Beautiful Poem

                                                 For You Schizz, hope you are doing fine tonight
                                                 Love you

Profound Meaning

                                                   

My Love And Prayers Are For You Too, Schizz

                                                      For many people I have known in my life, its been the little things that matter.  Everything I have been through, I have learned that the best blessing are the people around me. They have given love and support , have worried about me and my kids and for all that I am so very grateful.  I know it is what truly makes me wealthy, not in money but in friendship.  There are days that sometimes that I don't see all their love so clearly.  Life sometimes brings my spirit down as it does for all of us .  I thank God for all of you especially Schizz, who don't have to be concerned about me but is, thank you, I think about you as you are always in my thoughts and prayers, you can know that for sure...love you very much!

                         "sometimes the simplest moments hold the most profound truths", not sure who said it, but I really love it!

I Know Its Late But I Wanted To Send My Love

For you Schizz.  I just wanted to tell you , that I am thinking about you, always do!

I know its now Monday, Hope and Pray you have a good day today!

Be Safe

Hi Schizz, How Are You Today?

                                               I am so glad to hear from you through your blog.  It means so much to the kids and I, especially me, being a little selfish I admit, but its true.    I bet it is really nice up there and the beaches are crowded.  I really enjoy relaxing on the beach.  Here, there is a great deal of trees around the beaches.  You can say its really green and when the sun is out,it gives a cheery bright appearance to the foliage .  There are flowers here and there from the old homesteads that used to occupy the area before they were torn down.   I don't know how far away the ocean is from you, I know its close.  I wonder if you can catch a hint of fragrance from the water.  I don't know, I have never seen the ocean.
                                                It has been so warm, and it will continue until the fourth of July. My son is going to march in the parade with the rest of The Band Of Pride.  My daughter is going to start cross-country training next month as well.  I still have to stay after her to eat more,particularly before she runs or exercises .  Me, I am taking supplements, mainly diabetes vitamin support, to help me watch what I eat, got to really watch that now that I am getting older and  borderline.
                                                Its funny, you have heard of "Going Green" well I am going gray, I like "going silver" better (Ha-Ha).  It is tough to keep my hair the same color it used to be.  Its too harsh on my hair, drys it out .  I have to stir clear of those permanent hair dyes and stick with the ones that wash out..What to do, let it go naturally or color it like it was.  I am still doing my artwork, you know that, I like to do a portrait of your mom and dad and of you, but I 'd rather illustrate it when you are around, just seems right.
                                              Please take care of yourself, be safe, I love you so much!

For My Dad's Birthday..

                                                Coming this September 18, my dad will turn eighty.  He has dropped hints about a party celebrating this mark in his life.  I get so tickled at him as he and his best friend are both turning eighty in September, only his friend turns first, but he doesn't want a birthday party as he put it "They thrown one for me..I'm not coming".
                                                Now, we as his kids like to torment our parents, so I joked with dad and asked him if he wanted mom to jump out of a cake (I should know better by now not to urge dad on to these ideals..but oh well) "Sure" he said with a big smirk on his face  " wearing a bikini ".   Now keep in mind this conversation is being held on the porch of the house and mom is within ear-shot of this taunting.  From inside of the house my sister and I hear "Right, that ought to be a sight to see"  Dad is sitting in his chair laughing.
                                               After dad left the porch to do something in the garage, mom came out and sat with the kids, my sister and I.  The conversation shifted a little to a discussion on  the family reunion coming up September 14,  just few days away from dad's birthday.  I told mom we should just give him his birthday cake then.   Mom wasn't sure of that,. I look over at my sister, having the same grin on her face as dad always carries on his face and says "We ought to have Scott (our nephew) jump out and do his stripper dance".
                                               To clarify, my nephew likes to joke around, like he tells us "You just can't stay sad or angry around me because I can make you laugh"  That's how he can irritate his mom but also make her smile in the same moment.  His favorite thing to do is imitate male fashion models along with his rendition of "Batman"  Of course not at the same time, although that would be funny.
                                               Doing those fashion model poses with his own music is what my sister was thinking of.  Have mom hide and have my nephew jump out.  I have to admit, that is a great ideal, dad would be surprised, needless to say.  

I Understand What You Are Saying IM Schizz..I Pray I do Anyway..

                                               I have been pondering over your Blog Post "First Song On Belle" and since I can't bring it up for whatever the reason is.  I think I know what you had written .  I remember reading one of your old blogs a few years back on how you and your daughter used to watch "Beauty and The Beast" when she was so young.  I know those memories very well, I wrote about how my son and I watched "Tarzan" .      Disney  movies seem to have a very special bond between family members..you know sharing them together.
                                              My dad had his favorite Disney movie, I remember mom telling us that when my brother played "The Bare Necessities" in seventh grade concert band.  The movie was "Jungle Book".  My mom never really mentioned her favorite but she would always watch "Lady And The Tramp or Bambi" with my nephew .     When we were young, dad took us to see "The Rescuers and Robbin Hood (animated in animal characters).  My favorites  "Cinderella but The Little Mermaid"  mostly because of the music.  My daughter loved "Mulan"    When I was a sophomore in High school  I did a report on Disney Animation.  It had always intrigued me how "Snow White " was the first full length animated motion picture.  I always wanted to go into animation but never seemed to catch on to the technique.  Now everything is done on the computer, not hand drawn like it was in the early years.
                                            You know I think we really never loose that connection , whether its between our parents and us or our children and ourselves.  They are wonderful memories and as we grow older they become more precious.  That we never outgrow, I know Mom and dad still share memories from their childhood.
                                            Ironically, I remember when my late husband Jeff and I were dating, I bugged him to take me to see "Beauty And The Beast" when it first came out ( an artist thing...right?) he grumbled but indulged me.  After we were married, the film was one of the first VHS movies to come into our collection, I still have it ,although, I haven't played it since the kids were real small.
                                          I like to remember the good times, I know so much has changed, some of those in our lives back then are gone.  I know more good memories are out there Schizz, if it hadn't been for you, I think I would had never been able to through my husband's death and I mean that in a good way.   You encouraged me to forge on to the future and made me realize that I had so much to live for.  There is life still to be lived, I thank you and love you for that..You have always kept your wits about you.  Over the years I have been able to appreciate you much better!   I do love you so very much, they aren't just words, its the truth!

Proud Of You Too IM SCHIZZ

                                              No doubt, you have to be one of my favorite guys to brag about other than my brothers and my dad!         Love you so very much Schizz, you are the man who fills my thoughts even though you are so far away, I miss your East Coast Accent!

The East Coast Accent

                                  My Great- Nephew has The East Coast Accent already, his mom says that he pronounces park as pahhk and that he gets it genetically.   After all that is where she is originally from, so that is true.

                                                     Blue Limestone Park, Delaware, Ohio

Maybe If Mel Brooks Remade This...Just Like The Campfire Scene In Blazing Saddles!

 Please Pardon Me!

Water, Water Everywhere Not A Drop To Drink...I Wouldn't Anyway.

                                             Gosh has it been raining this week, we finally got a break today.  The only things enjoying it is the weeds.  Darn things.  So far this has been a wet , humid summer and it looks like its going to continue in July too.  The kids and I have been helping my parents with weeding out their green beans out in the garden.  My nephew who was sick a few weeks back, has been doing better, in fact he came over ans roter-tilled the garden for them.  And like usual, the mosquito's have been out in full force.
                                            Things for the most part have been getting somewhat better
                                   Hi IM SCHIZZ.  HOPE AND PRAY MY FAVORITE GUY IS DOING OK and things up where you are at are ok.  Please take care of yourself and stay dry, I try to do the same here!

                                                           Love you very much SCHIZZ

Mighty Lumber Jack Woman

                                                      I had to tell this story.  My sister wasn't happy with the job her son did in cutting down her tree.  He left a little more stump than what she wanted.  So last Sunday she was over at our parents house for dinner and told us that she was going to borrow my brother's chainsaw.  Well, many times over my other sister and my mom had gone out with a little saw to cut off dead branches from the trees around the house.  I have joked about how I should find a song to match them...well I did find the one song I was looking for.
                                                     How it matches my sisters and my mom.  It is amazing that , all of us talked my sister out of using a chainsaw because she is so little in stature and chainsaws can be dangerous if a person loses control of them just a little.  So my brother spend over two hours talking my sister into waiting to use it, giving the standard safety lecture .  I am assuming things went ok because I didn't hear anything bad.
                                                This song is for my sisters and my mom..Small but mighty women!
                        My dad and my brother need to hide those things better...lol

                               

Had To Post This For You IM SCHIZZ!

                                                    Thought you might need this sometimes!

 Love you so much!

More Summer Memories

                                              Summer time for me as a kid was spent listening to the radio most of the time. Families we hadn't seen for a longtime would come visit us, we would go to either "Cedar Point or Kings Island" Theme parks when dad was on vacation.  Bailing hay in July, helping grandpa out, watching old home movies on the side of the barn on the 4th of July with grandpa running the projector.  That day wouldn't be complete without sharing a watermelon.  My grandpa always could pick them.  My sister has that knack too
                                             In those days, my Grandpa Havens had three vehicles that stick out in my mind.  Where as my dad is a Ford Person, my Grandpa Havens was a Chevy man.  My dad and grandfather always kidded each other , anyway.  My grandpa had a Chevy Malibu, Little Luv Truck and an old 1972 Chevy pick-up truck with a cup on the back which he pulled his 1976 Star Craft 21 foot boat.
                                           To complete his old '72' truck, he replaced the large steering wheel with a smaller Camaro steering wheel.  He was so proud of that.
                                           Every summer, my Grandpa Havens would go up to Lake Erie to a place called "Port Clinton".  There he would relax a bit and get in a little fishing off of the lake.  I remember my sisters, my brother and I going with him one year to spend a couple days the summer of 1978.
                                          My sister brought her tape recorder and a tape she had recorded songs off of the radio and I brought my trusty little radio, my Grandpa Havens gave me.   Back then we could ride in the bed of the truck because it had a cap on it and so that's what we did.
                                          I was reminded of that day listening to my car radio.  Its funny how songs can take one back to a time in ones childhood like that but it did and it was sure nice.  I hope that this brings you happy memories too SCHIZZ, LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Very similar to my grandpa's old "72" truck, without the cap

   These are the songs I remember hearing on the way up to the lake, riding in grandpa's old 1972 Chevy Pick-up

Its A Nice Night, IM SCHIZZ

                                            The air is so much cooler than it has been for a while.  This week has been so hot and humid, it hasn't been this way since 1994.  Tonight the temperature is just right for sleeping.  I think that is why I am feeling so tired than normal right now.  Its late too.  I hope and pray your day has been a good one, well the whole week.  The summer is flying by so fast and boy its been a wet summer so far, next month it will be dry I bet.
                                            I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you today, hello to everyone up there in Amesbury, Ma.  Love you very much SCHIZZ!

                                             These are the best kind of roses, they don't need any water!

Needs Another Title, I Think...

                                               One of my favorite things to do other than listening to music or doing my artwork is reading poems.  I love inspirational and uplifting ones the best.  I sure could use it today; I was supposed to go in to see my doctor today and discuss my blood work.  Trouble is with me, if I make it too far in advance, I forget real easy.  I felt really ashamed about it.  It was kinda kooky on my end, when I called the doctor's office, I was already about a half hour over when I needed to be there.  When the receptionist told me, I thought I could make it in time, thinking it was just past 7 am, my appointment was 7:45 am.  I called about 8:15 am.   I told her, that was what I needed to know, which she replies.."Do you want to re-schedule ? "  It took me a few seconds to realize that I had missed my appointment ( My brain started up, more than likely if a person would have looked in my ear at that very moment, they would have maybe seen a spark, or heard a click) I simply said yes, feeling like a big heel.  So I made it for next month and this time I wrote it down immediately after getting off of the phone.  A Doctor's Time is precious because so many people depend on them.
                                                 I must have been really tired from yesterday, oh well, anyway, I found one poem that I thought was really nice, I loved the words to it and I wanted to share it with SCHIZZ, like I do .
                                        The title I think is a little too intense but the poem that follows is a prayer.  I do care about you so much SCHIZZ and love you, its true.  You are the only man I can come to and feel like myself even though, I can be shy and even though you are over 600 miles away, I can come to you here.  I am thinking about you today and hoping your day is going very well and you are feeling good too.  This is the prayer I will share with you.
                                         

May this prayer find its place in your heart as it has in mine!

A Very Long Day, Hope You Had A Good Day Though SCHIZZ

                                      Having teenagers in the house can be a two day long event of driving.  My son spent overnight at his cousin's house while my daughter had a sleep over with one of her friends here at the house .    Today she spend the day with two friends and I at Delaware Beach.  My son rode his bike over to his cousins and didn't get home until about six pm.
                                      While my son visited with his cousin, The girls and I swam.  I really got my exercising in today and boy am I tired.   I really felt my age watching all these "Younger" people around me swim and play at the beach.  It wasn't really crowded, in fact it was peaceful.  I spent an hour and a half just swimming by myself while girls hang around each other just a few yards away .  "The teenage thing".
                                      Anyway, I have been getting the hang of just swimming , just has taken me almost 48 years to do it and still, I am pretty poor at it, but I hand fun practicing on my own .
                                     You know how U.S 23 is, Indy 500...its just a straight shot from where I live to the beach.  Seems like every time I go, someone is trying to cross over to one side or another...you have to be kidding me.  I wouldn't cross 23 even if I was in full football gear,  dressed up like the Michelin Tire Dude or padded like "The Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man".    One thing for sure is if  "The Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man " were to cross 23, he'd be more than a smear on the pavement, he'd be a S'more ......oooo is that ever a poor joke, You can tell I am tired.
                                    Hope and pray you are doing ok SCHIZZ, I am always thinking about you. Love you so very much with all my heart!!!!!  Sleep well and have a great day tomorrow!

Come On Get Happy-SMILE SCHIZZ-Somebody Loves You!

               Back in 1988-89, maybe even earlier than that, remember all the commercials about raisins,especially ''The California Raisins."  Want to hear something funny, I actually bought "The California Raisins" soundtrack because I loved the songs on it.  I think when I bought it, the clerk thought I was nuts, I worked at "Big Bear" at the time in "The Bulk Food" department.  A little laughter helped get me through a long day, when it was slow mainly, I would think to myself while cleaning or stocking.  Most of the thoughts were on " Meet The Raisins ,The Video" they made, of course where the soundtrack came from.  My sister bought it....ha..ha..I guess we all were a little childlike, but it was fun anyway.
              My nephew Scott  loved it when he was little !  He got laughing about it on Father's Day when my sister brought it up.   You have to smile and chuckle at some of the odd things we do, well have done  SCHIZZ.  I found the old video, the puns are classic, you gotta love it and I hope it gives you a smile on those trying days when happiness is scarce or maybe when you are just feeling blue.  Smile SCHIZZ somebody loves you, I know I posted that poem which stated "I enjoy the days we spend together" I know that doesn't really fit right now, but the time we spend together here in cyberspace and years ago, still count, I treasure those times.  This somebody and her kids here think you are tops and love you..mainly me.  I know I stand in line with a great deal of wonderful people in your family who think the same thing too!
            Love you so very much IM SCHIZZ!

Just Remember SCHIZZ

                                                           Love You So Very Much!

                                      The kids have been off and on the computer, I have to take advantage of the                                                                        opportunity to use it whenever I can!

FOR IM SCHIZZ!-SMILE

                                              NUMBERS 6:25-26
                             The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
                              A recent study concluded that smiling can be good for your health.  Research shows that smiling slows down the heart and reduces stress.  Smiles, someone said blesses those on the receiving end ,tell others that you like them, pleased with them, give a hug to someone with love without giving them the slightest touch and is a hint of the image of God in us.
                                                I Like That!
                        You are always on my thoughts and prayers because I love you SCHIZZ, please take care of your heart and SMILE!
                                                             You are loved very much!

                                          Me at the beach,  Do You Love my swimsuit (Ha-Ha)

So Confusing , Hi SCHIZZ

                                 Today will be the coolest one this week, it hit almost 90, the rest of the week, it will be 90 or better.  Just seems like the year is already a month older with temperatures this high.   The kids and I had a nice Father's Day with my family.  I got to see everyone, well just about.  Hope and pray that Your Father's Day was a good one and you got to see everyone in your family SCHIZZ, I was thinking of your day too.  I have an odd title for my blog, I know.
                               My nephew was over after spending a few days in Children's Hospital.  They have ruled out Diabetes, Thyroid and some other ailments and still they aren't sure whats going on.  His pancreas is ok though.  It can be so confusing and frustrating as a parent, not understanding why these things happen.  My nephew is over 6 foot tall at the age of 17.  They had put him on a diet, which to me sounds odd to me because he is thin anyway, but I am not an expert .
                               Just today in my e-mail, I got some medical advice on how to ditch dairy, seems like anything you eat anymore causes health issues.  My brother wants to raise chickens now, somehow I don't think that will last too long.  It does make you sure want to be more and more in the business of raising food for yourself to keep from getting sick .  We called them "Farmers"  didn't we?
                               But for the American Farmer, who get paid by bulk production, new ways to mass produce seem well for science," crippling ".  
                             The thought is overwhelming on what is to do and not to be done when it comes to our health, more ways than one, I guess.   Simply, just do the best that we can for ourselves and for all the ones we love.    I hope and pray you are taking care of yourself SCHIZZ,
                             My thoughts, love and prayers are with your family, love you so very much!

Happy Father's Day SCHIZZ , Thinking Of You Today!

                                     For all the dad's in our lives that have inspired us, gone before us and those still with us.   I am truly blessed to have so many I can wish this day to in my family.  I want to send out a special greeting to Sir. Anthony SCHIZZ and his family.  Happy Father's Day My Dear SCHIZZ, Love you and wish I could be there with all my heart on this day.  Please have a wonderful day, I am thinking of you all the while!     Love you so very much!

Happy Birthday Wells

                                    I gave my son the longest name.  I was thinking about all the important male influences in my life and would be important to my son one day.  So, my son was named after my dad's father figure's his Uncle John Price and my mom's dad William Edward Havens, Edward was used by my brother and sister for their sons.  I wanted to use my dad's name somehow Kay Cavada and my late husband' dad's name, Gary but I didn't want to leave out my late husband's though.  Nine months gave Jeff and I time to work on this.  I wanted to use William Jonathan, but Jeff said well it sounded better as Jonathan ( the spelling coming from the bible) William, Wells was hyphenated after William for my dad's name and of course my son carried his dad's and Gary's born last name.  So that's how my son got his name.  I remember Pastor Gephart when baptizing my son said "That is some name"  My Great Aunt Charlotte loved his name,being especially sentimentel since she lost her brother, my grandpa, William, the same time my dad's Uncle John in this very month back in 1987.  It was a rough year, My Great Uncle John passing just a day after Father's Day and my Grandpa, June 28.  Its nice that my son shares the same birth date his great grandpa Havens birthday fell on, only grandpa's birth month was march.
                                     It would be my daughter who would have a name similar to her Grandpa Gary,
(Gearald Eugene) Carianne Janay.  It worked out well, not only did her name follow in the same manner as her Grandpa Gary, but Carianne was a Haven's name sake, to her Great, Great Grandpa Charles Haven's twin sister, Carrie Ann.  A name my grandma Sarah Havens always liked and wanted one of her daughters to use, but never did.
            While signing my son up for driver's ed, the driver's instructor asked him, if he called him "Wells" would he answer?  My son smiled and said "Yes"
                                    Happy birthday to my special son, on this special day, there is no other like you, mom loves you so much, and is so proud of you as well!

Finally Everyone Is Home...

                Mom called me yesterday and told me that both my aunt and my nephew were home from the hospital and now its waiting on the results.  Everyone has been there I think.  I helped my neighbor by taking her to her doctor yesterday.  I think she is trying to make a real effort to get off of the liquor . I know she had to because she had to take some meds that her doctor issued for her.   I know typically she is  independent but having toes removed and having another round of gout can put an end to that real quick.  I think I am boring to her because I am a homebody, I don't drink or smoke or socialize, but hey, I'm fine with that.
               The older men around here, even ones my age are REALLY STRANGE, I used to walk around the pond until two of them kept hitting on me.., now I walk the other way.  My neighbor, she said the one guy just came up and kissed her on the lips, well she made the mistake in sitting with him on his porch...yikes! "No I don't think so Tim" gosh is that an old phrase from "Home Improvement".  I just keep remembering that I have made my loyalties to SCHIZZ, he's the only one I love and care for, most of all trust!
               The past two days have been so beautiful, sunshine and the right temperature .  Dad gave me four tomato plants that I put out by my "Rose Of Sharon".   Its an odd mix but it works.  My dad came out to get my son to take him out for his birthday at Bob Evans.  I gave dad an early Father's Day present, two CD's one of Marty Robbins and the other Ray Price.  I told him he needed to put those out in his Ford Explorer .  It was funny because he noticed my sister take a bunch of CD's out to her "Truck" Mercury Mariner.  Dad calls it a "Tonka Toy"  compared to his "Real" Man's truck.   I got ticked because mom said he took the CD's out to his truck when he went to meet with his old childhood buddy for coffee and was playing them.  That was cute!
              Hopefully, this weekend will be a good one for all the dad's especially tomorrow, The kids and I are going over to have a cookout with dad, hopefully I'll get to see my brother too, my second dad,Gary, the kids and I sent him a little care package.  I am sure he'll have plenty of visitors this weekend (The crew, I really don't feel comfortable with).  I wish I could see SCHIZZ tomorrow to wish him A Happy Father's Day, its a day special to him too!  I know that this year will be difficult one for him and his family without their dad, grandpa and great grandpa. I'll be sending my love and prayers their way as well as a special greeting tomorrow!

Smile My Schizz!

                                                       You Are The Music Of My Heart,
                                                             Love You So Very Much!
                                                     Hope You Are Having A Good Day!

It's Thursday Again.

                                   Seems like this week went fast, soon it will be "Father's Day" and my son's 16th Birthday.  Hard to believe, but here I am.  Yesterday when I was at the bank to get money out to pay for my car repairs, a little girl came up to me and told me that I was pretty.  It kinda startled me, I wasn't expecting that.  Made me feel good.  I gave her a hug back, thanked her and told her, she was a pretty girl too!  She went back to her grandma.  Being a mother with two teenagers, I surely wasn't thinking I was attractive, but it was nice to hear.  Men, seem to get more handsome the older they get, well for me, at least the one I am thinking of , Mr IM SCHIZZ.  that smile he has, just melts me down, his eyes are transfixing and his personality is captivating .    How does he do that to me..is unfair and he knows it (Ha-Ha).
                                  Anyway, to me, he's the most attractive man in the whole world!
                                                            Love you SCHIZZ!

The Most Wonderful IM, S.Anthony SCHIZZ

                           Thinking about my favorite, one and only IM SCHIZZ .  Hope and pray your family too, are doing fine.  Always know I love you very much and if I could, I would love to be with you, you know that already.   please stay safe!

So Happy To Hear From You Schizz!

                   Made my day, with all the sadness going on around me, you gave me some sunshine, THANK YOU!  My son is starting driver's ed, at A.C.E Town and Country off of Lake street where the old Farmer's Exchange , Grandpa used to take his grain there when we were growing up.
                    Gosh, I am so not ready for this, one lady told me that the first one to drive is always the hardest to get used too...Its like taking a big step...I don't have a car anymore, he pigs it up,but mom can't complain too much.  He does real well!  
                   I think its wonderful that you put the flags out on the graves, I never really got a chance to do that maybe right after Jeff passed away.  I think what you did was awesome!  Been using that word a lot.  Hit the vitamin C hard and its working to get rid of this cold...ha..ha!
                  It means a great deal to hear from you again you know that I was going to say that anyway. I know too, this coming weekend will be a rough one for you and your family, my love and payers go out to all of you, Love You Sir Anthony...SCHIZZ!!  One and only!!!!!

Memorial To Connie.

                                        Wanted to add a little more to her memory, she is at the same funeral home that my late husband Jeff was at.  Love and prayers to all of her family!

She had been battling Brain Cancer.

Hope And Pray You Are Ok, Schizz!

                                                Love you!

Good Morning!

                Good Morning, hope and pray everything and everyone are doing fine.  We have had beautiful weather the past three days, today is supposed to rain.  My neighbor has had trouble , like her son, I wish she would give up drinking because she has been sick.  She is 56 years old and have had two toes removed and about a week ago she had a seizure.  The squad had come get her and she spent 10 days in the hospital.  I have known her since I moved here in August 2007.  She was the first one to welcome the kids and I here.  My prayers go out to her.  She is moving to Washington Court  House with her sister-in-law.  Very nice people! She is also a widow and lost her husband when their son was about eight years old.  Anyway, things are sure changing around here.  I wanted to say hello to every body and send my love to Schizz and his family in Amesbury, Ma.

When I Just Am Lost For Words To Say..In Other Words...

                                                      Love you Schizz, thinking of all of you!

God Bless The Men Who Love Their Women Even Though Not Perfect!

                        I remember before I even met my late husband, my aunt told him that I had a lazy eye that pulled outward and it may look strange.  God bless his soul, he told me that if she had never had pointed it out , he would probably never noticed it.  It's kinda weird that many people never notice it unless I say something.  It kinda hurt thinking my aunt thought I looked odd.  Not everyone is born with a perfect body, eyes,nose, legs ,etc..   Some men had looked at me and never seen my eye, while others were appalled by it.
                        Its really nice that the men that look past that, can see much more than perfected beauty on the outside of women but to the beauty inside.  Men and women alike can have a perfect body, outward attractiveness and be very ugly inside themselves.   I believe if you are beautiful on the inside , it makes you beautiful on the outside as well.   It may be so, that if we are born with imperfect bodies or if we have had illnesses or accidents that have transformed our bodies in ways that are different.  Then so what, we can always show our beauty within.  So God Bless the men who see more from the inside out in the women that they love and God Bless the women who see more from the inside out in the men that they love.
                              Love just goes beyond and over limitations to delight in the senses!

                                                                  I love this saying!

Schizz's Favorite..

                 Today I enrolled my son in driver's ed....Give me strength..honestly he does real well, some things he has to clean up on.  My brakes are starting to show it.  We came up on a red light fast and he squealed my tires hitting the brakes hard.  Its not a wonder my hair is growing grey by the minute, my roots are sure showing it, oh well it goes with the territory.  I am sure my son will do fine.  He is always finding trucks and cars in magazines that he'd like to have.  I guess he is putting the proverbial cart before the horse.
                 Today at the store, we went through the ice cream section, couldn't help but look at it..goodness it got up to 88 today.  My son, like Schizz is a Vanilla fan, got the old fashioned flavor of vanilla too.  French vanilla is my favorite in that variety .  My daughter and I are big chocolate fans.
                 I remember my dad taking us all out for vanilla ice cream and root beer every other Sunday.
      Incidentally, my day told a story last Sunday of how when he was young and owned a thirties or Forties Ford and used to take it to The A&W Drive In here in Delaware.  Some friends of his challenged him on if their Dodge Ram was faster than his Ford.  Well knowing my dad and how well he maintains his vehicles, his Ford smoked the Dodge Ram down Sandusky Street.  Back then, you could do things like that..I guess BUT if we tried that...that would have been a different story.  My dad often talks about the times at the A&W Drive Inn and how good their root beer floats were.  In the fifties , it just all fit.
          My dad is another one who loves vanilla ice cream.  All and all I think its the most popular flavor.  I just remember how much Schizz likes it too.  On days like today it sure hits the spot, no matter what variety of vanilla you like or how you like it.
               

                                                     For You Schizz..Keep Cool..Love Ya!

Hi Schizz..

            Hope and pray you are doing ok and staying cool and safe.  Pretty warm today,but its going to rain the rest of the week.  Thinking about you, like I always do.  By the way I did read some on "The Gremlin" like you had, I did find out that they had put a Hemi engine which is an awesome engine for, of course it was a "Hot Rod" magazine that my son has.  That really surprised me, so my apologies for poking fun at it.  Please take care, my love and prayers to all the family..love you!
