… you’ve heard this before so I’ll be brief.
On 10/30/06, my family was victim to a random act of violence. Now 12 years later we remember and we are grateful. Other stuff (some of it way worse) has happened since that fateful day. Sure puts things into perspective.
Ima go out and run through the leafeses just like my blogging pal Joey. Ha! Crunch, crunch, crunch!!! Wishing everyone a wonderful day!!
This was my gift 🎁 I have always been a cheap date 
😂. When it rains you improvise and stay close to 
🏡. Nothing says loving like Denny’s and Walmart walking 
😊

On this day 34 years ago I married my best friend. Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness despite some pretty horrific stuff along the way. So much for me being sentimental huh?
As always, more to come.
Hmmm 🤔
A new category perhaps?
Of course a new category is the fastest way to run out of things to say. And I don’t want that to happen. I’m on a 32 day streak! Woo to The Who \m/
On This Day might work though. Not as a daily but I’d have some fodder. Like Caption This! or Sing Along Song. I guess I’ll take the category out for a spin.
Or not!
Lol 😆
The block begins 😟.
As always, more to come.
B was at work, Lulu was at Salem Sayers Mother’s Day Out, and Pony was in school. I was working night shift but had the night off.
P and I were planning dad’s annual birthday party at either Pesos Cafe or Snoga’s where dad would treat all of us to lunch on HIS birthday! We’d go back to the house for cake and ice cream afterwards. We stayed on the phone (not saying much) just to be connected as we watched our TVs simultaneously, in two different cities.
One crash, then two, then they are saying the crash was on purpose. People jumping from buildings. “Why would they do that?” I asked my sister. “As an option to burning to death” she replied.
No words! All of it was un-freaking-believable. One of those moments that we’d look back on and remember where we were and what we were doing on that infamous day.
My dad would be 102 today (9/11/18) if he were still alive. He liked to celebrate and lived a good life. He taught us well and we live by his examples. Be kind. Service before self.
Here are two candid pictures from his party on that Saturday after September 11, 2001.
They are all that I can find. I am grateful I have them. I am grateful we didn’t cancel his birthday party. I am grateful that we will NEVER forget.
