Old Photo...

I was surfing facebook and came across a page called Southside Columbus Alumni and to much my surprise was a photo of Diane's 1st Communion. Wow, so cool. Another collection to our family album. I was thinking, maybe I or we should start a blog for the Family and put old family photos and memoirs on it so everyone can enjoy a bit of our nostalgia. I have lots and I'm sure you two may have some things to add. Just a thought.

Liz, are you all settled in now? I love the condo, everything looks bright and shiny. Are you two enjoying your downtime?

I miss you already Lori. I'm ready for a girls weekend again! It has been awhile and we could all use the quality time together. Let's try and plan something before winter.

I need to get off here and finish packing the camper for the weekend. We are going to Hargus Lake and taking the kayaks and bicycles. If you and Danny Boy get bored...come on down! You and Earl can come too Lori.

Love you two!

Missing Diane

Diane keeps popping up in my brain and memories. Wow, I sure do miss her. Here is a quote that I came across today: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Speaking on this subject, one of the guys who reports to my boss lost his wife to cancer this past weekend. She was only 43 years and has young children. Her situation ended very much like Diane's - cancer went to liver, hospice involved, family with her when she passed. So sad, isn't it? I HATE cancer. There must be something we can do?!

Sorry to bring you down - just venting a little.

I love you girls.

doesn't work Susie

It doesn't take me back to the log in screen. I'll keep messing with it.

We're just sitting on the porch - it's a great morning but we're missing our Sunday Dispatch - one of our traditions every Sunday.

Aiden spent the night with us and we're taking him home about the time of his birthday party - what's left of it! Since George has pink eye and they are all feeling puney, that cuts out a bunch of people. I'm thinking Mel won't come if Kelly doesn't come so there goes a few more!

Dan (and me too) is having a time adjusting to nothing to do - no big projects, that is. I think since we've been busting our butts for the last 5 years on one project or another, it seems weird. I don't mind it near as much as he does. He still does the stock market and all his dometic duties but I'm thinking he needs to find something to do with himself. Maybe a part time job would work! I really don't care about that though - if he works or not. He's still contributing.

I'm still working full time and until we figure out another house (or not) I'm afraid to cut my hours since we may need to get a little mortgage if we can't find something to pay cash for. I want so much to work fewer hours and days so I'm looking intently for a nice little not much work required house. We've looked at a few. One we looked at was SOOOOO much work we both knew right away it wasn't for us! Yippeee.

Ok, Aiden is up and ready to talk my ear off. I'll talk with you girlies later.

Lots of lovin!

Scarry, scarry thought!

Since Diane created and owns this blog, what is going to happen to it if her account gets shut down?! Will we be able to continue???? I would hate to lose all these wonderful words. Would one of you figure it out? It makes me so sad thinking about those possibilities.
In the meantime, maybe we should start another blog.
I love you two Sissies! I have to work my big fat butt off today so i'm outa here!

comments

I still can not comment on anyones post, so I guess I'll just make a new post whenever I want to comment.
Glad to here that you are all in your new place and getting settled in Liz. I'd love to see pics.

I may not make it to Aiden's B-Day Party, but will send my love with the girls. I have a gazillion things to do here while Randy is home and in the mood to help me.

I looked up reviews of the Lincoln Lawyer and it does sound like a very good book. Something I'd like to read, I'll try and find it this week when I'm out and about.
Well, I hope this comment posts...

Love you both

Hello Out There!

Well, things have settled a little here and thought I'd snatch a few minutes to try this darn blog again.
We're all moved in and most of the boxes that are in the townhouse are put away. the garage, on the other hand, is still packed full! I'll take some pictures soon and send them to you. Now that we've put things away the townhouse doesn't seem so bad.
We were going to go to the auction today but the house we were interested in was cancelled at the last minute. We'll just keep watching and take our time. I really liked the house - it didn't need much work - but it was located in a very congested area.
Are either of you coming to Sarah's on Sunday for Aiden's birthday party? I do know you can't this year - there's always next year....... or when he graduates from high school! HaHaHaHa
This Lincoln Lawyer book is quite good - Susie you should get reading on it and you can join in on this engaging conversation that Lori and I are having about it. Lori, you'll be surprised at some of the things that are about to happen! My, my, my......
Ok, now I feel better that I've commented here. Of course, the real test will be if I am able to post it.
Talk to you both soon.
