Excuse me I do have a question?

Do you know what this means?

"Fire the cheese on the black?"

I know and I want to see if you know.  Ask around and let me know.  I will let you know tomorrow!

More Voices in My Head.......

Hello, I can't believe I didn't remember this one............

"It's not nice to lie you know!"
Those are the words of my Dad;
he passed away almost 21 years ago.

I can still hear his voice in my head and remember the expression on his face when he said them!

Voices in my head..............

There are just some things that are said.............that when they are said, by whom they are said become forever etched in my mind.  When I hear the word or phrase again all I see and hear in my mind is the person who said it.  They are phrases and words that take on a life of their own.  Case in point.

"Excuse me I have a question?"
That phrase belongs to DL2
She was asking for driving directions......so polite that girl!
or
"Calm your bad self!"
That phrase belongs to D2
She said this to my boss, college student that she was;
she knew how to make a lasting impression!

I love words and the people behind them!

788

Another number title.  This time 788.  What's up with that?  Well 788 could mean a lot of things.  But today it simply means the number of miles between me and D1.  Today 788 miles is 787 miles too many.  On days like this my heart aches when I think of all those 788 miles.

37

Thirty-seven years ago today Mr. Man and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.  What a ride it has been. We have had our ups and our downs.  But thankfully more ups. We have laughed together and we have cried together; we have grown together as one.  Thirty-seven years ago our love for each other was just a sprout today it has grown into a garden.

This anniversary of ours, this 37 years of marriage, is made even more amazing to me because a few years back I wondered if the number of years we had been married would ever equal the number of years collectively our children had been married.  I don't know why I think of these things, but I do. Well this is the magic year; this is the one and a million mathematical equation; never to happen again. So........courtesy of my countess ways here it is:

D1 and husband will celebrate 14 years of marriage this year;
S1 and wife celebrated 10 years of marriage this year;
D2 and husband celebrated 8 years of marriage this year; and
S2 and wife will celebrate 5 years of marriage this year.

Now add up all their years of marriage and you get 37 years of marriage. So collectively they have been married as long as we have.........how crazy is that!

Today one word comes to mind:
BLESSED!
