| It was 60 some Degrees. No rain. Quiet day. We are having a Cookout this weekend. I am looking forward to the WDC Anniversary I got a nice sum of points here from a beautiful friend for My Jane Austen Writing Contest. How was your day? |
| My husband and I have been married 42 years. We went out to eat at our favorite restaurant. This restaurant you end up spending $100.00 or more. Tonight was no exception. My husband had steak and I had shrimp and a double baked potato. The fresh, homemade bread is back. I am so happy. Covid came along and no more double baked potatoes or fresh bread. They are back and I am happy. We had dessert shaped like brown steers with cake and chocolate mousse. The restaurant has a big, brown heavy cement brown steer outside. His name is Howie. The desserts are called Howie. We always go to this restaurant once or twice a year. Maybe we can go again this year. What did I get for my Anniversary? I got a nice diamond ring set. I had one diamond ring set I have been wearing for years. I got a nice purple amethyst ring last week. I love jewelry. I had a nice Anniversary. We have had good times and bad times but we got through it. We are still in love. This weekend, we are having a Cookout. Life can be good. |
| My ancestors. Arizona Charlie was my ancestor. He traveled with Wild Bill Cody . Arizona Charlie was great at cards. He entertained people with cards. My Great Grandmother had a cure to get rid of warts. John Dillinger hung out in a cabin next to her and Great Grandad. Dillinger drove by and waved at them. My one Great Grandmother was Cherokee. The one relative was the richest man in our county over 100 years ago. I came from oil money. Our family tried to collect on it but the law suit fell through. These are some of my ancestors. |
| Prompt:"The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well." Interested in one thing. What do we choose? Writing. A job we have or had outside of writing. A trip to the Beach. Shopping. TV Shows. Hobbies. Friends. Families. Looking at mansions. Traveling to certain states. Gifts from friends. Cards from friends. Dogs. Cats. Animals. Tea pots. Plates. Pictures. Dolls. Handsome men. Seeing autumn leaves. Roses and flowers. Jewelry. Wanting peace for the world. A gentle rain. Unicorns. Dragons. God and Jesus. Reading books. Eating foods. Christmas. There are some things we don't like. I could make a list but we all love happiness. One thing we love. We can't just pick one. I can't. I like to think I love more things then I hate. Secret of life? Be kind to everyone. Do your best and work together to make the world a better place. Your thoughts? |
| Prompt:What historical event had a big impact on your life? The Vietnam War. My father went to Vietnam three times and we were never close after that. He changed. The last 20 years we were in a better place and I am glad. I lost him on Veterans Day 2 years ago. Dad would come home and he got transferred and we moved to another state. I would make new friends and he went back to Vietnam 2 years later. I hated going to another school but Indiana is where Mom and I stayed with her parents when Dad went to Vietnam. Dad was hard to reach. That war affected me. After Dad died, I listened to Vietnam Protest songs. I hated what Vietnam did to us. Dad went to Church. I blame Vietnam for us not being close but we found peace with each other and I loved him. Vietnam War affected my life and my father's. We do go on. I listen to Vietnam Protest songs and wear peace sign necklaces sometimes. I guess this is my way of having closure with my father and how Vietnam changed our lives. I loved tge 60s and 70s anyway. I was a hippie at one time. I treasure good memories and remember Dad when I was a little girl before Vietnam. I treasure those times. |
| I went to Church. I gave tge Minster some money from Mom's Estate. We are a small Church and I would giving to others. I plan on going to Lake Michigan with my cousin this week and Kate Spade Store. I need to clean house. I hope to do some writing. I am not very exciting. I like having a quiet life. |
| Prompt: What is your favorite way to enjoy nature? I like looking at flowers. I enjoy looking at trees. Autumn leaves are a treasure. Seeing the sun in the sky. Mountains. Seeing the lake. Seeing animals. These all say nature to me. I haven't walked in the woods in years but I did enjoy a good walk. |
| Dirty Dancing. I love this movie with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. The scenery is neat. A rich Doctors daughter befriends some dancers and falls in love with the dance instructor who teaches her to dance. She gets money from her father so the one dancer can have an abortion. Her father is mad at her and just wanted to associate with rich people like himself. The other daughter's boyfriend had gotten the young girl pregnant and he was studying to be a Doctor. He waa disgusting. The Doctor realized people of middle class are just asimportant and he forgives his daughter and he was happy he helped the woman whose abortion was botched. Patrick Swayze was handsome and a favorite with me. I love the music and dancing. A great love story and Jennifer Grey was good. I enjoyed the romance and music. I watch this movie every chance I get. I highly recommend it. |
| What a week. I have been having sinus issues and my hernia has been acting up. I pray I get better. My minister and I talked on the phone and prayed together. She is a great minister. We had new concrete put in, in front of our house. Three days of noise. They broke my small goose I got from Mom. My kitty was upset by the noise. Now, it's done. We got 3 inches of rain 3 weeks ago. We needed it. My husband is going to a tractor show in Illinois with his brother and cousin and friend. Kitty and I will have the house to ourselves. I ordered The Mod Squad DVDs. I love that police hippie show. I am watching Dark Shadows, the original series. My favorite show of all time. I hope to go to Lake Michigan with my cousin next week. We want to go to Kate Spade. This is what is new in my life. How's your life going? |
| Grief doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your life anymore. Write about this in your Blog entry today. Grief. My mother died 6 months ago and it has been rough for me. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. I just stayed home. My cousin, son and I went to Mom's house to clear stuff out of it. I bought home: her China Hutch, grandfather clock, dishes, photo albums, Dad's Air Force Memorial table with his plaques, medals and other things. I bought home Mom's dolls and journals and jewelry. I bought home other things that comfort me. We had tornado warnings out. We don't have a basement. My cousin called and wanted me to come over to her house to the basement. I said Mom died 6 weeks ago and my life is over. I didn't go. We didn't get a tornado. I appreciate my cousin caring about me. We are very close. I don't go to Church like I used to but I pray and read my Bible. I used to sit with Mom since Dad died. I get knee pain and I need the handicapped parking space. I have to get there 45 minutes to get my parking space Some days, I don't feel well. I go to Church when I can. My cousin wanted me to shopping and out to lunch. I take my meds and I went. My cousin and I had fun. I missed Mom. My cousin and I shop and she comes over and does my hair. My friend from Mississippi came home and she and Mom used to hang out together. We went to Mom's grave and we went shopping. We talked about Mom. I am able to do things again. My knee hasn't bothered me much. Maybe my knee replacement helped. I go places Mom and I went and maybe she is with me. Grief. I am still sad and cry at times but I see Mom's picture every day. I am able to find joy again. My cousin and I are going to Lake Michigan next week and Kate Spade. Mom loved Lake Michigan and shopping. I need to find joy and we do have to go on. That's what I am doing. I dream of Mom sometimes. She is always shopping. I want to be happy but I will keep Mom in my thoughts. We can have joy even with grief. With time, things get better. Mom's in Heaven. She isn't sad. I want to see her there. We will all be happy in Heaven and there will be no grief and sadness. Just joy. I am working towards that. |

Megan, that you had a direct hit from the Vietnam war.! It was an awful war and a terrible time for those who went to fight in it. In fact, whether we were aware of it or not, we were all fighting in it.
