Maybe Some Want To Talk About Politics?....Naah...All That Does Is create Division And Animosity Towards One Another...Thats Why We Vote In Private... With The Curtain Drawn...And Thats Why Most Bars... Dont Allow The Subject Of Politics To Be Discussed...Especially With The Consuming Of Alcohol Going OnHow About Talking About Religion?...The Same Rules Apply Here...Just Like The Subject Alcohol...Nope...That Wont Work Out Either...As Half The World Is Killing Each Other Over This Very Issue As I Write

Not A Problem Oney(We All Make Mistakes)
One Never Can Tell Just What Rolf Is Up To
But...We Can Never Die...Unless We Are Forgotten By Those Who Are Still Here
And Simmo Is Not Forgotten
.................................................
Over the last few years I ve lost enough family and friends, I know what keeping those memories alive is all about.
Makes One Think Back Of The Last Time You Saw Them
And In Some Cases...Now Wished...You Would Have Said Something...Or been Different To Them...Instead(As In My Case With My Brother)We Were Fighting...And I Walked Away
And Weeks Later?
Yep...He Wasnt Here Anymore
And Im Left With That Last Memory Of It All
............................................
My cousins kids never knew their Grandparents, I do my best to tell them stories of the Grandparents. Of what hard working people they were, and how they contributed to the community. The Grandparents were always there for others, and I don t want that forgotten.
Ill Always Remember My Grand Mother(On My Fathers Side)
She Was The Only One Who Would Defend Me
Ill Have To Admit...I Was Her Special Grandchild
And Ill Never Forget Her For Always Letting Me Sleep Over On The Weekends...And Letting Me Eat And Do Whatever I Wanted...(Things I Couldnt Do At Home With A Strict Mean Father
Yeah
Ill Always Remember "Memere"
.......................................
They Were
But
My Grandmother Also Had A Mouth Like A Truckdriver(Ooops..Im One Of Those!!)
I Remember One Time... When I Was Six(Staying There On The Weekend)
My Grandfather And Her Were "Fighting"
If You Could Only Know What Came Out Of Her Mouth!!!
It Cant Be Said Here
Id Probably Get Thrown Off The Site
...........................................
Ill Bet It Was In The Late 50s(Or Around That Time) When They Moved To California
The Was The Era Of
"Go West To California"
Went To School There In The Elementary Grades
Didnt Like Living There
New England Is My Home
.................................................
I Wasnt Really That Far Off
First...My Grand Parents Moved To California In The Late 50s
Then My Uncle And His Family Followed
]Then My Aunt And her Family
Then My Family Moved There Being The Last
My Immediate Family Are The Only Ones Who Came "Back Home" To New England
Since That Time
We All Become Basically Strangers With Each Other
There Hasnt Been Contact In Twenty Years With Any Of Them
For All I Know
Some Of Them Could Be Dead
Its Funny How... Just One Part Of The Family(Moving To California)
Can End Up Destroying A Whole Entire Family

But, I was given a picture or two of them from other family members.
I barely knew anything about my father cause I was a very young child cause he had died of a sudden death in our family car on the way home from work.
I did find out though from some of of my older siblings that he was responsible for helping in building the Mackinac Bridge causeways from both sides of the bridge and the Cut River Bridge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I was 24 when my mother passed away.
I cherish every moment remembering just how close her and I were and all the good times we had shared together.
I posted a music blog about that last night but I couldn't take looking at it any longer so I deleted it.
I'm the only one left of my older siblings.
Just A Few Weeks Ago
I Went Over The Cut River Bridge
..............................................
You mentioned truckers swearing,
All kidding aside, I was also there to work with them and to see they got paid properly.
But I haven't been back there since 09.Too many memories up there.
My Grand Mother Was Something Else
As Im Sure Your Grandmother Was Too
"Memere"...Lived To Be 99 Years Old
.................................................
You Are A Strong... And Well Respected Person
In My Book

The Worst Thing For A Little Kid... Was Going To School
And You Werent Exactly Dressed... In The Current Style...Like all The Other Kids
Back Then...The Style(For Boys Was)
Not To Be Wearing "Baggy Looking Pants"
And Yes...Thats What I Had To Wear
The Other Kids All Made Fun Of Me
I Never Wanted Any Possible Friends.... Knowing Where I Lived Either
It Wasnt Exactly "Bevery Hills"..Thats For Sure
...............................................
After my late husband passed on in 2007 I moved here to Ohio.I'd love to move back to my home state of Michigan but don't have the funds to move.
Two Weeks Ago
I Had To Pick Up A Load In "Mason,Ohio"
I Do Believe Thats Not Very Far At All...From Where You Live

Where my mobile home was sitting I could see the Mts from my front room and they were beautiful to wake up to in the morning and in the evening too especially when there was snow on them.the sun would shine and the snow would resemble gold or bronze color.
There was a mobile home across the street from me with a palm tree across the side yard of it and on the top of the mts there was snow.I was tempted to take a picture of that scene and place it on a Christmas card.
Everything There...Is Too "Fast Paced" For Me
