Hey Rapunzel,

Oh, that's cool... Snuggles...I bet you are so organized...
I used to be, when my kids were young, but it is more of a struggle now... I didn't have computers or the internet back then to lure me away and I didn't watch TV... I was Mrs. Little House on the Prairie Wife and Mother. Making my own dresses and a lot of my daughters dresses. Now, I just want to ride my bike & garden & partake.     I have so much I need to do inside my place... & it's mundane and boring, I never get caught up with it, & a lot of it just stays for quite while on the back burner. But, I can't do that forever... So, I am constantly finding a balance in my life, & realizing what my most important priorities are; & then focusing fully & giving them my all... It's a juggling act & I often get so sidetracked. |

"When the evening comes
This is when I think of you... On the road again and I'm by myself and I'm feeling blue.. And I think about the times we spent together and your face is getting harder to remember... when the evening comes...." by Jesse Colin Young and the Youngbloods |

Oh Rapunzel I am so totally unorganized. Did much better when I was attending college full time, working part time, and my children were in middle school. So now I am making up for a couple of years, where I left things go. Its time to clear the clutter from my home, and Im organizing so that the children can take their things that mean so much to them when they move on. One will be moving to Florida come next summer, the other one to the service. So I don't want to sit here, and mope around, watching over their things for them. They will go with them if possible, if not be put into storage because I plan on downsizing to an apartment, and moving also.

Wow...Thank you for sharing that with us...
I think it is a tough time to watch the children take their flegling flights from the highest cliffs, but it is comforting and empowering to know they you have imparted to them the necessary tools to be able to survive on their own... It is very emotional & sad in a way, yet it is soooo very thrilling to watch them test out their new wings in flight ... My children are well on their way to being full-fledged adults in their early 30's... it was hard to watch them make mistakes in their early adult years... They have done well, & even after the loss of their father, they have weathered well... They are very self sufficient yet they still are family oriented and haven't lost sight of the important things... I am very fortunate to have such good kids. |

Long Ago & Far Away..... by James Taylor
Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams Slowly passing sailing ships and sunday afternoon Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be Where do those golden rainbows end? Why is this song so sad? Dreaming the dreams Ive dreamed my friend Loving the love I love To love is just a word Ive heard when things are being said Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold And in between what might have been and what has come to pass A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass Where do your golden rainbows end? Why is this song I sing so sad? Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend Loving the love I love to love to love to love |

Cheers to you Gary... "It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat a nd blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but he who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt

You Guys... Sisters and Brothers... I just want to send some hugs & love & thank you for your support & prayers... Everyone who cares about our troops.... Please, please keep them always in your prayers. I know I sound obsessed, maybe I am... I'm sorry, I usually am pretty strong, but... I just can't even get through the news  It is just a big huge mess there  and our innocent loved ones are right there in the middle of it all So, I really appreciate you all... And I'm sure that Gary will too when he finally gets to be online. I got an email from his brother,  and I'll keep you posted if I hear from him again soon... and I hope we get to hear from the Major Dude Himself... {{{<<GARY>>>}}} |
