Where we are not going and cann't do

Well, a bunch of folks I know are headed out west to see the Grand Canyon
and to see San Francisco and other points out west. We just cann't afford to drive
out of the state this year but have high hopes of going somewhere next
year. That is if gas prices start to level off at something less than $20.00 a gallon
at which case I am sure we will have plenty of company staying at the ole home
stead.
My oldest grandchild is heart broken as her boyfriend has left to go to Iraq.
So we are all keeping him and so many others over there in our prayers that
they will return soon and safe. One of her best friends also has a fella over there
as does someone in our lil church. I wish I could end the mess over there so
she would have stuff like thinking about college instead.
The newspapers are filled with ads of get your Dad this or that. Oh how I wish I
could but this is the third Fathers Day my Dad is in heaven. I still miss him
very much but know we will be together again some day. I love you Daddy.
The only father in law I have ever had is entering the third phase of Alzheimers
and I wish I could stop it but we cann't. He has been the sweetest person
you will ever meet. He always could find time to stop and talk to me when we
lived close bye years ago. His mind is going now but he remembers some of the
family. Last Christmas as he was leaving our house I gave him a kiss and he
grinned and said that was a nice present. God Bless You Dad.
