SERIOUS BRA QUESTION, FOR THE LADIES......

This is mainly to/for the Ladies: Is there ANYONE ELSE out there who has the SAME problem I do with putting your bra ON?--it's almost always the LEFT side--and after I've looked at it & got it 'all right' & try to hook it together, the 'shoulder' strap is TWISTED with the 'back' strap--HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING????? It's at least ONCE A WEEK for me & I'm really WONDERING if there are ANY OTHER WOMEN out there who are having the same problem & WHAT you've done about it to TRY to KEEP from CONTINUALLY HAPPENING!!!!
THANKS!--my only thought/idea is that my boob is TOO BIG for me to actually SEE if my straps are 'right' or not--does that sound possible?????

'BAD THINGS DO COME IN 3'S', RIGHT??!!!!!

I certainly HOPE SO--because last week, we had 3 'bad' things happen to us.
First, on Sunday afternoon, our youngest son, injured his right shoulder very badly
PRACTICING for his new 'church league' Softball Team/League. It's been a few years
since he's played & he was very EXCITED to get back to playing, again. That's why
he DOVE for a ball getting past him quickly, playing Short Stop--when he used to Pitch &
play 3rd Base. Well, it got TO him faster than he thought it would & he ended up trying to
do a somersault, instead of just crashing to the ground, and didn't quite complete it. Well,
the ER took x-rays & put him in a sling, but NOTHING was broken, THANK GOD & he's doing MUCH BETTER, now. His 28th BD was last THURSDAY!!!!!

2ndly, our youngest GRANDson, Jack, who lives in Houston with our oldest son & his wife &
daughter, got another virus & high fever & with this one came 'intussusception'--a collapsed
bowel--he's not even '2', YET!!!!! The TX Children's Hospital is GREAT down there & they
did a 'Barium enema' to OPEN that part of his large intestine BACK UP & it worked & he ONLY spent one night in the hospital & got to go home--BUT, it RECURRED again 2 days later &
his Mom had to take him BACK & have the procedure done, again--THIS TIME WITH AIR, ONLY--which saved him/them that awful/BURNING diarrhea--and, it worked, AGAIN!!!!!
We are hoping his fever goes AWAY & he does NOT have any more occurences of this!!!!!!!!!

3rdly, at my husband's work, where he's the 'boss'/President, it was discovered--partly by/because of him--that they had Carbon Monoxide POISONING in their plant & he had
to send EVERYONE HOME!!!!!!!!! The Fire Department, who measures that, quickly found
their 'problem'--'new'/thicker ink--it's a Printing Plant--that had clogged up the expensive filters, which were no longer working & giving off this AWFUL GAS you can't/don't smell!!!!!
Everything was cleared/cleaned out that afternoon/evening & everyone got to go BACK to WORK the NEXT DAY--THANK GOD--with no further expenses or sicknesses--that he knows of, yet, anyway!!!!!

'They' all HIT me in my STOMACH--just like I had BEEN HIT in my stomach--especially the injury to our youngest son & the physical problem with our GRANDson--but, my husband is SUCH a GOOD BOSS, that those folks who work with him are LIKE OUR FAMILY, TOO--so, we are SO THANKFUL that no one was hurt or made sick OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!

WE both PRAYED A LOT MORE THAN USUAL this past week & I'm feeling REALLY CLOSE-R to OUR GOD, which is one VERY GOOD thing to come out of all of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, we realize that we are not 'promised' the next day, even, much less good health--but, we DO TRUST & BELIEVE that our God is 'WATCHING AFTER' & 'TAKING CARE OF US'!!!!!!!

I told our youngest son, he will be SO VERY GLAD 'the day' he wakes up IN NO PAIN, after this & will APPRECIATE feeling/being healthy, again, and in NO PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably MORE than we usually do, since we usually wake up with little or no pain. AND, we'll be THANKFUL when little Jack is ALL WELL & we are already THANKFUL that my hubby's plant/folks are back, productively working & making money, again.

Last week seemed to FLY BY, sort of, and yet, also, seemed to take 3 weeks to PASS--if you've been through similar things, you know what I mean. I definitely was in one of those 'male-like' TRANCES most of the days. And, I didn't necessarily get very much 'done' around our house, either. Our wash definitely STACKED UP!!!!!

BUT, THIS is a NEW WEEK, with new challenges and BLESSINGS & I'm HOPING that since we have had THREE 'bad'/WEIRD things happen to us last week--that 'THAT'S IT' for a while!!!!!

And, we THANK OUR GOD that things wereN'T WORSE--which I know & can ALWAYS think of something/things that COULD BE WORSE, when something does happen. AND, it was SO encouraging to see HOW FAST God worked to 'FIX' all 3 circumstances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUCH FASTER than when I've prayed for things in the past!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH, I don't want ANY of you feeling 'sorry' for us--just say a PRAYER, ALONG WITH US, of THANKSGIVING that our family & work family are ALL SAFE, tonight!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

ROSES & PEOPLE NEED 'TENDING'

I've been thinking about a neighbor's Rose Garden that USED to be SO beautiful! She was OUT tending it every day, sometimes even when it was cool and rainy! Well, I noticed about a year ago that it was looking poorly & there were not NEARLY as many pretty roses as there had been. Just the other day, I drove by, and that square of land that USED to be SO colorfully FULL of roses, is NOW FULL OF WEEDS!!!!! I, personally, think she moved or died.

So, it got me thinking that roses ARE LIKE PEOPLE--we NEED TENDING! If children/folks don't get their DAILY NEED OF LOVE taken care of by those who love them, they will not continue to BLOOM & be BEAUTIFUL, the WAY GOD INTENDED them/US TO BE!!!

Just a reminder--HAVE YOU TENDED YOUR 'GARDEN' of loved ones today?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROSE!!!!!

First, I want to say--"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to my WONDERFUL Mother-in-Law!!!!!--What a BLESSING she's been to us--MANY TIMES OVER!!!!!

And, then I want to tell you WHAT happened to us last Friday--I now call it our 'Retracing Our Steps' Day, because we ended up doing that TWICE!!! And, for those of you who don't know me that well, yet--I don't even like to go PAST a place & come back--calling that 'backtracking' & feeling like it's a WASTE of my time!!!

The first one/thing happened in the afternoon--Larry was off work that day and in a 'borrowed' car from the BMW place, while his 750 was getting fixed. It was a 325/smaller, but nice & new. We decided to go to Sam's & buy some things we were running short on, like toilet paper, etc. And, then we brought it all home, first, before he went to get HIS car.

Well, since it was RAINING & COLD, he decided to BACK the smaller car into our garage & I 'got out FAST'--remember that part--to help him back it up 'right'--then, we UNloaded it all & he left to go get HIS car. Traffic was really bad. which surprised us being the Friday before Easter, but there was a wreck on his way, so it took him OVER 30 minutes just to get there--then, on his way home, there was another wreck & it took him OVER 30 minutes, again, to get home!!!!! So, what SHOULD have only taken about 30 minutes total, took an hour!!!

We had already planned to eat out at our favorite Mexican place & then go to a movie later that night, so it was when we were leaving to go eat that I realized that I HAD LEFT my wallet in the FLOOR BOARD of that 'borrowed' BMW--which was NOW back at the Dealership!!!!!!!!! SO, we HAD to drive BACK there to get it!!!!! I had our 'cash' for the weekend in it, plus all the other important things that are in a woman's wallet.

But, the 2nd time he drove up there & back, it ONLY took him/us about 35 minutes, total, so that was good.
Our supper went by uneventfully, and it was at the movies that we/he had our 2nd RETRACING time--he always drops me off & I buy our tickets & have them & sometimes our food/drink by the time he gets inside. He also visited the restroom, and then we headed for our theater & THAT'S WHEN he realized that he had ACCIDENTALLY dropped his car keys OUT of his jeans pocket that had a HOLE in them!!!!!!!!!

So, he walked all the way back out to our car, from inside the Mall, and didn't/couldn't find them UNTIL he went BACK into the restroom & THERE THEY WERE, on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, since we're NOT USED to needing/having to RETRACE our steps & ended up doing it TWICE in one afternoon--just hours apart--we're HOPING that this will TAKE CARE of that for a LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This may not come across FUNNY, but believe me, AS we were doing the 'lost wallet' one, it WAS FUN!!!!!!!! Of course, the 'lost car keys' one was MORE disturbing, but we knew, for sure, they were 'close', so we weren't TOO worried!!!!!

So, I guess the moral to this TRUE story is--when you end up having to RE-do something, just 'GO WITH THE FLOW' & "ENJOY YOURSELF"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what we did & IT WAS FUNNY, at the time, TO US!!!!! Love Ya HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M FINALLY GETTING STARTED.....

Hello, ALL--Family & Friends, alike!!! I'm not exactly sure WHAT I will end up passing on to all of you in my blog--since our daughter-in-law 'set it all up' for me and now, I have had MANY ideas--some even serious!!!

I am a 54-year-old Christian Grandmother--we have 3 WONDERFUL GRANDchildren, at the moment--who got to STAY-AT-HOME to raise our 2 sons & now they both have their own families & live in other states.

I have been married to my WONDERFUL husband for 35 YEARS & we are TOTALLY enjoying doing everything together these days, once he gets home from work. He's been a GREAT 'provider', too.

Okay, I just HAVE to pass on to you something I just 'FOUND' at our Target the other day, but I'm sure they sell them in other stores, too--it's a FANTASTIC 'bread' from 'Archer Farms, called 'Mediterranean KALAMATA Olive Boule'--I've been eating it ever since I found/bought my first loaf--just slice it, put butter on it & 'zap' it in your microwave--IF you LOVE Kalamata Olives, like I do, AT ALL, you will LOVE this bread!!!!!!!

I may need to WRITE Archer Farms & tell them just HOW MUCH I LOVE their bread!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to be/go ON too long in my first 'post', so I'll close, for now--and, now that I know HOW to do this, I will be writing often, I hope. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, RoRo
