Today is my younger sisters 45th birthday. My beautiful sister has always amazed me and I wanted to take a moment to dedicate a post all to her. She is my half sister. Growing up, I’d see her every Sunday. Thank god for her because our older sisters were either not around or ignoring us. I spent the entire day with her and don’t really remember seeing my dad without seeing her. I remember we’d go downstairs in the basement,…
My girl turns 6 today. Zoey is the sweetest pup. She will lick you everywhere and loves to snuggle close. She is so smart. She will bark if her toy is under the furniture. If you don’t see it and she’s still barking, she’s always the one that’s right. The toy is somewhere under that furniture. I love everything about her sweet disposition. We started her birthday singing Birthday by the Beatles and bully sticks. She just melts my heart.
This is my daughter’s 23rd birthday. It is also the first year she isn’t home for her birthday. My beautiful baby girl, as she will always be, is now living 6 hours away. She has begun her adult life. She is starting to find her way around this crazy world. This is the first year I don’t get the chance to kiss her face on the day she was born. I’ve been there for every other year to wish her…
Well today is my 50th birthday. That is a number you never really think about until you are closer to the realization that you are there. I remember throwing my mother a surprise party for her 50th birthday. The biggest surprise of that day was that my aunt, her sister, actually picked up my grandma at the airport. Something that she NEVER did. I can still see the scene so vividly when everyone yelled surprise and my grandma popped up…
Another year has gone by and my daughter is a year older. 22 years old, do you remember being 22? Part of me feels like it was yesterday and the other part feels that it was so long ago. It was 27 years ago to be exact. She is 22 which is the age I met my husband. Five years from now I’d be giving birth to her. It’s crazy to think that she is starting her life. She graduated…
Still humid in NY. It rained but that didn’t help. However, i did see after tomorrow temperatures start to drop. Cross your fingers. I added another permanent link to an article that talks about different kinds of pain and how it effects sleep. That includes our wonderful multiple sclerosis symptom of restless leg which many of us deal with. They had some very useful tips so check it out. I also have the MS Gym link on my permanent links….
It is Zoey’s fourth birthday. She received all new Nylabones for her birthday and she was pretty happy. Zoey is my first and only girl dog. She has the sweetest temperament and is adored by everyone. Plus she is adorable. I realized today that she is the only dog who has been with every one of my dogs even if briefly. She came the week before my Boomer passed. He was the only one not fond of her so I…
My baby boy is 11 today. My April Fool’s Day puppy. Purchased for my daughter on her 10th birthday and he’s been attached to me since the day we brought him home. After doing tons of research before choosing my English Bulldog, we did none for the French. We thought he’d be a smaller version of our Boomer. We were very wrong. Named because he was white and we’d thought he’d be “mellow” we actually spell his name Marshmellow but…
https://youtu.be/emapZzstxzU Another year has gone by and another number added to my years alive. I certainly am not complaining. I am actually grateful. Things were really good this year. My life was completely changed by many people, friends, family and others that barely know me contributing to my fundraiser for my van. This was at the perfect time when walking with my walker was becoming too difficult. This van gave me freedom. I was able to conserve energy that I…
Today is the easiest blog I can write because I get to wish my daughter a happy 20th birthday. Anytime I’m writing about my daughter it is easy because she is an amazing young woman. She is beautiful and sweet, funny and goofy, smart and ditzy, kind and caring, loyal and loving but most of all she is a great person. It is easy to be a proud mom because she has a huge heart. I didn’t teach her that,…
