REMEMBERING MEMA WEEK........

At 3:50pm today it will be 8 years that Mema has Passed away., One very sad day in our life. Although its been 8 years it seems like it wasn't that long ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday and still miss her terribly, The world just doesn't seem right without her. So once again upon Mema's request that she never be forgotten I am keeping my promise to her that she will not and will keep all her wonderful memory's going, Please help me to Remember mema this week. A wonderful woman, Mother, wife, and mother-in-law, especially ( Grandmother). The 1st memory that comes to my mind right now of her is when I met Gedy in Almy's, my friend introduced him to me and for me (it was love at first sight). Well one day when I was working as a waitress in almys a woman sat down in the booth, I went over to take her order and with this Beautiful smile on her face she said I will just have a vanilla milk shake please. As I am carrying the milkshake over to her on a tray my friend came up from behind me (we were working together that day) and just as I got ready to give the woman her milkshake my friend said...Linda, Thats Gedy's Mother....the tray hit the counter and the milkshake went all over Mema! As i stood there in shock apologizing like crazy Mema looked at me with a smile and said...Its ok honey..it will wash out its only milk! Gosh, How I miss her so. I know she is looking Down at us today with that same smile upon her face and saying, WOW! I remember all those things happening, So please share with us your favorite story about "MEMA" with us this week. Tomorrow would have been her.. (87th) Birthday!! Please say a prayer for mema today., The woman that we loved and Miss so much!!! MEMA, I love & miss you with all my heart, thank you for being in my life and for all the great memory's i will carry with me always.

How can you not crack up at that? I love my hubby, he keeps me laughing!

the 2nd gift was from my wonderful husband. I hinted to him about a month ago that maybe santa would bring me a new camera (I've had my eye on this for awhile now). Well, to my surprise the bell rang today and the ups man handed me this box. I can't imagine what my face must have looked like when i opened it and seen the camera, I actually felt a smile for the 1st time in a month. Its amazing How someone thinking about you can make you feel so wonderful! So a Big Thank you to my awesome husband who is just the greatest man ever! and a big thank you to Jim & Rita! You made my day awesome, thank you!

A long and slow road to Recovery.

For those of you who haven't heard about my mom being in the Hospital I will give you an update. My mom went in the Boston medical hospital over 2 weeks ago with chf, she was in there for 1 week and was sent to st josephs rehab and 15 minutes after arriving at st joes she was rushed back to Boston Medical with chf again. The next day the dr called saying my mom could no longer breath on her own and was on a breathing machine to breath for her. It wasn't until last friday that the tube was taken out and she was breathing on her own again. There is alot more to this story but I just don't want to go back there right now. I slept in the hospital waiting room for i week until i felt my mom was doing better. she is still very weak but making a slow recovery which I am so grateful for. I have too much going on right now so blogging is being put on hold until my mom is doing better, please keep her in your prayers, thank you.

GIRLS GONE WILD (TWO).....

BIRTHDAY CARD!

Brian got this card for his Birthday and I thought it was so funny, just had to share!

GIRLS GONE WILD!!!!!!

This video is from a few months back but i posted it because at the moment I don't have anything new going on. Let me just tell you this girl is so crazy!!!! theres nothing she can't climb or won't try to do, stace has her hands full with nattie. I think we knew she was going to be a handful when she was found outside of her house at 11 months old, she did walk down the stairs herself and opened the door, stace found her just in time cuz she was headed down the driveway! Oh Nattie!!!!AS a plaque that I have with a pic of my 3 girls says on it.......".Thank Heavens for little Girls "
