Thinking About Your Handsome Face All Day!

Been thinking about you all day long...hope that is ok.   Has been a beautiful day today,some cooler air had filtered in.  That made it nice.
    I wish I was writing more thought provoking.blogs that would stimulate your mind and body but all I can think of is how I miss you,your smile, your eyes,your voice,your walk...all the charms you process .  I just feel dumbfounded, my intellectual creativity has faltered a might.  Wish I was clever as you and have that gift of poetry in my words as you do so,
  I will say I love you so much,just feel lost,empty and numb with love residing deep within myself.  Like a snow covered  cabin tucked in a cold and dark wood with a fire burning inside.
   Hope and pray everyone is doing fine and your are ok💕💋
For you always SCHIZZ, you will remain as handsome as your name Stephen

So Warm,So ....Well You Know

      If it's Antarctic winters ,its The Tropics in the summer.  Explain to me how politicians say they can control this...gee I forget? 
       Here's a refreshing tropical drink,its called a raspberry. .darn it😝
        Anyway, hope everyone in Amesbury ,Ma is keeping cool...gosh you have the nice blue Atlantic ocean right there. I have Alum Creek,Delaware beach and Lake Erie. ..but it's no comparison.
    Forgive if I seem coy when writing this..its the heat..that's my excuse and I a sticking with it.  
      The kids and I are going to Der Dutchman in Plain City Friday to have lunch with Pat and her new bow Kiser.
       Interesting, I got teasing her about how it is that every time she kisses him something happens,first Kiser threw out his back.....Hmmmm, then the second time she broke wind on him (didn't know how else to state that Without being too crude)  Man Alive! Something strange is going on..I heard of being excited BUT that's a bit excessive. ..hope that never happens to us.  Don't want to be in the Genus Book Of World Records, mercy.
    Love you Stephen, hope that makes you grin. .pray you had a good day..All my love,hugs and kisses. ..I wonder if that's too dangerous? 😃💋💖

Too funny

Hello Thoreau, How Are You!

        Hello Stephen, hope and pray you are doing well and enjoying the beauty of the park this year.   Hard sometimes when the humidity is high,beautiful for the eyes but warm for the body huh?
   I love to go outside when the weather allows me too.  The mosquitoes are so large...darn things,    a person almost has to bath in bug repellent.    Summer is always nice but fall is the best!
    You know why I called you Thoreau I bet..can't help it,I know you love what God has created in nature.
    Hope you had a good day and everything and everyone is doing fine.  Miss you terribly, love you lots!  Many hugs and kisses tonight with sweet dreams SCHIZZ 😊💋👥

Hi SCHIZZ, Hope You Are Staying Cool

  Another warm day headed I tomorrow, hope you are staying cool.  Heard about not having enough votes for the Olympic Games in Boston.   Sorry to hear that
   Mom lost another one of her friends. Maddie, she was ninety.  We went to church with her family at West Berlin. Went to school with her daughter,in fact her dad was best friends with Uncle Frank.  I have to say it,I hate getting older.
     Got to see Aunt Billie,she looks good. Her and mom were picking at each other,Aunt Billie to mom she was a grump and needed to go to bed and wake up again on the RIGHT side of the bed.   Gosh,her and mom sound like my sisters when they are testy.
   Nothing real new here other than the same crud my brother is pulling.  Mom is so upset with him.  Dad keeps waiting for a phone call from him that never comes.
     His wife snuggle puss,told mom she was awful for letting us run around on the farm and visiting our grandparents..she just needs to grow up..just wait when she becomes a mother in law and a grandmother. .ha..karma.
     Love you so much and miss you.  Please just be safe.  All my love Stephen, hugs and kisses,Love and prayers to everyone! 💋😊

Love You Good Sunday Morning!

   Good morning Stephen, early again I know,waiting for my son to get home from closing tonight at work.  I know why my parents use to pace. 
     Feeling better today, My nephews went deep sea fishing off of The Cape..caught about thirty pounds of fish I guess.  They had fun.

Hold Your Applause Until I Am Done!

Hi Stephen, sorry I didn't write last night or earlier in the day,I had to rest myself.
  Had a good time with my sisters up at the lake.  We first went to a beach in Astabula co. Ohio,  Walnut Beach,really just a cove type set up, really beautiful.   It was early and the water was rough,so we decided to drive to The Geneva Park and swim at the beach there.   Real nice place.  Boy did I have a time walking on the beach.  The sand was deep and soft.
    Well,you may be wondering why I titled this blog like I did. Now don't laugh,although
My sisters couldn't stop..Started wading into the water,three, four foot waves knocked me down,three times. They were strong!  Now you can clap...lol!
     Hope and pray everything and everyone are doing fine and you are well and safe.  Gotta say it ,hope you had a better couple days!
     Love you very much SCHIZZ.   Your are always on my mind!💋🌸

Long Day Ahead,Have A Wonderful Day!

Hello honey,hope you had a good day.  I know I have been writing early these last few days.

     I have to get up at five am to get ready to go to the beach up at the lake with my sisters today, that will be a trip and a long day.  Gonna try swimming up there.  It isn't supposed to be real warm today.
    Thinking about you and always miss you.   Pray you are doing fine and safe.
    Hope everyone is ok,
    You have a good night's rest with wonderful dreams.  Sending all my love to you with many hugs and kisses!

Rainy Afternoon And Evening. .Yet Again

Hi Stephen, hope you have managed to stay dry. Here it's  the same old thing.  Yesterday was so beautiful but today the sun has struggled to come out.
   We are supposed have high temperatures and strong to severe storms all weekend,sounds fun huh.. I thought you might want to know.  I don't know if your daughter still lives here in Ohio.
   Thought I'd give you a heads up.
      Hope and pray everyone is doing fine and you are taking care of yourself.  Nothing new here to report..just wish the national news was better. What is new about that anymore.
      Hope your day was good and things went well.  My daughter finished up her first week of band camp and Jon he has to work the weekend
      Saturday looks about the same either way as it always does..excitingly boring,can't do a thing when it is hot,humid and rainy.  Only stay indoors.
       Here's wishing you a better beautiful Saturday.   I will write tomorrow.   Have a good relaxing night ok sweet SCHIZZ.
All of my love,including hugs and kisses 💋💋
     If we were going out tonight,I'd wear for you👠👗🎀💄😀

Hello Stephen, Hope You Had A Great Day

My phone keeps telling me that it's publishing my last blog..well that's been well over three hours ago, so I will write again what it was about.
      Today was really good. Would you believe I am hand sewing Barbie doll cloths..you can laugh at that if you want.  I wanted to fix some of the dolls up that were Cariannes'.
         It kinda bites because I have invested in porcelain dolls over the years from Franklin Mint..hah,that was a joke.it turns out that was a waste. They are hardly worth a thing.  So I decided just to fix the ones I have porcelain or not,just for artist fun.   I got to start back with my paintings and illustrations.   For Scott's 21st birthday the 25th, I am doing a portrait of old Blue Eyes.  That what he requested.   He likes those older coroners.  My sister is giving him a surprise birthday party.  I know he will appreciate it.
    Actually he's up or going to be in your area with his brother,sister in law and nephew very soon...well in the same state.  The Cape.
      Its sorta funny, after I watched a parody of an old movie about a romance built around a lighthouse and writing you,I had the most wonderful dream.  Hope you don't find it too Silly.
       I dreamt I went to see you and you were a lighthouse keeper.  It was such a pleasant dream...I could see you as plain as day, you were happy to see me as I was with you.  We talked and watched the ships come into the harbor by the light you were sending.  We were just enjoying each other' s company ,nothing raunchy or dirty.  You and I just held onto each other...it was so great..it was one of those dreams that a person has that you never want it to end or better still to be real.  Those are the best!
     It really made my day and when I woke up , the air temperature was right and the sun was out..just was a good day.
      Hope and pray you had the same kind of day and everyone and everything are ok..Hope it brings a smile to your heart...I love you Stephen..I will check on you tomorrow SCHIZZ! 💖💋

Good Morning Stephen

Have a good day today.  Supposed to have severe storms,fun,fun. Hope and pray your weather day is better.  My folks and my sisters are fine.  My daughter starts band camp,my son and I have to get license plates and tags for the Explorer.
Talk to you later today,love you so very much..Have a good one,love,hugs and kisses! 💋

Pleasant Evening To You My Dear Stephen

       Hope your day went well for you and your evening pleasant.
        Saw my neighbor, Marybeth.  Almost lost her.  She was in the hospital two months and rehab for five weeks.  She seems like she is holding up well.
   First good news I had for a while.  She always makes me laugh with her colorful language.   God Bless her,her spirits are so great.
      Thinking about how you are getting along,miss you so,so much.  You always have the ability to change my mood, like I can be so down,see you and I will sing a song a whole week,you are the only man who can do that.  Without you,I just go though the motions of the day.  I know I have written that so many times but upon my life its true.
       I was painting a picture on canvas with oil tonight. Haven't done artwork in oil paint for a while.
  Aunt Billie is going to try to place some of my work on consignment with a lady who frames the portraits that I do for Aunt Billie.   Guess she has a shop or something.   It's something. .huh?
      You have a great nights rest with very sweet dreams. All my hugs,kisses and love. Hi to everyone.  Love you SCHIZZ

A Forgotten Hero, To All Forgotten Heroes

                                        I gave my father a painting for Father's Day of him when he was in the army.  My dad is a Korean war vet.  When I was growing up ,going to school, not much was said about the Korean conflict.  It was only during my senior year in High School that talk about the experiences and history of The Vietnam War started to crop up.   M.A.S.H the popular TV series was the only mention of The Korean War at the time, that even dealt with the subject so close to what my father went through and even that at best was from a medical standpoint. Although some of their story lines took a soldiers point of view.   Many terms were used to describe the war in Korea, "A Police Action" and "The Forgotten War".  Now a days, you hear talk about Vietnam, but hardly anything if any of The Korean War.
                                     In the Army, dad was a Ranger and a Sergeant.  He also worked on tanks.  Got his GED and Mechanical College Training there as well.  My father had little opportunities growing up but took advantage of them while serving his country.  I am proud of my dad and so are so many others who followed and keep following in his foot steps.  It really doesn't take long to bump into someone who knows my dad in Delaware, Ohio.  To my children he has been a dad .  So he isn't a celebrity in the "Hollywood " term or even a nationwide public figure, he's just a hometown hero and hometown friend.  Well maybe a little fame with his music, stretching just into West Virginia on local radio shows and TV programs.    Just a couple days back, he told the kids and I how he and his friends, his adopted sisters Jean and Ellie got their big break by winning a talent contest at The Ohio State Fair out of seventy five participants.
                                    Its like my mom said just a couple days ago "Nobody knows all he has walked, that they should judge him" She surely stands by him with great conviction, very devoted lady.
                                    I know that the last few days I have let out a lot of hurt that my brother and his family have inflicted.  I can't really place any wrong doing on my family's part, seeing all that we have gone through together, and just to be accused of something that simply unfounded, is despicable.   For years its been building, pushing us all away, the "My way or the highway attitude"  We have always shared in our celebrations with them, going around their schedules, changing menus to please them, helping them when they needed help, only ignored,criticized and humiliated as just reward.   Just using this incident as an excuse to ignore us completely for the sake of pride,jealousy and selfishness.  Most people usually enjoy having two parties, especially from people who love them.  It shows them how appreciated they are.  In turn the person should be appreciative.
                                    I think of that word because, I can't think of any other word to describe how I feel about dad's sacrifice.  Not to mention all Veterans, including my late husband.  I think of my great grandpa Charles M Havens who bought the farm, my grandpa William E Havens dropping out of his junior year to help farm the land to feed the family.  How about my grandpa and his father building the barn. Great grandpa, my grandpa and their brothers Raymond, Milton and Brooks Havens working the land.  How about the support from their sister Charlotte when my grandpa died in 1987, the only grandfather we had.  Lastly my mother sharing her inheritance of land so my brother and his family could build a house next to my parents on five acres so they can have the privilege of treating all of us like dirt !
                                 For the few days after my brother showed his true colors, all my sister Vick could say after being hurt was.."He was angry"..Well, " I am angry too, angry that they could act that way, sorry I am not going to say please either, nor am I going to apologize for something my family and I never did ..am I hurt? hurt that we could be accused of being insensitive when they should know better but most of all Hurt, for my family hurting from thoughtless words coming out of idle tounges"
                             We are too blunt?..oh my what a crime, I'd rather have someone blunt and honest with me than someone who goes behind my back and then candy coat their actions. As I recall, Christ used blunt people and they were great people " Peter" and Paul who began as Saul Of Tarsus "   Just to name a few . They were heroes, still are and I am happy to rank among them, Thank you very much.
                        For a man who has unjustly been labeled as a bad influence by my brother and his family, Dad sure has laid a positive foundation for my family, not to mention all those who admire him, love and protect him.  This blog is for all those forgotten heroes, who have been mistreated, unheard, unappreciated and judged for standing up for a cause.  You are loved, appreciated and accepted for who you are.  The bible says that God Loves Us All Through His Son Jesus Christ, who saved us..

           Proud Of My Father, Thank You Dad For Always Being There, by Sally J Wells-Hutchison

One Great Strength, Strength Of Heart.

                              When I was talking about "The Greatest Commandment" I forgot one important element "Strength".   When Colonel Robert Gould Shaw described the determination of his men ,the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, he described it as "Strength Of Heart".
                               We should all love God with Strength , in our weakness He is strong.
                      During all of this with my brother and his family, its turning to His strength that keeps me leveled.  How, well for the last two days, I have watched my oldest sister and how she retains her anger and frustration, fighting the urge just to walk over and letting them have it full-bore by relying on her strength.  I really admired that.  She has battled the same attitude with her own son.  She keeps saying "Just leave them alone to wallow in themselves".  How true, otherwise the rest of us would become unhinged.  The one that really is holding himself back is dad, when he gets hurt. watch out.  He having real trouble understanding how his only son can turn on his sister and the rest of us.
                       Aunt Billie, bless her heart , is trying to help my mom from becoming too worked up. She too has the same trouble only its with both sons.  "The Me And Attention Act", sounds political doesn't it.  I think my brother and his wife signed this act more than once, along with my cousin Jason.
                      I just never want to act that way, I really don't.  I know we all do it from time to time.
                   Aunt Billie did mention you Stephen, by quoting a philosophy of yours and she is right, it is a very good one, one that should be followed, "When you feel sorry for yourself, you drive everyone away until you are alone"  please forgive me if I didn't get that exactly right.  I beg your forgiveness if I ever made you feel that way.  
                   For my brother's 50th birthday, I think he should be presented "The Golden Ass Award" instead of cards by us ex-family members.  Given to family members turning the golden age of 50 who call their sister, insensitive, hurtful and selfish when in fact,its the opposite.  Believing rumors (blown Way Out 0f Proportion) as truth by people believing they are perfect who in turn are deceitful, having nothing better to do with their time or effort then to judge and run people down, so full of themselves , they need a cup attached to their bottom to catch the excess, of course that is after they remove the stick and discrediting and disowning your family.
                Sorry about that, I am venting and getting off the subject, my sister and parents are going to send him cards for his birthday, I hate to see what will happen to them.  I spent a who week doing a painting for him for his birthday, but my daughter didn't think he would appreciate it, so I gave it to dad for all his time and trouble, he liked it.  I am not sending a card.
               i hope and pray things are peaceful and good in your life SCHIZZ, sorry I haven't been myself.  I pray and think of you everyday.  Please be careful tomorrow, have a good day.    Have a wonderful nights rest tonight...love you lots, many hugs and kisses to make up for the days missed

Guardians Over Our Parents

Spent the last two days with my sisters,my kids and my parents.
    Still worked up by my brother,his wife and families insensitivity.   Pointing blame solely on my family alone.
      Since 1987,we have done many things together with all of them without problems.  Well at least,up to a few years back.  They seem to forget all the good things.
      My aunt Billie said it best. My sister in law  is self absorbed,thinking only about how she feels,always about her.  My sisters and I always have tried to make her feel welcome,always talked highly of her.  Could be jealousy because all of us have been close,especially my brother and my sister Vick,
  Her sisters can't get along with their in-laws.  Like I said, up until a few years back,things were fine,why has it changed? I guess her sisters and herself have to wallow in their misery together..so what better way than to stab people in the back,especially their husband's families.  Instead of working it out,they run like cowards and let their husband's do their dirty work.  Personally how low can you get.  They call themselves Christians?   Hey ladies Try, love your neighbors as yourself or better yet Honor They Mother and Father,that goes for all,thank you...heard of Compassion, Christ taught that,at least that is in the book I read...what was it called,oh yes The Bible, wasn't there two greater commandments. The one I mentioned, the other,first and foremost Love the Lord GOD with all.your mind,heart and soul.
    To make it straight with my own mind,they have said and done some hurtful things too but always stating that we deserved it. What made them judges over us anyway. Since when do they take rumors and here say as truth..Brain Washing..that is the term.
     Just isn't fair that when you try nice,helpful you end up getting hurt. 
       Now my sisters, my kids,my nephew Scott,who was banished for being too Silly..what was it that Path Adams was blasted for EXCESSIVE HAPPINESS.  Well I'd rather be that,than a person with a permanent stick stuck up my butt..sorry,but its true..excuses, excuses to push us completely out of my brothers life.
   We are all now my parents Guardians, my sister Vick, my parents, just have my sister, my nephew, my kids and us to lean on.
Please SCHIZZ be safe and care for those around you
Those who can't fight for themselves,  I Love you so much,talk to you tomorrow.

Gotten Worse,Hope And Pray You And Your Family Are Fine

         Hi SCHIZZ, wish this was a happy letter but unfortunately it isn't.
          I just pray things in your life are doing fine and you and your family are ok and safe.
           Well,I guess my brother and his wife got what they wanted, they want nothing to do with my sisters, my parents, the kids or I.
             I have been up and down, course it's real early in the morning and I am still upset.
             You may wonder what our crime is....wanting to have a surprise 50th birthday party for my brother as his wife and their boys had a birthday and graduation party,never including us in it...
  I can tell you as you know all the hurtful things they have done in the past to my parents and the rest of us..but that is ok I guess as giving a party for him from us hurt their feelings.
  It would appear that everything came to a climax after all the years of their excuses to avoid us.
   He yelled at my sister Vick,exclusively.   I wish for a change, someone would lay into him once,him and his better than thou wife.  I am so tired of it. It would be great for them to get a taste of their own medicine.
     Since when was it a sin to show appreciation to a family member, though all the hurt they have inflicted,isn't that called compassion?
   Everyone is pretty hurt,the kids, they don't even claim them as their niece and nephew, my sisters boys as well.
    I am so worried about my sisters and my parents, the kids, I am used to being treated like that. 
    I am trying to stay level with all the pain.
    Just wish I had your shoulder to cry on.
     Love you SCHIZZ,have a great forth!💔

In Case You Missed Me SCHIZZ

        Not trying to be coy,don't know what happened to you but in case you did miss reading my blogs.
        Pray you and your family are all doing well. Think about all of you all the time.
        Dad worked on my car, wish he didn't have too,he did real good for a man of 80. Mom helped him,she said she enjoyed it a touch.
        Jon did just fine,my brother was the one who didn't put the caliber on right because he breezed through it.  You can tell how important it was to him that the car was safe..oh well
  Dad grounded the Tauras from me, he said it wasn't safe. That is why he ended up with it.   I have it back,although the right side is showing off again,but everything else is fine and working.  A little discouraged about all of it.  Feel so sad,sometimes I wonder if I am worth all the fuss.  Just with this,just wonder if you are still there or even if you want to bother with me.
     Pat has another man in her life,she seems happy with him,guess she has known Kiser for twenty one years.  He is twelve years older than her.
     I guess Kristy is angry about it,must mean he's a nice man...sorry had to say that.
     Jon cracked my computer screen. .beats me why he manages to do things like that,so I have been using my phone.
      Love you Stephen and hope everyone and yourself are fine,wish I knew.  I know it's my fault anyway.   Please take care of everybody,especially yourself,
Love and prayers,
Sal📬
