THINGS THAT MAKE US CRY/BITTERSWEET

If you’re a mom or grandmother, or both you will understand this short blog. Maybe dads and grandpas have the same reaction but are just better at hiding it than some of us.  

Remember when you first saw your new baby, the pride, the smile that lump in your throat as large as a bowling ball. 

How about that first step or that first word (even if it sounded like a 4 letter word you still got excited and called everyone) 

Kindergarten that was a hard one rather you drove them, walked with them or put them on the first school bus ride. You’re trying not to act stupid (that’s what’s in your mind) then you hear several different sniffs and you realize it’s not you but every other mom standing there. 

And those first questions, is there really a Santa or who is God, Where did grandpa go, is he coming back, will he see Pepsi (the old dog).  

First phone call from a boy or girl. That first date you promise not to wait up for but stubbed your toe trying to get into bed before they opened the door. Will maybe those tears were from the stub toe not the first date. J 

They let it slip they are going steady, and now need a new dress or suit for their first dance. 

The Wedding, the first grandchild and the second and  so on. I could go on a lot longer but you know I always though when I became a grandmother I would not have those moments any more but I have had many from first steps to first days at school to first broken bones (both arm at the same time).  

Yesterday I went shopping with my daughter and my grandson Jesse who starts High School in 2 weeks. Watch him and his brother grow up has been such a treat, and yes even with the bowling ball in my throat and holding back the tears I wouldn’t trade one moment of it. Yesterday we got Jesse his first Dress suite, dress shirt, dress socks, dress shoes, tie, tie clip, and dress belt.. Yep the whole Enchilada.

  For his first dance he has been invited to. With him standing there in a dark blue pin stripped suit, white dress shirt smiling, it was such a bittersweet moment. He looked so hansom and older, like he could of just walked out of an old Clark Gable or Earl Flynn move. I could hardly say a lot it so hard holding back the tears and still look cool. 

The album this time is just him and that new suite!! 

 

Peace

It's only me!!

She’s back!!!

 

 

It’s been a month since I crashed my computer and I just got it back this past weekend. You would think being off the computer I would have a lot to say. LOL but not really. There weather has been great, golfed a little spent time with family and friends and yes worked every day. I have this Friday off for my Birthday the bit “59”. Not sure where the years have gone, but they have flown by.

 

I am glad to be back and will start blog walking and trying to catch up on everyone if not this week then over the weekend.

 

Attached is the newest photo of my grandson Jesse and my god grandson Zack. Jess starts high school in two weeks that is even harder to believe than me turning 59..lolo

 

I in the process at looking at a small cottage to buy. I rent and want to buy before I retire and it would help out with taxes. Just started looking and will take my time so it may after the first of the year before I fine any thing.

 

As most of you know in June I got a new puppy. He is now 4 months old and really growing but he still like a 2 year old on a 6 pack of Twinkies.

 

I will get some new photos of him soon and put on the blog.

 

Well just wanted to let you know I was back >> I missed you all..:)

 

Peace

SHE'S BACK!!!!

Subject: Getting Old

This week is my 59th birthday and this was sent to my by one of the young men at work.

FAMILY

Three sisters ages 92, 94 and 96 live in a house together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?"
The 94 year old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come
up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses. "Was I going up the stairs or down?" The 92 year old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful," as she knocked on her wooden table for good measure. " She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

"I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!"

Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other, Windy, isn't it?" "No," the second man replied, "it's Thursday." And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a beer."

WHAT A CHOICE

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say, "Supersex." She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex." He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup."
____________________________________________

OLD FRIENDS

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me . I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

SENIOR DRIVING

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!" "Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"
______________________________________________

DRIVING

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light."
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again.
Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it.!
She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, do you know that we just ran through three redlights in a row? You could have killed us both!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Crap, am I driving?"

______________________________________________________

An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried.

The dispatcher say, "Stay calm, Maam, an officer is on the way."
A few minutes later, the officer radios in.
"Disregard.", He says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake."
