Blogging: Children and Heaven

I think this blogging is very interesting stuff. I sent word of this blog to quite a few people. A few people even looked at it. I had 4 votes on my poll, 1 was mine, so that's 3 people. I heard from 1 person via e-mail so that's 4 people.

Oh and my daughter was here, because she fixed a problem I was having. That's another thing I forgot to mention about my daughter, Abby. She is a true computer geek. Enough of one to get paid for her talents. Needless to say I am very proud of her for it. She is good at anything she tries. When she worked at a large retailer for 4+ years she had learned every department and they needed help as a cashier in Pharmacy so she went over their to help out. They begged to keep her and she stayed six months and learned the names of all the prescriptions to keep from getting bored. She could have been a Pharmacy Tech and studied to be a Pharmacist, but she really wasn't interested in it. She just did it to occupy her mind! Well she loves computers, so she's finally hitting her stride and that makes me very happy for her. And proud, did I mention that.

Children are the delight of a mother's heart that is for sure. I mention in my notes about my business that it is named after my child David. He would be 32 now. I had him when I was just a bit over 20. He was a delightful baby. My comfort comes from the Lord - in knowing I will see him again in Heaven, which I know a sure as I'm sitting here typing this.

I'm in know rush to get to Heaven, but I know I'll have a great time when I get there!

LibbyTalks said...: There are two things hardest in life. Losing a child and losing a mother. I have experienced the first, but still have my darling mother. And she is a sweetie. I cherish every moment we have together and every phone conversation. I savor them and remember them later.

No one can make me laugh like my mom, no one ever will.; June 4, 2008 at 4:47 AM

Our 29th Wedding Anniversary on 7/27/08

It was right around the time of our anniversary that my husband's sister sent us a picture from the old neighborhood of his mother's peony bush still going strong. It is so amazing. She planted that bush almost 50 years ago, as long or longer (depending on how long we live) as our marriage will have years in it! She is in Heaven, but her flowers live on. So there is another piece of her living on: in her children and her peonies. Kind of makes you want to garden!

We had a lovely anniversary weekend. Spent quality time and some celebration, just like we planned. Maybe on our 30th we will pull out the stops!

June Wedding '07

Random Pictures

These photographs are a bit at random. (New Blogger). They're of important events this year. Abby was very successful in Hockey -- even skating out (she's a natural born goalie!) and made it to the State Tournament for WHAM: Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota. She also got a snowmobile with her friend Teri, they geared up and were off in the Northland! We attended Rog's 93rd birthday party this year. He was born on St. Patrick's day and we celebrate like crazy for him every year. He is a remarkable man who has invented a vital safety component for leisure boats. We found a great new place by the Lake for my mom to stay -- Sojourn Suites and she made friends with everyone -- including her buddy Mildred. I learned to get my picture taken without closing my eyes. And made friends on Facebook with an excellent photographer from Australia, Mark Chatwin. So Enjoy this Blog! Read on and Feast your Eyes! My daughter can shoot that camera!

My Beautiful Mom

I wanted to write something about my mom. It probably doesn't belong over here on the side, but she doesn't crave the limelight. My mom is a courageous woman. And very beautiful. And she doesn't know either of these things about herself.

Her calling in life is to bless and encourage her children to be the best people they can be and at almost 80 and hindered by the early stages of Alzheimer's she is still doing a bang-up job of it.

She is my best girlfriend. She is the first person I want to read my writing to. She is my cheerleader and biggest fan and she has been since I can remember. Everyone should have a mom like mine for 80 years or so. Thanks mom! I love you! Lib

Married Best Buds!

My husband and I will be married 30 years next summer and we will stay married as long as we live. I say this with great confidence because we share a strong base: we have a strong faith in God, we have a strong love for each other -- and we are definitely best friends. So that when things are tough out in the world we can lean on God and we are on each other's side because of our strong friendship. So we make it through with flying colors! And have quite a bit of fun and humor doing so. I thank God for my husband, my best -- forever friend!

Photography by Libby

All the photography you see of people is taken by me. I love to study people and take pictures of people. If I were at a job interview I probably couldn't resist saying I love people, because I do!
All the wedding pictures were taken with my cell phone. The others with a great camera my daughter gave me for Christmas '07. As you go down the line on the left there are pictures of some favorite cousins of mine and their dad, my husband's uncle who I claim too! With the exception of pictures of me which are taken by the lovely blond (one of the twins) are taken by me. This is of an exciting event. The dashing fellow you see in all the pictures has just turned 93 on St. Patrick's Day and we have all gone to his town St. Peter, MN to celebrate!!!

We are celebrating the life of a man who is so vital ~ he is still an inventor ~ and is developing products that will increase safety in the boating industry.
