Card, Replies to Comments, Hair and Visitation

I have some of the sweetest

friends. The card below

came from Rebecca, my friend

and the realtor that sold my home.

There was the nicest note

inside about how she thanked

me for having her sell my home.

Rebecca has only been selling homes

for a few months. She even included

a $50 Lowe's gift card. 

How sweet was that?

In my post the other day

about the Print Company 

changed Shear City for 

hair Ann over at https://annssnapeditscrap.blogspot.com/

mentioned that the place 

sure looked nice and 

wondered what it looked

like before....

NOT LIKE THAT!!

It was a small family owned

printing company. Can't even 

remember the man who owned

its name. There was the owner,

man who went out to pull in 

customers, a pressman, and 

me and another young woman

that worked bindery. I only worked

there one summer. However when 

school started back I was in the 10th

and I took Graphic Arts (printing) 

which lead to my printing background. 

Liz over at https://lawsofgravity.blogspot.com/

stated that she was hoping I was

okay from my few days of dropping

away from blogging. Thanks Liz, just

trying to learn to walk away from it 

some and try to get somethings done.

Plus, the internet issue which is not

completely internet, its an AT&T issue. 

You also asked if I told my hair dresser

about the building she now works out

of. Oh yes, when she told me months ago

that she was going there to work I 

told her.  I wished I was into my camera

back then so that I could have had 

some pictures of the place before.

Rain over at http://www.rainfrances.com/

mentioned my new yard art mower. 

HAHA...yep, its yard art cause I 

sure am NOT using it on my yard

esp in the heat of the summer, on 

a hill in a large yard!! Its bad enough

thinking about doing it as a kid without

a self pulling mower I use now. 

Cindy at https://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/

stated that she would probably

hang her undies up if they were

as pretty as the one I showed

on my blog from the internet.

Hey Cindy, granny panties here!

And as far as those tiny little

thongs, NO WAY! Spent all

my life trying to keep my undies

out of my crack, sure don't want

any that is made to be that way!!

I know TMI....TMI...

Darla over

made me laugh out loud with

her comment about me shooting

the wedding of my ex boy friend

and his new wife. She said I was

classy for doing that!! I told her

I could never remember a time

I was told I was classy!! I am 

pretty lucky with ex's, I have 

remained friendly with all the

guys I dated before marriage

and after, except one and 

that was his choice and it

is probably for the best. And

my ex hubs. We could have

been friends for the kids but

he married a WITCH with 

a B. Hey, classy, I like that!

Back stabbing, and that

one caused so much stress,

heartache and pain in my

life that I am thankful to 

not have either my ex hubs

or her in my life now. 

So Nashville is in phase three

of opening back up so with

that I have done a small

gathering with Julie,

Debby and Autumn for

a brown bag lunch. 

I came in from work riding

with the windows down 

and the sunroof open so

the hair took a beating.

Oh my gosh, it looks so

FLAT.

The next day I went

to a visitation for 

a young man I have

known since his birth. 

I did not want the flat

look so here it the results

of blow drying and styling.

Back to the young man, 

Matt. He was exactly one

year and one day older

then my daughter, Turned

40 in Dec. He was basically

raised by his grandma and 

granddad, father in the pic,

mom not so much. Mom

and his grandma were good 

friends.My daughter played 

with him a kid and went to

school with him

Anyway, Matt somewhere

along the journey of life

got into drugs and drinking.

One day last week, his dad

was coming to pick him up

and when he got to the house

he found him dead. OD'd 

with the syringe next to him. 

My heart hurts for him. I can't

understand what makes a person

even try it just once. I don't get

it. We all have issues, we all 

have ghost and demons that 

eat at us. What makes a person 

think that drink or drugs can take

you away from all that? The yr

I had after moms

passing I could have become

a bad drunk or druggie, my

yr was the pits. What made

me fight it differently? Anyway,

my daughter took off work

early and picked me up and we

went together. 

It was sad for Matt, the family,

and for me. Matt's grandma was

gone, she left us a couple yrs

before mom. This was something

mom and I did together, visitations.

I would have drove her to this one,

I drove her to his grandmas visitation.

We always paid our respects together.

I know it sounds strange but I 

missed her with me. 

And he is your

laugh for the day~
