LUNCH WITH THE BOSS
Yesterday hubby picked up the 6 yr old grand daughter from school we call her the boss. Into the truck we went and off to a day of shopping and lunch which i didnt mention as we drove off towards the bank to cash my pay ck.
The drive out to the bank is 12 miles from our house and her school which is very near by. On the way she sat quietly in the back seat and fell asleep.
A quick stop at the bank and then back to Mc Donalds for her favorite big kids happy meal. all the while she slept.
Once they handed over the happy meal i reached in the back and tapped her gently on the knee and said mandy here is your happy meal. One eye opened a tiny bit to look at me and the bag i had in hand. with that... a tiny hand reached towards the bag and took it. She quickly folded the top of the bag down and hugged it tightly to her chest and went back to sleep. All i could do was smile and think were is my digital camera LOL before i could finish thinking that thought she took that bag and mushed it up like a pillow and and moved it to under her head still sleeping and stayed that way all the way back home another 12 miles.
sigh mandy dont grow up to fast i enjoy the times i have with you. LOL
she was her uncle iras pin up girl when he went through boot camp. and for a few years after that .
awe sigh where did time run off too. seems only yesterday she was a tiny little thing just lerning how to walk and now she is busy riding school busses :)

Veterns day
yes this is late but then when am i not :)
i wrote this one in reply to an email i got . thought i would share this one here with you all. And then get back to comdey alaska soon . humor is after all the best medicine in times like these
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i stand in awe of the veteran that goes out to protect us ,comes back knowing things none of us can comprehend, lives with it till the day he dies, pays a price for protecting us no pay ck can even begin to touch.
the honor goes to those to those that stood up not mouthed up and did nothing.
the honor goes to those who gave and not those who gave little if nothing and yet whined about the cost.
the honor goes to those families waiting for a loved one to return but only get a knock on the door
the honor goes to the child left behind who knows full well a parent may never return who grows up and never knows how come the country won't honor the sacrifices made on their behalf.
the honor goes to those still willing to stand and protect even when an entire country is yelling adversities in their faces.
the honor goes to the vet and the solder who is still standing for us and our freedom no matter where and whom. with out them our world would be torn apart with out them our country would know more terrorism.
i for one will always honor not only the vet but those in active duty no matter where they serve. weather it be in a war zone or on our own soil. i for one will always honor the flag and honor the words that go with it even the words UNDER GOD weather those beside me refuse to. I WIll CONTINUE to support our troops as well as our President in any effort they make on my behalf and as a family memeber of the USA i will morn each loss as if it where my very own.
GOD BLESS THE USA AND OUR SOLDERS AND OUR VETS, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE.OR WHOM THEY ARE.

Happy Bithday Ira ( a cake made of love just for you)
Sometimes I sit here and just wonder where time went off too. How did it speed up so fast? Sigh………..
This year my son turned 24. This year my grandson turns 20 years old.
Breath. Crissy and remember you were young once too :)
I could sit here and write about all those feelings that go through my mind having a son in the navy these days isn’t easy. But then I am not alone.
Instead I want to speak of the good things that have happened and how much I appreciate them.
Ira turned 24 this year. It was his 4th Birthday away from home. With out his family near him or around him or there to share the moment with him.
I took the plunge and asked for a card to be created for him on line and I was totally amazed not only was it made for him but it was up and running in a matter of mins. What ever it took for the creator of the card to do the job. At first I thought ok this is nice I may see a few signatures and well wishes out of this for him. But then the next day I went in and looked around to ck it all out see how it was going ...make ready to print it out and place it in the mail.
I sat looking at the puter in total tears as I viewed the sigs in there ...all the not only happy birthdays but the thanks for serving our country… our nation. That was going on in there. I was floored by the total outpouring of love over my son in there. And I still am.
His card will be late this year but it’s going to be well worth the wait. You see when I finally printed it out there were 15 pages to it all. 84 sigs some of which were from people pouring out there hearts for our troops. It took them the better part of a week to finish signing his card on line :) family, friends of his and others that know only me lined up and stuffed my email box full of another signature has been added to your card. :)
When I put this one together there well be a total of 24 pages to send to him :) yes there is the one on the mm’s site too to add( 5 pages ) to it along with two other separate pages of personal wishes too.
Most of the sigs were from people who know me, know of him, don’t know him but wish him well.
This year I saw a special cake being baked on line just for him. And I am one very grateful mother for all of it and that much more richer in knowing someone out there not only thinks of him on his one special day but also thought about all of our troops no matter where they are through him.
This year I saw a cake made out of pure love made just for my son :)
This year I saw a cake made out of the love from our own for our troops :) just for him. :) Along with wishes from countries far away tooJ:)
WHEREVER YOU ARE MY SON I WISH YOU THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. :)
As i know also that so many think of you and wish you well too:)
