Happy Halloween 2008

My baby as Princess Leia.

The whole body look and is she not cute.

There she is my Princess with her tiara.

She really wanted to get going. I do hope she had a Happy Halloween.

This is my second daughter in a costume she designed and made all by herself.

This is her boyfriend in a costume she also designed and made all by herself.

The 2 of them together.

Michael's big boy in his tiara.

My baby as Little Red Riding Hood.

This year I was all by myself while my oldest granddaughter went off with her friends and my youngest went with her mom and dad. So I did not see her after she went and do not know how much candy she got. Linky went with Carla for the week-end and I will probably not see her until Tuesday as she has a 4 day week-end. I really do not mind being alone anymore and I guess I need to get used to it. So to all my family and friends Happy Halloween.

Off the bridge near Ireland. The colors were just beautiful and so was the reflection in the water.

I took some pictures of the beautiful colors at Busch Gardens yesterday. I love when the leaves change and I hope you like my photos.

We had a great last day at the park. We rode no roller coasters as they all had 2 hour lines and we are not about lines. This is why we have season passes. It will not be until next March that we get another chance at the roller coasters. I myself love the walking around the park and eating food. So until next year good bye B. G. we had a great year.

Gone to Soon

When we are children we never think about how long our parents will live as we think they will live forever. But the reality is we never know when the time will come that our parents will no longer be there. It is amazing to me how when they are alive we think they will always be and forget to call them like we should or put off calling back because you think you have time. But, unfortunately 2 years ago my time ran out. I try to tell people please call the ones you love and tell them so that if anything were to happen they would know you loved them. I have always regretted that I did not spend a lot of time with my mom and boy did I hear about it from her and now I see it with my own kids they have there own lives and no time for me.
It has only been 2 years but I miss you terribly mom. I know the hurt will never go away and I guess that is a good thing. I love you and I know I will see you again someday.

Well today we finally made it up to BG to see Jack. Of course I did not go see any of the scary stuff. I stayed with the baby and the last thing we did before we left was to go see Jack in Ireland. The girls and I rode Apollo's after dark which is the best time to ride it. We rode Apollos when we first got there and also got to ride Griffon. So for me it was a good day at the park. The only sad part was that Michael was not with us.
We did not leave for the park until one so that I could say good nite to my honey. He goes to sleep at 1 our time which is 8 his time. I told everyone we had to leave the park at 9 so we would be home for me to talk to him before he went to work. It is so crazy that he is awake when I am asleep and he is asleep while while I am awake. So I look forward to my 2 times a day I get to talk to him.
