Memories...they make you happy they make you sad.......
Today is a happy/sad day for me.........
I have Keegan who I Heart more than words can say
I plan on visiting Tristan later who makes my life special
I have had the privilege of wishing several very special people happy birthday
My mind is filled with thoughts of George and that day 6 years ago that changed our lives...
I wonder what he thinks of me now..if he see the new people in our lives....
I wonder if his kids know just how special they were to him.....
I wonder if it makes him sad that we don't interact as a family......
I wonder does he get to laugh and feel joy.....
I wonder does he still know he is LOVED...........

minus two weeks and counting
April 27th 2010 will see me on a plane headed for LAX where I will board a plane to Frankfurt Germany. I plan on blogging my entire trip while I am there. I hope to post pictures as we travel.
Our agenda will go something like this:
LAX.......FRANKFURT.......SALZBURG.....EDELWEISS....PRAGUE...AND POSSIBLY VENICE....
This trip has been a long time planning and I have worked my fanny off and I am so ready to board that plane and fly off into the blue.....For any of you who care I hope I don't let you down.

Yesterday
Yesterday Tristan had his tonsils and adenoids taken out and his sinius routed. My precious little 3 year old was so brave right up until they tried to prep him to "fix his throat." At that point I am told he was like a furious tiger. So much so that mom and dad were asked to leave while they preped him. They were over an hour late taking him in, they should take into account that these children haven't eaten or slept since the day before.
When the surgery was over they took his parents back to this little cube and sat Mindy in this hugh leather recliner. Her baby boy was given to her and she and dad were the first persons he seen when he woke up. In post opp he had trouble keeping his oxygen levels stable and had to have a couple of breathing tretments.
Shortly after we went to visit him he kept putting his arms in the air and when his mom spoke his name he turned to her and put a hand on each side of her face and pulled her in for several kisses. God how I wish I had had my camera it was beautiful.
Today after work I went to visit and give Mindy a break. You could tell he wasn't feeling too good but he sure wasn't having anything to do with sleeping. We played games, read books, and watched Scooby Do.

Moments to remember
My youngest grandchild was born in June 2.5 years ago. I am lucky enough to get to watch him every Thursday of the school year, and it the highlight of my week.
Last summer Amanda, Keegan, and I were at the Nursery picking out plants when this happened:
Amanda had gone back to pick out some plants and Keegan and I were talking with the sales agent. I glance down and Keegan has his shorts pulled down and he is peeing in the mud puddle. Of course me being me I begin to tell him he can't do this and pulling his clothing up. Totally confused him to the point that it was months before he volunteered to go to the potty again.
Oh yea the sales man was laughing his but off and telling the little man to go pee on the rocks.
Last week his Mommy changed her hair color..(my beautiful blond is now a beautiful Burnett). After she was done we went to lunch and while we were setting in the booth she turned to him and shook her head and asked if he liked it. He stands up and shifts his fingers through her hair and then he said "OK" and he was done.
The Olympics are on and we were watching the kids come down this hugh snow hill with their snow boards doing their flips and spins and he is announcing that he is the one on the hill and he is the one spinning upside down and it is like he really believes it. At one point he launches his elf into the air from the couch just trusting I will catch him.
He never forgets a game we play and may come back weeks later and want to play with the "monster."
He calls me on the phone to tell me he went "poop" in the toilet...to wish me Happy Valentines Day....that he fell and got an cut on his head at grandma Jackies.
He completes my life like no one ever has....Thank you God for this wonderful joyful person.

Time vs Life
Very few things change in my life yet time just keep moving.
Another year is upon us, another birthday around the corner, another chapter awaits.
My grand babies are growing and moving on with their lives, another will be graduating and entering college this fall. My Children prosper and move forward with their lives and find joy with their families. My son will soon embrace (I hope he embraces ) the joy, pain, and bewilderment of his beautiful daughters having "boyfriends." I believe that he is strong enough to be there for them..strong enough to listen with an open heart and mind. I believe if they let her Mindy can be a great resource for them.
I miss the Buchta side and continue to make the effort to stay connected. It is hard when you live in a different city and work all the time.
I have a bucket list of things I want to do..and I don't plan to wait until I am old and feeble..well feeble anyway.
My first order of business is to stay healthy..which leads me to this dance class I am taking.. the gym membership I hardly ever use..the walks I love and haven't been doing. Time to get my priories in order. Enough for today...I plan on doing a lot of blogging this year.

Gosh, it has been a long time since I have been here.....Lets see what have I been up to?
1. took a trip to California to a retreat
2. had my beautiful daughter and her family live with me for 2 wonderful months
3.had them move out and into their new home....thank God it is 10 mins away and not 60.
4. dressed up and went to a Halloween party and ate great food and drank excellent martines and rode around in a limo, checking out costumes.
5. after the party I joined Rick and Mindy downtown and didn't get home until almost 5am this morning. I do love watching them have fun and of course we had to go to breakfast before we could go home.
6. oh, yes, I signed up on that online dating site that several of my friends are on.
7. had to replace not one but two tv's that decided to stop working
