Text of the page (random words):
e no exception we had our chores to do and we had to do those every day as part of a family that was just something that you did after we did our chores we could play and have fun i m sure she was relieved to have us all out of the house and we could play for hours outside my brothers taught my sister and i to play in the mud make mud pies and make roads for our toy cars as we all got older my dad started working on motorcycles and he built us a couple of motorcycles so that we could all have them to ride my brothers showed my sister and i how to ride them and how to drive an old pickup with the gear shift on the column i remember sitting on my oldest brothers lap steering and shifting while he was working the brake and clutch my mom always said that whatever one wouldn t think of the other ones would they got into some trouble but they were always looking out for their little sisters as they started dating my sister and i were ruthless to the girls they dated but the best girls all stayed and they each married one by one and left the house my sister and i were sad when they left but life does go on all of my sister in laws are the best because they take care of our brothers like we would take care of them of course our mom made our dresses and i do believe i was wearing crocheted gloves ha ha as we got older and started dating my dad didn t have to worry too much because he always had my brothers to make sure that our dates would behave themselves they ran a lot of them off by just hanging around as they would arrive i m not sure what they said to them as they waited for us to get ready but i m sure it was something to scare them off they were always quick to tease us but always there to protect us too my middle brother told me way after i got married that if my date and i would have turned our car around we would have run right into him my oldest brother tom was a diesel mechanic who worked for a trash hauling company here in wichita and serviced all of their trucks he is now retired he is married and has 3 children and 8 grandchildren my middle brother dean was a machinist lead and worked for an aircraft company here in wichita he supervised machinist that made aircraft parts that were made out of steel aluminum brass and bronze these are only a few of the materials that he turned on a lathe he and his wife have 5 children 13 grandchildren 1 on the way and a 3 great grandchildren dean passed away in december 2010 i miss him so my third brother terry is a farmer and also works part time as a bus driver and maintenance for the schools in madison kansas he is semi retired terry is married and has 4 children 7 grandchildren and 1 on the way i am very proud of all of them and i know they have learned to work on all kinds of equipment and i believe they could probably fix anything and they learned all of these things by hanging out with my mom and dad i love you tommy deanie and terry this was from a post that i wrote on february 2010 when i was the blogger for leisure arts website called crochet soiree which is no longer i hope everyone enjoys looking at these photos from the past with me happy wednesday 5 comments posted in uncategorized posted by tgonzales july 17 2019 present this is so ironic i ran across this story in my memories on facebook i was just talking to tim my friend this morning about another friend of mine who is paralyzed from the chest down this story reminds me of my friend who is paralyzed no matter how i am feeling when i stop by to see him my challenges seem so small he always seems to encourage me even though i m sure he doesn t even know it i hope everyone of you are able to spread some encouragement along your travels today please read on two men both seriously ill occupied the same hospital room one man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs his bed was next to the room s only window the other man had to spend all his time flat on his back the men talked for hours on end they spoke of their wives and families their homes their jobs their involvement in the military service where they had been on vacation every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window the man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside the window overlooked a park with a lovely lake ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance as the man by the window described all this in exquisite details the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene one warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by although the other man could not hear the band he could see it in his mind s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words days weeks and months passed one morning the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window who had died peacefully in his sleep she was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away as soon as it seemed appropriate the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window the nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable she left him alone slowly painfully he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside he strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed it faced a blank wall the man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window the nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall she said perhaps he just wanted to encourage you epilogue there is tremendous happiness in making others happy despite our own situations shared grief is half the sorrow but happiness when shared is doubled if you want to feel rich just count all the things you have that money can t buy today is a gift that is why it is called the present the origin of this letter is unknown but please pass it on share it with friends and tag them so the cycle continues do not keep this letter you could change a life too 5 comments posted in uncategorized posted by tgonzales may 2 2019 i forgot to mention joshua i found this quote a few years ago and i have loved it ever since i forget to mention yesterday that i will get to see joshua next friday for the first time in 2 years i can t tell you how excited i am about that anyway get the tissues ready a mother is her son s home base you are home to him when he learns to walk he will wobble a few feet away from you and then come back then wobble a little farther and then come back when he tries something new he will look for your proud smile when he learns to read he will repeat the same book to you 20 times in a row because you re the only one who will listen that many times when he plays a sport in joshua s case a dramatic play he will search for your face in the stands when he is sick he will call you when he really messes up he will call you when he is grown and strong and tough and big and he feels like crying he will come to you because a man can cry in front of his mother without feeling self conscious even when he grows up and has a new person in his life and gets a new home you are still his mother home base the ever constant like the sun i had to remind myself of this over and over when he moved to new york 9 years ago know that in your heart and everything else will fall into place 9 comments posted in uncategorized posted by tgonzales may 1 2019 connecticut trip my friend of 50 years asked me to go to connecticut with her this friday we will be gone for a week and a half if you are wondering yes this has been in the planning stages since the first part of the year my friend is a very talented artist who loves all things fiber she weaves knits crochets hooks embroiders sews etc etc the list goes on and on anyway she has done two yarn installations in westville connecticut and her creations hung on and in trees during their artwalk this is a quote from an interview with my friend i wanted to make something that makes people slow down and smile well i hope people will slow down and smile again when they see the creative things that she has come up with for this year s artwalk an over 6 foot long gecko lizard hanging from a 2 story building and decorated trees and bicycles are some of things that will be covered with yarn surely these pieces of art will make people slow down and smile i am helping her by crocheting flowers and will help her crochet pieces to cover the bicycles once we get there while she s driving i will be crocheting as many flowers as i can i can hardly wait to start this adventure with my dear friend lisa how s your week going leave a comment posted in uncategorized posted by tgonzales april 25 2019 happy 43rd birthday to my sweet jennifer when your dad and i got married i knew i wanted to have a child so three months later when i found out that i was pregnant i was so happy i can tell you this i loved every minute of carrying you for nine months and 2 weeks even though i was to the point that i thought i was going to be pregnant for the rest of my life i still enjoyed it in the 70 s when you were born the doctors didn t do sonograms unless there was a problem with the pregnancy since i was not having any problems my doctor chose not to do a sonogram so i didn t know whether you were going to be a boy or a girl your dad convinced me that we should have a boy first so that s what we were hoping for but when you arrived and i found out that you were a girl i was secretly very happy that s you on the left and your cousin jarred on the right i always thought it would be fun to have a mini me running around i thought i would share some photos of you growing up i can t believe all of the studio pictures that i had taken you were unbelievable when it came to taking pictures on our way to the studio you would be crying and as soon as the lights came on and the camera started flashing you would just smile in one of your pictures you may see a tear in her eye but you still had a smile on your face how could i resist buying the pictures when you were so cute you loved your cousin jarred who was born the day after you and your aunt jackie and i both had the same doctor and we were in the same hospital room you grew up just like brother and sister and fought just like it too you were always such a social butterfly and you always loved playing with your cousins neighbors and friends and i m happy to say that you still are a social butterfly and you never seem to meet a stranger sorry about not having more pictures of you as a young teenager i must ve been too busy with working and joshua oh speaking of joshua when john and i were trying to tell you that you were going to have a little brother or sister we were both so afraid that you would be upset i still remember when we told you we were leaving cholita s mexican restaurant and i turned and said what if i were to tell you that i m going to have a baby and you said mommy i ve always wanted a brother or sister i was so happy and you were the best big sister helping to take care of joshua even going as far as to stay up with him when he was sick we would take turns rocking him when he didn t feel well then as history repeats itself you also had always wanted to have a child and when you got married and announced you were pregnant we were all very happy even though you knew the pregnancy was high risk due to your high blood pressure you went to a high risk doctor for your checkups and tried to do everything he told you to do but your body had other plans and the doctor put you in the hospital i remember driving to the hospital after work and helping you to shower and wash your hair every day i would tuck you in to bed and then cried all the way home i just remember i was so frightened that i might lose you then i remember getting a call from you on saturday morning on that labor day weekend in 2002 your vital signs and the baby s vital signs were telling the doctor that you needed to deliver some time that weekend i remember staying at the hospital from saturday monday when they finally took the baby caesarean and even though megan was very tiny at 3 lbs 3 oz she didn t have to stay in the hospital too awfully long as long as i live i will never forget the question megan asked you just not too long ago mommy how long have you and gran gran been friends and i love how you answered her since i was born i think that is so true because we pretty much grew up together i hope you have a wonderful birthday today and always i ve loved every single minute of the years even through the ups and downs and don t ever forget that i will always love you 9 comments posted in uncategorized posted by tgonzales february 27 2019 a great lesson on stress this is a copy of a post from february 27 2015 i so miss writing on here but can t seem to find the time to pick it back up when i read this post from 2015 i loved it so much that i thought it would be a good read for all of you again i hope everyone is having a good year and try not to stress so much lol a young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question half empty or half full she fooled them all how heavy is this glass of water she inquired with a smile answers called out ranged from 8 ozs to 20 ozs she replied the absolute weight doesn t matter it depends on how long i hold it if i hold it for a minute that s not a problem if i hold it for an hour i ll have an ache in my right arm if i hold it for a day you ll have to call an ambulance in each case it s the same weight but the longer i hold it the heavier it becomes she continued and that s the way it is with stress if we carry our burdens all the time sooner or later as the burden becomes increasingly heavy we won t be able to carry on as with the glass of water you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again when we re refreshed we can carry on with the burden holding stress longer and better each time practiced so as early in the evening as you can put all your burdens down don t carry them through the evening and into the night pick them up tomorrow 1 accept the fact that some days you re the pigeon and some days you re the statue 2 always keep your words soft and sweet just in case you have to eat them 3 always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it 4 drive carefully it s not o...
