    Granny's Birth Control Pills

    I got this from a co worker thought it was funny and thought you guys would like this.. pretty funny...


    A doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her lifefinally retired.

    At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.

    "Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills? "Yes, they help me sleep at night." "Mrs.Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!"

    She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee. "Yes, dear,I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks.................................. And believe me, it helps me sleep at night."

    hehe.. Thought it was funny.. but i'm glad my mom or granny didn't do this to me when I was that age :-)

    To My friend Vicky Paul

    As some of you have read my sister Mary's Blog.. A friend of mine has suddenly passed away at the age of 33.. just 9 days before her 34th birthday..

    I met Vicky after David and I got married and there were weekends where we got together as 2 married couples going out to eat, going to each other houses to chat till late hours of the night just being friends.. we had done this for a few years until Vicky and her husband went their seperate ways and David and I had split up 3 months after the Paul's went on their seperate way.. but still Vicky and I continued to talk to each other from time to time and comforting each other in our feelings over things that went through our lives.. She was a very good friend to have.. So when I heard of her death it really shocked me.. because She and I had just talked to each other just a few days before.. little did I know it would be the last time I talked to her...

    Since finding out her death this past Friday.. I've thought about her a lot and wondering what her children will be going through now... They were VERY close to their mom..

    I was playing my music on my Windows Media Player playing the songs I have on my computer when a song started playing and I knew exactly this is the song I wanted to dedicate to Vicky.. so here it is..


    Michael W. Smith -
    Friends Are Friends Forever

    Packing up the dreams God planted
    In the fertile soil of you
    I can't believe the hopes He's granted
    Means a chapter of your life is through


    But we'll keep you close as always
    It won't even seem you've gone
    'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
    Will keep the love that keeps us strong


    And friends are friends forever
    If the Lord's the Lord of them
    And a friend will not say never
    'Cause the welcome will not end
    Though it's hard to let you go
    In the Father's hands we know
    That a lifetime's not too long
    To live as friends


    And with the faith and love God's given
    Springing from the hope we know
    We will pray the joy you live in
    Is the strength that now you show


    We'll keep you close as always
    It won't even seem you've gone
    'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
    Will keep the love that keeps us strong


    And friends are friends forever
    If the Lord's the Lord of them
    And a friend will not say never
    'Cause the welcome will not end
    Though it's hard to let you go
    In the Father's hands we know
    That a lifetime's not too long
    To live as friends


    And friends are friends forever
    If the Lord's the Lord of them
    And a friend will not say never
    'Cause the welcome will not end
    Though it's hard to let you go
    In the Father's hands we know
    That a lifetime's not too long
    To live as friends


    To live as friends

    Though it's hard to let you go
    In the Father's hands we know
    That a lifetime's not too long
    To live as friends
    No a lifetime's not too long
    To live as friends



    Vicky... You will be close to my heart and I will never forget the friendship that you and I had.. You are going to be very sorely missed by everyone who ever knew you.. Rest In Peace my friend..

    Mother,Daughters.Sister's Day Together

    For MONTHS Mom, Mary and I had been talking about wanting to get together and start with our quilts etc. Mary and I have had so much excitement on being able to get together to do something together.. we bought our fabrics, quilting "tools" like Rotary Cutter, rulers, scissors etc. and just couldn't wait to have that special day!!

    Like I said it was MONTHS ago when we started talking about this.. but we just really had a hard time coming up on a day we could all get together.. Mom has been on vacation a few times, Mary has had previous commitments with her kids activites etc. and I had other plans that is until a week ago saturday when we had our birthday dinner.. Mary and I talked about getting together on the following saturday and we put down on calendar that this was the day we chose.. for the following saturday.. which was YESTERDAY!!!

    At first I wasn't gonna go because since Friday morning up till yesterday I had a REALLY BAD headache and didn't really think I could do a good job on learning stuff with a headache and nothing was helping it.. But when Mary got me on the messenger she said "get dressed and go to mom's!!" well I don't usually follow what my sister says but I told robert i'd go to mom's and I went and got dressed and I got to mom and dad's house and about a minute later Mary arrived.. we talked and worked out our "strategy" for the day...

    We first had to go to Wal Mart and buy a few things that we would need.. Sewing machine needles, Batting, Quilting Basting Spray and then we were on our way home.. we had lunch first and then we got to work... we had our own little stations on the dining room table.. I really wish we had pictures taken for this thing.. showing that we were really working!!! LOL

    Mom helped me with learning how to measure the fabric the right way and cutting the material etc. I was really really nervous because I wanted to make sure I was making 4 place mats right.. I had enough material where I started cutting for 4 placemats, 4 "coasters" to match the placemats and another 4 coasters for the living room!! and still have some materials left hehe..

    Time really really flew throughout the day.. before we knew it was getting to be 5 30!! we just really had fun having a mom/daughters/sister day.. we talked about things related to quilting giving ideas on what we wanted to do and our suggestions etc. and I really didn't want to end the day but I knew we would have to.... I managed to get all the materials cut etc. and got 1 together (not sewn yet) but that's my next task is getting everything pinned together and then sew it!!!

    I told Mary last night on the VP that I talked to mom and I suggested that we get together every month 1st Saturday of the month and work on quilting etc. and Mary said YES and mom said YES too so i'm excited to start having this get together..

    My placemats won't be done by christmas but that's ok.. it'll be ready for next year :) Since probably next year christmas might be having it here at my house or will it be mom's??? hmmm LOL

    My next project on my quilting will have something to do with Precious Moments OF COURSE hehe.. I'm thinking of making a "Quilt Throw" or maybe just a pillow or something haven't really decided on which I will do... Eventually I'm wanting to make something with a Monkey on it.. that'll be for Robert.. Just dont' know what unless he tells me what he would want me to make (hint hint robert) hehe..

    Well.. that's about all the excitement I got going on in my life right now..I guess I'll close for now..
