Blog Detox!!

What an upsetting day, trying to post comments- the site must be gettting too big - what will we do if it shuts down- How do we detox?
Mikki's post was food for thought- I've had many signs of Chris and feel his presence and love daily- As we were leaving the hospital the night Austin was born, there was a phenomenal light show- with every step we took, a street light would go out continuously until we reached our car in the parking lot- There were five of them. all going off in sequence, making a popping noise - the kind of thing you can't describe, you have to experience, but most of the "signs" are meant for the receiver- and people do tend to think you're going crazy- but I'm beyond caring what anyone else thinks-
And Dad's homestead- how emotional that must be- We kind of missed out on that big family closeness feeling, aunts, uncles, cousins- moving around so much- I always envied kids who had grandmothers and grandfathers in their lives- that's why I feel so blessed to have this opportunity of being a "hands on grandmother', and hopefully, someday I may be a part of Michael's kids lives too----SOON!!!!

Do you like the picture, again of me, not swimming at the Y with Austin and Frank? There are several good reasons- About fifteen years ago, we went on a family swim with Philip and Jennah - now this is not my favourite activity and it took a great deal of coaxing and urging for me to appear in public in a bathing suit- As I tiptoed out to the pool area, at the other end of the 60 ft. long pool, there was Tanya Cann, a student of mine, a very loud little girl, She screamed out at the top of her lungs when she saw me, "MRS. AMON, YOU LOOK BETTER IN CLOTHES!!! Those searing words still ring in my ears, and apply even more today! Needless to say, I entered the water faster than my usual inch by inch descent--- to this day, I do not own a bathing suit!!!
Talk about peer pressure- I even tuned into the hockey game last night- sorry to mention that!!!!
