Between the date you were born and the date you die
there is a dash –
How Will You Be Remembered?
What do you want people to remember most about you?
Were you kind and honest….trustworthy and forgiving?
Did you spew hatred and untruths or did you speak with love and kindness.
Were you a hard worker, a good friend, a fantastic lover?
What will you be remembered for between the dash?

I’ll admit it, I am a big cry baby, I used to cry at the drop of a hat, but then again I’ve had a lot to cry about over the years. My husband, not so much. I can count on 1 hand just how many times I’ve seen him cry and I think the number may be close to if not zero, he said it has been more, but I’m talking about “boo hoo” crying.
Our oldest son is just like him, he would drop a few tears every now and then if he got into trouble as a young kid. Now, my youngest son, had he been a girl, I would have dubbed him a “Drama Queen”. Like me, he can cry in a New York minute, mostly to get out of trouble, but I’ve seen him cry at funerals so some of those tears have been genuine.
I want to ask my husband and oldest son, “will you cry if I die?”
I guess I should go ask them…hold on…I’ll be right back…
…Okay, I’m back and they both said, “yes” but not until after they looked at me as if I had two heads! I told you, it was just a random thought!
Goodnight!

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!
I trust you all had a great weekend with an opportunity to do something special with your family or friends. Saturday evening after spending all day sitting on hard gym bleachers at our son’s 1st wrestling tournament, hubby and I attended a festive family event. The family members were some that we had never met before nor did we know they live only 12 miles from us.
It was at my mother-in-law’s funeral this past summer that a cousin told us about this annual family affair and invited us to attend. It was a festive evening spent with our new found family members and their wonderful friends.
Here are a few highlights from the evening.
Their home was beautifully decorated and decked out for the holidays
Plenty of food and drinks…
Chatter and Cheesecakes…
Joyful jokes and jolly …
Many conversations and memories from past…
Festive photo in front of twinkling windows…
Giggles, games and gambling…
A night of Festive Family Fun led to a our first Snowy Sunday…
Did you do anything festive this weekend?
