~Things Mothers Keep~

I have found some things that have just made me laugh.. I cannot believe all the things that my mother had saved all those years.. EVEN my report cards !!! There are 4 envelopes , from my first 4 years.. with locks of my hair in them.. (wish I had that color now). I was so bad about writing notes.. I think I have written all my life.!. Mom kept the notes I would write to her while we were in Church..had to be quiet in there, so she gave me a small tablet and I would write notes to her during the service one says.. 'I wish I was home' .. I know she had to have smiled when she got that one lol... One I think I asked what we were going to eat as we were going to go out to eat after church..lol.. I even drew the pictures... I wrote notes all the time-I didn't know she kept all this stuff. Such great memories. even the report cards from school..well I didn't mind seeing them as I did really good in school..I think I liked the challenge of learning. I very seldom really even studied, I would read the night before and highlight the major stuff then the next morning before the test I would read just the highlighted parts that I needed to know ..worked good for me...I always have liked to learn tho.. I think that's why I like the challenge of this computer and all it can do... I was reading the book of my 3/1 and some of the things it can do and boy I am really impressed.. I did notice all the different slots for memory cards in the front..but I had NO idea that I could print out a real photo..on shiny paper even...this is such FUN~~! I printed out so much stuff yesterday that I ran out of paper..lol..I wanted to start on this book I want to do and I have to start somewhere and not real sure I know exactly WHAT to do so I am just gonna have to play it by ear and hope its right and I can get a book published, then maybe I will be rich and famous ! that would be ok :-) I get a book done..then hmmm...maybe I could take that trip to Europe.. I know so many people overseas that I would just LOVE to meet.. It would be such great fun..and I thought well London most everyone maybe could get there and come and meet me.. I told my friend Momar..that I would take up a collection to try to get enough for a trip to London.. lol.. well that may be the ONLY way I could get over there..I do know so many people in the UK and Germany, Norway, Sweden, all over Europe. and it WOULD be so nice to visit and meet them all... I would LOVE to find my family there in the UK...share photos etc.. I am sure they would have some of my grandparents.. Raelynn said she would go with me too.. I told her again yesterday its time to start playing the lottery.. :-) she agreed.. now all we have to do is do it, and of course WIN :-) It is SO HOT here today, in the 90's ..storm predicted for tonite.. The joys of summer-- Heat and Storms. I really don't like either.. I can fix the problem with the heat by turning on my AC, but I can't solve the problem of the storms. All I can do is just wait them out and hope when and if things get bad I can get the boys into the bathroom with me and that if the only left here is us in the bathroom that would be ok.. I just hope the hurricanes arent too bad this year that one last year just about drove everyone nutz..not just those in it but those of us that saw all the chaos and destruction.. those poor animals. I had to quit looking at it. Just broke my heart.. Poor innocent victims.. and not a thing they could do.. so much tragedy not just for the animals..for the people as well.. I dont think I would move back there myself.. ONE time going thru something like that would be enough for me I think..then color me gone.. I would NOT go back. I did a dummy today, I did a face down digger on my bed. I was in a hurry, the phone rang and was over by my computer..I had to hurry and get into my chair before it stopped ringing..well- I have a tin..that I am keeping my photos in and its here on the end of my bed.. well I was in that rush.. my skirt got hemmed up and sort of I guess tripped me so to speak, and I went forward..just like a weeble..and I smacked my forehead on that box.. why it HAD to be right in the way of my face I have NO idea..but I don't think I could have placed it in a better spot if I tried.. No damage but I did laugh at my self.. I know I have to look like such a NUT when I do that, the boys look at each other as if to say "you SEE this woman??" I know they laugh at me.. I wonder if cats laugh.? :-) I bet if they can- I KNOW mine laugh at me.. I bet they NEVER stop lol... I didn't do a whole lot today, I got up early tho.6:30 early for a saturday morning... I didn't do a whole lot other than play with pictures and deciding which I want to put here tomorrow.. Its just so hard to decide WHICH ones lol... I have no trouble with photos of me, as they are ALL GORGEOUS..but all these others..well..everyone else really is too..well not as beautimous as me but close :-) lol... I have a few of those great strawberries left and I plan to finish them off. only a few weeks till the first of the month then I can get some more.. I love those things.. and YESSSS the lid is ON the sugar lol... Time to finish this AND those strawberries and hit publish.... Nitey nite ! :-) Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya..and Thanks... :-) Always, Lois**** May God Bless you today, I'm so honored to call you friend, I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again...
