My Journey


I am starting over and trying harder than ever to get the extra weight off so my heart don't have the extra work. I was shocked when I started having problems and found out that I had congestive heart failure and if I don't start eating healthier and doing some exercise I won't be around to see my grandchildren grow up. It is time to get more serious about things.

I am starting over and trying harder than ever to get the extra weight off so my heart don't have the extra work. I was shocked when I started having problems and found out that I had congestive heart failure and if I don't start eating healthier and doing some exercise I won't be around to see my grandchildren grow up. It is time to get more serious about things.

I want to be around for my grandchildren and for my greatgrandchildren.

I am determined to get some of the work load off of my heart. All together I have lost about 70 pounds since first joining SP! I have learned that if I put my food in the tracker that it is easier to stay on track!

This time I am working to just be healthier and drop my blood sugar level, so far it is working! So I am determined to keep it up!

    A Mother's Love

    There are times when only a mother's love
    Can understand our tears,
    Can soothe our disappoints
    And calm all of our fears.

    There are times when only a mother's love
    Can share the joy we feel
    When something we've dreamed about
    Quite suddenly is real.

    There are times when only a mother's faith
    Can help us on life's way
    And inspire in us the confidence
    We need from day to day.

    For a mother's heart and a mother's faith
    And a mother's steadfast love
    Were fashioned by the angels
    And sent from God above.

    Can you remember the prices of the candies Going Back In time. Time in a bottle.

    Jaw breakers? Little black babies and they also had them in pipes. Were they 2 cents each?

    French Fries back then when families had them wrapped in newspaper to take home?

    I had school milk in a bottle. Not sure what Mom paid for it.

    the ear things what were they called? Just ear muffs?

    I am writing a book for my kids to leave when my time comes but I really like to use the terms they had back then. Like I wore those saddle shoes looked like cow hide.


    If you can remember any terms back then. Email me a private email.

    I know we used to call sofa couch back then.

    I was the one that wrote Time in a bottle but now Time in A bottle is still going on.

    tee,,hee

    So I read my posts and you are very close to my memories of things. I think it was you who told me the hand warmer was a Muff. Did we call it a hand warmer. I know my Mom gave me it in white and the hat white in angora. I love to go to church all dressed up in it.

    What was the hat that winter hat that had a string but it also had like a wooden oval stopper that stopped so Mom could slide it up to my neck in the winter and she would not pinch my deck.. Did it have a special name?

    I can remember when she started to draw it closer that wooden oval or round on some hats I had and closer. I would draw back. I never trusted it at early age of three. It looked like a round bead or oval size of a marble..
