Oh, I'm sure I can scan them at work and upload them.

YEA, I can't wait to see you and T all spiffied up!

 

[LiserAnn]

for me, this is what I cannot comprehend. My mom has often commented on my Grandparents love for me, and also having a loving husband and caring father.....WHAT? As a mom, I want all I can for my girls, happiness, love, trust, family - no matter what form this comes in. Sometimes I can just hear the jealousy in the sighs on the phone and choose not to share what good things are going on in our lives.

It sounds like she never got the message that you get back what you give...giving love ensures receiving love!

Thanks for sharing your story, it's captivating!

 

[MrsMork]

Angie, I loved your story. I think you and Dennis must be just the most wonderful parents. You are very blessed and DH and I just can't wait to meet you. Your story is so inspiring!!

I don't know about being the best parents. We think we were way too easy, not enough discipline, BUT....they did not come with a manual and we did the best we could.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I know exactly what you mean. My John and I have know each other for almost 30 years, been married for 22 but I can not imagine a world without him.

Yup, the longer the time goes, the more you need each other, not less.

do cats really do this?

Yes ours does. But ours is a talker all the time.

Yep, my Dennis broke down at DSIL's memorial and said to me "I can't even imagine if that were you." Speaking of....I have to call my brother tonight as it is his birthday. Saturday would have been his wife's birthday and they always shared their birthdays so I know this will be a really hard day for him. He did work though to keep his mind busy.

Yes ours does. But ours is a talker all the time.

Our one (Sassy- same one that yells for breakfast) is a real talker too. And always has to have the last word no matter what. I think she keeps getting louder too! Our other female, Sweetie, rarely every meows and our male, Jasper, makes these little squeaky meows.

Glad to hear all went well this weekend Venetia - the butterfly release sounds wonderful.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Yes ours does. But ours is a talker all the time.

Ella is vocal all the time too....except for when she's hiding from Angel and usually stalking her....then she goes stealth.

 

[MrsMork]

Yes ours does. But ours is a talker all the time.

We have one that has almost no voice. He opens his mouth and makes the motion, but hardly any sound comes out. Sometimes none at all. He is a sweetie though - an old guy of 15 years.

Oh man, what a hard two days for him and both so close to her passing. Lots of hugs for your brother.

 

[LiserAnn]

I am in major thought I was already to leave on Friday, but now I am so not packed, ready to be finished and ready to head out, agh! But I did get this, my camera bag modification, done tonight, talk about procrastinating, eh.

How cute is that!!!!!

 

[BubbaGrump]

Angie, I loved your story. I think you and Dennis must be just the most wonderful parents. You are very blessed and DH and I just can't wait to meet you. Your story is so inspiring!!

I know you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have met.

 

[BubbaGrump]

That picture I just posted also reminded of the folks that were at the next table, FirstTimeCruiser. Did they cancel? No word from momoftwoprincesses either, or gaylean.

We just feel the same way. I lost my mom, my sister and my dad in three years. What we learned is we have each and other and our health. What more is there????

 

[Jhalkias]

Just got home . . .

WHAT a ballgame!

Indians WIN 4-2! Up in the series 2-1!

Fans gone wild!

My buddy who went with me said it best - Jacob's Field looked like a giant snow globe with all the towels waving!

It was a BLAST!

[Jhalkias]

John1 = John2 wants to know are you seated behind Grady's Ladies?

Nope, closer to Pronkville . . . if you saw where Lofton hit his homer, we were directly behind that in the second deck.

Amy, nice to see you around tonight, where is John seating at the stadium? I assume he is wearing his Tribe Time shirt.

Pj

That's me, and 30,000 others!

pasadena....a common thread here...hmmmmm.....little old lady from pasadena....

This is a great joke of my DH, who calls me his "little old lady from Pasadena"!!

For the "youngsters" out there from Wikipedia:

The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" is a song written by Don Altfeld, Jan Berry and Roger Christian, and recorded by 1960s American pop singers, Jan and Dean. The song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1964. Jan and Dean were known for their music of the 1960s surf era with songs like "Dead Man's Curve" and "Surf City".

Premise of the song
"The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" was an imaginary icon of the period based on the local folklore premise that Pasadena, California was a city with one of the largest death rates in the nation. Many elderly couples retired to Pasadena in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s as refugees from the Dust Bowl, refugees of the Great Depression, refugees of post-World War II. After a time the husband died, and the widow was left with the home. But in the garage would be the man’s car, that in most cases, she didn’t drive — an old Buick Roadmaster, or a 50-some-odd Cadillac, a vintage Ford, an old Packard, Studebaker, De Soto, La Salle. Used car salesmen were often spoofed as saying the previous owner was "a little old lady from Pasadena who only drove it to church on Sundays," thus suggesting the car had been only gently used.

From this premise Jan and Dean sang a song dedicated to that little old lady from Pasadena who, in the case of this tune, has a hot "Super Stock Dodge" in her garage. The twist: unlike the usual story, this little old lady not only drives the hot car, but is a street racer who can't be beat.

The little old lady on the album cover was portrayed by Kathryn Minner who starred in one of the largest Dodge commercial campaigns of the sixties with her famous tag line: “Put a Dodge in your garage, honey!” The song was later revised on an episode of Animaniacs where Slappy Squirrel was the little old lady driving around Pasadena.
