Tears

Talk about tears...seems we are all shedding our share these days...some sad but mostly happpy.I just got back from Walmart-Chris took me early before she went to work and I got a lot of heavy things that I can't handle on the bus..Got them unpacked and then checking the posts.One from Chris,Joel, and Tia. And you know m eyes were washed with tears again. Just to see my 'baby' so happy and excited about this new venture they are stepping into.I think about that home on Ridgepine...all the sweat, blood and tears and so mucb love that has gone into it.It is more than a house-so many happy memories!!!! A few real sad ones,but God brougt you all thru' I thank God that I have had a small part in it all.Changes.....life changes day by day...nothing remains the same....Only our God and His love reain the same forever.Praise His name!! Driving around this great city we call 'home' and see all the changes and I think its too big and I am happy that C and K are getting out of it.I think of what Bessie said about Raosenaae going to Albion and going out to Condit Rd where Dale and Mom and Dad and Larry had all built homes--Oh, there are memories there!! And as Joel was saying you can't go back to the way it was for all has changed.RoseAnne said our familys' three homes have been taken down-nothing left we would recognise due to some road work.I just can't imagine what it must look like now.I just can't.Talk about tears!!
Change of subject.Today is Larrys' birthday. He is 56.Such a precious son..(tears are coming) I must give a birthday call.
Gina said that Joy had made her first post today and gave me her address but I am unable to bring it up.I would love to have the whole family doing this-Larry would like to but hasn't gotton around to it yet and Cheryl doesn't think much of computers.I know that Mike and Joy could make some good ones about their life in the UP,their trips out west and deer season and camp.
I have rambled on but will let you go now.Have a good day and keep on blogging.

Reading this post and seeing so many mistakes in spelling-I know I am not making so many.I do make some I admit.

Hi Grandma,
This is like a blog within a blog- neat! And you wrote just fine in this- very good! While things change, the bittersweet things don't. I am sad that those houses in Albion aren't still around, I would have loved to visit there and see them. And let me tell you that things don't change all that fast in the U.P.!!

Hi Gina, I'm glad you got my post.Yes, I know things don't change that much in the U.P.( I know you and your dad would like to lure my back there,but big adjustments like that are too much for this ol' grandma even tho'I'd love to be nearer you.Some day, not too far away, I think we will all be together again...no time nor distance between us anymore.What a blessed hope!Have you been able to bring up Joys' post yet? I can't
