Gone Hunting


I'm looking forward to going hunting this afternoon with my granddaughter, Victoria, and hubby, Jamie, for the first time in two years.  It has been two years of illnesses and hospital stays.  I'm so exited aabout getting into the woods.  If I don't see a deer, just being in the woods will give me a lot of joy.  Will post pictures of my hunt here.

Generation's That Will Never Come Back

 WE ARE THE GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK 40s, 50s, & 60s

A generation that walked to school and then walked back
A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.
A generation that played spent all their free time on the street with their friends.
A generation that played hide and seek when it was dark
A generation carried wallets full of photos.
Today, our whole gallery lives in the cloud.
A generation that made mud cakes
A generation that collected sports cards
A generation that found, collected, and washed & returned empty Coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each, then bought a Mountain Dew and a candy bar with the money.
A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.
A generation that bought vinyl albums to play on a record Player
A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings.
A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.
A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the national anthem
A generation that had parents who were there
A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake
A generation that is passing, and unfortunately, it will never return!!
I loved growing up when I did!✌️😎

One Sibling Will See All the Funerals


One of your siblings will see all the funerals.

One will see none.
And one won’t have any of you at theirs.
Because that’s how life works.
Someone goes first.
Someone goes last.
And someone leaves before anyone is ready.
It’s a strange thing to think about until you realize how real it is.
Within every family, there’s a sibling who will have to bury the others…
a sibling who will never have to feel that pain…
and a sibling who won’t have their brother or sister standing at their funeral
because they passed too soon.
It puts life into perspective, doesn’t it?
We grow up thinking we have forever.
But forever turns into years…
And years turn into moments we can’t get back.
Hold your people close.
Because one day, one of you will be the last one standing, and you won’t
realize how much that mattered until it’s too late.
