Happy Mothers Day to all those mothers out there past and present. Those who devoted their lives to changing dirty diapers among other things. Who spent their time taking care of their children. Who always put their children first. You’re what makes the world go round. Hope you know how much you’re appreciated and loved. May you have a wonderful day and feel all the love. 💕

Today is Robbin’s celebration of life in Middletown, Indiana. I’m sorry that I can’t be there in person but I am in spirit. I’m sending many prayers up for Dan, Blake and Becky. I was sitting here reflecting on our visit to Indiana in 2010 and my visit to her camper. There were so many friends there, we laughed and reminisced about high school times. It was so much fun connecting with everyone. There was never a dull moment with Robbin. We had so much fun. Until we meet again Robbin, Godspeed.

There are some people who spend lots of money thinking they will make lots of money and it ends up being a bust. They spend a lifetime doing this, and they never get anywhere with it. They move from one big idea to the next. I would like to have the money they waste, to me they are too lazy to work for someone. Maybe they will wake up someday and work! Try it you may like it, lol!

I am so happy to say that I have reconnected with my friend Barbara whom I considered one of my best friends in the 70’s. We’ve known each other for 40 plus years. We hung out together a lot, we had lots of fun but I lost touch with her after I got married to Troy. She was my Bridesmaid and Thea Ann was my Maid of Honor. We moved to Fairmount after our wedding so I lost touch with Barb. I found her again a couple of years ago on Facebook but she once again disappeared, but she is back on Facebook so we have re-connected. It would be great to see her if I make it up to Indiana for my reunion. I have lots of good memories from our days of riding around the block in Middletown, lol. We sure racked up a lot of miles but we had fun doing it. So cheers to long lasting friendships like ours…….

I wouldn’t want to be like you, I don’t care what you do, I wouldn’t want to be like you…..The Alan Parsons Project. I think that song was meant for me today, it was the first one I heard. The words are so true. And I feel it…..

I’ve decided that in the future I will stay away from those who are all about themselves. Those who are troublemakers, lazy, those who use others to get what they want, so they don’t have to work for anything. I’m glad I can say I worked hard all my life to get where I am and so did Troy. I remember many a night he worked all night to get some programming done. I appreciated him. It’s important to appreciate people for all that they do for you. They won’t always be around. I miss him, I miss all his little quirks. In two short months he will have been gone for 10 years. It will be yet another reminder of his passing….

As I get closer to the ten year anniversary I am reminded of those who have used me. You see after Troy passed, certain family would come to visit and they always managed to leave with something. When Troy passed, all of his possessions became mine. That’s how it works. But some family thought they were entitled to what they wanted. They never asked me if they could take the things, they just took them. And I’m not talking about inexpensive things either. But here’s the real kicker. After they got all they wanted, they wrote me a nasty letter telling me what a horrible person I was and They could no longer be around me. I wasn’t horrible while they were taking my things or my money but I was once they were done taking. Lesson learned 101….Trust no one!
