One of the ladies I follow did this and I'm stealing her idea. So to all my followers and readers of my blog if you would send me you address in the comments or if your uncomfortable with that e-mail me your address (my e-mail is in my profile). I would love to send all of you a Christmas card. I just bought a box for me to do this. I really hope you all will let me do this for you.
Love you all

I kinda got into a heated discussion with my niece on facebook last night she put a comment Let go and Let God I said UUUHHH no I don't think so because I have seen to many people use that as a way of doing what they want. Well she came back that she was sad for me. I don't know why but I told her not to be I wasn't. Again I tryed to explain to her that there are a lot of people out there that use that as an excuse to sin cause they are letting go and letting God. Then I get attacked by her friends because of my avatar. Mind you these people don't know me or my reason for my avatar, I'm a 49 year old woman who suffers from Summer SAD so I have a sexy young cartoon in the snow that says Snowflake are kisses from heaven because I'd love to be young again and in the snow. At this point all I could say was they proved my point and I'd be praying for them. They all missed the deeper point I was trying to make. My son and I discussed this very thing last weekend and he was able to see what I was saying.
Let me say now that I don't really think of my self as a Christian (not in todays terms) but I not a non-Christian either. I believe in the Messiah as well as the Torah. I'm a blend of the two it's called Messianic Judaism. For me this was the best next step in my walk with God.
Now the reason I dislike the saying let go and let God. I have seen a number of people say that I'm letting go of everything and I'm letting God control everything, all the while spending like there's no tomorrow just because they want it, back biting their family,always wanting more of what their neighbor has, living very unwise. In the mean time as they are letting go and letting God they are filing for bankruptcy losing their homes, cars, getting divorced, and have kids that run wild. And they wonder why God didn't fix those things they were letting go and letting God, He was suppose to be in control. You can let go and let God all you want but you are still reasonable for your actions and the consequences of them. It's not about whose in control it's about trust. I don't think God controls or wants to control our life we do. The more we trust God the more we move our life in that direction. I have free will I chose the the path he wants or not. He wants us to freely chose His way that He knows best, trust that He will provide and stand by us. But we must also do the right thing, pay our bills, learn to say no don't drive ourselves in debt, don't care what are neighbor has, cherish your spouse, discipline our children, live wisely.
I guess the saddest thing is, is what I hoped people (my niece) would want is a deeper conversation not just the surface that most people get when you let go and let God. In stead I feel like I got jumped. I should have known better surface is all there is to most people.
Thanks for letting me rant.
Until Later

Is there any place on this planet that the flies take a rest during winter. I'm about to go mad I feel like this kitten.
I can't even open my door without 100's OK maybe not 100's but it feels like 100's coming in the door. I'm about to go postal on them. This is a warning to all the flies out there I'm out for blood and I'm going to let my dog eat your dead bodies. HAHAHAHA how do you like that.
Until later and hopefully a calmer one

I've read a couple of these today and thought I'd join in. So here are my little secrets.
I love glitter and will sometime buy it just to have it.
I love snow more than anything and could be happy being snowed in for days.
I hate summer and the sun.
Even though I like vampires I have to say I'm on team Jacob.
I have been procrastinating in my crafts and I don't know why.
I fear being forgotten.
Now how about you whats your little secret.
Til later

Wow can you believe Thanksgiving is just a week away. I'm thinking about all things I grateful for, at times it seems like a cop out because they are things most people say. Family, friends, home, job, faith in God. All of these things I too am grateful for. You might be surprise to find out I do know of some who claim to be thankful but aren't they live in a world that is filled with so much anger and bitterness that they don't see what wonderful gifts they have. It just brakes my heart to see these people live in a world that is filled with so much darkness. I'm grateful that my faith in God helps to keep the darkness at bay. But it can be overwhelming since I know these people. I try so hard not to get caught up in their unhappiness but it can be hard. So this holiday I'm keeping a very narrow focus my family (kids, hubby) and most important God he is what keep me going. I know that even if I don't know everything about why the darkness is here He dose. For He knows the plans He has for me a future, hope. I'm thankful for that hope that He gives me.
Until later

It has been a wonderful day when you live in a place that has 330 days of sun you so look forward to day like this. I just love days with clouds.
I was inspired by a Mom of other blog http://foothillhomecompanion.blogspot.com/ to write this. I enjoy reading all the blogs I follow mostly of other Moms and thier memories of their children. My children are grown and now I have a grandchild. As a Mom and now a grandma I have come to see our (Moms) role alittle different we are the memory keepers good and bad. We take the bad and throw them to the four winds and good we continue to share so that our grandkids can know them. So to all the Moms out there keep your memories, share them thats our jobs. Thank you all for sharing them with all of us out here.

A few weeks ago we had a house full our son Jim was here and my in laws stayed with us it was so nice to have everyone here. It was the first time they got to see K. 
Jim, Grandma, Tata, and Desi
Jim and K
Tata and K
Granny and K My Dad passed away today I knew it was going to happen soon my grandmother had been letting me know he was ill. My Dad was not always a nice man in fact he could be mean, hurtful, and he was an alcoholic. For all his faults he did have some good points he made me laugh he could cook like no one I have ever seen in fact he taught me. The best fudge came from his hands. He took me on my first of many things like my first date, my first corsage, my first diamond, and my first dozen roses. Our song is Daddy don't you walk so fast by Wayne Newton. I got my love of trivia from him no one was a bigger bull sh-ter than he was. Half the time I didn't know what was true and what was not. He gave me pride in who I was and the people I came from. I loved him I may not have always liked him but I did love him. So for now I will light my candle to honor him and say my prayers. I hope that he has the peace he could never find here.
