Baby's B-day

It just iritates the heck out of my youngest daughter to be called the baby
but she is like it or not.Today the youngest of my beautiful daughters has a b-day
I cann't realize she is 37 already. Funny how mothers remember the first
time they held a certain child. My youngest daughter was so pretty when she was new-born
that everyone had to comment on it. The other two girls were cute but the youngest
had this head full of curls. The nurses in the maternity section just had
to get some bows to put in her hair. That was cute.
My youngest has a lot to be proud of in her life as I and her step-dad
and her father are proud of her. She seems to be happy with her life and I
hope that she is. I wish you years of love, years of happiness, my lovely
LEE ANJEANETTE. Your always proud Mom.

Old Friends

Just heard from one of my e-mail buddies about a couple more of
our classmates who have passed away. Bummer!! When your in your 50's and 60's
you kinda expect to lose your parents. Altho I would have prefered
not to lose my so close together, along with my only uncles in
a space of less than 16 months. This classmate who lost a younger
brother to a heart attack and a sister to cancer must seem so
alone.The rest of us from our tiny lil school will keep him
in our prayers. We have whole school reunions every few years
as the whole school from grades 9 to 12 were a total of less than
75.But at last head count I am pretty sure we are less than 45. It will
be good to see everyone this fall again.I am sure we will all have
a toast to all the ones we have lost this past two years. Gettin old
is the pits at times!!!

E-Mail

Don't ya just love E-mail?? I have relatives who think their arms would
fall off if they wrote a letter much less called you on the cell phone. But lo and behold
they will write e-mails till the cows come home. I have a sister who I try to call
every now and then but all I ever get is her answering machine, this goes on
for months and months, then once in a while I will send a joke I think she will
appreciate. Today she writes me on a return e-mail, "nice to hear from you
if only a joke". Try checking your answering machine Sister!!
I have been e-mailing the oldest Grandchild who is in the National Guard on
acitve duty and I just love hearing from her. Kinda keeps her closer.
I also have a cousin I have not seen in over 20 years but he e-mails me several
times a week, never anything nasty just neat stuff he comes across. I hope to get
to see him next year when we go to my next to youngest Sisters, now she is
always in touch. If I call her, she checks phone messages and I will get a call
and we get to visit a while........nice!!
My husband and I have friends who are quite funny, she sends sexy stuff
and he will send religious stuff. Guess they think they balance each other
out.
My favorite e-mail buddy is my youngest daughters mother in law. She is
a delightful person who can e-mail two full pages to answer your question
" How are things going Carol?". In the summer I know she is busy with
her garden and her neighbors garden but come fall I will be hearing again
from her. Its fun knowing her life in New York State.
Well, whatever and whoever comes your way happy E-mailing.
