Dear Mom,

As I sit here and look at your picture and visualize the house you lived in; I remembering all those

The old homestead

late night talks we had when I came to visit you.  Those precious memories put a smile on my face.  Remember how we would talk until 2:00 in the morning and dad would get out of bed and come into the living room, look at us and say, “Are the two of you ever going to go to bed?”

Choose to be happy with children. There great for immortality!

I have been giving this a lot of thought and it is just too good not to pass it along.  Hope you enjoy it.  Please let me know.

Reports are always talking about the expense of having children, but they never mention the benefits.  I think it is time we take a look at the benefits of children.

Here is what the government calculates the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 for a middle income family $160,140.00.  I know that is a price shock and it doesn’t even take in the cost of college.

Choose Happiness for the Little Blessings

In my last posting I talked about my youngest daughter having her baby any day now.  We now have that little one.  It was a little girl with lots of dark hair.  Of course being the grandmother I think she is beautiful.  Really she is pretty darn cute.

It was a long trip for that little one and the new mom, but all is well and grandmother learned a new lesson.

Let face it I have more life experience then some. I want to talk about the average person? You know the neighbor, the guy down the street in a normal community. Not one of those richie communities. The guy just trying to earn a living, trying to survive day by day.

Did you ever meet a person that grew up not having much? They seem to survive rough time’s better than the next guy. They just looked happy regardless of what was going on in the world. Did you ever wonder how they do this?
