TODAY'S THE DAY


Today is the day I've been waiting for since 1971. When we married, I lived in Jackson and we lived there until December 1971. Rob wanted to be closer to his work and we built a home and moved back to Bradford since all our family was there it was a good idea, however, now my family is in Jackson and the Lord definitely made new plan for us. I am so happy to be going to live in Jackson where our back yards will connect with a bridge with my sister and her family. We'll also be closer to our children. All of that is such a blessing. I just praise the Lord for his wonderful idea! He is so good to us!!!

We've had a good life, raised two wonderful children and had a wonderful almost 36 years in "Big B." I have many, many wonderful memories of this home. There have been ups and downs, like when Rob was sick and had to have a kidney transplant in 2000, lost his job after almost 35 years and I lost both parents and my precious "Auntie Jewel," and Rob's mother but it is now time to continue on in our journey in life. I'll miss my First Baptist Church, where I was baptized and have gone all my life (we walked to church when I was young) and all of my wonderful friends and my sister-in-law, Patricia, and her family. I'll miss "E"arnestine" but she'll be coming to Jackson. I'll probably see more of Kelly and her kids than I did in Bradford since they are in Jackson all the time. There is nothing to compare to my home town were we both grew up as children and even graduated from high school in the same class, but now the Lord showed us a new plan. Rob was the boy mother picked for me long, long ago. You see Daddy owned "U'Totem Grocery", however we toted them, for all our growing up years and his family traded with him. I don't know how she knew him since she never went grocery shopping. She just made a list and Daddy brought the groceries home. Rob grocery shopped just like Daddy did. He got our groceries from Daddy and still does the grocery shopping most of the time. Now, instead of Bestway, it will be Kroger. Boy what a change!! We paid but not as much as the other customers.

We never dated in high school but we held hands in New York on the Senior Trip in 1965 because I was afraid and he was the tallest and biggest boy for me cause you see I was not too little myself!! Can you believe in 2007 that trip is still going on and we were afraid it would stop before we graduated!! We never even dated until later on and I was parked in Milan "probably with Monda," like we did back then and he drove up to talk to me and that was all it took and then from then on that was it. He sure did have any ugly BIG Green 1967 Pontiac car but I guess that didn't matter. He came to Jackson the next week and I came home on weekends. I was off on Wednesday afternoon and would come home. We'd meet at the store when I was leaving to say goodbye and maybe Kiss A Little, I think!!

Today we are On The Move!!! I can't wait but I still am a little sad but it is going to be a good day!!

In my next life...

Good advice

Off to Wal-Mart

Rob and I went to Wal-Mart last night in his new truck. It rides smoother than a jet. I might need to see about adding a refrigerator and a bathroom. Makes my tripes to the Big W very quick and comfortable.

Granny Kay & Poppa Rob

We are going to be grandparents. Kerri's daughter Jennny is due in October. Jenny had an ultrasound and I got a picture. I think he favores Sheldon's side of the family.

Surprised

I tell ya, I have walked so much with this move, cleaning, packing and getting ready to move. My feet really started to hurt. I went to get a pedicure and I could not believe it but I grew two more.

Update

Well I have been packing. I don’t know why Rob says I have a lot of stuff!







Rob was complaining that I did not leave room for him..I think there is plenty of room, see







I am not naming names but someone said that Kerri and I need something bigger to jump the ditch, wise guy!






All this packing has left me zausted. I need a nice relaxing bath with Diet Coke.









Bye for now Dollar General has diet coke on sale, that monster truck might come in handy after all.

Jackson

I know that I am going to like Jackson. There was a squirrel in the yard drinking my favorite, diet coke!


Of course he’s a dead little man if he touches MY Diet Coke!

Mean old Rob

Well, Rob says that I cannot buy that fancy house. I have to buy another one. I found one right behind Kerrie and Jay.



I am so excited to move there. There is only on problem. There is a ditch between our houses. I will just have to get me one of these to jump the ditch.

Dream House

I have been looking around for awhile and I have found my dream house. I have received my longevity money from the state. I have been packing up my house and I am so tired. It is a lot of work. I have found so much crap that I did not even know I had. I will be so glad when I move.

Moving...

Many of you know that Rob and I have decided to move to Jackson. We found a house that was too good to pass up. Here is the picture and I cannot wait.

Trip to GA

Kerri and I will be in GA this time next week. Can't wait to see M & M and Sheldon and Jenny. Everyone wants to know if we are going to that fancy restaurant.

Am really ecited.
