Good Morning Sweet Girls, I am starting to write my children’s book this morning. It is a book about/for children who are missing some adult they love very much. This is one of the pages: This is Shirley. She is a Grandma who loves her Granddaughter, Bea very much. Today and many days, Shirley is…
Saying good bye is always hard. But it is especially hard when you really love the other person. I’m not so naive as to think some boy or two hasn’t turned your head since I last saw you. And I’m sure you’ve both experienced a bit of heartbreak. How do you get over it? First,…
One thing I know for SURE – my parents love me. They taught me to appreciate my uniqueness. I am kind of an odd bird. But they allowed me to be who I am. Now that the tide is turning and I find myself taking care of their needs, I appreciate how THEY want things…
A butterfly doesn’t start out beautiful. She starts out as a caterpillar, creeping and crawling on the ground. Then – if she doesn’t get eaten – she finds herself in the darkness of her cocoon. Only after several months of darkness does the butterfly immerge. Your time to fly will come, sweet sisters. You are…
Today is the wedding anniversay of Grandma and Grandpa. They were married in a little church in Erie, PA on November 4, 1967.

This month, I think we should really focus on counting our blessings. There really is so much to be thankful for. I’m thankful, for example, that I have SO many pictures of the two of you. It makes me feel closer to you both. In fact, I’m making a collage of black and white pictures…
Yes, I’m watching the World Series of Baseball. I love baseball! Yes, I’m rooting for the Cubs. Why? History. They haven’t won a World Series since 1908. It’s their turn. And as of right now…it looks like the Cubs are winning. I’m going to REALLY talk about the small joys of life, this month. I’m…
Some people seem to have all the luck. Everything good happens to them. I know it seems that way. And we ALL have years that are harder than others. Even these people who seem to have it all have tough years they have to get through. Having resilience is the key. You have to make…
I had a really nice dream about you both. We were all at the beach and you both were having a wonderful time. Purity was in a peach bikini and Bea’s bikini was indigo colored. The boys were checking you both out! I got concerned about this (boys can be really crude, you know), so…
Big Bro has to work graveyard shift tonight. I sent him a card about a week ago, but he didn’t get it. So, tonight I sent him a Pizza Hut gift card via email. No tricks! That’s a nice treat for him. That’s my last treat to give out tonight. I had over 400 kids…
