaughter
explained what she had learned in school
about the brain....and why I couldn't remember.
I love my grandchildren so much....
they are all so smart....and good kids.
Holley is eleven...getting ready for her class trip....
going to Williamsburg, VA....
just got her first cell phone....
she is getting so "grown up".
Shayna is having problems with poison ivy....
she is such a pretty sixteen year old girl....
and so compassionate....like her mom.
They are all growing up so, so fast.
Johnny came yesterday also with little Lily....
Sierra had other things to do....
I'm so glad she let Johnny bring Lily....
she is growing so much....
I don't get to see her often at all....
it's so hard to believe that my "little Johnny"
is a daddy.
My girls grew up so fast...
my grandchildren are growing up so fast...
that means one thing....I'm getting old....
maybe I shouldn't think so much.
Hope I haven't bored you with some of my thoughts
as I sit here alone this Monday morning.
I'd love to hear your alone thoughts.

Yes, you are thinking too hard. As I sometimes do. Makes me sad that I'm getting older. But if we weren't older we wouldn't have all those other blessings to enjoy.
For the poison ivy....find some wild touch me not, crush the stem and put the stem juice on the poison ivy. It will get rid of it overnight.
I guess I think about the same way you do Shirley, where has the years gone?
Hey girl..... Just checking in on some of my buddies........ I will write you a long email tomorrow if I get a chance...... I have no memory of my life from Junior in High school back..... and those memories are very skimpy....... Nothing of my childhood and teen years.... such a strange thing... Me and my older brother have had long talks about it...... We have theroiers but they are just that theories......
forgetting what is past and moving on toward the mark of the high calling.......
Love ya
the thing about growing old is, we're not alone, everyone else (if they are lucky) is growing old along with us. Try to live each day to it's fullest, so you won't have any regrets. Talk about memories, we've been transferring our home movies over to DVD. . . oh my goodness, it's hard to believe I was ever so skinny and that the kids were ever that young!
Shirley, just remember...as your little reminder says...God is in Control. I have a lot of the same thoughts...looking at my family, I think everybody does. I just pray everyday for God to protect them and guide their live's as I am sure you do, also. I found your blog while looking at Janet's.
I love you grannie! :) & My poison ivy is gone now, I have meds for it.
