One More Year Gone...

...
...
...
Today (well yesterday now) is my 24th Birthday. As the years go by it seems to me that I would rather just forget this day all together. Its not like when I was 5 and counted down the days till cake and gifts. Now its more like "oh crap, is it really that time again" and all I really want to do is sit and drink my glass of wine and not think about it.

When did Birthdays go from a child with cake all over her face to a woman wishing that the day way over?

I Wonder......To My Mama Rene

Dear Mama Rene,
I wonder if its cold where you are. I wonder it snows. I wonder if you are sitting on the porch with with Papa watching the sun rise in the east. I wonder if you are young and dancing the night away. I wonder if the seas seem as big to you now, Or if the Stars seem so far away.I wonder if you can see the other side of the rainbow. I wonder if its pretty there. I wonder if you can hear the music playing. I wounder if you miss me too.

I hope that you remember me as a little girl. I hope that you know that I love you. I hope that you hear me when I say I miss you . I hope the you see the same starry sky at night and the same rays of light in the dawn. I hope that you are happy and finally at peace.

I know that you are with me and that brings peace to my soul. You were my Mama Rene and alway will be. I love you now and till the end of time.

Your little girl,
Maggie

Sleep as you're rocked by the sea
Sleep and remember our last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream

River, o river
Flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere
Where she can live free?
River, deliver her there...

Mama Rene, you're safe now
And safe may you stay
For I have a prayer just for you:
Please just remember
that I love you too,
and I will see you one day
when I am delivered too.

This weekend I got to get a way from it all and go down to Mark Twain lake with some of the cast. It was really needed. I have been running for what seems like forever.

I thought that I would share a few pics of the weekend.

This is me on the way down in the truck.

Here is the gang in the water. The water was great.

Then about midway throw the day....

...Thing got a little crazy...and i loved it.

Ha, Beer and Cheerios...now that is the breakfast for champs!

But the weekend ended all to soon.

I made it all weekend without a mark and when I got home I fell down my stairs and broke my toe...only me.

I hope you enjoyed my photo blog.

The Good Wife's Guide of 1955...

I got this in an e-mail today from my mother today. After I stopped laughing and got up off the floor I though that I would share it with you and get your thoughts on it.

this article has many things that are quite helpful for a modern 1955 woman like...

*Have dinner ready,Plan ahead, even the night before to have a wonderful dinner hot a ready for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking of him and have been wanting all day for his homecoming.

*Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair, look your best. He has just a hard a hard day at work.

*Clean up the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before he arrives.

*Gather up schoolbooks, toys, papers etc. then run a dust cloth over the table.

*Over the cooler months you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

*Prepare the children. take a few minutes to wash the children hands and face. comb their hair and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them to play the part.

*Be happy to see them.

*Greet him with a warm smile and show your desire to please him.

*Arrange his pillows and offer to take off his shoes.

*Do not ask him questions about his actions. Remember he is the master of the house and you have no right to question him.

*A good wife always knows her place.

This article was printed in Housekeeping Monthly on May 13, 1955. Its is amazing how this could have been something that a woman might have read 50 years ago to see how to act in life.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

So my dear friends Genevieve and Mike just got married about two weeks ago and I thought that I wound share with you how nice the wedding was.

(Here is the happy couple at the dinner after the wedding)

(This in during the wedding. Genevieve looked so beautiful.)

(And here they are just before walking down and giving their mothers both roses)

All in all it was a lovely. It was at a church in New Town. Adam and I did almost get lost on the way there. Its like some old movie set or something.

Anywho...after the wedding Adam and I plus Kristen, Bethany and Steph all headed to the hotel and got a few drinks before dinner. That was great to get to talk with them and for them to meet Adam. I think that he thought is was funny that we were all "talking with are hands". Ha! At the end of the night Bethany came up to me and hugged me and and then turned to Adam and said "Girl you better keep this one. I like him". It was too funny.

After the wedding was all over and we were on are way home we were talking about how nice the wedding was and all that when he said "Thats how I want our wedding to be"...ummm k.

But I guess that will have to be a blog for another day...
