I have been away awhile. First my Uncle Marvin died. I had been spending the weekends with my aunt at least three since he died. Darlene didn't like being alone, so I was one of several who would spend nights with her. her nephews, grandson, and brothers and me.
everyone had a different evening.
Then an elderly couple I knew ever since I was a baby, recently died within two weeks of each other. Carol first which was a shock to us because Floyd was the one we worried over more. But she had cancer, and it came out of remission. then this last tuesday (nov 4) Floyd died. Irony was he died on the same date he was born 91 years ago.
they had two daughters, Tressa and Debbie. I worry more over Tressa, she is the sensitive one and I always liked her. when my sister Andra and I were little girls she made us two purses with pink and yellow crochet that could aslo be tiny bassinets for the two tiny baby dolls that were inside with pink blankies and pillows. I still have mine. over the years the made us various toys, furniture for our barbies and small furniture for us to use when we were little. little tables and chairs, wooden arm chairs covered in material that also were rockers. we had neat toys and we could use our imaginations. our dad even made us neat cubby hole shelves in our attic bedroom that could be dollhouses or "kitchens" when we played restaurant, So these people contributed to a lot of my child hood memories that were happy.
I will miss Floyd because he was like a surogate grandfather , Because I only had one.
I faintly remember Andra and myself drawing pictures for our favorite people and giving them to them. or they would listen patiently when we would jabber away about our cat or something we were excited to share with them. Whatever it was they were always there. And Floyd was one of the brothers who went over the questions for baptism with me.
First was Carl, then was Raplh and last was Floyd. At least I have happy memories until I can see them again, and my Uncle Marvin and my cousin Kevin (who was more like a brother to me) , My Grandmother Agnes and My Grandfather Earl Routledge both of whom I miss more than anything else.
But there is other news that is happier right now, Mysister Courtney was up this weekend with the boys(YEAH) and she told us her husband Corey is supposed to move to texas to live with his brother jason.
and she wants to move back here when school lets out for the boys in the spring. Mom and Dad are happy to hear that I can tell you. I hope it happens I miss her and the boys, I have missed her for the past nine years actually. Just yesterday she told me and mom a lot of what had gone on in her life with Corey, and let me just say I am hard put to NOT beat him to a pulp. that is the least of what he deserves.
a friend had told her if she had given the call at anytime Corey would have just disappeared and she would be free, the only thing that held her back from giving that call was she didn't want her friend to be put in that position and she didn't want his blood on her conscience.
But at any rate everything is going to be better now, mom and dad took her back to Tulsa and the boys are doing well, Sidney has lost weight and is getting taller. He is less agitated now, I am glad for that. Coby is learning to be calmer and trying to be good. he still has problems with impulse control tho' I had gotten them each a new lego like figure Hulk and spider man, what does coby do? he takes something and whacks off Hulks head, now I have to glue it back on. oh well. Well I better go and finish cleaning so I can mop and then go get more gas in my car before the price goes up.
Hope everywan has had a good weekend, Love ya
