A little more

I had to stop yesterday because i was getting too long winded. LOL! I tend to do that when i am really focusing. Don't let me get on my soapbox, i will go on and on forever. So i don't try to talk about politics or religion. Just have too many opinions about both subjects. Now Bill on the other hand can and does write about any subject he happens to be on that day, including both of the above. He amazes me too. He is so talented in so many ways. Don't think i have ever seen him start something and not finish it. He always figures out a way. With one exception, plumbing. He now leaves that to the professionals. Need i say more on that? LOL! He also amazes me. He has a way with words that can entertain you, or make you think, or feel good, or just enjoy what he says. We will have been married 39 years on Sunday. I don't think there is a single thing we have missed experiencing in those 39 yrs. Births of grand children, deaths of grandparents and both parents. We both have sisters, and have experienced the highs and lows that go with most families. We have had our ups and downs as well, but made it better with each passing yr. I can't imagine my life with out him in it. Most of the adventures i have been on have either been with him or encouraged by him. Because of him i am a better person, Not afraid to be me, don't feel as if i have to meet any requirements for anyone but my self. I definitely am more self confident because of his encouragement. So today i say to anyone who reads this. I Love My Husband and respect him and am amazed by him. Just one more blessing in my life, and there are so many. Well again from the sunny shores i will say, until next time. Be blessed.

Amazed

I never cease to be amazed by my family. All good of course. I sent Meghan my granddaughter in her freshman college yr. some money. (I did the same for her sister Amy) I got a thank you note the very next week. She really appreciated it and said so because it was totally unexpected and it doesn't have to be spent any certain way. How many of us have $ come into our hands that doesn't have to be earmarked for this or that? Hardly ever, right? There is always something it needs to be spent on, bills, gas, etc. Now the amazing part, the thank you note. My daughter has always taught the children simple courtesy's. They took!!!! Lessons learned. And they will make a difference in life how they are treated. Good manners and thoughtfulness always make a more likable person.
Next is my daughter. She is always amazing me. She is the best mother i know. She is open to learning, doing and experiencing new things. Alway surprising her family with new receipes she looks up. Some aren't hits, others are and she shares them on her blog fo those of us who are always cooking the same old things. Not that they aren't good, but there's no adventure in them. Robin is full of adventures. Check out her blog you will see. you can reach her thru mine. She has two sets of children. Those 2 in college, and the 2 younger ones 9 and 5. The youngest a boy Eli, who leads her into all sorts of adventures. He is at an age he is very entertaining. Mugging at a camera, dancing around, saying those things that make you laugh, or say where did that come from? he is just a joy to be around. Sophie on the other hand is a very sweet girl, who is curious, asks questions, quietly plays by herself. Smart as can be, and very touchy feelie. A real special little girl. Now don't get me wrong, the other 2 older girls don't lack anywhere either. Both are good girls, working hard to graduate and go out into the world and make their lives a success. Maybe i should say young women instead of girls, because they are now. Also very loving, family is important to both of them. As it should be for all of us. We should never out grow our families. We have only one and only one chance to live this life with them. So always cherish and appreciate them while you can. too soon life moves on. The older you get the older they get and time catches up on some of us quicker than others. So live, laugh, and love as the sign says. You will never get enough of either one. So long from this beach mama until next time.
