I am finally getting back. Everything on my computer was lost and I am trying to remember and rebuild my system. This is going to take a while.

Things here are good. We are going to visit Miss Terri for Skyler's 2nd birthday. I just hope she doesn't have a million people there. She does that and then no one can enjoy anything. I think I will call her and find out...Good thinging.

Got to be off for now,
Maybe more later,

MY COMPUTER IS IN THE HOSPITAL!!! MY LOVING HUSBAND TRIED TO FIX IT. He did, he killed it!!!

So I am borrowing Branden's right now...

I think it is going to be a LONG weekend...

Love to all,
Granny

We popped in on Miss Terri after the memorial for Chuck's baby sister yesterday. The 2 little guys were off the wall with excitement. It was wild.

She has an appointment at the school district for a job interview tomorrow. Every one keep you fingers crossed. She needs to get out of fast food.

Our visit ended an rather a different note. Anthony now 6 threw a ball and smacked Grandpa right in the side of the head. It surprised him and just about knocked his glasses off. Terri smacked Anthony in the head, and Branden and Billy went off. They told her off something awful!! They were right, you do not hit a child in the head for any reason!!! I didn't even try to slow them down. She looked at me and said, "I just cuffed him, and not hard." I told her there was never a reason to hit a child in the head. But she had also screamed at him and realy hurt his feelings. That can be worse. We all went into his bedroom one at a time and talked to him. He was not coming out. She did a good job that time.

It took a while during the drive home for the boys to calm down and stop talking about it. Of course they both took it right back to when they were young.

So ended yesterday. We didn't make it back home until almost midnight. It was a long hard day for us all.

That is it for today, Love from sunny Washington.

I have the need to tell the world that Branden is doing great. He did kinda be stupid the first day at his High School, he took cigarettes and a lighter to school. Going to be Mr. Joe Cool. BUSTED!!!! Now he has tobacco classes to attend... And he had to tell his PO!! Not my fault, I am against kids or anyone for that fact smoking. But, without that little fault, he is doing great being home.

Having him back made the house much busier than before. You see Branden has ADHD and is like a buzz bomb all the time. I had kinda forgotten about that. This old body will survive tho....

We still are not allowed to worship as a family at our church, but we have found another that does believe in Christian forgiveness and we are going there. Again, we will survive. We now have a new church and church family who have welcomed us with open arms.

So there now I am current. I noticed that I hadn't posted for a bit so thought I better so I didn't get yelled at...

Love and thanks to all for your support. Don't go away, I will still need you.

Love from sunny Washington. (At least right now.)

I am so very angry!!! In Seattle a 3 year old boy was found wandering the streets alone. It seems he was left in a car alone while his dear mother was clubbing. From the news reports the only door that was unlocked was the drivers door. That means that toddler got out of the car in the street.

This all happened in an area called Pioneer Square. It is downtown and busy. Thankfully a man saw the child and took him to security at a club and they called police. The child was place in protective custody. Well, now in the news today...... The child is being returned to his mother!!!

Why doesn't this surprise me??? Just maybe it was because 14 years ago I tried to get help from CPS for the boys. I have come to the conclusion that they are completely worthless!!! Unless there is blood, broke bones or death, they do nothing. Why should they change in 14 years?? Just because of all the foster children being returned to natural parents and murdered?? Or because of the children being neglected and abused everyday that are too young to testify?? And so on. I am so sorry that young children are not viable witnesses, but they are getting hurt and ignored.

When will this world learn to cherish and love the children. They are so precious and innocent. When are adults going to realize that children are helpless and they need to care for them.

OK, I'll stop. I had to scream for the children once again...
