Tomorrow's It!

Tomorrow is it.  The big day.  The once a year day.  The day I try to celebrate for about a week or so.

Yep.  Tomorrow is the anniversary of my 21st birthday.  Which anniversary?  Ha Ha.  You know a lady NEVER tells her age!  Let's just say that if you take how old you think you'll be when you die and divide it in half......that makes me past middle age.  Oh my goodness..........

Other news.......

My aunt's house hasn't sold yet.  There is a problem with some paper work.  The other guy's lawyer is being a pain in the butt.   The sale may still happen if the lawyers can get their act together.

Someone stole some stuff from the back of my dad's house sometime in the past 2 or 3 days.  Great.  The big thing was a chain saw.  Dad has a light out back that has a motion sensor on it.  The thieves busted out the light!  The nerve! 

Dad and I went to visit my great aunt N.  She lives in a nursing/assisted living place about 30 minutes from here.  I hadn't actually seen her since I was a little kid.  I spoke to her on the phone a few times when mom was sick.  I have been writing and sending her cards for about a year now.  She wrote me into her will so I figure the least I can do is go for a visit.  She didn't recognize me (or dad) at first.  Had to tell her who we where (that is how long since we have seen each other.)

Got myself a few computer games for my birthday.  I like the "CSI: Miami" one.  I don't watch the show but the game is cool.

Take care.

My first birthday without mom.  It still doesn't seem real.

Kathy

PS:  Hey, J-land is coming up on it't 5 year anniversary!  Can ya believe it?  I have been here almost since the very beginning!  WOO HOO

I know it will be a little melancholy without your mother, the pain is still so fresh, but try to remember that she would want you to celebrate and enjoy your day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you....It will be a different kind of day for you I know but think how proud Mum is of you and celebrate the fact that she gave birth to you and loved you very much...  I am gla dthat you went to visit your great Aunt, Please do try to visit her again and mak eit a more regular visist. She may well not remember who you are or even if you have visited her lately but when she goes you will have no regrets and the home will know that she had someone who seemed to care for her.   Have as nice a weekend as possible.  Much Love Sybil xx

Happy Birthday, a bit late. I can no longer call call myself "middle aged" so am referring to myself as "Early old aged!"Hard to believe J-Land is nearly 5 years old. I've been here about as long as you, with occasional long hiatuses of course.
