Hey man your losing your drawers

Rich is in the habit of getting "upset" when someone bumps in to him knowing there was room to get around but did not make it. on this occasion Rich held his temper and well this is what happened.... In the store Rich moved to one side to let this guy with his plumber pants on showing the world all and they bumped into each other no apology was given and the guy just walked out. After Rich got what he needed he walked out and with a straight face turned to him and said "hey man your losing your drawers" looking the guy in the his eyes and just staring for him to make the move and when he just stood there Rich just smiled and walked away. talk about keeping your cool and adding insult to injury I can just imagine him pulling up his pants and trying to keep them there. now that is one habit That is a good one to break. TTFN.

Rebel

I am in the habit of or at least I used to be of visiting the graves of those that have passed on and talking to them telling them what has been happening. Today I had the opportunity to do it again. As most are aware of my cousin passed away in November. I miss her terribly and today I went to her grave I wanted to see the stone that was not there at her funereal and I was not sure what I would do when I got there but, I cried a lot like when it first happened and I realize how much she meant to me and how much I miss her. she was my friend and someone I could laugh with someone I could cry to and know she would listen. In turn I did the same for her. I can not help but feel like maybe I could have done something to save her. and the over whelming sense of guilt is not something I can shake. next week is her birthday and I will be going again to see her grave and putting flowers on it and sending up a balloon to her in Heaven with all my love. letting go is hard and I am not so sure I am ready to do that just yet but, maybe one day I will. I know she is in a better place and she is not in pain for that I am thankful. My life has been better for having her in it and I will never forget my Rebel cousin Becky.

My baby is not a baby anymore

We are in the habit of being outside when the weather is nice. Today it got to 60 and it was beautiful. Khirali and Hunter were riding their bikes and Khirali decided to ask to have her training wheels taken off. so I did and off she goes scooting along and then putting her feet on the pedals and then she loses her balance. after about 20 min. she got the hang of it my baby is riding her bike with out the trainging wheels of course we made a huge deal of it. and she is so excited that she is showing everyone. I have to say they grow up so fast and I am a little sad to think that my baby is well on her way to being a young lady. on the other hand it also means she starts school next year and then it all goes up from there. so freedom here we come or not at least we still have our habits.

A good man

We are in the habit of making the oh so familiure trip down the Gorge. yet today was for a different reason. We went to say goodbye to a good man. A man that has had a big impact on my familys life. If it were not for the man Clark Riley we may still be in Dufur (which is not a bad place to live) working four jobs between us and not really going any where. Clark offered Rich a job therefore we moved and here we are today. maybe not at the top of life but we are in a good place. Clark shall be missed. The world will be different without you here. To the family our prayers go out to you. to the mill may you find a boss as good as Clark and to the world may life continue and strive to be better. That is all of the habits for now. TTFN
