Remember our Freedom.

This morning I went to the parade in our town. It is one of the duties I feel I have to do.It gives me chills on my spine to hear the names of the ones that got killed in the war.But I did remember them and personal thank them.

Why,why,why?

Watching 60 minutes tonight the question came to me WHY. The program was all about our Soldiers and War.I sat there crying with all the memories I have. The feeling of fear, I understand. The show of bodies all around you, I understand. The suffering I understand. Never, never will that leave me. Life is so hard to understand, special the Soldiers that where in combat. I have been there and I have seen them fighting and will never forget.I was 19 years old and it still hurts.Those men did there job, but they did not know what killing means until they where there. It did harm to there minds and people do not understand, unless you been there. I cry for them tonight. I will cry for them tomorrow ,but also thank them for giving me the freedom.

My new help around the house.

I have now a Golf Cart around the house to help me. I wonder who will have more fun with it. Jim was so kind to me to get it today and I hope it will help me a lot. My favorite No. 27.

I needed three pair of eye's tonight

I went to Lucy's T Ball tonight and needed more eye's with the three little ones. Lucy was the main reason but then Freddy and Henry where so cute that I kept on looking all over. A beautiful evening in the ball park.

My Little Angles.

I open my computer and there are my little Angles. I often wonder what it would look without me and if they where in the clouds. One day a light went up and I thought this is Kristy's specialty. So I send her a e mail and ask if that could be done. Well here is the results.

More work for Grandma.

Kim had the smart idea to make Grandma working. She beliefs in that. She is making more paths then ever for the dog and the Golf Cart.

My Friends.

More love then you realize, they are the best.

Where do the years go.

Mothers day has come and gone.I remember so many of them. My own Mother. I am the only girl of five children. In the Netherlands they started with Mother day when I was young, but not many celebrated it. But being a girl I did go to the fields and got my Mother flowers. Then after the war and I was working I would stop after work and get a nice plant or so.My Mother realy loved it.Later when I lived in the United States she told me how she missed it. In those early years here we did not have the money to send her flowers. Later I made up for it.I still have a pot with some flowers that I took home after she died.Also a dish with Love you Mom.. I have it on my table now to remember her.Then my children remembered me every Mothers day. My husband made sure. I still see him going with the girls to the store and get some little trinket or so. Coming up is Fathers day, the same as Mothers day girls always remember. It is hard for me to those days, amd I know also for my girls. But one thing I do know it is how you treat your family is more importend then the gifts. You have that always to remember.

Kim and Woody.

Kim is the animal lover in the family.I got a sneak picture of her and Woody.

A new beginning.

Watch a T Ball game or a backyard Rolly Coaster,to see the little ones make their choices of fun and laughter is a joy to see.

95 the

My dear friend Helen's 95 Birthday.

Freddy.

Freddy spent a whole day by Oma and Grandpa. I was invited to share the joy.

The last class.

Last night was the last class about the Civil War. I learned so much.One thing I was very interested in was how they got the soldiers the join by saying that Jesus wanted them to go to war. Trough religion they got them to commit. This was in every group of religion. I asked the question why there was still that hate between them, while they believed in the same God. The professor said I am with you.The Republicans where the religion group. Is it not the same now? History repeats it self. My question is the same as before the lecture. Why is there so much hate from one group to the other!
