Most Commented Family Blogs (545)

Hello Folks,

It has been a spell since my last post on my blog to you, not that I have not been thinking about posting I just got very busy with a huge change in my life.

I have been a magazine photographer in the past, it has given many accomplishments over the years but for quite some time I have felt it is time to change careers.

My dream has always been to have a online gift shop to provide unique gifts to the consumer, that is what I have been working on since my last post on here. My designer has my website almost ready to launch online, we need to set up the personalization of my products yet before it can be open to the public. I am offering a personal touch with my products at no extra fees, the consumer can make my unique products even more unique by a free engraving to the person they are pursuing the gift for.

Over the years myself and many others I have corresponded with over the years online have been a bit frustrated on special holidays attempting to find the perfect gift for the men folks on our gift giving list. My father is my most difficult person to buy for on my list, he is 75 years old and has pretty much everything he wants in his life at this time. This gave me the idea to offer a men's gift shop online for the men and all the ladies who have men in their life they find hard to purchase gifts for, hopefully this will be a nice success in making life a little easier to shop for difficult men with everything for others in this same situation.

Wish Me Much Luck On My Gift Shop

So bad that I seem to overcome my fever virus,but my daughter seems to still have it. She recovered yesterday,but today, she was asked to do roller skating, and she had to wear the thin shoes for roller skating by the school teacher. I was very worried. I prepared some sugar ginger soup for her, I asked her so many times, she finally swallowed a little bit.She does not like ginger taste. She said it is too spicy. I gave her some coughing capsule and fever medicines.

I worry about her very much! This fever virus is very nasty!

I love to read the newspaper in a set fashion.

First the sports, then the section with the funnies and the advice letters, then the business section, followed by the local news section and last the front page section.

I think I like the advice letters section because people just can't figure some of the simplest things out by themselves. In this letter I have chosen to blog about this woman has a son that is slightly overweight and Mom just frets about it.

She goes on and on about how he used to listen and mind when he was a young boy but now that he has grown up he doesn't seem to want to listen to her advice. She further complains that she made an appointment for him to see a doctor but he didn't show for the visit. She is also in a tizz because he hasn't explained anything to her.

The advice columnist ripped into her and said, basically, you need to mind your own business now that your son has grown up.

My advice would have been: He listened to you as a kid because he had to. He also surely thought that "when I grow up" and you know the rest of the story.

I think he has her figured out not to respond to her pushiness and just in one ear and out the other then he forgets about it. Pretty slick dude!!

I love my Grandkids, but unfortunately 2 of them live quite a ways so I can only see them maybe twice a year.

So, that brings me to the close by Grandchild, Leo. Leo was born almost 2 years ago and he's quite a little dude. His relationship with his parents is so beautiful and healthy. They adore each other.

So, yesterday when I went to go see Leo his Dad, my wonderful son, tells me I am going to be a Grand Dad again!! Seems like it's going to be a little girl. I am so happy. My life is so great! And I give the Almighty God all praise, credit, honor and glory, Amen & Amen!!

My 25 year old daughter is going to make me a grama, again. I am hoping she has a little girl that is just as onery, saucey, rebellious and mouthy as her! It will teach her right!! Ha ha. Thank you, God!

Has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.:

We talked nearly an hour on phone about cooking and how going to supermarket in the States is to oversea Vietnamese. Some how i m jealous of my buddy lol though feel happy for her. Here is her product

She gave up going to work and stays home as a housewife. Now she has plenty of time playing with our hobby of cooking, especially when her beloved husband loves everything she cooks. If only i were her, i would be so contented too lol. No need to worry about relations at work, no pressure, all is about love and care

Now i have not much free time and motivation to cook. Wish i could have someone to cook for and to see him enjoying my foods with love
Miss those days ...

I decided last week to visit my kids and grandkids in California last week.

I took Amtrak and then the Metro Line and landed in Ontario. CA where my son lives. His beautiful wife and the G-kids greeted me so wonderfully I was pushed to extreme happiness because of this love!

Needless to say, his dog just couldn't get enough of me nor the cat. These 2 pets are the best. When I woke up after overnight they were with me in my bed. All snuggled up like 3 pupa's in a cocoon!!

I got re-acquainted with my new G-son, Gabe. He knew I was a stranger and he looked me over for awhile. But in a short time we were pals. His older brother, Leo, was all over me too. They also love their Mom and Dad to the max. When one of them leaves the house to go shopping you should see the excitement in the kids eyes when they walk through the door. Heck the dog and the cat too. Leo and the pets run to the Mom or Dad and Gabe crawls to them as fast as he can.

I know I have mentioned this before but my siblings were a pain in the neck. But God rewarded me with a great family. And my son is just 1/3 of it.

During the week I went to stay with my sisters. They are getting very old now and are not really able to take care of themselves properly. I have offered to live with them, and even pay rent, but they refuse my help. I can't figure my siblings out. But simply put they have never been loving towards me. I have long ago accepted this but I know they need to be watched. But because of their attitude towards me it's not as carefully as it should be. Yes, they are obstinate!

The week also meant a visit with my niece, Cecelia. She is a darling and a real delight. She has the manners and attitude of a saint. We spent the day together and we also went for our favorite pasttime meal. A cheeseburger together. She has never been accepted by my siblings because she in not a blood relative. She was adopted by my late brother, a man she proudly called and loved as her Dad!

The weekend was then spent with my daughter and pal, Carly. She is the twin sister of my son and we have a great relationship. Quite simply, we love to hang. She drove me back to Arizona and we spent the weekend at the Casino where I work. She "fell in love" with the guitar player then she left to go home.

I am so proud of my family. They have all done well and they deserve everything they have.

Yes, I love my family very much!

I got an early Mother's Day surprise from my son and his family as they came up this weekend to see me and the folks. I took us all out to breakfast before going to see Dad in rehab.

The family of four sitting at the table next to us was a Mom, Dad and 2 beasties all four of them with their noses in their phones. I set my phone in the middle of the table and told my gang to do the same. I said whoever touches their phone first gets the bill. At the end of the meal I reached for my phone (I knew I was paying) so my son points and says you get the bill Mom. I just smiled. We all talked to each other throughout the whole meal. Anyone sitting at the table my son sits always gets to belly laugh because he has the family comic genes. He is simply hilarious and his son fits right in.

It is pretty cool to see how much my grandson grows between visits. At the age of ten kids just have growing spurts and I get to notice it so much more now that I rarely see him compared to before I moved to Tampa.

It seems no matter where I'm at or where I look someone has their nose buried in their phone.

Was just watching news of a school bus accident here in Dead Sea and many children died. The bad news is breaking my heart. My son called me and told me the bad news so I searched for the news online. Rescue efforts are ongoing I thought we only had slight rain this afternoon and I wasn't even aware that in some places were pouring, and it's our first rainy day. Expecting more rain tonight in an hour or so till morning so I'm leaving office a little early, hopefully no more flash floods and everyone is safe at home. Have a trip to Dead Sea this weekend with friends , I feel like cancelling it.

I know how painful this is for parents who lost their children/children in this accident and all over the world. I'm enjoying every moment I can spend with my son, those moments are precious. I love children, I wish we could do more to keep them safe and have a brighter future.

Just feeling down tonight...
