Happy 10th Birthday to my Granddaughter



Is It Time or Other Places That Keeps Me ?

Actually I have been extremely busy these past years with getting my life together, maturing by reading Scriptures and other places. Other places? I do mean my blog over on 360 which you will find a link to.

I do find blogger.com a nice warm place to be. After all, my sisters and my daughter are here although they have not blogged in as long as I have not. Laura has moved on to her "grown up" blog and I need to update that url for her here. She is certainly grown to be a person being with her own mind and ways of doing things. I just wished she didn't mind my hugs when I greet her and leave her.

Reminds me of a story my grandmother told me once. When Lois was a little girl and the Pilgrim family came to visit her fathers farm in Royston, Georgia from over the border in South Carolina she would run and hide under the bed so as not to have to give out hugs or receive them. And now, it is her great granddaughter, Laura that does not wish to be hugged. mmmmmmmmmmm? And I don't believe Laura knew that story about her great grandmother Lois.

This year on the 20th of January, we have lost our mother Ruby. Seems like yesterday and already it has been just over 3 months.

My son Frank has come back to the states from 5 years overseas stationed in Japan and Korea. He now resides at Eglin Air Force base in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. He brought back with him a lovely wife and Aileen is my daughter. I love her dearly and some of her ways are mine. We have a lot in common to our likes and dislikes. That is just so cool!

After about four years I finally took a break and took a vacation down to visit them. I really had a sweet quiet time with them. Aileen even mentioned the night before I left that she wished I would stay longer. That really made me feel good and more than anything I wish I could of stayed longer. But, owning my own business and having to return to my obligations in north Georgia, I had to go home.

Well, this has updated my blog here and hope my family will update there and add pictures as I hope to soon. Want to share my vacation pictures with the rest of you. Check back soon.

*hugs* God Bless you and keep you safe.
