WHY

Why is it we never see how good we have it when it is right in front of us? Why is it we always think it is greener on the other side of the fence? Why is it we think no one else ever has it as ruff as we have it? Why can't we just be happy for the things God has granted us. Why can't we see the good and why do we focus on the bad? Why do we take it out on the ones who love us?

Where have the YEARS gone!

When each of the my three girls were born I though I'd have them for ever. Ever doesn't last very LONG. One day they are little and the next they are grown. This was so apparent to me today when I noticed how tall Sidney is getting. She is almost the height of my chin you are getting big. How did that happen? Just yesterday she was a baby, then I think back to her Mother I am sure it was just the day before that Amanda was that baby. HOW, How did this happen? I find there are a lot of things that have just slipped by through the years. Megan took pictures of me while she was here. I like the way she took the pictures but I don't like the look of me (well at least the image of me). In my eyes at least, the ones I look out of I am skinny, young and really cute. Not the girl I saw in the photos. Now thats not saying I am not happy, I am. Probably the happiest I have been in my life. I have related this story to a few friends of mine and they say the same thing. I have recently seen some pictures taken of me in the early 80's I thought the same things then. Little did I know what the future had in store. I guess this is the way it is for some of us. One of the things I don't like is not having the energy I used to have. Before I could go for days on end and some times weeks, now I am lucky to go for a few days in. Then I am wore out, tired and ready for the couch. Where did that all go. I KNOW it is wasted on all of the toddlers. I wish we could bottle up all that energy up and save it for us semi-old folks. That don't know how great naps really are. >WELL IT IS WHAT IT IS. Life in motion.

Megan has one heck of a talent

Megan has one heck of an talent. Earlier this year she invested in a professional cameras and has started a photography business. She was very busy this summer. She took picture of our newest member of the family, Mia. Three weddings, one bridal shoot, two other babies, two families, and me. (Well I am not sure they will be seen! Not because of Megan's work, more on that another time.) Here is a picture I took of her on the bridal shoot, I am was so excited to watch her at work. The whole evening was awesome. We couldn't have had a better back drop if we had painted it our self's. The bride in the picture is Chalee a good friend of mine and so is her Mother Deb Jenkins.

Memories

When Megan and Scott made their move to Ariz. I was more then a little apprhensive.
My Mothers side of the family lives on the East Coast. I know how hard it has been trying to know them. So having Megan and the kids come to visit us for a month in the summer is a real treat. Even if it means a million kids for a month. ( Okay maybe not a million.) We all have a great time going and going and going. I for one was worn out. The cousins will remember these good times and I hope they will all cherish them. One thing growing older has taught me, FAMILY REALLY IS FOREVER.

The sad end

We are down to two cows, two Lee bought at the Auction. Two we will be eating. Two very sad people who hoped for things to be a little different. One guy who has poured his heart and soul into long hours of work with little reward. One hope to make the best of the time we have left together. Oneness, we haven't had a lot of time to share over the past 21 years during these long hours of work. For every Season there is a time.
