[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 611029, member: 84"] Tiapet, if you're close enough, we'd be happy to adopt you. :) (Just ask AnnieO lol ) I had wonderful female role models growing up. Grandma was practical and maternal. My aunt Janet (pronounced Jeanette) was maternal, creative, as fun as hades. I'm trying hard to do both of them proud. People have forgotten along the way in our ever increasing techno oriented society that tradition is what binds family together and forges strong relationships. I'm a simple person. And to me life is all about the simple things that most people miss while they're looking/searching for the big stuff they may or may not find. I cherish my childhood memories, especially the simple ones that involve family. I tried hard to give those memories to my children and now to my grandchildren. I'm pleased they enjoy it so darned much. Because I hope and pray they take these memories and pass them on to their children and grandchildren. I did have a moment when I said" everyone turn off the electronics" Only to find out they had their phones ect on because they were using them to take photos. lol (yay!) So I must be on the right track. We did have a couple of unusual moments. A skull decorated the kitchen table as part of the center piece. It's normally placed in the livingroom and the past two years the running joke was to place Fred's Vietnam Vet ball cap type hat on it. Since it was on the table and I had the hat put away up on a higher shelf on the bookcase where it really can't be seen unless you're looking for it........it wasn't placed onto the skull this year. At some point during the party, the hat made it onto the skull. We noticed because easy child made a comment she wished we'd stop doing it because it weirded her out......Nichole agreed. Travis wanted to know who had found the hat. (I'd moved it to the book case when Rufus joined the family as he chews odd items) Nichole's husband certainly didn't put it there because he'd have made a joke about it as soon as we noticed it. Grandchildren would not have [B]dared[/B] to do so. So maybe Fred was letting us know he was here too. Wouldn't surprise me. lol Nichole, who had her adult party the day before.......was decorating when she suddenly had a very strong paranoid feeling that someone was standing directly behind her watching her. She turned very suddenly in order to catch whomever it was........saw a blur whoosh.....and it was gone. Chilled her to the bone. So evidently the party is popular enough to attend even if you've crossed over. :rofl: I [B]am[/B] disappointed that I had to keep it to family this year because I was afraid I'd have to cancel last minute. AnnieO I'd hoped you'd bring the little bumble bee. I have a friend at work I was planning to ask if she wanted to bring her 9 yr old stepdaughter.
