 HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Well, let's try this again!!! I just wrote for over an hour in my journal and then it just disappeared! (GRRRRRRRRRRR) FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday and all the kiddies are gearing up to have a great trick or treat night. We had ours here in our town on Thursday night because of the Talladega Nascar Race this week end.  We are 10 minutes away from the track. I always stay close to home during race week-end unless I go out while the race is running and then you better get back home before it ends or you will find yourself in a huge traffic jam.

Thanks to everyone that sent happy birthday wishes to me on my birthday. I feel very honored and loved. You are the best!  I had a lovely birthday.  Two friends (Donna and Joe) took me to lunch and also gave me a beautiful pair of earrings, a Tiger letter opener and a beautiful card.

That evening my Sis and Jeff took me to dinner at The Olive Garden.  My sis paid for my dinner and gave me a beautiful card and Jeff gave me a three piece outfit and a very touching card.  I was so impressed with what it said I just have to share it with everyone. It really touched my heart.

MOMS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER!

You've had a bad day or a terrible night.

And you don't have the strength to stand up and fight.

You want to give up.

Life is awful. all right,

But who really cares?

It's your Mom

Your heart just got broken.

You're feeling alone,

with more anger and sadness than you've ever known,

So you take a deep breath and pick up the phone.

Who's always there?

It's your Mom.

You're so overwhelmed,

There's just too much to do.

It feels like the whole world is leaning on you.

You can't imagine how you'll ever get throught.

Who's by your side?

It's your Mom.

You're upset and confused-big decisions to make.

Which path to pursue?

Which chances to take?

Would it be a smart move or an awful mistake?

Who'll be your guide?

It's your Mom

Yes, all through your life, whatever you need

To make you feel better or help you succeed...

Some advice or a hug

or a kind, thoughtful deed,

It's always one hundred percent guaranteed:

Who loves you the most?

It's your Mom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD!

I love you so very much Mom,

Jeff

I am so thankful that the Lord has given me the opportunity  to be here for Jeff and that he feels this way about me.  We have been through an awful lot together, but our love for each other has out-weighed the bad things in this world and made us stronger.  Alot of the times we didn't have anyone but each other.   Thank you Jeff, Carolyn, (my sis)  Beth, Chris, Donna, Joe, teresa and Dale for all your wonderful wishes.

Oh, by the way, check out a picture of me that I just posted on my photo's. My friend Teresa Shell posted this picture of me on her facebook page.  I looked it up and I could'nt believe I ever looked like this and it was just fourteen years ago.  I was 56 years old when it was taken.

OMG, what happened in 14 years? (lol)

I am watching the Auburn-Ole Miss. game. Right at this moment we are ahead 10 to 7.  We haven't played very well the last three games so we may lose this one too.  I hope your team wins this week-end unless it is Ole-Miss! (lol)

Everyone have a great Halloween!

Love to all!
