REDSKINS BABY

Well the long awaited day has come. My late hubs was a Redskin fan. Excuse me, super fan! My son is now a Super Redskin fan. In April his sister gave him 2 tickets to the Cardinal vs. Redskin game. Today is the day. Everybody is meeting at my house. I am thinking I will make a big pot of spaghetti. Then I will send the big kids off to the game and the Gkids and I travel the 30 miles back to their house for a sleepover. I am going to have a long walk in the morning out at my daughter's. Then I will ride back into town with a friend. I truly have the best friends ( and sisters who are friends ). I will still make it to work on time! I love early mornings!

Posted an ad for the elder services in a couple of places. We will see. I am doing the word of mouth thing too. I have lots of satisfied customers....yes, some of them are still alive...lol. Families. I can always tell when someone is missing their mother, father or their hubs. They will give me a call and we will tell stories about the family member. Have a good laugh, maybe a good cry. It's great to be able to there for people during an extremely hard time in life. Really, this has been about the longest it's been that I haven't had a old people sitting job. Oh well. I will keep on keeping on. Actually, is there is no other choice. Well no other good choice.

Still no food comas. AMAZING! Simply amazing. Holding steady at 196. Steady being the key word there...lol.

Keep the mood and the food real...........

    Hey, I'm an old people! Come sit with me :) Your early morning walks sound great. I can't wait for the weather to break so I can get some in myself. I like that time much better than late afternnon. Enjoy the holiday weekend.

    I wish I lived by you so I could join you.

    Being with the Gkids should be fun as always and you are such a good woman Dana that it is no surprise that you have such wonderful friends and sisters.

    Sounds like it will be a fun day for everyone - and I agree with what Katie said - you ARE such a kind and giving person that it's no wonder people are willing to do for you!

    Thank you for your support and kind words. The simplist things mean so much.

    Glad you got to spend time with the family. I'm so excited that football season is starting back up. I'm ready for some football.

    Yay for no food comas and holding steady. I love your parting words "Keep the mood and the food real..........." AMEN!

    Well, being from Dallas Cowboy country, kind words about the Redskins are impossible. I'd be run out of town on a rail!

    Just keep things steady and keep envisioning what you want your future to hold. It will be here before we know it.

    Enjoy your wonderful family. And have a great weekend.

    How fun to overnight with the GK! We are super Vikings fans so I know just what you are talking about. Super fans!

    I could have used your expertise in elder care with my dad...
    Enjoy your weekend!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
