HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!!!

Today is our son, Jonathan's 11th Birthday. I remember it well. We lived in Wellington, Florida and it was a dark rainy night. My Mom made me chicken paprikash for dinner. Our good friend Bert said that "You;ll have that baby shortly after you eat your favorite meal." Unbelievably.... it happened. I had contractions starting about 9pm and left for the hospital at around 9:45. Bert came to watch the other two boys for us. Jonathan was born quickly, around 11:30pm. I promised myself that he wouldnt be born on Halloween and I kept that promise. We were now parents to three beautiful boys! Just a little guy with black hair and brown eyes. I was so suprised that he was so much smaller than our other two boys.
Jonathan brought Mike and I so much joy. He was not a lot of trouble as he slept well and ate well and smiled all the time. To this day (11 years later) he still smiles a lot. Aunt Barb calls him her Jonny Angel... I call him my little Sunfish, and he likes that knickname. With all my love to Jonathan, Happy Birthday, baby!

AN ACT OF KINDNESS

My very good friend, Annette has the biggest heart... Always, in her thoughts are the happiness of others. For example, we were shopping at the Flower Factory last week and she spotted some pot holders, towels and such and decided to get them for 2 hostess gifts for parties she would be attending this weekend. Needless to say this is a common occurance when it comes to Annette. She loves to spread the cheer and her thoughtfulness is so well taken that it makes others want to do the same. I love to give little gifts also but I usually do it for holiday parties and it is usually a small handmade gift of my heart.

Annette and I will be making hand crafted gifts for an open house at Gails house in early December. I am excited that we are crafty gals and we have fun doing it. Lots of love in the house.

So much to do

It is now 6pm and I am trying to tie things up with so many of my oddities that I am doing. Room mom stuff, football stuff, doctor stuff, telephone losing stuff, and crafts that I am making to sell at a craft boutique this December. My friend Annette and I always have a lot of fun doing these crafts. Painting, collecting, glueing stuff to the kitchen table and floor. What a mess we can make. Lots and lots of stuff. Sometimes it gets to me and I dont want to do any more anymore. It gets to me mentally that i just want to finish projects and not have any more to do than the minimum. I would be a very good quaker or amish person with the simplistic lifestyle. I dont like a lot of stuff. You know STUFF, that gets in the way of doing what needs to be done. Like stuff that doesnt work and you need to keep it for sentimental reasons. Like stuff that piles up so you dont know what kind of stuff you actually have or want or need. Just get rid of it, somehow!!! Enough for now....
