I've moved.


I have given up on Blogger and I've moved to Type pad.. Here's my new address... I think

http://www.bettyjf1.typepad.com/

I'm still working on it and trying to figure out how to get my favorite blogs on my page etc.

I've been in the middle of mad bread making today (via my bread maker) but I plan on visiting all my blogs tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog today.

Tuesday

Spring 1983

You'd think after 31 years of being married to me.. Paul would KNOW that when one spends the weekend ...two days with our grandchildren, he'd use the camera he always carries in his truck and take pictures for Gran! Well, not if you're Paul Flocken. Not a lot of photos taken at Saturday's birthday party for Rob and Paul  didn't take any.. In his words.." Same kids, I already have pictures of".
So I have no new photos to post today of all the weekend's events. Ricky moving into his new place, Rob's birthday party, The kids all together at Firefighters Park in Murrieta.. NOTHING. What's wrong with my family (except you Carla).
Paul's on his way home now with Sabby and is not at all concerned about the lack of photos he brings his wife.... hmph.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful day, and I'm looking forward to seeing Pappys again.

June 1st already


I had a bad night Saturday night, with Muscle Spasms. A little like someone ripping  the back of my legs apart.. and a massive headache. So, a ride to Southern CA was not in the cards yesterday either. :(  I'm home. Katie's at work today and doing better. Paul took Sabby with him yesterday when he moved Ricky home to CA. Ricky called last night to let me know he was there and settled in. He starts his job today - he transferred from the restaurant here to the one in CA.. I'm going to miss him but he's not too far away. I'm home alone today, feeling better but laying low.

Paul loves AZ and will never move back to CA. Katie and Sabby leave in 2 weeks. I'm excited now for Katie, "that guy" seems like an awfully nice guy and meeting his family made me really comfortable. So I'm excited for Katie and Sabby as they begin their new life... I may be crazy - but I admire Katie for her hope.
 
It's going to be a new life for Paul and Me too. We'll be on our own again. 

I'm pretty sure that's o.k. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy our new life. I'm really sure it's up to me to be happy in our new life.

I want to be healthier and start looking forward to my 60's and 70's and why not.. my 80's!
Going back to my last post on living life joyfully. Kathie and I didn't get to that answer on Saturday, we did find some joy while ordering lunch at Paradise Bakery.. I'll take it.. But won't re-order the Tomato soup in a sour dough bowl. 

On my own, I came up with some answers and more questions. I know it's up to me, to do what it takes to be joyful. It's not too late, all the way up in my 50's, to make the changes I should and look to my future. I still have one. I think having the health problems I've had, I had determined I would not live much longer and was o.k. with that but I think I was wrong. I think I can live a long time. I'm basically a very happy person, but I want to investigate this thing about living life joyfully more, and do what I've told my kids to do all their lives. Celebrate and honer this life God Gave you!  I plan on reporting more in this blog, about looking toward my future and living joyfully as I learn more.. 
Have any of you learned the secrets of Living Life Joyfully? Everyday? I can use the input.

To Live Life Joyfully

I'm suppose to be in CA today, going to Rob's birthday party. He, his brother in law and sister in law all have birthdays in May. So today is the "May Party". I missed it 2 years ago since I was in the hospital with Diverticulitis. Thursday Katie got really sick and Thursday night we spent most of the night in the hospital while they checked her for pulmonary embolisms. Happily, she was o.k. and they've since cleared her for Pnemonia. She's not well enough to drive down there right now and since Paul is going tomorrow to help Ricky move, well, I'm going him him tomorrow night for a couple of days.
Kathie is coming over today, we plan on sitting in the pool under the umbrella and I guess we'll discuss and decide how one lives joyfully.
