Is it October already????

OMgosh!! Where has the time gone. I haven't even changed the family birthday calendar. I don't think anyone is reading this anymore anyway but I'll try to do better. I have found out that no matter what is going on, life stands still for no one! September was a full month of celebrating. Rick & Sharon and Ed and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversaries, Just can't believe how fast those 40 years have passed by. Our kids are grown, and we've doubled our families with wonderful daughter and son in laws and grandkids. We couldn't wait for our kids to grow up and move out and now we long for them to come home and bring the grandkids. The clean house that once seemed an impossible dream sits quiet and polished begging for little ones to come mess it up! We made it through the rough times and the poor times when we wondered how we were going to make it to the next pay day and how we could make 1 lb of hamburger feed a family of 8. You would never find a family now eating homemade hot dog pizza, or mashed potato pie, heck my kids probably wouldn't even eat it now, but they loved it then. I remember once finding $5.00 and Ed and I were so thrilled we could go to Burger King and have two Wopper meals for five dollars! We didn't have much when the kids were little but they didn't know it. I long for those days, but am greatful for what we have now. One thing I do know is that I don't have to worry about how many more years we have together because I know we will be together for eternity.
