WARNING! be careful, be very very careful. You don't know what kind of a day someone else is having. As I was leaving the Bloomington Wal-Mart parking lot a man pulled out of the stall as I was going up the isle, I tooted my horn to make him aware I was driving through and to STOP him from hitting my car, I swerved around him and then the verbal obscenities began, I don't think I have ever heard such horrible language my ears were ringing I just drove on and he pulled up behind me inches from my bumper...I pulled away and could still hear him screaming at me, SCREAMING, he was out of control and insane, the third try to pull away only brought him inches again from my bumper, I was shaking! he was too close for me to get a good look at his license plate or a look at his face through my rear view mirror, so I grabbed my phone and shouted through my 6 inches of opened window shaking my phone that I was calling the police and he better back off! Still SCREAMING at me he decided to race through the parking lot and down another street so that I could not get his license. I didn't want to follow, that would have been a really stupid thing to do. I think he was having a very bad day! I was still shaking when I got back to my office, but I have having a really good day knowing I was not accosted or shot in the WalMart parking lot! Today is a good day for being alive....Thank You LORD! I just hope he doesn't go home and take it out on an innocent.

Still hanging in there!

I am so embarressed! Another year and thank goodness I am still here but haven't updated or posted anything. I am still sitting at the same desk doing the same thing! Waiting for the time to pass so that I can officially retire I guess. Not sure what I will do with myself once I do, hopefully pursue my dreams of writing and publishing a book of love letters and finally doing some pencil sketching. I have it in me just waiting for me to let it blossom. Face Book has taken over my blogging world but you just can't put your hearts thoughts into FB as you can blogging. I still don't have a clue how to make different page headings at the top, only can figure out how to post. I should be smarter, after all I have been working for 45 years, and blogging for I think 7. Not sure how to look up my first blog either. LOL and you are thinking, why is she telling me this, well I am actually scolding myself for not keeping up the piece of my world. Something that someday my kids might stumble across. In the last year, I turned a year older haha and so did everyone else in my life. I am blessed with 9 healthy grand children and a saint of a husband who loves me to pieces! I don't think life could get much better except I am still sitting at this desk....(sigh) I could brag about my amazing grand kids and all that they have achieved but that would be another 10 pages, just believe me when I say they fill up my life when I am around them. Life has been "even" that is about how I can call it, nothing exciting, just even, but I will take that over uneven any day! Hope to be here more often. You can catch me on my FB to see the lastest news. Hugs...Lindalu

I am back....

Well the year 2015 started out very quietly. We didn't even watch the Taylor Swift hoop-la in NY or anything! Bob bought a bottle of fizzy to toast in the new year and we didn't even crack it open! WE ARE SO boring! My house was decorated beautifully again. I just love Christmas and all the sparkly stuff! I took a few pictures of it on my i-pad but I will be darned that I know how to get it from one device to my computer! lol I have been gone way to long and out of the loop (so to say) as it comes to this stuff. WE also got new computers at the office (where I do all of my blogging when I am not busy doing work stuff lol) and I am not sure I know how to add my pics and writing like I did before when I used a program called windows writer. So I will give it a shot...if it turns out dumb..forgive me haha I will get it right. Kids are great...grand kids all 9 of them are great, beautiful and healthy (thank the Lord)I will have to give a break-down of all of them and post pics of them all ages and stuff. Owen who is our grandchild # 5 I think...:) is into that karate stuff and for a kid he is like a little brown belt of something, pretty awesome. I have only seen video of him. But he has a 6 pack! YES this little guy who is 8 has a 6 pack lol. According to my son he is awesome. of course! We had a summer of flowers in the yard (sun flowers my favorite, roses, Blue Angels flying over head which we could view from our back yard, Bob redid the back yard and added a wonderful new patio...not sure how to download those pics, but I think this is a pretty good beginning lol. My son Brad...has had some medical problems, was hospitalized in December with pulmonary embolisms on both his lungs. They counted over 50. Not good. He is only 35 and on oxygen. Send up some prayers for him and his family please. He is more annoyed with having to wheel around an oxygen tank more than anything, but without it...he cannot breath. Our youngest little one is such a dollie...she is going to be 2 in April and she keeps us on our toes. Keeps her daddy on his too even with his oxygen tank! I just know 2015 is going to be a good year for us all. I am working on a short story, and hope that I can find someone to publish it. I love writing. It is a passion that I have always had, just never really uncovered it. My children are encouraging me to get this story published because it is a true story of the love of my life and our journey. That's kind of a little clue here :) Well here are a few pics, I hope...and I will be back! Love Lindalu

GONE TO LONG

It has been such a long long time since I have updated and posted on my blog, there is so much to write about and so many wonderful pictures that my story book is overflowing! Since beginning my blog in 2007 I have had the privilege of meeting amazing people that have touched my life in so many ways they will never understand. Pictures and a year of updates to come very soon! Hopefully when I get back to the office on Monday and my day has slowed down I can do some catching up. Christmas around the corner....and my halls are so decked...I can't wait to share! See you REAL SOON! hugs to you all...
