I believe most have given up on me posting in this blog but I need to express my thoughts on this electi0n on Nov. 4th. I feel this election is the most important for many years. I am not telling what I think others should do but what I want on the record is what I feel. If we are ever going to reverse Roe vs Wade, this is the time. May God help each of us make the proper choice. Everything else takes second place to this important issue.
Hello Family, Claremce called me this morning. He is absolutely an amazing person. He sounded just great. He said he is fine and is looking forward to the big one, 100. He enjoyed his 99th birthday and many of the family were there. He talked about many of them and always asked about all of you. He was happy to hear about Jerome and Janet and their new baby, and then talked abut Duane Gels and Tim Thompson’s adopted children. I filled him in on me and other family happenings. He always mentions he would like me to come up and stay there for they have a room I could use. I told him maybe this summer Joan and I can make a trip up to visit him. He sure enjoys his free csll on the computer. He said there are 32000 games and he has done 29005 so far. I believe he intends to do everyone of them. He said he keeps on each one until he gets it. Now that is deterination. He does persevere. It is always great to hear from him. He ia a man to be admired. He has done so many things in his life. Well, just wanted to let you know about Uncle Clarence. Love, Mombo
Dear Clan, Molina is theirs. Jerome called about 2:30 p.m. today. They are in the Hotel, have a cell phone and have Molina with them. They got her at 9 this morning.. She is doing fine, takes the bottle ok, checked her, thought she might have a temp, checked that, probably just teething. He said she is playing and has her own personality. He put the phone up to her ear and I talked to her and I could hear her babble at the other end. Jerome said she kept looking at the phone. They have a cell phone and he gave me the # if we need it for an emergency. He said it would be very expensive to call there. Better for them to use the phone they got down there. I asked about her name and Janet said they had it down to 3 and will decide by tomorrow. Ha, first he said 2 and Janet said 3. Connie is a very big help for she use to work at a care center and knows how to quiet babies down. He said they got some video but lighting not good. They are both very happy and excited. What a wonderful Valentine’s Day for them and for all of us. Thank you Lord Jesus for this special day. Love to all. Mombo/Grammo
It is late and I must get to bed for I am going with Joan to her school tomorrow and then to our doctor appointments at Dr.Jerome’s and then to Janet and Jerry after that. This will be short but wanted to thank John for his entry about St. Henty. I never saw those pictires and loved seeing them. I’ll need some help but would like to post on this blog the picture I have from Jack of our house taken back in the 1930’s. Thanks John. Now to bed. Up at 5, Wow.
Really did not intend to write something today but I just read John’s Blog. It touched me and then again it made me chuckle. How little we know about ourselves until someone hits you with something that makes you think… It has been a great day. Many cards and phone calls, kids stopping in, a great-grandson running in saying “Happy Birthday”. A call from Jack and Betty who are at Myrtle Beach. What a life flowing with blessings. Thank you Lord, it is great to be 81…..
Well, I’ll give it a try. Not exactly sure what I am doing. Maybe if I start, I surely will or should improve.
Was thinking of a game we had as kids the other day. Need to ask Jack if he remembers a game we had that was called “Big Banker”. We had to write checks, make deposits etc, and the cover stood up so it was like a teller window. Funny how thoughts go back so often. This was in childhood days, St. Henry days, in the 30’s. Quite a good learning game. Not sure where we got it. Most likely from Alma. Esther or Helen at Christmas time. One of the times Pop stopped teaching and tried it in the business world, he was a banker but always went back to his calling, being a teacher.
The other day, Josh was asking me about dominoes. He said they played it a lot in their spare time in Iraq. It is challenging if you keep track of what is still out and keep score. Told him “Yes, we played dominoes”. He wondered if any of the Clan plays dominoes. Let him know. He is taking it easy and checking out Northen Ky University, thinking of going back to school. Hope he does.
