First off I feel so bad that I have not been on my computer. I am not being a very good online friend as I have neglected this place. Life has kept me away. Heck I even missed an email from my son Tim regarding his need for our help moving. Must not have needed me too bad or he would have called, after all, I do have a land line, cell phone and text messaging. Perhaps if I had a desk job with a computer I could check my email more often, BUT I'd miss so much of the outside world. Wandering the neighborhoods in a yellow school bus is sometimes quite exciting. As for you my friends I will be making the rounds ASAP!
Some new news. My stepson and dil (the grand kids parents) have bought a home. It's less than a mile from us over the river but not through some woods (:)). It's close and since I am now the most requested grandma I am sure I will have plenty of visitors 'popping' by. Especially since grandma has a park and a sandbox.
AND...
I was brought to tears by an email from my adopted solider this morning. No matter how you feel about the war I am hoping everybody feels we must support our troops. http://soldiersangels.org/ is an organization that is a wonderful way for us to show our love and support to our men and women who are overseas serving our country. I never expected an email from this man and here it was. He was grateful and appreciative of the time and effort I took to send him a few cards and packages over the past months. So little for the much he is doing.
This email made my day!
see you soon!

I MISS you when you are not around. I love my Sweet Rose.
Congrats to the stepson and DIL.....take pics and share if you can. I am glad they are going to be close to you. It is raining here.
LOVE YOU SO
Not too worry, hon. I've neglected our online friends too. It makes me feel bad, but life has a way of interrupting our best laid plans. But...I will be making the rounds, am doing my best to get to everybody. Being a Grandmother is fun but very hard work. LOL. Nothing reminds me as quickly, that I'm not in my teens any more. I know what you mean about being moved to tears. It takes so little to uplift our troops, and they appreciate it so very much. Thanks for the link. I'm sure others appreciate it as well.
Big hugs, hon.
Love you much.
