Times consistently change yet somehow as we get on with the age process we are brought back in time by thought and by watching patterns in the lives of our loved ones. 
The saying "what comes around goes around"  is oh so true.  As we do unto others,  that will be done unto us it is said.  I truly believe that if we don't do right we are getting a big kick in the keester either here or in our after life. Yes, words may fly a thousand miles and while they do not have wings they are some kind of powerful my friend.  Think about a time when you said something which may have hurt a friend, a parent or a sibling and you just didn't give it a second thought.  Do you think those words you spoke at them were forgotten?  They may have been but I doubt it because cruel intentions leave an everlasting effect and although forgiveness may be had forgetting is another story indeed.

Everything was set beautifully and now I know I can go to the great hereafter and not have to worry that my kids wont know what to do..lol

Karli Godwin



Linda's daughter Karli!

Poor kid had a wicked accident
in her friends truck on New Years night. Thank goodness she
made it through the accident because she had severe lacerations
due to the way the truck landed after flying over guard rails which
knocked the wheels right off the vehicle.

Florida Vacation

 Oh sweet rays of sunshine and light,  I love this state!
This is as close as I can get to a Caribbean vacation folks!
I arrived at midnight on Dec.31st. landed in Orlando. When I got off the monorail and walked toward the lobby of the Hyatt Hotel I saw my friend Linda who had been waiting for my plane to come in. We headed straight to Denny's for hot buttery grits, my favorite southern dish. Believe me there is an art to making good hot buttery grits. Ya know those little Huddle House Restaurants down south? Actually they're grits are even better than Denny's so if you are a grit lover like I am try them. Did I mention Shoney's grits at the breakfast bar? Well there ya go ladies and gents, cousins and orangutans....you could smother ya grits with cheese sauce and or country gravy,  then spoon them down your lil ol gullet.  mmm  mmmm a savory delight :-)~
 So we are having a nice time so far and the weather is warm compared to upstate N.Y.
I do miss my grandchildren however we will be skypeing together therefore reducing the ache of not seeing or holding  da wee ones  *wiping eyes* 

Okay, time for us to hit the highway,  we are going  driving.  Behave will ya!
