• eggs- one of the neatest foods around- there are whole cook books dedicated to eggs- we can eat them any time of the day and we can bake almost anything if we add an egg I like eggs and as kids we had them many times because all farms in our area had chickens-
• E is for everyone who travelled the cancer journey with papa and me- we could not have done it alone and now E is for everyone who is walking with me as a widow- I could not walk alone- you reached out and touched our hearts-
• E is for emails including comments on my blog- these notes are a blessing each day- I am a true email grannie
• E is for echos- which is what grannies do when they repeat themselves- Miss Ashley says that I am echoing again-
• E is easy does it- daddy often told us kids that when it was time to settle down - I don't remember him ever yelling at us--easy does it
• wow- I am not into a lot of E- but my favorite eee word would be ''EATING''- oatmeal raisin cookies - almost a balanced meal

flowers for papa

• spring comes late here or at least nights with no frost
• we generally plant our gardens after May 15
• last year as papa hubby got weaker and
• finally he could only walk out
• on to the balcony
• I wanted to brighten the corner where he was
• but it was too early for bedding plants
• and I did not have time to go anywhere
• to find bedding plants already in flower
• nor could I even bring the planters in at night
• to keep them from freezing
• and I could not leave dear papa alone
• so I could walk to our local stores
• so I decided to do plastic flowers and
• got a ride to our local dollar store and
• Miss Ashley stayed home with papa
• and I bought flowers in many colors
• and Ashley got the scissors and
• we planted the flowers for papa
• he loved them- we had every color of the rainbow
• and we were able to fill our planters
• with joyful plastic flowers
• this was one of our miracles
• that God blessed us with----
• the flowers are still there in the planters
• and we have been blessed
• with colors all winter long
• -I remember the day our doctor cried
• because I wanted to take papa on a trip
• not long, not far but some where
• and the doctor said
• take him to his balcony and
• let him hear the birds sing
• bring the grass to him
• and let him feel the earth one more time
• and then the doctor
• told us how sorry he was not to be
• able to help papa go past our balcony
• thank God for plastic flowers
• and then God sent us two birds
• papa made a lot of birdhouses
• and feeders but for the first
• time a mama bird came and made
• a nest in one of papa's houses
• and we would sit very quiet
• as she bird and he bird
• would sing love songs to each other
• and the grass grew green
• it was wonderful taking
• trips out to the balcony with papa
• it was a wonderful spring
• filled with
• blessings and miracles

lent and me

we never did lent at the churches I attended and it
is still hard for me to understand
I did decide to give up chocolate
but some how this seemed rather a semi choice
as I cannot eat chocolate often due
to my h.hernia and ulcers
so I just did not think this was
really a lent choice that was a gift to the Lord
but last night I was
looking through my books to find
somethiing to ponder on
and I found my book
on 40 days to a more grateful heart
and I knew that was what God wanted from me
so although I will stick with the chocolate
I am going to do this book as it is also
a study book
I will share some things now and then
that the Lord is teaching me
one thing that grief and depression takes from us
is our grateful hearts as we tend
to focus on what we lost rather than what
is happening day to day now
I know longer think of papa hubby as someone I lost
as I know where he is..
yes, I miss him and yes, my grief remains
but now I want to find the joy that
is in my sorrow
I will share as often as I can

Hugs and Blessings,

winning wednesday

• at our local grocery store they have one day a month that they call WINNING WEDNESDAY and I thought what a way to have our Wednesdays
• so this is my winning Wednesday :quite cold and snowy -- but the wind was not to brutal and the sun was shining so that helped to make it a bright and a merry weather day-
• took Miss Ashley to the doctor as she has had the fever and the cough for 3 days and even though she is 18 Meme felt the doctor would know best--
• she has infection in her bronchial tubes and the beginning of bronchitis ( bad spelling) so she has medicine to take- the good news is he gave us a prescription that we could afford- it is an old stand by which has worked for years before they came out with the new meds- our budget is not ready for sick days
• but I am so glad I took her- please pray for her -- the doctor also checked out Meme and I have plursey (bad spelling again) and he put me on the medicine too - he said we share the same house and same germs--
• did the church chores and walked both ways so I had my walk today-- we did not do a lot today as Miss Ashley was feeling so off the chart- have a wonder night and I shall go play nurse good night and God bless you- and hugs from Meme who has a Miss Ashley tale to write soon- I think I should write a book called the ''things that Miss Ashley does and or says--

the last kiss....a joy in sorrow

• I was sitting here remembering our last kiss- papa hubby was very weak and quiet but would move his head slightly when I spoke- I let him rest in the morning as I knew his strength was gone-he was not in pain and his breathing was quiet and he did not have to struggle......he spoke no words except with his hand---we were both weary as I had stayed with him all night and God gave me the desire of my heart to be with him when he left this world...
• God gave David Papa the desires of his heart also
• when he knew that the cancer was terminal and that his miracle would be going home to his Lord = he said that he just wanted to be here and then not be here - just a quiet exit-he was a very quiet man .....and left us at 1:15 in the afternoon with his favorite cooking show on the food channel- after the cancer took his strength and some of his thinking he fell in love with the food channel - he said it was easy for him to watch someone cooking and just one person talking- this is a funny side story to his journey but before he had to go to hospital for his last time he had the tv on for 2 weeks straight and on the cooking channel- he would doze off and wake up and it was a comfort for him- one time the grand kids thought he was sleeping and switched channels- he opened his eyes and told them to put the tv back his Iron Chef- we all laughed as there was not way papa was giving up his cooking--I slept on the couch and learned that I can sleep with the tv on--we were in the same room as I set out living room up as a hospice so he could remain home a long as possible-
• we had the whole morning to ourselves other than the doctor coming in once and a nurse came to at noon help me put drops in his eyes as they were so dry
• I was going to run home and change and come right back so I gave him his kiss and told where I was going-
• he could not move much except for his checks would pucker in when I kissed him- just a tiny pucker but I knew he was kissing me too
• I got ready to leave and then went back to kiss him again but there was no pucker because the angels came while I was putting on my coat
• he had a precious peaceful death and I remember how happy he looked
• he just looked like all the cares of this world have been lifted of his shoulders which of course -is it what happened- Jesus took his burdens
• Miss Ashley told me the other that she does not miss papa all the time now because she knows where he is.......and that she knows that some day she will see her papa again-
• she is glad that we spent the last morning alone but together - she is a brave girl and I know that the Lord is her comfort because her papa meant everything to her- they were special friends --
• I know that God gave us those last hours together just to hold hands and say '' see you later, friend- we never said good-bye because we did not feel his death was an ending----------but a beginning for both us.
• when I see papa hubby again - he will be walking, and talking, and seeing, and hearing, and although there is no marriage in heaven I know that he will be waiting for me at the Eastern gate.
• he knew that he was loved and I knew that I was loved and really that is all anyone needs to know......
• I know where he is........
• sometimes I have good moments now- I see in him in pictures in my mind...but some times it is hard to hear his voice but I can remember the words he said.....
• I can hear him tell me'''that every thing is going to be alright-"" and I am starting to believe that in the grief ''every thing is going to be alright.

I finished the corner.......:-)

I finished dear papa hubby's corner today- dusted and cleaned -sorted and tossed- kept and gave--it is nice to be done- this was his corner and I did not go there.........
it was his little corner of his world- and he kept it as he wanted.....
I think everyone should have a little special part of the home that is just their space -he cleaned out every Christmas day-
but in 2007 he was already in the hospital and had no strength to do it when he came home 51 days later and in 2008 he was gone with the angels-
so it was memories covered in dust
I fixed the top shelf in memory of him and some of his special things - and then his keeper books are the second-
and now I will just use the other shelves for this and that of his and mine-
Miss Ashley says that it looks nice and papa would have approved- this was the hardest area because it was so personal-
as Ashley said'' he has lots of corners in heaven and has no need of a personal space here now-and because he was such a social fellow I sure he is busy singing with the angels -
I feel much better- being all done.......and we (the gal and I) both decided that we will dust it every Christmas day as a memory of tradition-

sharing simple treasures

I am sharing this both blogs tonight because life is really about the little treasures that come to us-
*******************************

because I am in a place where I have to make decisions about the things of papa hubby's I am noticing that it is the simple things he had that I find are treasures- what was his was mine and what was mine was his but we all some things that are just a part who we are--

here is a small list..
1. his small plainer ( hope that is correct spelling) that he used when he was making the diamond willow walking sticks and canes-- it is now a paper weight-( he made the canes and sticks and sold them at the farmer's market)

2. his belt buckle that he bought shortly after accepting Christ as Lord in his life- it says - Praise the Lord

3. he had 2 soup mugs that he used in the last months at home as they were easier for him to use- and he loved chicken noodle soup for breakfast and dinner and supper- he called it his ''special''-

4. a small dog blanket that he bought for Dogman but we used it to put under his arm that had the pic-line in - Dogman had no problem sharing -

His pic- pockets that the chemo nurses gave- they covered the pic-line when it was not being used for chemo and helped keep the ports from poking his arm-

twin hammers- he found these short hammers at the hard-ward and bought one for me and one for him - for just using in the house- a hammer for mama and one for papa too
his little bottle of opal that he kept with water in it and loved to show the colors to his friends-

His special cane that he made for himself - and used so much on his cancer journey-

his special forks- he was ocd about his forks- he just loved to use them and we did have 6 so we were able to keep him fed- they have a shorter handle than a normal fork -

his bent spoons- when ever we had soup( before cancer) he always would bend the spoon so we have a lot of spoons with bends in them as he would bend it back to normal when supper was over- and no - it was that the soup was like cement--LOL-

and his stuffed frog that he kept with at the hospital because when the nurses woud ask him about the frog he could tell them that it stood for ''FULLY RELY ON GOD -sometimes he got the word rely mixed with relax or reach but it was a seed planter no matter what word he used- I have to admit that the frog is ugly but he fit papa's personality....

-- these are some of the things of papa- there of course is so much more and I will share with kids etc but these odds and ends will remain with me-

Missionary grandma

• Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes grandmother
• I am a grandmother raising Miss Ashley
• I had the honor of watching her born
• the hospital room that her mother labored in--
• is the room her dear papa was in - when the angels came
• life and death in a room
• papa hubby recorded her heart beat before her birth
• we found the tape which is now nearly 19 years old
• but we are worried about using it with out getting
• some way to record again at the same time just
• in case the tape breaks- from age-
• Miss Ashley is in love.......engaged to the boy
• who is a friend and will have her wedding day in 2010
• on papa hubby and my anniversary date
• this is such an honor to me and the memory of papa
• papa would be going to the moon with joy
• and he would take me with him-LOL
• she lives with me as that is the way it has to be
• the issues of why are too complex to share
• I am old and tired but I also know that our/mine

PAPA'S NOTE BOOK

• I have started to clean out papa's corner= he had a space by his chair which was a book case but he kept many odds and ends there
• it is growing too many dust bunnies now and it is time clear and clean
• his area and renew the space -
• it was always his space and for some reason he only cleaned it out on
• Christmas day--LOL- because he used the area often, the dust did not have time to grow there..........
• I found one of his notebooks where he had written down all the words that Jesus spoke- he had the verses etc- from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John- he dated the pages as he copied them and it was precious to see how much time he spent copying out the spoken words of Jesus-
• He did not read well so this was an adventure of love for him to do-
• - He now can hear the words spoken by Jesus and so I will tuck his dear note book in the garage for now- I find that some memories I must pack away but I was blessed to night to see this one......note book of love..
• I am going to pack up a lot of his things for now and store them away until I can make practical decisions- I will keep a few things out but I do not think it is good for me to hang on to his things of this world......
• He was a precious gentle-men.

SOMEONE SENT ME THIS POEM TODAY AND I THINK I WILL POST IT HERE TO BLESS EACH OF YOU--

Jesus Is My Everything
He is my Song that I sing
He is the Joy that a new day brings
He is my Strength when I am weak
He is my Voice when I speak
He is my Friend when I need a hug
He is my Lover, when I need real love
He is the Lawyer who pleads my case
He is the only Righteous Judge who forgives me,
then all me sins He erases
He is the Doctor who heals my wounds
He is my Redeemer, and He's coming back soon
He is my Comforter when I'm feeling down
He is my Angel that is ever-present,
always around
He is my Provider always supplying
when I need help
He is my Water, my Bread,
stored up on the shelf
He is my Teacher,
who shows me what to do
He is my Encourager,
when I really don't want to do..
He is that Fire burning deep down in my soul
He is my Fortune-teller,
for in His hands,
my future He holds
He is the Repairman who comes to fix my stuff
He is the Everlasting Father,
who is more than enough
He is the Prince of Peace, yes a Peacemaker is He
He is my Eyes, my Light, my Pathway,
when I can't see
He is my Mighty Counselor when I need some advice
He is my Debt Consolidator,
for He paid the ultimate price
He is my Hope for tomorrow
He is my Everflowing Income,
so I don't have to beg, steal, nor borrow
He is the Mercy
which He renews for me everyday
He is my Truth, my Life, the Only Way
He is the Warden,
who unlocks the chains and sets me free
He is my Role Model,
for I always look up to Thee
He is the Author, the Finisher of my faith
He is the Patience
that always tells me to wait
Jesus is my Everything,
although with my natural eyes,
Him, I cannot see
Jesus is my Everything.

love soup--homemade

• the g' daughter is sick today- so what is a Meme to make for supper
• I know that as a teen she does not eat the things that are really good for
• her unless I do the cooking
• she can cook but she is still heavy of the ''fat foods'' which even on a
• good day can be bad for her
• decided to make some homemade chicken soup but in a quick way as
• my thoughts came too late to do the old fashioned kind
• so here is the story which is a recipe of sorts
• *******************************
• 2 small frozen chicken breasts- partly thawed in microwave- it is easier to cut partly frozen - then I cut into mini bites- and then just soaked for a few minutes in cold water- heat my favorite soup pot and add 1 (only one) tablespoon oil and as soon as the oil was hot - popped the drained chicken pieces in- it is good to drain first because the chicken browns faster and also no splash feed back-as a rule I would have used other chicken parts but this was what we had and today I was looking for near fat free
• mean while I got carrots and celery ready and sliced on the mandolin( I think that is close to the spelling) and the name - makes the slices very thin-
• as soon as the chicken was brown I added the veggies and let then brown just a tiny bit- kind of what Martha Stewart taught me--LOL
• according to Miss Martha this gives the flavors added flavoring bonus ?? to the soup
• then added 4 cups of water and also the chicken flavoring from the chicken noodle soup package_ (not the canned) I saved the noodles for another day as they would be mush while the veggies cooked-
• sliced potatoes and added to the soup and just let simmer until all was done
• no added salt but some pepper
• you can really put anything you choose in the soup once you start the chicken- remember that onions are hard and gassier on a sick tummy
• I could have added other veggies but wanted to stay with something plain and simple today-better for wayward tummies -
• it was great and we both enjoyed the soup and there is leftovers for tomorrow - I may add the noodles tomorrow as I can cook them separate before I reheat the soup-
• -----------
• I made this soup often for papa hubby on his cancer journey as it was easy on his tummy and he loved it- salt was no longer an issue for him - so I made what ever he liked and could tolerate-
• it also remind me of our home cooking on the farm- most of our meals were plain and simple-
• I pray the our younger generations will be able to learn to make meals that are healthy - economical and good- with the recession I see hard times coming for many who just do not know the simple ways to cook-
• I noticed in our grocery store that it is cheaper to buy a whole cooked chicken than a whole frozen chicken- and I hardly ever seen a whole fresh chicken there-
• Meme is off to do the dishes

missing valentine

• today was hard because papa hubby always got me a valentine
• I do have some of them stored away
• I bought a valentine card for him to put with his picture
• it is so quiet here
• and not a thing happening in town other than things that I do
• not go too- or do.........
• the love -birds have gone out-although male love bird is not too
• popular because he forgot that today was valentines and his valentine
• saw red--
• I walked down and bought Miss Ashley some flowers- not real ones
• due to our weather as they would have turned black-
• but she was tickled pink to get my flowers
• they have little faces on them- happy smiles
• and are purple and blue
• Dogman and I am now home alone sneaking snacks
• sigh- but they have to be with no salt as he has a
• kidney stone problem and very few can fall to the ground
• it is not easy to sneak snacks with out his ears perking up
• it reminded of papa and I -
• some times we would eat our snacks behind closed doors
• as our hearts hated to say ''no''
• I am sure that there are times when it hurts
• God to say ''no'' but he knows that it is a better answer
• I know that He took papa hubby home because
• it was the better answer
• but I just don't feel the answer yet

Meme's Mind Day...........

I share the note below because I need to be fair with you and honest
that I am broken...........and now that I know that - I did not notice before perhaps
because I was trying not to be.....-- I am taking some
steps to recovery of my mind and heart and soul-
as a Christian- I felt it was wrong to be broken and
because of that I have been in hiding. my hurting spirit........it is not just the grief of losing papa hubby but also losing so
many of the family members who have on their own have decided to not allow me to stay in
their life due to my/our christian walk- this is not a new thing as that was how it was before the cancer, but when papa was on his cancer journey
they did all return to him - which was a blessing and I thought they would stay.........after his death=
thankfully at papa's sevice he had a salvation message at his request and the pastor did tell them that he was preaching a prayer of papa's-- John 3:16
I guess you could call this a forward to my note- hugs Meme
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I went out today for coffee with some lady friendsand then stopped at the seniors day at my church-it was nice and I did okI did become exhausted after 3 hours total in being out and did feel panic at the end of the time -this was a good thing for me - it did help me and my mindI came home and finally had to have a napI napped for a hour and now I am upmy am feeling rather sad but I am still glad I went out-it is very hard for me to go out with out either taking papa hubby or coming home to him- I need to do this more and I will try too as I am very lonely...so one small step for Meme
******************************************************************

it is all about '' D''...........

• it is time to talk about the letter ''d ''in my life...
• of course- my first D would be for David - the number one D in my life-
• as you know so much of my David Dee I won't repeat it in this blog note
• because I feel like you already know him :-)
• another D is Dogman - the dog who came to our house to say- he is 12 plus years now and still manage the household quite well--
• D is for my two daughters - 40 and 36 who live close by and have blessed me with 6 grand kids- the daughter names are Bonita and Tammy
• D would have to be for doughnuts which is one of my favorite meals- oops- I mean snacks---all the better if they are chocolate coated--but no sprinkles
• not sure if there are any ''dee'' fruits but if there is I do not eat them but I can still use ''d'' for dinner- when I grew up dinner was at noon and then our evening meal was supper- there are some folks who have lunch at noon and then dinner at supper time- I still have dinner at noon..
• ''d''is for dime- when I was a kid we had dime savors from the back where we would save all the dimes we managed to beg off our grandpa or daddy-when had 5 dollars we took to the back and could our own savings account
• oh and I remember the dixie cups that had ice cream in them- in the summer we could go to town with mom and dad and a dime would buy a dixie cup- we would sit on the side walk out side the little grocery store and eat - those were the days...
• I cannot think anymore ''d'' in my life except to the ''days of my life that the Lord has blessed me with''
• day by day He is the shepherd......

WALKING TODAY with CONCERN

• I am feeling better re cold which also helps me feel better emotionally
• I spoke on msn to David's eldest daughter- age 48- for the first time since papa's service- we are not estranged but she has severe addiction problems which keeps her away- sigh- she started to cry and had to leave THE Computer but her youngest daughter talked to me- I told her/them how much papa did love them - she does not have access to the msn often but was using it at some one's house
• I thought that was important for them to have that message in their hearts so that if the addictions get too strong she/they have some thing to cling too- I would not want them to die with out that knowledge and I do fear for their lives - sigh-
• all of the step children have severe addictions and when they are on..........they do not talk to me until they decide to try and go off.........again but this is very hard for them unless they have rehab.......
• I have told them all that they cannot come here until their addictions are under control 100% because when they are not under control these kids can be dangerous and this was also papa's rule-
• they are all older- 50- 48 and 46
• they do get angry at me part of the time because I will not take them in......
• they live far enough away that they cannot just come over--.
• it is so hard to have children - no matter what age living in such circumstances and the circumstances are terrible- the grand kids are in safe homes so do not live in the conditions but I fear that they saw too much as little ones..
• I wanted to them to know that papa David prayed often for them and he loved unconditionally even if he had rules that he enforced-
• I think it is important for children to know that they are loved and were loved-- they did not see their dad often due to the circumstances but they did communicate over the phone- and sometimes we had the police go find them on the streets so we knew if they were still alive- the police cannot tell where they are but were/are kind enough to say that they saw them and therefore there alive- sigh- this was hard for papa to do ---
• my problem is at my age I have to be careful how far I let them enter my life due to the circumstances- and yet, keep the love of Jesus open in my heart and into their heart-
• it is hard to even tell the stories but I tell you now because I need prayer warriors who will stand with me -
• I will seldom update this blog note but I will tell you what miracles occur and also thank for praying

the missing piece

• today was a day with out a song in my heart
• I so miss papa hubby
• I am never sure why some days I have joy
• and other days I don't even know what to say
• he is gone, vanished and yet I need him here
• I accept and I know and I feel the loss
• and the pain creeps back in.....
• and I want to ask why?
• but I don't ..........
• because there is no reason to the why....
• that would fill this hole in my heart
• so instead I ask .........that
• my heart will not become bitter.
• that my days will filled with...
• purpose.....
• that my strugglings will
• become sweeter--

my day is done--

• my head cold sent me to bed for most of the day and now my nose matches Rudolf-s nose- so I will share my blessings here and go back to bed where I am eating crackers--------

1. my red gloves that I use in bed at night after putting on a good hand lotion- I leave them on for about 20 minutes and I find that this is ''a good thing'' for my hands-- they are just normal dollar store gloves- sometimes I do my feet this way too and just use ordinary socks......
2. my Lord and Savior who is leading me through the storms followed with rainbows... in my life
3. my tea thermos- which keeps my tea hot while I do my computer- other wise I would drink the tea cold-I keep this off my desk but handy so that I do not have laptop tea...
4. a new month- February which has a nice day in the middle to remind us of loving each other- we know, enough from God's word to do this every day and it is nice to have a special day to share chocolates -
5. warmer weather here today- we were warmer here than Florida which is a real treat- funny how we consider a few degrees above freezing warm and another place considers that same few degrees cold...
6. Dogman - our dog- who does not report me for neglect when we/I forget to feed him ( I did forget until this afternoon but he was quick to forgive me)- and he is always willing to wait patiently to have his carrots peeled..
7. crackers to eat in my bed and the dust buster which then cleans the crumbs off the bed ------
8. my old house which has been a blessing to papa and I as we shared our life together as one- the roof does not leak - the walls protect us and it is a home filled with peace and joy and Miss Ashley's stuff mixed in with Oma's stuff-----
9. Miss Ashley who carries a burden to heavy for her age but is still willing to carry it...... for the sake of Oma
10. good cleaners to clean the pans that Miss Ashley burns when she cooks and a fan to recycle the smoke--LOL

good night to all- from Meme with gentle hugs

and under the ''c''......

it is time to turn over another letter .......
and here is the ''c''....
the first 'c' for me is CHRIST CHILD- -- where would I be today if we/I had no Christ to believe in.......to lean on.....to follow.......to love.......to forgive us/me........ with out Christ in my life I would BE helpless....lost.....and hopeless but because of Christ I have hope and help and I am found...
another 'c' at our house is carrots-- not so much for me as for Dogman- he seems to think carrots are bought entirely for him - and yes, I wash them and peel them and cut them into nice little bites- he prefers raw over cooked but will gladly eat both-- so carrots are on the menu more nights than not..
a ''c'' for today is a cold as in a head cold - which means I talk funny and my nose is red and I should have took some stock in kleenex companies- this is day three so I should only have 4 days to go- I learned that if you go to a doctor with a cold it will last 7 days and if you do not go to a doctor- the cold will last a week.............
''c'' is for cinnamon which is one of my favorite smells and spices- I chew cinnamon gum and eat cinnamon candies and like cinnamon toast but I do not like cinnamon in my coffee and or tea
''c'' could be for coffee if I could drink it but I have a allergy to the ground coffee which is not good thing......so that is why I drink tea......
''c'' is for chocolate - except for hot chocolate- I love chocolate chocolate but lately chocolate does not love me- apparently it is not quite as good as it should be to me - it is not good to my inflamed stomach or h. hernia- sigh- which means I am off of chocolate for a time....
''c'' could be for comma or commas but I never remember to use them in writing or talking.......so I will have to omit ''c'' is for comma ...........
there are many more ''c'' blessings in my life but I think the cold has put my thinking on hold..
soon to be back and sending caring hugs, Meme
