Just Some Random Stuff

I know this will probably be really boring as I am trying to blog more often than before. But who really cares???? I can not believe that it is December and Christmas will be here before we know it. I have almost finished shopping and hope I will be done soon. I never knew the fun of online shopping until last year.
Goodness it pays to do it, with free shipping and then you have 90 days to pay. You can shop 24/7 and it can be freezing, raining or what ever and your inside warm and dry. I like the fact that the UPS brings it right to your door and you don't have to use your own gas. I got some really good deals from ToysRUS this year.
We really had a wonderful Thanksgiving, turkey and dressing, peas, fresh green beans, mac and cheese, crandberry and desserts. I must say the dressing was wonderful as was the sweet potaoe suffle. I think Adam ate most of the dressing and that was the #1 thing in food he asked for. So I was happy to make it for him. We all said what we were thankful for through tears and all and then it was my grandson Britt's turn. Well we really didn't expect what came out of his mouth, he was thankful for a safe trip to Meme and Papa's house. Now how sweet was that, he was so cute.
Then on Saturday morning we celebrated Paisley's 2nd birthday. And thank the Lord we had a Ronda Tull cake that was wonderful. That afternoon we traveled to Apalachicola where the "White Family" dined on great seafood at Papa Joe's.
We had a great time of family being together and laughter.

Sunset's

Well since I got "booted out" from my daughter-in-law I thought I would post to my blog. I posted the sunset pictures before I wrote anything but I guess that was alright.
I guess sunsets are the most beautiful paintings in the sky and in the fall they seem so much more beautiful and yes I love to take pictures of them also.
The first picture is my favorite because I have never seen so many colors and by the time I had finished the sky was purple.
Well I went to my I guess every 3 months or so anal gland expression tonight. Not a pleasant ordeal for me or Lilly and Celie for that matter, bless her heart.
Matthew was in a tizzy as usual and I offered him a "calm ya down pill" which he refused, thank goodness.
Celie was crying, Lilly was being a dog and the smell was HORRIBLE and Lilly loved it. Matthew I guess had an eventful day and was stressed out to the MAX so he had NO patience at all with Celie or Lilly. Thank goodness Meme was there. Celie was starving to death, you would think by the way she was shoveling in the chicken and rice and the butter beans. She finally just put the fork and spoon down and used her two hands. It was really funny to watch I told Matthew, " God gave us fingers before forks" which he smirked as usual.
So this is my updated post for this week but, there could be more.

Sunset's in the Fall

"Love You Forever"

A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she held him she sang:

I'll love you forever

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say,"this kid is driving me CRAZY!" But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed: and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I"ll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be,

The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was nine years old. And he never wanted to come in for dinner, he never wanted to take a bath, and when grandma visited he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up the nine-year-old boy amd rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew, He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strang music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo! But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm able

my baby you'll be.

That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town. But sometimes on dark nights the mother got into her car and drove across town. If all the lights in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of his bed. If that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

Well, that mother, she got older. she got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, "You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick." So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song. She sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always....

But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick. The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my mommy you'll be.

When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new daughter was sleeping. He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her he sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

This little book, "I'll Love You Forever" I got when I think Adam was in the first grade. I started to read it and found out quickly that I could not finish it without crying at the very beginning. Finally I made my way throught the whole book after many attempts, crying as I read it. I could just picture myself doing the same thing as this mother did because she loved her son so very much.

So this blog isn't my "100th" one but I do dedicate it to my two sons that I love with all of my heart, and I'll love you forever, I'll like you for aways, as long as I'm living my "babies" you'll be!"

Just Chit-Chat

Today as I was going to work I looked in my rear view mirror and I saw this car approaching me . Now I am a believer of going the correct speed limit so I know I was not speeding, anyway this car came from way behind me and I could tell it was gaining on me fast. So just before I reached the "cut off road"( that is what we call the industrial road) this car flew around me. There was no other car in site, I was going actually 62 mph so I figured I was going fast enough. Well this car turns out to be a deputy flying around me. This is the problem, why did he think he needed to go around me ?
I have never been able to follow a police car as they tend to break all speed limits and I would probably get pulled over anyway. I did some checking online about how to save gas as you are driving and here are just the one's that I can remember. This could possibly help "all" who drive cars.

1. Drive the speed limit
2. Do not "floor board"
3. Turn the air off ( have to say no to that one)
4. If you are at the long slow lines at McD's, turn your car off, restarting takes less gas than to sit there and wait.
5. If you are in traffic and it is backed up due to a wreck, turn your car off

OK now I know this has to be helpful to some, so Mr Policeman can't you drive the speed limit ?????

My Exciting Finds at Goodwill :):)

This will only be a few pictures but i just had to share my great finds at Goodwill. I was so excited to bring this home and clean it up for my little angels

to play with. I paid $8 for it and you can get one at Toys-R-Us for $90 :):)

The Dora kitchen has a radio, phone and a blender and it also has a few dishes and pots/pans. The chicken actually a rooster is a flashlight that crows/glows when you mash the button, And Thomas the train was just so cute, needs no batteries just push down the head and away he goes. Now for the most exciting find that I did not get the chance to get but was still excited it came through the store. It was a beautiful forest green $130 purse with the tags still on it and it was leather and it smelled so good. I almost begged for it but it didn't work. Maybe next time I will get another chance. It is so much fun, come for a visit you never know what will be put out.
