MEMORIES

Today is the anniversary of my Mom's death. In some ways it seems like forever ago and in other ways it was just yesterday! You would think that by now I could think of her and even write this without crying but I can't. But what this blog is about is Memories and I do have billions of her so that makes me smile.

So with the "Memories" theme I wanted to share some truly wonderful memories that have been made so far this week. Nick and Shay have been in this week and I am so greatful and blessed that they have been able to be here for a whole week! I have enjoyed every minute even though I have worked during the day, we have had lunches and dinners together just about every day. At nights they have taught us some new card games and we have had so much and so many laughs. Let's just say that some of the funny things... well you just had to be there. Anyways, I am looking forward to the rest of the weeek and enjoying more time with them.

We are trying to get the whole family together this weekend for some "chicken-pot-pie" (family recipe) and make even more memories.

So in closing we should enjoy our families and try to spend as much time as possible making those memories because Memories will be with you always!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Love,
Gayenelle

It's Been A While ............

Well it's been a while since I last wrote and here we are into the New Year. Well let's just say so far 2009 has not been better than 2008. I think we all have been sick with the flu and/or colds, etc. The weather needs to make up its mind. We haven't had any snow here although I know some have had more than their share.

I'm ready for Spring and some warm weather. I think I have cabin fever. It seems lately that I go all week without even going out of the house. I work all day and then at night we have dinner and then watch TV. I'm ready for a vacation. Right now we are waiting until we do our taxes to determine if we will be able to take a vacation.

I think we all are praying that the economy turns around. I always have to stop and remind myself that there are those worse off than us. We really don't have it that bad it just seems that the cost of everything is going up and we live pay check to pay check. I pray that everything in our children's lives works out as well. They have all had their shares of ups and down as well.

We are looking foward to watching Reagan on Friday night so Corey and Bobbie can celebrate an early Valentine's Day. Then on Saturday Chuck and I are planning a quiet Valentine dinner here at home which we are looking forward to.

Hopefully, Nick and Shay will be able to come in next weekend as I miss them so much. I didn't get to see them for Christmas and I am anxious to see them.

Hope everyone has a good week and a great Valentine's Day with your Loved Ones!
