Hi Ladies,
Thought that I would stop by and let you all know that I am still alive. Just so busy around here with the grands and my daughter that have not had much time to write. This is the first minute that I have been able to come on here without all of them sitting here trying to read what I am writing.lol Not that it matters but it is hard with them all milling around and talking.
Hope to be able to talk to everyone tomorrow.
Colleen

Hi Barbara,
I know what you mean about all the new stuff that they have for babies now. Did she get on of those things that make the baby bottle for her. It puts in the water and the formula and all you have to do is shake it up. You do not have to heat the bottles anymore either. My daughter got one of those and she has a camera that they have in the bedroom and you can see everything the baby is doing. I cannot figure that thing out either. So I just leave it on and the whole time that I am there. I tried once to turn it off and I messed it up. Kevin had to fix it again. So it is like mom do not touch anything we will take care of it when we get home.lol
That was not right to bring all of that on you. If the woman was that upset she should have stayed home and let you go and enjoy yourself. You should not have had to leave because of her. Things do get lost in the mail and I am sure if Sarah calls her and explains it will be okay. She should have known that something happened since they asked about her. That is one of those things where you just move on and enjoy yourself. They will have to work that out themselves.
I know what you mean Barbara. There is just trouble all the time. People need to settle down and just take care of their own business. God loves all of us just the same and so we should act accordingly. All we can do is pray.
Well that is all from today have a good day.

Hi Adele,
I know that when we had that trouble in Ferguson the parents could not send their kids to school. It was too dangerous for them to wait for the bus. It is just sad what they are doing here. I wish everyone would just behave and get along with each other. Do not take it out on other people because of what a few have done.
There is a lot of crazy things going on here. We have to freeze a lot of peaches today. I cannot believe all the peaches that he brought home. It is going to take me all night to do this. Your blue berry cobbler sounds really good and with home made ice cream that will really be good. Your grands will be glad to get that today.
Well I guess I better go. I have a lot to do. They are all gone now so need to clean the house and get the peaches done. Have a great day will talk to you later.

Hi Dianne,
I like the pictures that you posted. They are so bright and cheerful. We all need that right now. There is not telling what is going to happen next. I wish that there was a way to stop all of this nonsense. All we can do is pray for help from the Lord. That is just so sad.
Your weather sounds pretty nice there. It is hot and humid here. We really need a break in the weather. Hope that it comes soon. I think that last summer spoiled us. It would be really hot a couple of days and then it would cool down for awhile. That will not happen again for a long time.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
It is sad that all of this trouble is happening again. It is hard to understand why things happen but I guess the word gun must have spooked that cop. They do not know what anyone is going to do anymore. I do not think it matter if they are black or white. It is hard right now. I just keep praying that this will all be settled soon.
My dad was in Japan. He was there after they dropped the bomb. He was involved in the clean up there. He had to watch for snipers and things like that. I do not know if there were any left but that was part of what he did.There is not telling what all he saw there and he would never talk about it. Do not know if my mom knew or not. She would never say anything. Because that is the way that he wanted it. I cannot imagine what all of that must have been like. Your dad is probably the same way. He saw a lot but did not talk about it after he got home. How sad that your mom never got to go home again. It would be hard to have to live so far from home and not be able to go back. How neat that you mom and dad met while he was in Germany. It was probably hard on her when she first come to the states. She had a very interesting life.
We are fine here. We live too far out for anything much to start here. We do have a lot of nephews on the police force though. One of them is the chief of police in the town next to ours. He never seems to be worried though. Hope that things are safe in your area. You would think with all the terrorists that we have that we would be concentrating on them and not on this stuff. It is just sad.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
He was supposed to go a few weeks ago but they put him in some type of school for awhile. He has passed his class and is now qualified to be a staff sergeant. So that was exciting news. I really am glad that he made it. He will have to wait until he gets home to be promoted. He is really doing well.
We all have our own way of doing things so it is hard when someone else comes and stays and wants to do things their way. So it is okay for awhile but I am like you it can only go on for so long and then I get upset. I think that Ron is just as bad maybe worse. It is just hard on everyone.
I agree with you it is hard to do all of that running with the kids and still go to work. I do not know if I could do that. That is so nice that they have the reading club at the library. My older grand kids use to go to that here but they are too old for it now. I am not sure if they have that at the other schools that my other grands go to. I am not even sure that they have it in the library close to us. Which is a shame.
Well I have inherited another grand child. My 14 yr. old grand came back with Melissa and is spending the night. So it will be interesting. I do not know where everyone is going to sleep. I guess they will all work it out.
Well that is about all from here. It is really sad that all of this is happening in the world. I just wish that there was something to stop it all. We just need to learn to get along.
well have a good night.

Hi Gail,
Stephen has already been deployed. He left on Wednesday morning. He is probably in Korea already. I was glad that Melissa came here for awhile. We will get on each others nerves before too long. She has her way of doing things and I have mine. So we are going to clash.
I think that Melissa will need to be around all the army wives also. It makes it nice when they are all together and can keep each other company. I think that she will be safer then she would be living off base also. At least no one can get on base without being checked on. I just feel it will be safer for her. She will not have to move all her animals either.
That has to be hard on both of you. You know that he is in pain and there is nothing you can do for him and he is just in pain. Men always seem to go to work when they are hurting. I guess it is easier for them to work then to sit at home. They also have a sense of responsibility. I hope that things work out for him at the pain clinic.
Have you had any luck finding out why you are not getting your messages? For awhile I would get one of the messages from here but none of the rest. I have no idea why that happened but it is okay now. This site is really hard to figure out. The other one was so simple.
How are your grand kids enjoying the summer? I hope that Kendall is having a good summer. She probably has a lot of friends in the neighborhood. It is fun for them when they have other kids to play with. Do they get to go to the pool a lot during the summer? I guess that you have started your babysitting duties again. I have to go on Monday.
Not much else going on here. Have a good night.
Colleen
