My birthday

Yep my birthday is coming up. On the 23rd my Grandfather left us to go to heaven. He was buried on my birthday. I am happy for him but sad for me. I miss him so much. I just want to hear his laugh. I know some day I will. He had the funniest laugh. it was more of a hoot than anything else. My aunt Dena laughs like him, just a bit higher.
He was an amazing man. He was a sharp shooter in WWII. He was a member of the devil dogs. He travel all over the European theater. He was also in Africa. He once told me about having sand fleas there. He met The Queen when she was little. He also met Gen Patton. I think it was him. He talked about dragging him out of a bar drunk and back to base. I wish I had more details of that story.
He had a purple heart and 4 bronze stars.

He loved the backwoods of Kentucky and all of God's creation. I think it was the one place he felt whole. He could tell you how to survive in the woods. Once he showed me a fuzzy thing on the forest floor. He said you ever get lost and are hungry look for this, the sugar will keep you going. It happen to be a persimmon. I had no idea being an Air Force Brat. I wish I had one to eat now. I am blessed to have known a true hero in him. I know he would not have said that. Heros never do.
He is the main reason this year I am a little down. The funny thing is he is having a GREAT time right now!!! I am grateful that he is with God. I am grateful that God gave us a way to be with him forever.


I will be older than my hubby for 4 months....he is going to tease me the whole time! I hope this year I will get a dig camera.
The girls are doing well. Otter is reading The Sweet Valley Twins books. Cuddle Bug is talking about what she wants to do for her birthday, it's in July! The Baby tells she is not a baby any more!! She does have the biggest attitude for a little girl.
Cuddle Bug and The Baby now have bunk beds. Baby is not allowed to go up on top. Well, yesterday I found her on top playing Barbies. Cuddle Bug made sure to tell her it was HER bed.
They are all drawing and using to much paper. The green people would not be happy with us.





By the way we never made it to the baptism. Hubby got called into work.
