Remembering the 80's

Just when you think no one will remember, your past can bite you in the butt!

The funny thing is Sara never looked like this but Johnnie boy sure did!

And when Nancy has all the wedding pictures to chose from, it didn't take much to find faces that fit!

Happy Anniversary!

Have YOU Seen This Couple???

Have you seen this loving couple?  John and Sara Debroka were last seen OR heard from in mid July.  Repeticious email, one concerning money owed to John from the state of Wisconsin, have gone unacknowledged.  Concerned family members are wondering if the mayhem of adding Gracie Joans to their core family group is the cause of the dearth of communication.

Perhaps GJ chewed up both phones? 

If you see or hear from John or Sara please tell them "the moms" are lonesome.

What a Wonderful World

  And I say to myself....

Johnso and Sara Jo left early this morning...they were such a joy to have here with us!

 

Happy Birthday Mom

...74 years.  Hope you got a whole cake to yourself!  Remember the year we bought a cake for Randy Bender and ate it all before he showed up?  Just you and I!  Best cake either of us had ever had.  When you turned 60 your kids sent you 60 red roses..you thought we were sending you a male dancer and ran away for the day.  Then there was your 43 birthday when we surprised you and Kris thought we forgot to bake the meatloaf...it was ground round and was supposed to be eaten raw.

Ode to Joy

I want to tell you about a friend of mine.  A fellow artist, she means the world to me.

Once in a great while, especially as one gets older, a person comes along and strikes a cord that resonates in harmony with your own song.  She's not perfect, but she's as close to it as anyone I know.  I'm not talking "perfect" as it applys to the material world, in fact, if she was, that would spoil her ambiance for me.  I'd say it's a spiritual thing, but that would be far to limiting to describe her light.  Her little light shines though, warmth that spills onto those of us around her.  Neither is it that she's an intellectual giant, no, she has way too much personality to be a genius.  She IS really smart, a thinking person always curious for more information.  A person not willing, but eager to explore herself and her beliefs.  Yes, she's a kind lady, but not a Mother Teresa by a long shot. 

So why do I think she's so wonderful?  Because she's real.  And she opens up her self to share with me.  When she talks to me it's open and honest.  Okay, and we think the same, we think enough alike to feel comfortable no matter what the situation.

Yup, we're a LOT alike.  But we're amazingly different in some major ways.  I'm an extrovert, she's reticent.  I'm "salty," she's lady-like.  I'm independent, she's a homebody. 

Yet. she's one of two people I've ever known that gets me.  She finds my constant humming amusing.

I like her a lot.  Can you tell?

Missing Mom

I miss my Mom.  She died last January and I can hardly believe it.  Now I only see her in my dreams.  Sadly, I never seem to know I should pay more attention, only when I wake do I realize I have lost a chance to have her hold me one more time.
