Easter Weekend

Well it is Saturday morning very early here in Michigan. In fact it is 5:46AM. I am up and have managed to pad into my office with a cup of decaff coffee and sit here and read blogs I have to check out for friends and family and was inspired to write a little myself. I must be honest here all I have done really is scan them very briefly.

Yesterday was Black Friday and tomorrow morning is Easter Sunday. I am planning a small dinner for three or was... lol. My son Joey may have two friends showing up and I won't know if they are actually coming here until they do. But that is okay as my children know all is welcomed at my table.

I will call my other two sons Rich and Tim today and speak with them and their wives and children too. I am so looking forward to talking to them all. I do it almost daily but my children are my loves. My daughter Sarah is here visiting with me for the weekend also and I miss her so much when she is not here as she lives in Grand Rapids.

Which by the way leads me to tell you all that I am moving there, to Grand Rapids soon. It is time to go home. That is always where I think of home as being. I love that city and I think the business will do better there. It is time for Joey bless his heart to have his home to himself again and not have a mom to worry over. But knowing Joey he will worry over me anyway.

Sarah and I plan to get a place together for the time being. We want to live together for a bit. That will again change in time as all things do, but what fun for now! She is my youngest child and an aspiring writer. You can see her blog at http://www.janeridgewood.net.

It's funny... when I re-read what I write I always seem to make us sound like we are up-there-snooty-people, but we are not lol. We are very real, very down to earth, and very much like everyone else who struggles for a living and to make ourselves better people when we can. I guess I just feel blessed with my family and I do thank God often for them and for my blessings because of them.

Hmmmm, yes I said God. I guess I am having a spiritual moment, but it is after all Easter weekend. Imagine giving of one of your own children like God did to save humans who for the most part don't give a rip or believe... I don't know if I personally could do that. Oh some of us have unwilling had to let our sons and daughters serve our countries and die for them... A very hard and very awful thing to have to do. But imagine giving, doing it willingly. All I can do when I really think of it is say thank you and I love you to our maker.

Okay I am done being so deep this early in the morning with a first cup of coffee. And some day if my business takes off or my daughter becomes a noted writer I will have a publicist who says "Oh no you can't talk about God or politics... we must erase this from your blog!" LOL.

On the up and not so religious side of things this weekend, my daughter is into horror movies and loves Robert Englund his movies. So we have already watched Incubus and will be watching another horror film of his later today. I must have a pillow with me to hug and I am a screamer during horror flicks, which is why my children love to watch horror with me.  I even scream during the movie Happy Feet... You know the part where the shark leaps up onto the ice ready to bite the penguins? Well I watch that film with my grandsons David, Drake, and Evan an they will say to me "Okay G-ma here it comes now don't scream okay?" And I will assure them all is fine and I won't yell. But coarse I do as they would be so disappointed if I didn't lol. But the really funny thing is that darn part still startles me and the yell isn't totally fake lol. But all three little boys go into fits of giggle because g-ma screamed again.

Well all off I go to start my day... I have a store run to do as I didn't get everything needed for tomorrow yet... So I am a day short and a dollar behind lol.

Happy Easter All
