So it's the anniversary date of that day again in March that forever changed my life.
 I try so hard to only look forward in life, but there are times that call to you from the past. Especially when that past shaped me to the person I am today.
I did so good all day and for the days preceding today. I did my best mom routine and gave words of encouragement where needed. And I truely believe all the things I said. You have got to remember the good times and let the sad days go. We have to be thankful for the times we had together and the things we shared. We need to remember that positive person who was such a big influence in our lives. Memories will always be with us.
BUT..........I was driving down the road and it dawned on me that I am passing a milestone today. It's been 16 years. I had sixteen years with him and now it's been 16 years without him. Time has changed things on the balance scale. 16 with and 16 without.
So I've cried again. Now it's a bottle wine and a toast to the past.

Ahh it's the middle of March. Didn't we just have Christmas?  Time is flying by.
Gotta post this so it's a save memory. I had made plans with Harley for him to spend the night last night. He's been staying the night since he was 6 months old. When I got there to pick him up he's all ready and is excited. We planned to go to IHop for dinner and get green eggs and ham, then today we were going to see the new movie "The Lorax".
But guess what... this big brother was also ready to take baby with us. He says he would miss him and he had an old back pack that he would use to pack baby some stuff in. It's all good with me. This gives mommy and daddy a chance to get a full nights sleep. So off we go!!!!!
Baby only got up once during the night, then again about 5:45am. Not bad for his first night away from his parents. I am so blessed to have my grandkids this close to me! I'm a happy Nana!

Hey, it's almost the middle of March. What does that mean you ask? Almost time for camping season to open. April 1st is the magic day. That's on a Sunday and the official day to park the camper at the campground. Ahh the smell of a campfire, the mesmorizing flames from the fire dancing in the dark of the night, the nice people you meet camping, the grilling of food outside, and the relaxing walks around the park. Oh if you ask Kenny it would be fishing, but all I need is a book and a good spot in the shade. I'm ready.

So with these words of wisdom, I leave you to figure out what you are planning to do this summer!

It's now March. Where has time gone? I'm good wth the mild weather we have had this winter, but a turn for colder temps has ruined my sandle wearing days for a while longer.
Baby Landon is now 7 weeks old and growing so fast. He went to daycare last week and has done so well. Poor mommy has had the hardest time. When he starts sleeping longer stretches it will help everybody! All in good time.

It's almost camping time......... we spent this weekend working in the camper, cleaning and painting.

http://rvredo.blogspot.com/  Here is a blog I set up to log our progress on the camper. It's a work in progress, but I love a good project. I should be a project queen. I love working on stuff.  This camper is a perfect project. The price was right, the size and layout is just right.. I am excited to make it our style.

We are ready to have it set up at the campground and be a place to relax and enjoy!

Gotta love the internet. It's just like everything else. Alway changing the way you do things even without your consent. Blogger has changed the format for posting and viewing post I've written. Now I've got to get used to something new and get back to writing stuff.
Winter here has been a wonderful time.....mild, sunny, and very few cold days below freezing. I'll take that this year. But I'm really ready for camping season. Looking forward to the first of April. 
Most folks wouldn't understand the camping life. I've had friends say it's" just another place to clean", or "why go somewhere else when you could sleep in your own bed?".
First there is the firepit relaxing time, and the lawn chair by the river time--water and fire is always mezmorizing, the people are usually so friendly at campgrounds, but the most important thing about camping is the disconnection from everyday life!!!!!! Just getting away from the normal enviroment seems to recharge the brain. Camping even in an RV is all about taking the time for us and giving us the opportunity to relax and take a time out from life!
This fifth wheel we have now is a bit of a fixer upper. That is wonderful as far as I am concerned. I can't wait to do some painting and make some new curtains and of of course the decorating part. It's all part of creating a place to relax and enjoy. I love projects!!!!

I'm a grandma again! Second grandson, born to my son and daughter-in-law. Tomorrow he will be one week old. I'm in love with another little boy and can only invision the future with him becoming a major player along with his brother. Grandchildren are a gift.  Big brother was instantly bonding with that baby. He was so funny with all his comments all weekend long. Nana---"I've been dreaming about my brother for a long time, and now I'e got to see him and it still seems like a dream!" that was said the night after his first visit. Then when baby and mom got home, he says it's the best day of his life!!!!!! Oh I hope that love keeps coming thru especially after baby learns to crawl and get into big brother's toys!!!!
I bet lots of post this year will be full of 2 little boys and the milestones of another year.

Well I started the new year off with a bang. About noon on New Yrs Day, my fever shot up and by evening I knew I had strep throat. Thank goodness my Dr was in on Monday. I got 2 shots and 10 days worth of meds. I was wiped out and felt like I had been run over by a truck. Now a week later, I'm trying to get myself in better health.
I missed all the after Christmas sales. (not a bad thing)  I've had time to think of lots of "to do" list. (could be a bad thing)
The BIG thing I have accomplished this weekend, is to clean out my closet. If it didn't fit, hadn't been worn all season, made me feel frumpy or didn't match anything....I sacked it and sent it to Goodwill.  My sock drawer and the underwear drawers are next. It's a wonderful feeling to have released all that extra stuff and gotten it out of the way. I'm prepared to work on the rest of my house and all the closets. there is freedom in purging!!!!!!
That one job was enough for me this weekend. I'll be ready to tackle something next weekend I hope.

Summer's coming and I want to go camping and know that my house is not being neglected too bad!
