My photo
This is more of a photo scrapbook and a place to write (and vent) my thoughts and feelings and brag about my grandkids.. I am a 60 something wife, mom & grandma. I've been married to my best friend Walt since 1977. The most important thing in my life is family. We have been blessed with some great kids, our daughter Kayci, son Cody, our awesome grandson Jesse, our precious granddaughters Cassandra and Chelsea and our newest grandson John. We are currently raising our grandson Jesse and dealing with things such as Autism & ADHD. We have lived in northern Arizona for most of the last 35 years and love it here. We've had our ups & downs ~ but life is good... I'll add a little here - my sweetheart and best friend Walt passed away unexpectedly January 8, 2014. He will be missed by many.

Just some random thoughts..
J and I are doing ok, just still trying to figure out what to do, where to live.. I feel bad that I didn't take him on a vacation this summer but we did get up to the cabin a few times.  It's relaxing for both of us. We had wanted to go up and see Cody & Laurie during Fall Break but I don't see that happening either... I want to see them so much, and my little Chelsea, but the timing is bad and I'm afraid to spend the money.
I've been selling off things a little at a time and putting the $ in an account to save for Walt's headstone. Who knew they were so darn expensive... I feel bad that I don't have one up yet, but I'm getting there. I could ask his family for help - but I don't want to go there - it's not something I feel comfortable doing. 
 Anyway, no decisions made on anything yet. I don't know if I'm just wishy-washy or afraid I'll make huge mistakes. Walt and I always made decisions together and I miss his input. I'm so stressed not knowing if I'm making the right choices on anything right now. I know we need to get out of this place - and it's not just the memories...  This depression has hit me hard. If I didn't have J here to keep me focused on things I don't know if I would even get up in the morning, or do anything for that matter, fix meals, clean the house, go anywhere. I put a happy face on but I don't think I'm really fooling anyone. I have a friend, Irene who lost her husband about the same time Walt passed away. We talk, but I think we bring each other down more than we build each other up.  Sorry about the whining, I just had to vent..  again. It's not like anyone reads my posts anyway, but sometimes it helps to write my feelings down.
