MEANDERINGS of Margie

Drove over to see C'ville grandkids this mornin. They were soooo excited and had TOO much to believe!! Got loving HUGS and watched a short time while they ran from one thing to another to show us. Parents seemed happy just watching them have fun and enjoy their new toys. I remember those days...even if they were a   l o n g  time ago for us as parents. The bright eyes, the excited voices, the swing from one thing to another. Good memories. Now, we're grandparents and the joy these kids bring us is impossible to describe in words. Then, called Mich. grandkids to wish them Merry Christmas. Was disappointed, had to leave a message.....wow! in a short time, they called us back.

It was so wonderful to be able to talk to them. We miss them soooooooo much. They are teenagers now! It takes so li...

12/15/2010 This day smacks me right into the reality of my life's season! It's legal and now my mind must wrap around this idea. My 1st Social Security check was deposited today!!!!!!

Wed. 12/1/10  Don't fall off your chairs...went shoppin today! NOT my usual "thing", however, wanted 3 specific items. All 3 to do w/deco for my new bath. 1)spray to change color on artificial flowers 2)paint to change color on glass vase & 3)shelf/drawer liner for new storage vanity. Now, in the past when I was deep into "crafty" things, these were very COMMON short cuts to accomplish money-saving & redesign things already on hand. Today---NONE could be found, all stores I checked had decided not to carry these items...Well WTH does that do for me---leaves me "hanging" w/o a way to accomplish my money-savin good deeds!!!!!!! Went to Hobby Lobby,Big Lots,Belk's,Kohl's & had already ck'd at WalMart,KMart,Target on line. Bummer--so frustrated,aggravated & "ticked off" I was about to burst!!! Then I looked beside me and there was my sweet, fun, happy, LUCKY friend having the best time---she was findin things she w...
