Putting out and passing time

Hi folks, just wanted to say that I enjoyed so many people's blogs that I decided to go the distance and join in the fun. Also, it doesn't seem to be quite fair to read and enjoy so many blogs and not put out anything. I am guilty of taking, passing the time, and not putting out anything of interest. Heck, it may not be of interest anyway.

I am a native Texan. There are not so many of us anymore. We have a lot of people that have come from other places like Wisconsin, California, Illinois, New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, (did I mention that every other person in Texas is from Wisconsin). It must be the love of cattle we share and the lack of a real winter for most of us Texans.

I was born in Fort Worth and moved from that city when I was a wee baby and my parents moved to El Paso where I grew up. I don't live there now but I do miss the desert. The beautiful sunsets, the mountains, the dryness of the desert, and the mixture of people that live there. I now live in another big ol' Texas city. My husband is from Wisconsin and still talks funny. He is truly a good husband with a unique sense of humor. He keeps me sane and laughing. It is really remarkable that he helps keep me sane... a tough job for anyone, including me.


Our children are grown (Hallelujah) and all on their own. All are married to wonderful, intelligent, sweet, loving people. We are so very blessed to have them in our family. My son-in-law is a campus minister. He will be going to finish seminary this summer in Pennsylvania. So, I am sad that my daughter and son-in-law will be moving this summer for a couple of years from a nearby city to PA. I guess the airlines will have more money than ever because I will be burning up the skymiles to visit my grandchildren.

Our daughter has two sons (they are absolutely the best and I know ya'll will think I am biased but I am not) and one baby on the way. My daughter is very beautiful, inside and out, she is spiritual, healing, and a terrific mom. I am doubly blessed to have her as my daughter. God is so good. She teaches natural childbirth classes and is terrific at it. She had both her boys au natural without even a Tylennol. Number one grandson weighed in at 9 pounds 6 oz. and the second one was premature but weighed in at 5 pounds 14 oz. (full-term he would have also been a 9+ pounder). The babies are 14 months apart and are the very best thing that has happened to this ol' mom. I have heard people say, "We should have had our grandchildren first." It's true...I didn't think I could love my grandchildren as much as my children but I do, oh I do.
Our sons have provided us with daughters-in-laws and grandpuppies but no grandchildren yet. Two of the grandpuppies are Minipincers, one is a Australian cattle dog, one is a mixture of something and pitt bull and something. Some of the grandpuppies are smart and lovable and some are obnoxious (they are worse than a cat about climbing on the cabinets) and are not very smart but are cute.

I have one question today, our cat, Charlie Brown, is neutered but thinks he is not. How do I tell him that the soft, cuddly, stuffed Moose that sleeps on our bed is not a girl kitty cat? He is so "in love" with Moose. I am worried. Will we be grandparents to a moosecat?
