This.....

May they rest in peace. 

 They gave their all.

Yesterday, what a day....

My granddaughter and her ex-husband were to meet at their home for Britt to retrieve her belongings. It didn't go as planned. For example, Ex wasn't there. Oh, he had been earlier and put what he believed to be hers in the driveway. Okay?

His brother-in-law was there to 'keep' Britt from going into her home. He had turned into someone she didn't even recognize. When Britt told him she had every right to go into the home, he became belligerent and slapped a hand against a window. 

So, as it was, the material objects that 'ex' decided she could have were loaded into a U-Haul and brought here to be placed into the garage. Missing were the rest of Britt's clothes, some of Hunter's clothes. Also, the kitchen utensils, dinnerware, pots pans etc. Nope, she didn't get to bring anything of that nature here. Y'all it was a 'court order' that she could go into 'her' house to retrieve what was hers. Hindsight being 20-20, she should have had a police officer there to watch over the situation. Britt still believing Matthew to be a kind and honest person, she didn't do that.

To back up a bit - yes, the house was passed onto to Matt from his grandmother. Okay? However, according to FL law the home, since he was married to my granddaughter at that time, the house was 'theirs'. Even if he tried to remain the full owner, back a few years ago he wanted to get a loan to pay the boat off and a few other things. Do you think he was able to get a 'home loan' without her signature? Nope, she had to sign the loan. Why? Because she was 'half' owner of the house. If that doesn't ring a bell, I don't know what would.

Needless to say, yesterday was confusing, sad and off the chart. The court order stated that Britt and Matt were to be at the house to discuss what was hers, what was his. She came back here so upset, I cried for her. :(

Only time will tell the outcome when they go for a court hearing in August. Britt's attorney has tried to explain to her that eventually all will be well, and those negatives will turn into positives. And to top it all off Matt will have to pay Britt's attorney fees which have now been over $ll,000 that Britt has paid.

I'll let you know. In the meantime, the kids will be going back to their dad this afternoon. I always hate to see them leave. 

I hope all is well with you, my friends.

A good day for a good day....

Hey all. Just want you to know I'm very excited today! Just made my LAST car payment which has been a long time coming. Joyous feeling, I can tell you. :)

Also, I received a beautiful card in the mail today from one of my favorite blog friends. 

A wonderful day!

Here's Dallas saying hello!

:)

4 months already!

A long ago memory...

A long ago memory, why does time go back so fast

 August 1999

It wasn't like primitive camping, there was a cabin.

Very small, kitchen living combo

1 bedroom, 2 beds, bath

Bunk beds in living area.

We were in a state park near Keystone Heights

Goldhead Branch for a week

Who was there?

Mama, her niece and nephew

Herman

Wylodine

Me

I had said to Mom "let's just take food for

hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwich stuff

"Oh no" she said. She was going to cook.

By that time in '99, she was in a wheelchair,

but by gosh, she loved to cook and she did.

Every night wonderful 'country style' food

After dinner, we played cards

Poker "what, I didn't know how"?

I soon learned and skunked them

Maybe I was born to be a card shark

During the day, Uncle Herman fished

Mama and Wylo talked AND talked

and I made trips to Orange Park as my

daughter was in the hospital

(The beginning for her with several

operations ahead)

We had fun, though and I loved being there

with family. It would be the last time that

the four of us were together. Mom passed

the following June. Now, they're all in Heaven

I miss them tremendously

And, guess who got to sleep in the top bunk

Yep!

Love knows no bounds...

 Another day in the life. It's cloudy and looks like rain which gives me an excuse not to work outside. :)

Things here are about the same. Still have the 'free loader' but I've got to stop thinking in that way. After all he's my granddaughter's husband now. I have to say he worked on finishing up the 'pruning' I was doing of the bushes behind the house. So glad to get that done. I also did some raking which is good exercise for me since I've become a slug.

I've kind of stopped staying in my room as much as I did. Hard feelings are 'hard' but one must try and I am.  I also bit the bullet and went back to the food bank. Unfortunately, it had not been a month yet since I was there. However, I came home with frozen chicken breasts and hamburger along with a few other things. The people who work there are so very nice and yes it humiliates me to go. I've never been in this position before, but it is what is.  Money will only go so far as you have probably noticed. My daughter is still waiting for disability and her late husband's SS. When, if, she gets it that will take a huge 'give back' to my account. Whew, didn't mean to say all that but I really don't talk to anyone about the goings on here except my sis-in-law once in a while.

Meantime, little Dallas is growing like a weed. For a child who was underweight in the beginning, she's doing really well. She's a daddy's girl and I keep telling him to let her be once in a while. Seems like every time I pass their room, I can see him holding her. :)

My daughter and grandson, Ben.

He would have been 32 on the 30th of this month.

To say we miss him is an understatement.

Here with his sister, my granddaughter Britt. They had so much fun together. 

My love for all knows no bounds.

You know, Ben passing away at l7 has been horrific for all of us but none more so than my daughter.  I hardly recognize her now. Having so many health problems on top of losing her son, she's not the same and only weighs l02 lbs. It saddens me, but I have no idea how to help except what I am doing. I pray that God keeps me here to see her get better and Britt getting through the settlement from the divorce. What a wonderful time that will be. She'll be able to  once again have a home.
