Hmmm? Let me see. What has happened?
Youngest son got married to his wonderful girl of 12 years. It was such a sweet wedding. I didn't have to lift a finger but show up. How dare they plan, arrange, cook and set up their own venue and wedding! Oh, trust me, we all tried! But it was "No Ma and Pa, we can do it ourselves" Oh dear, did we go and an independent son? My bad.
How did he propose you ask? Well, he didn't do anything dangerous, thank god. They had planned a trip to a very special light house along the California Coast and did the tourist thing by taking a tour of the cliffside and lighthouse.. My son had made sure to always remain in the front of the tour group......…for a very sneaky reason. When they had reached the side of the lighthouse over looking the ocean, the tour guide was discussing the history of the house. At the end, she asked if there were any questions. My son said "Yes, I have a question" He then got down on one knee on the side of the cliff and in front of the group, he asked his girl to marry him. She turned him down and everyone said WTF!...…..lol. No, they didn't...….lol.
No grandkids on the horizon. But we do have a grandkitty that I spoil. It is the first ever cat I have ever loved, let alone like, tolerate or want to kick down the street. The Meister is now 2 years old and was found when she was a week old under a trash dumpster. They raised her on a bottle and held her constantly until she was able to move around alone at 8 weeks. They both took turns carrying her in a baby snuggie on their chests so she could hear a heart beat as if it was her mommy. That is probably why she is so loving and soft. Not temperamental, aloof, snappy, cruel or vindictive like most cats. Did I say I spoiled her? Let me give you an example. On Thanksgiving day the kids were coming over at noon. I called at 9 am and asked if they were bringing my fluffball. They said that with all of the food and containers, they couldn't fit her carrier or her litterbox in the car. I immediately jumped up and said that I was on my way to get her. What makes this different than any other day? lol...….well...……….on Thanksgiving day in Cali, there was a drastic thunderstorm with floods all over the place, high winds and freezing temps. I drove through flooded streets, rain so heavy I had the wipers on over time and winds that plastered my hair onto my face. But I had to get to my fluffball so I could spend thanksgiving day with her.
If I did that for a kitty cat, can you imagine what I would do for a child?...………………..hahahahahaa. I am ok with no grandbabies yet. I want my sons and their girls to enjoy life and to be selfish for a while. Yes, they are in their late to mid thirties, but that is ok. I want them to be they way I raised them. Free, independent, selfish, fun loving and to do as they please, not as life dictates it. As long as their girls don't feel their clocks ticking, I am okie dokie. The law doesn't state women should have babies.
Anyhoo, more updates coming soon. I think one update at a time is more than enough. I don't want to put anyone asleep. |
