I am not lost --------

• I have had a few days off from blogging and writing
• I had Miss Sidney on an overnight Saturday
• and some how Meme ended up on the mat on the floor
• she woke up and her lips had stuck together
• just being to dry and she had a little blood
• if frightened her more than hurt
• so Meme got the vaseline out and we got
• them smooth again
• but it took her a while to go back to sleep
• and she ended up in Meme's bed
• trying to sleep with Miss Sidney
• is like sleeping with bouncing ball
• so Meme crawled down on the mat--LOL
• nice and warm down there and cozy
• but no one told me I had to get up again
• I guess I am too old for being down so far
• at any rate- Meme rearranged her shoulder
• which hurts and now has gone down my side
• so I am whining and not feeling up to sitting
• up like a lady --
• 3 days now so I am hoping that it will
• all just go away soon.....
• Miss Sidney went home happy and
• with smooth lips - the joys of being grandma
• some times has ups and downs
• so I will leave you with a Miss Sidney thought
• that she told her dad
• ""Oma, has glue to UN do your lips and blood
• will not stain your fingers- "" LOL
• huggles from Meme aka Oma

sharing - I found a blessing..........

while continuing to clean out things in the house,
I found a 2 lovely pictures of Papa David Hubby--
that were taken in 1966 the spring before I met him-
I did not know he had these pictures with his box of stuff..
.I am so happy that I am ''high''--LOL
-they are so precious and I will take them down this week
and make copies for the girls--
as they do not have pictures that old or before us or them---
--he was so handsome-- and cute and--------blond
I was a bit shallow at that time as I was so young-like just barely 18(that summer) -so I went out with him for his looks and his car--LOL
and love came to stay with us-and we were married in October--(1966).

I have been cleaning odds and ends in the house
for a couple of years now- a day here and a day there*going through all those boxes where one tends to stuff things for later..........
..and these were in one of papa hubby's evelopes that he kept special things-I never went into his things before his death as we were very respective of each other's private things-----he was the same with me.

it has taken me about 2 years to get where I am
( cleaning things we gathered over the years but knew we were keeping )
--and I found 10 dollars tooso that will help pay for the pictures to give the girls copies-
I want to do them for Easter gifts----
-what a family blessing!--hugs from Meme

Meme is getting soft.........

• due to health problems Meme has to start eating soft foods
• or well cooked ........so much for salads-and carrot sticks too
• and it got me to thinking about
• how my life is rather soft
• compared to the old days
• which we look back on fondly
• but I am not sure I would be able
• to live that way again
• there is something nice about
• turning up the heat
• turning on a tap
• pushing buttons on dishwashers and
• buttons on stoves
• and listening to the flush
• our old days were good
• but they were hard work
• too and I can see
• now how hard mom and dad
• had to work to make a living
• so we could eat and etc.
• even as they grew old they
• had to make due with old ways
• I am grateful for the blessings
• that I have that make my life
• much easier-
• and especially now when
• Meme has to go soft

Meme sends soft hugs.......

Dogman speaks...

Dogman felt left out so he wants you to know

that he lives here too

and if he had only seen the kitty first--hahaha

he really does not mind cats as long as they stay

on the other side of the fence-

here he is on his old kitchen rug but we had

to buy him a new one as his nails would

get caught so he upgraded- the floor is too cold for him in the kitchen

with Alberta winters.........

so we have an area rug- sigh- I am beginning to think we do a lot

for him-LOL

his own chair- his own rug-

his own corner--his own special diet- wow

no wonder he thinks he is the top dog in this house-

hugs from Meme and Dogman who is does not believe in simplicity-----
