We are trying to get rid of stuff in the basement…I have lost track of the times we have sorted, moved, stacked and tossed things in our basement which belongs(ed) to ‘him’, me, my folks, his folks, my grandparents, his grandparents, my Aunt Frances and our girls. I was down there a few minutes ago, pulling things off shelves that I have decided to part with and I wondered…when I did this last time, why wasn’t I able to part with it then? Strange. Dad will be gone 12 years ago tomorrow and I’m just now deciding to part with his old hand tools…I found a spot for his old fishing gear and all of his artwork and clay work…I have totes of stuff to sell on ebay that belonged to mom and Aunt Frances…I hope to start clearing out those totes soon.
My other: I like this word a lot!

is what I want the baby to call me. By the way, we find out January 7th whether it is a baby girl or baby boy. Granny Brenda has already told me she likes Granny because that is what she called hers. I’m torn…at first “he” said…perhaps you should leave it up to the baby as to what “he” calls you…but I think “she” will call me whatever Jenny and Justin call me to her…and what ever this grandaughter calls me…this will kind of set it up for the multitude of grandchildren to follow. I had a Grandma Green and Grandma Brown…My girls had a Grandma Green and Grandma Brown. At first, I kind of liked the idea of Grandma…then I hear the sweet names like Nana which sounds a lot like NINA and Gram or Grammy…but that is pretty close to Granny….and I think..well that sounds sweet….Then I realized, I’m just totally over analyzing this thing.
Happy New Year…
Until next time…
