LAST WEEKEND OF SUMMER VACATION

This weekend will be a bit chaotic….one wayward son is coming home…presently he is stationed at Ft. Hauchula Arizona…he is being trained in Interrogation and Intelligence gathering. I am one very proud mom…totally support anything he wants to do… it has been a difficult road tho because both my sons (who are twins) left home at the same time to pursue careers in the army… so it really hit hard at home–

I love it when he comes home–he loves to help his dad out getting things done around the house and then hook up with his friends for fun nights on the town…but then that time always rolls around again and he will have to leave…so I will enjoy the next 48 hours and soak up his laughter and jokes and craziness and then with tears let him go yet again.

At the same time…this is the last weekend of summer vacation for my daughter.. so we have to get everything set for her and her final year of school…senior year should be so exciting for her. Of course her anxiety level is running on high…anxious about what lies ahead. I am just the mom and I am anxious about what lies ahead…but I just know the year will be filled with lots of important decisions and great memories.

Peace!!

MOTHER’S DAY

Mother’s day has come and gone and it was quite nice to be honest…
I started it off by calling my own mother…She and my father live about 4 hours south of us…they used to live only  20 minutes away but they moved at the insistence of my brother from their house to a duplex that my brother owns so that they do not have to pay a mortgage payment or anything…the only bill they have to worry about now is the electric and phone…financially I am sure this helps them out…but now they live in an area where there is nothing around…they have no friends down there…when they lived closer they belonged to several church groups and associations. Where they live now it is not meant as a retirement area…it is for “yuppie” families…so there is nothing catering to the elderly.

I really miss them…but I wander here…I called them..especially my mom to wish her a BEAUTIFUL day…we caught up on the news for the week…all sounded well…I guess my brother and his wife are taking the folks out for dinner so that is a great way to spend Mother’s Day.

One of my sons, who is stationed at Ft. Hauchula in Arizona, called me for Mother’s Day…it really made my day to hear from him…his twin brother who is stationed at Goodfellow AFB in Texas did not call…but I do realize Army life can interfere in normal every day things…I am sure I will hear from him soon enough.

My daughter who still lives at home…who is just finishing her junior year in high school made me a gorilla candle holder for Mother’s Day out of clay…here is a picture of it:

It has not been fired yet…but I LOVE it…it is adorable…she also made breakfast and dinner for me…and baked a cake….so I was very spoiled…and had a very peaceful day…

I am very grateful to my children…without them I would never know the true blessings of Mother’s Day…

A NEW KIND OF BLOG!

My daughter and I decided to try out a new type of blog for both of us…
A mother-daughter blog…where we would blog about anything on our minds …give you our prospective on the world as we see it through our own eyes…and then you get a point of view….a theory…an opinion of two for the price of one…now how novel is that.

We hope that you will stop by often and see what we are up..
We have alot of similiar interests…some being: collecting things, arts & crafts, photography, we both enjoy writing, laughing, chatting the hours away.

You will definitely get to know us only after reading a few entries by us…we are very open, honest, blunt, and tend to just say what is on our mind…Just us in this new venture!

PEACE–
