VFW Women's Auxiliary

Went to my first meeting last night and have already been elected to office! I'm afraid the women's auxiliary in Macomb is badly in need of new blood. Most of the members are older and the officers are staying in office for the sole reason that they can't get anybody else to do it. They pounced on me!

I'm hoping I can recruit some new, younger members. I know there are lots of people my age out there who have parents who served and now have sons and daughters serving. It seems only natural that we shoud step up and take on the responsibility now.

Home

After a week in Texas it is COLD up here! 34 degrees and it's 9:44 am. The wedding was good and I can hardly wait to see pictures. All in all it was a pretty good trip but I think we ran poor Jery and Camii ragged. I know they were both tired and sick and probably had things of their own they needed to get done.

More Goodbyes

Just got home from another goodbye to friends from work. It's hard watching your friends leave one by one even when you know you won't be far behind them. There are some that I will miss very much and some that I won't miss at all. Of all the times this has happened, I think today was probably the worst so far. Two from my own department said goodbye today. I have just one more month before I'm done and it is going to be a VERY long month.

Cut it off

I found David Wilkerson's blog! I remember David Wilkerson from "The Cross and the Switchblade." We are talking YEARS ago. I even went to see him one time and I must say it was awesome. I do not really get into religion but this man is worth listening to. His topic today was Cut them off.

If it offends you cut it off. I'm reading that this morning thinking - Sam. Cut it off. Not that I could, or would say anything against him - there is simply nothing there. Cut it off. I'm going to have to do that.

Quiet

It's 6 am on Sunday morning and my house is once again very quiet. My son, daughter in law, her brother and cousin just left to go back to Texas. I'm amazed at how fast this week has flown by. In a couple of weeks I'll be flying out to San Antonio for the wedding ceremony and in another month, they'll head off to England for three years. I don't know when I'll get to see them again and it makes me very sad. It's bad enough with them in Texas. Maybe I'll have to go to England! Actually, I may just do that.

We had another party here Friday night for some of the people who couldn't come to the first one. Heather and Faron have been over quite a bit along with some of Hud's friends. All in all, my house has been very full for the past week. As I sit here this morning, I have a very heavy sense of being all alone again. Although I have always been somewhat of a solitary person, at times it gets to you - and this is one of those times. I must admit that I will not miss the video games. I have never had much of a tolerance for them and that has evidently not changed. I did not mind the wii fit with the aerobics, sports, and balance games but honestly just do not understand the attraction of the rock band, bunnies.......................... whatever.

I will however, get back into the "normalicy" of my life. Actually - maybe not. My "normalicy" is about to change with the job ending and the whole school thing about to start. I have been working on transferring all my contacts from my work computer to my home computer, signing up for the online job search sites, updating profiles....................... There are some people I will definitely want to stay in contact with.

Oh well, it is now 6:30 and I am going to start working on making my house mine again. Not that the kids messed anything up really but we all have our own sense of order and I need to get my mind on something besides my son being gone.
