Oct '09 - My girl, Leasa had a birthday and we celebrated - had a fun time, as always. She is a fun girl and the wonderful part......I know she loves me also.
Nov '09 - Two of our sons celebrated birthdays - John and Cliff - since John lives close we were able to celebrate with him, but Cliff lives away so it was a phone celebration with him. Love my boys!
Dec '09 - Our girl, Jane (she loves me also - ain't life sweet?) celebrated a birthday and also Donnie. Christmas time was in this household and at some time or other, we were able to enjoy all of our kids being home. Was not able to manage a family picture and was so sorry about that. Love all my kids and love being together with them, even if it is a short visit. We tried to plan things around Leasa's work schedule - but all in all we had a wonderful visit together.
Jan '10 - A new year! Brenda had a birthday (she is recovering well from her cancer surgery). Also our first born grandson, Robert - reached the old age of 17. Does not seem possible. He's now considering college.....Oh My!
Feb '10 - Our grandchildren Stephen, Taryn and Trenton all celebrated birthdays in this month. Our firstborn granddaughter, Taryn is now a teen!
Mar '10 - Joshua - our second born grandchild had a birthday and is now 15.
Apr '10 - Our youngest granddaughter, LeAnn is now seven years old. My sweetheart had a birthday and I had a celebration for him, which he totally enjoyed. He is now 70 years young. We also celebrated another anniversary.
May '10 - Our youngest grandson, Jaydon is now six years old and full of life.
Jun '10 - Our second son, Edward is now a tad older.
Jul '10 - No birthdays - can we have a sigh of relief for a moment here?
Aug '10 - Our Phillip is now 11 years old. During this month we enjoyed a short trip to Brownsville and totally enjoyed being with our kids! What a wonderful time - stress free and just plain good laughing and having a fun time togehter. The seven cousins seemed to enjoy just being together. If my Aunt Julia (the only Mama for me) would be living, she would now be 109 years old. She was born in 1901 and passed away in 2003. I can still picture her on her couch, her Bible in her old worn hands, and a cup of coffee on the arm of the couch - she knew the Word. Good memories. She was the very best cook in the whole wide world - she could make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich taste like a gourmet meal!
Can I tell you that I am blessed? I have been blessed and truly have to give all praise to my Father - my heavenly Father. I will never know why He chose me to bless so abundantly, but He has and I praise His holy name forever and ever.
Be back another time and will post a much shorter note! Maybe some pictures later also.
