Well went to our daughter's place where I cooked the turkey and daughter did the rest. This year we did not have any gifts for the grand kids. And that probably was ok cause they got enough from mom and her boyfriend to keep them busy for the whole year.
The boys both came home with us and will be here at least a week.
Now for the very part 2 of my story.
Last year just before Christmas we went to FL. to rest relax check out a community that we are hoping to move into and go see Mr. Gab's mom. Well, we got to see her and it was a very good thing we did for less than 1 month later she passed away.
Then in Sept we went up for a family dinner to say good bye to mom and the next morning we went out to the old farm where Mr. Gab grew up. I figured I would cry but surprisingly I did not. The place looked so different than the last several times we had been up there that there just wasn't anything that looked like the farm. Then that afternoon we went to an all family reunion where Mr Gab and one of his brother's made amends as well as I did. The thing is the night before at the family dinner Mr. Gab's sister - in- law who has disliked me from day 1 hugged me and treated me with respect. She also gave us 2 pictures of his parents. the first one when they were first married the second from later in life when I was part of the family.
And then about 2 weeks ago all of a sudden one of his older brothers (the one who shares the same birthday as he does only he is 4 years older than Mr Gab.) He got in touch in Mr.Gab. Shocked his so much. And in between all of this his cousin whom we used to spend so much time with when we were first married also got in touch with us. We went out to dinner with then for 3 whole hours.
And tonight Mr Gab's brother the one who share's his birthday called him. They talked for a good long time. He learned that his brother had had a heart attack and had to have stents put in. I know he would get mad for me saying this but there were tears in his eyes.
We need to figure out how to go visit his brother real soon.
so to sum up right now 2017 has been good and bad. We lost my mother in law whom I loved dearly.
We made up with several family members and got back in touch with a couple that we hadn't talked with for a long time. I'm hoping this mean 2018 means we will be spending time with these people that we "found" again. God Bless you all.

Been Awhile
Been Awhile since I posted. I have been well down and yet very busy. I'm still dealing with youngest son and his kids. But I tell ya what. THOSE KIDS WON'T BE COMING HERE AGAIN! Oh and this time I'm sticking to it. Ok so 2 weeks ago those kids were here and he wasn't really watching them. He took his second oldest son and was playing video games with him. The other 2 were playing on their own in one of the back bedrooms. All of a sudden they came out to the living room and Kaitelynn was holding her finger in her mouth and saying it tingled. I asked why and she said she put it in the socket in the wall and got a shock. I went down to the bed room and everything was blacked out meaning she had popped a circuit. I was so mad I yelled at her "what the hell I don't go to your house to break your stuff what the hell gives you the rights to come here and break mine?" OH I WAS MAD Not just because she had stuck her finger in the socket.....because 1) her dad wasn't watching her 2) she could have gotten seriously hurt or worse died! UGH
So ok I told my son they weren't coming back again.
Then 2 weeks go by and our daughter tells us her boys have Friday off from school. Grandpa said it has been so warm we should do a bon-fire before winter really sets in. SO we went and picked up her two boys on Thursday so they could spend Thursday night and do bon-fire with gpa. But of course youngest son gets pissed cause we used the excuse that his kids cant stay cause we are remodeling and don't have room for them to stay yet we have room for his sisters boys. (whom btw can care for themselves one is 15 the other is 10). Anyways so here we go Thursday we have 2 they go home on Friday afternoon and the other 3 come on Friday night and stay till Saturday afternoon then the first 2 come back Saturday afternoon and stay till Sunday. WHEW Busy weekend. Ok, so we knew Kaitelynn was playing in the bathroom. I even said something to her dad. Not only did she spend more than 1/2 hr in there for a shower (she's 7) then she kept running back into the bathroom every 5 mins and staying in there for 20 mins or more. (yup playing) I go into the bathroom Sunday night and notice my shampoo is full to the top. WHAT? Yeah water was added. DAMNIT. I just can't have those kids here any more. Then I found out that every time they each got water they got a new glass so in the bedrooms they were sleeping in were plies of glasses. I had plastic throw away one but did they use those OH NO NO NO. They used my good glasses out of the cupboard!!!!! Rant over
In the mean time we are working on repairing this house (with what little money we can squeeze out of our SS checks each month) So that we can either sell it or get a reverse mortgage so we can buy a house in FL.
I need to be in FL. My health is demands it. I've now had a second Dr tell us this. AND THIS TIME Mr. Gab Heard it with his own ears that the Doctor told me that I need to be in a warmer state. So we are fixing all that our oldest son ruined. We still need to do Floors and the Bathroom. Unless we find enough money to also make the other changes I want but that's for another blog.
