Many Many years ago Jesus walked this earth as you and I do today, He came as a baby and was raised by Joseph and Mary.; He went about his fathers business and was known to be in the synagogs(Church) teaching even as a young boy.; He grew to manhood and was tempted as you and I are today. He lived his life; as an example that we should follow.; On a friday He was hung on a cross high on a hill and mocked and scorned by soldiers and the people of the day.; He gave his life that you and I might be free from the snare of the devil if we choose to be.; We can have eternal life and live with him on high forever because HE gave his life for;our sins.;We can look forward to Easter Sunday when he Arose from the grave as we one day will arise from ours and live eternally. He said In his fathers home there are many mansions and we shall live there one day.; I;want to be in that number when my time on this earth is over. Thank You Heavenly Father....

While we were looking at all the pkg under the tree that morning, you would not beleive what Bonnie was up to, that little scamp chose the kitchen for her foray, there she was sitting at the table when Mom checked on her with a 1/2 of ; chocolate pie sitting in front of her and her face smeared with chocolate stains.; There was happy smiles all over her face and when Mom opened the door you will not beleive how fast one little girl can jump down and run to be with her brothers and sisters.; We all loved Mom;s pies and who could blame her for rushing to try it out before we all found them.; To this day I have never tasted chocolate as good as Mom's......................

I have awoke early this morning and when I looked out back window what should I spy but three deer walking around slowly checking out our yard, I like to think they are raindeer doing a practice run, after all it is almost Christmas in Ga.; In my minds eye I can see the years slip by and there is Mom and Daddy and all my brothers and sister getting up early on Christmas morn and checking out the pkg under the tree.; Here is one for Pearl and another for Ken, hand me that one wrapped in green, I know it must be for Linda. Oh where is Bill;s and there in the corner that one has to be Bud;s, look around in the back I bet mine (Pauline) is there.; I am ready to open the presents but first look outside there will surely be snow, there was always snow in Ky and home.; Yes I am still dreaming....Ga seldom has snow but last year we were surprised to get a covering of the ground after a 10 yr wait.; Merry Christmas one and all.

It is once again time for ghost and goblins to trek the earth It is Halloween time........See the shadows of ghostly figures slinking this way and that......trick or treaters are garbed in costumes of many awesome sights running down the street looking for something good to eat from their neighbors. Knock-Knock upon the doors where porch lights are lit, calling ; Trick or Treat give me something good to eat I remember well when in the 50;s we would don our outfits and walk around our little town holding brown paper bags to fill and usually we would have that bag almost full by the time we got home again.; Those were the days when it was safe and fun for kids to do their trick or treating; It is all so generic now, store bought costumes and kids going to malls or festivals and soon home again with their meager treats.; but Hey these kids eat candy every day they dont look forward to a special Halloween night to go out and fill their bag with treats.; I remember mary Jane kisses, caramels, suckers, bubble gum, and if you were lucky maybe mini candy bars like milky Way or snickers and Reeses penut butter cups. WOW~; I liked to hear special music of the time like MONSTER MASH-oh that was cool. another time-another place
you wont see it today; anyway; Happy Halloween from one who remembers when........

I do believe it must be raining all over the world, days like this makes me remember the song that had those words in it. One thing about the rain is -it makes everywhere outdoors look so green and I do love color green. My tulip flowers finally bloomed while I was in Ky and were so pretty when I arrived home again.; I still have a few straggling morning glory flowers that are blooming also. I need to plant some bulbs and get some seeds up from a few bushes to have for the spring. I have been diagnosed with diabetes and am now trying to eat healthier. I fixed a big salad for lunch and had some red grapes also and tasted pretty good.; I made some snacks with choc graham crackers and cool whip making them like an ice cream sandwich and freezing them and my husband says they taste as good as ice cream you would buy at store. folks this is a good healthy lo-calorie snack and you will love it.-try them. Well, it wont be long before the holidays are here again and we will have Thanksgiving and Christmas to get ready for. The older I get the faster these seasons seem to fly past me. Do you feel that a way too? I am walking a little slower and know my time on earth is coming to its conclusion. I hope anyone reading my blog will take a moment to reflect on their end of journey and prepare themselves for the end days. We all must walk this path I thank God that I dont have to walk it alone.see ya next time~

I was a young girl soon to have son #2, though I had been through this already I still was a little scared. My mother-in-law had came into Savannah with me and we visited her sister for awhile during this day. I had regular check up and Dr said it would not be long now. We lived in S.C. over the Savannah river about 1 hr away so I decided to stay with Aunt Bessie that night. Before afternoon was over I was back in hosp and Wm Eric made his debut before anyone could get there from the family.</li><li>A tiny human soul given by God for his father and I to nurture and raise to manhood. Parents have an awesome job but we must remember that God is there to lead if we will but let him. I thank God for the two sons he gave us and am sure I could have done a better job had I listened more to God then to my own will. We were not abusive but we did not do the best job I am afraid and I pray now that God will finish the job he started in their lives.</li><li>Happy Birthday William Eric (Bill) Rawstrom~</li></ul><br></span></span></span>

<br>It is April 2010,<br> My Neice Sherry is visiting from Ky and we are visiting some pretty Ga places. On Monday we were in Savannah on River st where all the shops are along with river cruise boats-stopped at The Waving Girl statue for a pic , met a couple from La and snapped their pic for them and they us.<br>Stopped at Paula Dean's resturant on Congress st near the City Mkt and then on to the Forsythe Park area. After that we headed out to Tybee Island and viewed the ocean, it was sunny but windy and cool. She rolled up her pant legs and walked in the water picking up seashells. We got some pics there too. It has been many years since I had been there and boy has it changed.<br>We saw the movie that was made there last week "The Last Song" with Miley Cyrus. It is a good movie-a bit of a tear-jerker.<br>One day was spent in Metter where "Everything is Better", walked tru the Guido Gardens seeing many pretty flowers and shrubs along with a peaceful little chapel. Many flowers there are bibical ones. The Guido's have both passed on but their legacy remains with this beautiful oasis tucked away in their back yard in Metter Ga.<br>Today spent close to home seeing the hwy 67 antiques gallery. many booths filled with old and new items to view. <br> I am enjoying getting to go to places along with her and sharing "Fun". Today is 14th and she leaves on the 20th so we will have to get busy and see some more things in the next few days.

Last night at dusk the snow started to fall and was so pretty , I could not wait to grab my camera. I thought I would wait til the morning though to capture all the white stuff. early am I was up and ready but the camera was not, menu says low battery, Replaced them and then it froze and could not get any pics, waited for hubby to get out of bed and check the camera. He finally got it going again for me and pics were captured and put online on facebook. I had wanted to make a snowman but there was not enough to get for it. The ground was barely covered and I did get some pretty pics.<br>Now as I type on this blog I am looking out back window and sun is shining and snow falling from the trees looking as if it is snowing once again. A beautiful sight, Thanks God for letting me see this once again.<br>I am told that snow has covered almost all the states as the weather is in blizzard conditions in many of them. My brother in Omaha has had worst snowfall ever and the ones in Ky say they are still getting snow.<br>I am just thankful that we did get a little this year. I am counting my blessings-now I had better go get some breakfast.<br>

~Birthday Thoughts~<br><br>I woke this am to a bright sunshiny day, thanks God.<br>I stop in kitchen and coffee is dropping its last drops from the Bunn coffee maker and my son greets me with "Happy Birthday Mom". Good way to start the day huh?<br><br>Now, if the rest of the day will continue on that note, thinking of notes-I got an email from one of my neices in Ky singing Happy Birthday to me sans music. Thanks Carol~<br><br>My Birthday cards - 3 so far - are lined up for viewing and waiting for the rest of those that have forgot and will get to me late.<br><br>I plan a trip to Statesboro today to pick up a book at the library that I have asked them to save for me, it is called Loving Libbey by Robin Hatcher and I know it will be good because she is a great author. The Claxton Ga library emailed me too that they have one for me so will come back home long way and pick up that one also. Guess what?
"I LOVE TO READ"<br><br>Birthdays are special days when other folks can say "Hey I remember you and think you are OK". Don't forget to remember your loved ones and friends special days folks. We can never go back and change what we forget to do on a daily basis.<br><br>I had planned a trip to Tx for my sister and her husbands 50th anniversary this month but with air fares so high, will try to get there later in the year. She and I have been close through the years-she is a couple years older then me. Yeah, I had to say that. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters living in Tx and it is always a great vacation when I get to see everyone once again. we cannot do that too often as we are all older now and who knows when one of us will leave this ole earth. My sister living in Galveston is 80 now and one in Ky youngest is 60. My Mom spent a lot of years having babies. "God rest her soul". Thanks MOM~<br><br>

<strong></strong><br>Christmas is almost here-6 days more. I have been thinking snow this year and hoping just maybe the south will get snow one more time. We have had it before just not very often, maybe every decade or so. I am reading of a very bad storm out there that is leaving folks stranded and I pray that all are able to get home safely.<br> A used to be neighbor and friend moved to Tx a couple of years ago and I have just recieved a message that while she was shopping her very large dog decided to play with a cute little black and white animal that happened along and when she returned home she found out by the terrific smell that it had to be a skunk. Oh what a thing to return to, how long does it take to get rid of that smell?<br>I have one son and a step-son visiting this year and it makes for a full house. We are all having to learn how to compromise and get along. Three men and one woman, on some fronts that could be interesting but here it is not! <br>I have reconnected with some wonderful friends this year and lost some family members. We must all be ready for the day that we are called home and I hope that you are.

<p>Today the sun was bright and made for a happy Thanksgiving Day after a week of rainy days. I was up early to get the turkey started and decided to use the ole Ronco (set it and forget it) Rotissoree this time. First one I have tried in it and would you believe how easy it was, turned out golden and very very nice. My son was visiting and he helped get the bird trussed up and on the spit and we had it cooking at 8:30am. <br>My husband had surgery to his hand yesterday so of course he could not help with the fixings so Joe and I worked together to get a nice dinner prepared and did clean up as we went making the job easier. My stepson did not show up and it was just the three of us to eat so we had plenty and we are stuffed.<br>I hope everyone everywhere was able to enjoy a good meal and good company for the day. I am so thankful for all I have in the way of family friends and finances. <br>Til next year then.................................</p>

<p style="COLOR:#007f40;">Fall will soon be here again in Ga<br><br><br>All year I have mentioned getting classmates together and having a 50th year reunion in Ky, well it happened, it was a lot of work but worth every moment I spent getting ready for it. I have framed a group picture of us and left at the Walton Senior Center where we met that day, we are now preserved for the duration.<br>Our weather has become a little cooler now getting ready for fall and the winter days to follow. I have put away my "White" and changing the colors of my wardrobe. I don't know if anyone really sticks to wearing just the right color anymore. The way some folks dress now is almost indecent. I yearn for the days when folks dressed up to go out, now they even wear pants to church-women I mean. When I view the youth of today showing off their abs or some wearing those jeans that slide down their behinds and let you see their underpants- I cringe. Oh, "What would Grandma think"?<br>Am I telling my age now?<br><br>There were graduations and weddings in the family this year and new little ones being born, You probably had them too. Life seems to always move forward - sometimes a little too fast. I think of the long ago summers when I ran barefoot playing with my siblings in Ky enjoying times I thought would never get over -but they did and the school year would start again and I would be another year older- til they dissappeared and I became an adult out in the world making my way. Life is best as a child, letting the responsibility be with the parents and YOU were carefree-loving life.<br><br>Are you ready for the holidays again? They will soon be here and think about it another year will be gone and we will see the yr become 2010. I never imagined writing that numeral down for our next year. I was born in 1941 and have seen so many changes in this old world as a child-teenager-young adult and now you guessed it - I am a senior citizen. Mom and Daddy are gone - Now we are the old folks. We will be gone too before long and our children and grandchildren will be next in line to do their thing. Read the book of Ecclesiates in the Bible -" One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever". Life can be eternal if you choose it, God tells us to love him as he loved us and our neighbor as ourselves. I will be in heaven by the Grace of God and not by anything good that I have done here on this earth, seek him and I will wait for you~<br></p>

<p>Memories of old friends<br><br>I have been to Ky for a class reunion of my old school in Walton. It had been 50 yrs since graduating in 1959. There were some there that I had not seen in all that time. Sandy has lived in California and left high school to join marines. We had two become Nurses. One was a policeman another a lithographer for 48 yrs-wow one job all that time. I was surprised when one of the girls gave me an award of appreciation for my work in starting the search for everyone and getting the reunion together.It was an afternoon of laughter fun and foods. I think all enjoyed the day. I have had several emails and notes since arriving home only 24 hrs ago. I enjoyed meeting all again and catching up on our lives since graduation. I hope you get to do the same someday.</p>

<p>I used to live in Galveston Tx and it was a beautiful place to be when you are 19-20 yrs old. I did not go to the beach as often as I would if I lived there now. I worked in the downtown area and went to Eagles to meet sailors and dance the night away. AH to be young like that again!</p> <p> Recently Galveston was delivered a mighty blow by the forces of nature when Hurricane IKE descended in all his fury. One of the widest storms to be seen and sending waves crashing over the seawall at least 18-20 ft high. I watched the TV news often as I have a sister that lives a few blocks from the seawall blvd. Thankfully she was in a 11 story bldg. I still have not heard as of Sept 20th if she is OK or not. Communication is not what it should be when a disaster hits an area. I have listed her name with emergency folks in Galveston and checked the Red Cross site online. God willing she is safe. I can see her sitting in an evacuation shelter and fussing because she is limited in what she can do. My sister is an independent woman of 80. She would help anyone who needed it at anytime. In her youth she was a beautiful woman and lived her life dancing to her own drum. Some think this is wrong but hey, who are we to judge-it takes all kinds of folks to make up this old world. </p> <p> We are concerned for you Rose, Come home soon.</p>

We have great joy when all is well and the choices made are good ones. </p> <p>I think of my heavenly Father caring for me and watching my choices in life, some good and some bad-How he must ache as I do with mine , for me. I am so grateful that His Grace is sufficient for me and I hope that my son knows I will always love him and wish the best for him unconditionally just as MY FATHER does with me.</p>

<p><strong>Valentine's Day, will be Feb 14, 2008 I am thinking of LOVE forever more, did n't Randy Travis write that?</strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> The beginnings of relationships are always so romantic, I can remember those days so well. Years later a mature love and caring fills our time as we share our lives together. I wish all someone to share their life with.</strong></p> <p><strong> Remember to tell that someone you care on this special day ahead made just for that, Valentine's Day.</strong></p>

I have just returned from a short trip to Ky where my sister and I went on a tour bus to Graceland in Tn-Eureka Springs Ar to see the great Passion Play-and last but not least to Branson Mo for a day of shows and a dinner that was great. We saw many sights along the road and even stopped at a winery where I got some Cherry Wine and Cherry Butter. we drank the wine while there and tried to bring Butter home by plane but it was confiscated when I had it in carry on luggage instead of checking through in the larger bag. All in all had wonderful time and met some really nice folks.

<p>Spring has come to Ga and this weekend another coming is the time change, Remember folks to "Spring Ahead" with your clocks as you go to bed. Do you like these changes in the time ? I for one do not, about the time you get used to it-they change it again.</p> <p> Our flowers are blooming and the birds are plentiful in the front yard, I even saw a white Robin for the first time this year, what a treat! I followed it all over the yard trying to get a picture. I am sure no one will believe that I really saw one.</p> <p> I have an eye exam scheduled this month, maybe new glasses will let me see better. I have thought of the new eye surg that they do where you don't need to wear glasses but I am still afraid something might happen and I would end up blind-I think I will just stick with glasses.</p> <p> more later, take care everyone.</p>

We are blessed that we only got thunderstorms with wind and rain and no damage as some folks did.</p> <p>This month is St Patrick's Day and if you don't know it, this is a big thing in Savannah, Ga which we are about an hr drive away from. The fountains are turned green and even the Savannah River was once I do believe. A huge parade and so many people in Savannah celebrating that you can hardly walk. I am past this kind of hulabaloo, but the young folks really have a ball on this day. Come Celebrate!</p>
