October 2010

Wow do you believe it October is here - plan for this month - Thanksgiving with my family was amazing. My daughter's work (Gobble Gobble) catered this year and what a treat that was. Kelly my middle sister hosted and that was a treat - almost everyone was there. Ryan my nephew and his son Morgan were the only ones missing. Got some nice family pics done and enjoyed spending time outside on a beautiful fall day. October 22nd would have been my step son's 25th birthday so Amanda, Isabella and I went to the gravesite to pay our respects and to release some balloons and think back to some special memories a young mans life ended at 21. We all miss him dearly. Today October 29th we are celebrating Isabella's 1st birthday. Joe and Dave are coming over (Unlce Dave is buying her cake) and we are going to celebrate and enjoy what this year has meant to all of us. Her pool party will take place October 30th at Millenium Pl and we are expecting about 16 people so hopefully the day will be filled with fun, family and friends. Looking forward to next Month - November will bring great memories as well.

I want to be remembered as someone that was there. I mean available. I love to create memories with my grand child. I have read many posts recently about memories of loved ones that have now passed. I struggle with my memories, as I can't recall a lot of childhood memories with my grandparents, or cousins since I didn't spend a lot of time with them growing up. Both my parents relatives lived a distance away. I hear of others recall memories of their childhood and the time they spent with others with gratitude. When I think back on my past I have feelings of sadness and missed opportunities. I look at my grand daughter and hope that she remembers the trips we took, the time we laughed playing silly games, reading stories and knows that it was time well spent and worth remembering. I shed tears for the children that don't have memories of a happy childhood and for parents and grand parents that missed opportunities to laugh, live and be loved by the little people that

So here goes, it's 2010 and I have created a blog. I have wanted to blog for awhile but just wasn't sure on what I really wanted to say. My older sister has been blogging for awhile and always look forward to reading the latest happenings in her life. My reason for blogging is just to share some thoughts, or maybe remember my own thoughts of what is happening in my life throughout the year. I will begin to add favorite photos and collections that I enjoy. If anyone would like to say hi please feel free.

I know, I know, I'm posting and haven't posted since July. I don't know why. I do know why....I feeel like my blogs are the same...i have been so preoccupied with other things that I haven't taken the time as I should to dedicate to my blog. I apologize..this was really something that I wanted to keep up with at this stage of my life to keep me on track with the day to day things that were happening. I forget sometimes that life has a way of taking over and one day rolls into one week, one month, and so on. My plate really isn't that full, but my thoughts about other things that aren't important are taking over from what is really important. I'm hoping that 2013 will see me reflecting more on the "what's important to me". So since July let's see if I can't recall what has been happening in my "busy" life. It seems the summer has come and gone with a flash. My dear friend lost her brother to cancer and it was a very hard time
