All my life I’ve been the kind of person who when things got hard or tough believed in sucking it up and moving on, often after a small pity party of one.  I’ve envisioned literally pulling up my bootstraps, lacing those old weathered things, and thinking let’s get this show on the road.  I am simply a woman who really does love life and yes, I complain about it a lot, but I love every single minute. I have three amazing children, a gruffy old husband I love, affectionately called the Bald Eagle, a Dad who is still kick butt strong at 82, and a Mom who passed from Alzheimers in November 2016…  And while no one may ever read this but me, it’s a place for me to save all the things I can, when I can, and hopefully one day my children will find it when I’m not here on this earth, and they’ll laugh, shake their heads, shed a tear or two, and be glad I was their Mama.
