My Birthday

What a special day today is, on this day 39 years ago I was born. hehe .....
For my birthday my sweet husband has taken vacation and it going to take me off on a little trip. It has been ages since we've gone off anywhere alone so I know we'll have a blast. We're going to Canton, TX ...... we're so excited and can't wait. We're going to the flea market and of course antique shops in the area.
Mindy and David hopefully we'll get to meet y'all while we're there.
I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to share when we return.

For Tiffany

Mommy's Little Baby

by LisaMarie Emerle

Mommy's little baby is not really far away,

I'm keeping you in my heart and that's how it's gonna stay!

Although you didn't meet me and look into my eyes,

Mommy will be thinking of you when I look in the skies

and when I feel the sunshine ... shining down on me

I will know you're safe and happy and where you have to be.

I have so many questions and there are no answers to find

but don't think for just a second that you'll ever leave my mind.

You my precious Angel made a mommy out of me,

but our father up in Heaven chose to raise you instead of me.

God must have so much in store and wonderful plans for you,

so I will carry this burden of pain so all your dreams come true.

So don't you cry any tears my love - be happy and be free.

When God decides it's time...you will meet Daddy and me.

You are very special both here and in Heaven above

no matter where you are my Angel you have Daddy and Mommy's love.

Happy Birthday

Today is the birthday of someone very special to me, my sweet husband Steve.
He's 42 years young today and I only love him more as each birthday comes and goes.

Time Travel

After visiting Randy at Genea-Musings today I decided to do some time traveling.

My travel wish would be:

I would travel to the day of my great great grandfather's birth, his name was Jonathan Herron, according to his headstone this date was Oct. 11, 1841. I would love to see/know where this event took place and most of all I would love to know who his parents were, where they originated from, where they both Indian or was Jonathan just half Indian.

In all my family research this is the one thing that has kept me puzzled since I first began back in 1999. Oh if time travel was really possible ...

Exciting News Yesterday !

It was so very nice getting home from the hospital yesterday. My father in law was discharged from the hospital around the same time Molly was so we all met up at the Cracker Barrel for lunch. After getting home there was so much to get started doing, housework, laundry, mowing the yard, etc. Well we had to go shopping last night to buy groceries as we were getting ready to walk out the door Tiffany and Dustin knocked on the door. She was holding a gift bag and told me she had my birthday present a little early, that she just couldn't wait until the end of July to give it to me.


Want to know what it was?

Yep, I'm gonna be a Nana!!!!!!! I'm just so excited I could scream! I'm so happy for her and Dustin, they're just gonna be great parents I know and I can't wait until this sweet grand baby gets here so Nana can do some spoiling. :-) Feels funny calling myself Nana but I'm so ready for it and just so happy!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th today. We're going to a family reunion around lunch time, then to my sister's after that, then the fireworks show tonight. It's going to be a busy day but lots of fun I know.

Update

My father in law is doing much better. They put in the permanent pacemaker this morning, it did take longer than expected. The doc had orginally told them 45 minutes, but it took about 1 1/2 hours. His heart rate is back up and he's feeling good.
To tell you how serious this was his kidneys had already shut down from his heart rate being so low, but since the pacemaker his kidneys are back working now.
If things keep going well he is expected to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
We will be leaving the hospital as well tomorrow. Wooohoooo!!!!!
Steve is back up here with us, he's back and forth between UAB and Children's, visiting with his dad and Molly. His dad is still in CCU for now so there are only certain times Steve can go in and see him.

Father-In-Law

My father in law was brought to Birmingham this evening. He is having trouble with his heart again, tonight they are putting in a temporary pacemaker then tomorrow the permanent one. I was in the ER when the doc came in, he didn't give a lot of explanation other than the electrical currents in the heart weren't working correctly.
Steve is taking off work now to head back over here to be with his mom ....
Keep them all in your prayers.
