Birthday; Father-in-law

Today is #1 daughter's 37th birthday. It doesn't seem so very long ago that I was complaining about feeling old on my 37th birthday. Time flies. She is dealing with so much right now, but handling it with such grace, strength, and perseverance. Extremely proud of her. More from my Father-in-law...... Sign in to see full entry.

Father-in-law, cont.

When I arrived at the Brooklyn Receiving Station and started to school, I found out that some of my school mates from other ships, who were taking the same course I was, had rented apartments and sent for their wives.

Weekend;Father-in-law, cont.

Father-in-law

As I was cleaning out my husband's mancave, I came across some very interesting memories. One of which is a personal account of my father-in-law's life that he wrote. I thought I would share it with you all in installments. I have always heard that if and when you try to write something such as a... Sign in to see full entry.

Ugh!

Woke up this morning to a flooded basement. My husband had the water on yesterday spraying the wasp nest that those pests built inside and between my screen door and my outside door. He was trying to be helpful because everytime I opened the door I got attacked. Unfortunately, he forgot to turn off... Sign in to see full entry.

Colorado Shooting

What a terrible tragedy. My prayers are with the victims and their families, but they are also with the shooter and his family. We have mental illness in our family. My sister is schizophrenic.

grandsons

Went to one grandson's third birthday at Pump It Up - those huge inside inflatables that the kids love and the adults hate. It was fun though. Have a different three year old grandson spending the night. He is so stinkin funny. He loves my homemade granola so I made a fresh batch today. He told me... Sign in to see full entry.

Husband is home

Well, hubby is home. Feels weird. I was worried about how to learn to live on my own again and just when I feel I've reached that point, here I go again. Having to re-learn how to be married.
