Happy Boo Year
Dec 31, 2008 | 6:11 AM PST
As years go this has been one of the saddest ones to date! No new babies,an impending divorce,{not me}.sickness,job loss and the country is going to heck in a handbag.And to beat it all,grannylee has lost her optimisim about the whole thing!Maybe when spring comes back,there will be a renewel of spirit as well.

A twenty or thirty mile an hour wind is blowing at ground level, thousands of leaves are racing across the pasture and smack into my yard.Maybe they will cover up this old farmhouse and I will sleep inside for a hundred years, to awaken to a new world.Or a least a new attitude.

Getting old is not the reason, I tell myself.The level of light in the winter either,cabin fever,maybe.What I need is to go visiting.My daughter lives in Ohio.Maybe a change of scenery would help.When I get like this,nothing much seems to help.Let me stop  before I depress myself even further.

Sooooo.....
                           Good riddance to 2008 a really Boo year!!!

It's early,the sun has not yet risen.I'm sitting here typing on a computer instead of making breakfast for my children.They are not upstairs and will not come pounding down and will not be giggling and yelling "Merry Christmas,Mama."Most of the stockings are limp and empty.No point filling stockings that will not be poured out! Only one little granddaughter is asleep and she is too small to get down the stairs by herself. later everybody will arrive for dinner and presents.I guess as a parent I should be grateful that they all are grown and have families of their own,but at times like these, I miss my little girls and wish to turn back time.God Bless the memories,that bring tears to my eyes,they are all I have in this early morning silence.
