Good morning and it is a good morning. The sun is already out and the birds woke me up with cheerful chirps! I am looking forward to a beautiful day. Well fellow bloggers....I went to my breakfast last Tuesday with my Chicago friend and met almost 20 gals from my high school graduation at the breakfast table. It was such fun seeing everyone. Some of them I haven't seen in decades! Lots of "older" ladies with gray hair and talk of grandchildren! Oh wait....that was me too! They meet once a month and I am thinking about making the next one too.
Memorial Day is coming shortly and my son and grandchildren from Cincinnati will be coming this way and we will all be at my other son's home in the Cleve. area for a picnic and visit. It is always so nice to see both my children and my grandchildren and my lovely daughter-in-law. I am so lucky to have a daughter-in-law that is more daughter than "in law." Sorry to say my oldest is divorced and that is still not a pleasant situation after years of it being over. Thank heaven I can say my son who didn't want the divorce has taken the high road and been a great Dad and is trying to make a home away from home for his children when he has his custody days. Why do these things have to happen? Times are so different than they used to be when I was a young person and got married. Then we only thought of making it work no matter what and now days it seems people go into marriage thinking divorce if things get too tough. Okay I know I am really showing my age today but come next January I will have 50 years of marriage to celebrate so I get to talk with authority....so there! With that I am off here and ready to start my day with a smile and a prayer and a blessing to the One who blesses me!
AMEN!!! That is great Lois and it is such a shame that your one son's marriage ended in divorce. My daughters marriage almost did but they finally fought through it and made it work and are still together and seem to be doing great now. I hope and pray it stays that way. I know they love each other so I think it will work. Sounds like you will have a nice Memorial day. I don't know what we will be doing. To early to tell. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteRainy day here Lois.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can make those mini reunions. It seems like such a great idea. I hope your Memorial day will be extra special too.
Yes, divorce is awful. Just awful.
