SOL 28/31 - Anniversary Thoughts & Wishes

Last Saturday we celebrated our 45th anniversary with our friends in Arkansas.  Last night we celebrated with our family here in Illinois.  Michelle asked questions to the girls and wrote their responses in a little book with pictures.

Grandma & Grandpa have been married for:

M - 20 years
P - 1000 year

(G & G had to agree - some days it feels like 20 and other it feels like 1000)

To be married means:

M & P - to be loved
P - It means love
M - You love each other 

To be in love means:

 M - You can stay together as a family
P - To stay as a family and be a Mommy & Daddy

How do they show love?

P - Hugging and Kissing
M - Kind and nice to each other - Kindful

What does Grandma do for Grandpa?

M - She gets him coffee
P - She takes care of him when he hurts

What does Grandpa do for Grandma?

P - He sets the table for her.
M - He brings her here!

Advice for You

Stay Happy & In Love
Say I Love You

Happy 45th Anniversary

    I thought their answers were priceless! They were making me giggle as I was asking them the questions and listening to their thoughtful responses. Some good advice from almost five year olds!

    You can tell these girls notice and know what love is. My favorite word is kindful. Isn't that what we all want to be?

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 9/25/12 - A New Beginning for a Special Couple

Image
Several weeks ago we were invited to a wedding for two very dear friends.  What a special occasion it was!  This is the second marriage for both of them and they are in their early 70's.  But, before telling you about the wedding, you need to know "the rest of the story". Jeannie's husband died about 10 years ago from heart related problems.  Several years after his death, she was involved in a terrible automobile accident and was never expected to walk again.  But through sheer determination (and the help of God) she walks without the aid of crutches.  At this point she really didn't have God in her life and I'm not sure at what point she found God (or more than likely, God found her).  She always asked God to find her that special man who had faith, was kind, had a great sense of humor and who loved her. Along came Richard.  His wife died about 5 years ago, also to heart related problems.  They "knew" each other through church, Bible ...
