::sigh:: I don't either. I have all this stuff that I printed out and notebooks full of journaling that I haven't looked at since the move 11 months ago. I guess I'm looking back a little at a time.
I hope everything's going great for you! I think I missed a birthday of yours but you are celebrating this coming weekend with the kids? Not even sure whose thread that was on. Anyhow, so happy for you and hope you have a great time with them.
My 1st born just turned a quarter century the other day. His dad always calls on his birthday.... it was a traumatic birth, long ago, he's always thought I deserved the credit. LOL. Funny that. Long story.
I was reading on some disconcerting threads that disappeared this morning. I hope your sw friend is okay and no harm has come to her. I don't have a fb thingie or any contact with anyone so no one would read my threads if you can find a way to say it's ok somehow with no one noticing I'd appreciate it. It's funny about these boards. Sometimes I feel like I'm eavesdropping when I read the threads or "butting in" on a conversation if I post. Anyhow, guess I'll stop making myself sound stranger than normal.
Thanks for staying in touch. I'm not sure if going back through this and "cleaning out" the files is good or not.
I called an old friend that I hadn't spoken with in almost 10 years and listened for hours as she told me about the train wreck her life had become. She wants to move here now and I don't even want her to. Maybe I feel safe in this "bubble" but I have to get out of it.
Did you ever see the dueling barges on the 4th? We went last year and are planning to go again this year. The whole weekend is crazy with festivals on both shores. The Seafood Fest has moved to Fontainbleau from the lakefront so the parking and festival is larger than ever on the north and "Go 4th on the River is bigger on the south.
I'll be thinking about everyone looking at the sky all over the country and hoping y'all get the fireworks of a lifetime.
