Neices and Nephews.(First and Second!)

   Just viewed my nieces new blog.  Made me think about our family and how time goes right on movin' for us.  It moves for us. Little Mickey and little Dianna, with their long dark hair. So pretty. With every niece and nephew I have so many memories.  I remember that Dianna was so quiet. You'd have to look for her to be sure she was still in the house. That is, unless she would find the hairbrush on my mama's vanity! Then she would come to me, and I would brush her hair until the bristles and my arm were tired.  She would have sat there in front of me on the floor forever.  Didn't know then that I would hold these precious memories forever. I remember when we would be in the car with my brother Mac, and have to pull over so that Mickey could walk across the bridge. She was afraid to ride over a bridge in the car. Guess she outgrew that. Can't hardly see her getting out now and crossing the bridge, then whistling for the car.LOL. Little Kelly Joan nestled under her daddy's arm on the sofa. I was so amazed! My daddy never did that. I didn't know daddys did that! He called her his Tiger! So she is Tiger to me, just as Michelle is Mickey. (My brother's word's were gold to me, just as my daddy's were.) Gloria Jean, chasing butterflies in the yard one day, then dressed up in high heels and make-up the next. Cheryl Kay, jumping into a pile of my 45's on my bedroom floor,(breaking some) then making the statement, "They shouldn't have been all over the floor!" Or asking me at the supper table one night, "Karen, my mama's pretty. How come you're not!?" Oh my, You know I never did think I would love that little niece, but I do. I love her just as much as the others. So many others that I have not mentioned, but I have special memories with them too. I even have great nieces and nephews! Charley,(Charalana), Boo, Bo, Miah, on and on! I remember when I was babysitting Jeremiah(Miah) once, and I had put him down for a nap. Being worn out, and thinking it might comfort him, I laid down beside him. He was probably about 3 or 4 years old. I studied him as he lay there grimacing and chanting, then made the announcement, "Miah, You look just like a little Charlie!" (He looked like my daddy.) He looked up at me with his great big eyes, startled and worried, and answered, "My not Little Charlie, Aunt Karen! My Little Miah!" "Yes, I know you are, Miah. My mistake."  Little Bonnie (Boo) would come to my house to help me with the housework. She would exhaust me looking for things that needed to be done! I will never forget that. My little housekeeper. Oh, I could go on, but would run out of cyber paper. I am just grateful for my nieces and nephews, and all the memories they have given me. I think I'll come back sometime and give the others equal time. It will have the roman numeral II after it.

New Blogs!!

 

                Just wanted everyone who enters to know that both my younger boys now have their own blogs.  Matt's blog is http://angelboyscloud.blogspot.com    Davy's is www.httpmylife.blogspot.com   Go on over and say  HEY!   Let them know you dropped in.        

Today.

Well, We have a woodduck laying under the Pompous Grass on 10 eggs. She stays there with them all nite' well into mid-day. Question is, Can a woodduck and a goose really hatch babies? Guess I'll have to wait and see. It's the prettiest little nest I've ever seen, and she seems to think there's reason to be there. I've posted the question on two of my ezboard forums, one of them being Nettie's Poultry, so I'm hoping for some replies. If anyone knows, these guys would. Jonny says that it is possible, and he is very infrequently wrong. So, let's wait and see what developes. 
     My sister Bonnie called and told me that she has to have a pacemaker put in. She is very nervous about it, so prayers for her, please. It will not be in the immediate future. Dr. wants her to lose some weight first. She is hoping that the weight lose will keep the pacemaker from becoming a reality. I hope so too. Nevertheless, they have come a long way with pacemakers, and I am sure everything will be OK.
     I have more to say, but at a later date perhaps.    Jonny, Welcome back. I love you very much. Miss you. Mama.

For Instance

              
You say you love me. Consider this.
  I found the lipstick under the carseat.
            It wasn't mine. 
                                                                                
 You say forever. I wonder why?                        
  She calls, and asks for you, then hangs up. 
           Then you go see your mother. 
   
 I know who she is, and I know her hubby.
  I had a drink with him last nite.
 You might be interested in knowing this.
            (maybe not)
 I'm not going on vacation with you next week. ------------ 

 

 

                 
  
 

ezboard.com

   If you haven't checked out www.ezboard.com  you really should. It's really great!! I just joined recently and I have found a lot of fun forums. It covers anything you are interested in, from home and family, to entertainment and knowledge. There are so many forums it will probably take me forever to see it all. I love animals, so I headed right over to Animal City. Of course you have to become a member of Ezboard, but that's simple. Check it out!! I think you will like it.-----------
             

You're An Angel (Bonnie)

  
 
Have I told you?
Have I told you how very much you mean to me?
You were always there when I needed you.
Following along behind you, walking beside you,
Or just sitting in the kitchen watching you.
Sometimes that’s all I needed or wanted.
Other times I needed more, and you were there.
Things I couldn’t talk to mama about. You understood.
Things I didn’t understand about while growing up. You helped.   Sometimes I was very hard to cope with, but you stayed.
I dreamed about being just like you.
Oh, how I looked up to you.(and still do)
You were my favorite movie star!
The most beautiful sister in the world. (my friends agreed)
Now We are adults. Have I told you lately?
Have I told you how very much you mean to me?
You are the best friend I could ever ask for.
Please forgive me if we don’t see each other enough.
I wish we could.
I don’t have the time I use to, nor do you.
Why do things have to change so much?
But I promise you this.
It’s more then thinking about you, much more!
You are in me! We are as much one as we ever could be.
Not a minute passes that you are not there with me.
In a crowded room, I miss you.
Alone, I have our memories, and wonder what you are doing.
I wish that all sisters everywhere could know the joy and life that we have shared.
What a gift that would be, if we could only give it to others.
I love you, Bonnie. If I had nothing else to be born for, you would be enough.  -------
