MEANDERINGS of Margie

I am so HAPPY w/these 2 beautiful Butterflies! L side --bought Myself, near my birthday; R - Eric&Pattie gave me. The "boxed" chains are so Cheap n Thin! I was Afraid to wear them...don't want to lose the butterflies! (Even had chain clip replaced on L one)....{my ol' fingers can't hook them bittie suckers!!} Eric&Pattie's was a better clip! {both were a bit short--for my "fat" neck!!}LOL Today....Ronda & me were @ Kohl's. I was busy, watch shopping {a weakness!}, while she was buying something...fairly close to me. I asked her if she found something....she said yes....but nevah offered to show me! Hmmm.... We get into the car...she hands me this box, and says Merry Christmas! I was so Surprised! Ronda bought me this BEAUTIFUL, sturdy, Sterling Silver chain --for my Butterflies!! Now. I'm not easily left speechless!!!....but this "took my breath" for a moment.! It IS Awesome.... Now, I can wear my beautiful Bu

Guess, 'bout 4-5" of this white stuff/aka SNOW!! Started Fri. am, finally stopped Sat. Hard times....lead to Hard Lessons in REALITY 101! We woke up Sat. morning...NO Power. It was already COLD in the house. Our Oil lamps do provide some light relief! As a young child....we lived places, where there was NO insulation....warming front body side, then the "backside"....in front of Space heaters. Nights were spent bundled/huddled well into blankets....no overnight heat! I DO remember... Waking up COLD, was a really big SLAP, into a past life! I immediately began piling on clothing! LOL  LotZa them! and finally, found some warmth. Later in the day.....Marc found us a propane Heater, to use, if power stayed off. Thankfully.....by late afternoon....Power came ON, Lamar got his TV back, and I was on FB....catching Up. LOL Talk about taking things for granted!!! I do. {for a brief few minutes, we got Power.....Heat felt gOOd....then gone again!} The wonder is....

There IT is ^ ....!! old joke : I AM Blessed. Health is fair....aches, pains, crackin/poppin!, but doing well "for my age".  LOL Happy to arise each morning, get things done, and ENjoy my life.

At this time in life....HAPPY to have a Great, Loving Family; 2 Wonderful SONS; beautiful GRANDkids; Awesome Friends; Amazing Husband (36yrs. now!); never forgetting..2 Loving Parents, who paved my life path&growth.  Life IS gOOd. Wisdom comes barreling @ ya....after 69yrs.! LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH.....the Best things to Learn, &incorporate into every day life. Never give up. Treat others, as you want to be treated. The Past is gone, the Future is unknown, LIVE...each day truly is a PRESENT. Do your best, to take care of You....especially, if you need to assist/care for another in your life. {these are some of my present goals.} ^ these are parts, of Who I am.... *I

We were Happy to have Hunter and Kami here today. Today is Father's Day....so.....Marc celebrated with his kids. {I got to watch!} We had agreed yesterday....Lamar do Biscuits, I'd cook the Bacon{takes 2 pks. to feed, when Hunter is w/us!!}, and Marc would finish ---w/grits, gravy and eggs. Ok. Lamar was just beginning the biscuit mixing....and I was on the 1st batch of Bacon. Marc runs me out!....wakes up the kids....and tells them, they will help him cook b'fast!! {didn't think that would "go over", but they jumped in there!} Y'all....it warms an ol' Mama/GRANDma's heart.!! Seeing these 2 Beautiful Grands--- Listen to their Dad, (giving instructions)--and maybe, even having a bit of Fun, along the journey, as they worked IN the kitchen WITH their Dad. I'm a Mama....this "scene" touched my heart n soul. sniff,sniff   I got to BE there. Note: NONE wanted any pics...Marc, because he wasn't "dressed" for pics!! Kam

 This Beautiful bird showed up, first in March..and here--end of April.  IF, I had only known...what a "thorn in the backside" this experience would become....I probably would have RUN the 2 of them away!! I'm Serious y'all!! I Need some TLC n Sympathy... The pair of Blue birds took up residence, in this birdhouse. They have been here for some time... The last couple of weeks!{yes!}....this male has decided my baby C..and sometimes the GMC...are his Personal POOPIN site!!!! geeZ!!! I have "cleaned" poopie Off my CLEAN car (just cleaned on Fri.)..Multiple times per day. The Nut won't STOP. UGH.!!!!!! Y'all...I'm 'bout ready, for 'dem babies to be w/o a Daddy!! Really.

Woke up from nap, 'bout 2:30pm....out onto Porch. First thing I spotted---beautiful BLUE bird---sitting on Marc's truck! Ofcourse, I ran for the Camera!{he had flown from there!} Then...spotted him again. wOw! It's a pair of Blues.... He moved onto our truck bed....and then.... there's the Female, on top of the birdhouse... back Together...again  {this was so EXciting!} He stuck his Head inside...for a look/see! He Knew I was watching??? He flew over to Marc's truck again...then, up into the tree (watching) Female came back again... He came back (saw me?) and just sat there! They both flew away.  How wondermous, to witness this "event".  Backstory ~ this is the same birdhouse wrens/chickadees "fought" over a couple yrs. ago! Chickadees have been "scouting" it for a couple of weeks. Hmm....may be a fight for control this yr.!! It was A.Ma.Zing to see this unfold. We had a couple of "visit

Today....it has been 36yrs. we have been Married!! Jan. 3, 1981 I had no clue then, how this day, would Forever change my life! Lamar likes to laugh...because, My knees were "knocking" and he, was in a calm place! Lamar also married--two rowdy young boys! He gave them Love and Guidance, they needed. Lamar is the Best example/Mentor--a gOOd man...He Loves them, as if, they are His bio Sons....and they've Always FELT that. GOD truly Blessed this family, on that day! All marriages have ups/downs, happiness/sadness, good health/sickness. We've had our share of all that...and More.  All the way on this journey, I've always known...Lamar is MY Rock/FUN partner/best support. No doubts. As we Celebrate these 36ys...I have to give Kudos, to our Families for their support. Also, some of THE bestest Friends, to help us thru some hard times...and just plain have FUN!  Thank you All...we Love ya. GOD is gOOd...All the time y'all. I Know now, that it
