Once again this book has captured my attention. My daughter and I were looking for a chapter book for her to read. She has to read for thirty minutes every night. She chose this one even though I told her it might be too hard for her. We have been taking turns reading it chapter by chapter. I wonder what her teacher is thinking when she sees in her chart that she is reading this! LOL My mom gave it to me just a few short months before she died. Love you Mom.

Getting Settled
September 6, 2007 by MelissaI’m getting settled, so be careful of the constructon zones! LOL As you can tell, Chris was able to import my blog posts from Blogger so my move is as seamless as possible. I’m sure there will be some variations, but I intend to keep things as close as possible to my Blogger blog…better even.
(((HUGS)))

Father-In-Law
August 28, 2007 by MelissaLate yesterday afternoon/evening, I got a return call from my mother-in-law about the scope procedure that my father-in-law had done. They found a small tumor and he will have to have surgery to have it removed. It sounded relatively simple, but with age and other health issues, it still has me concerned.
I’m one of the lucky few that got wonderful in-laws when I married my husband. I am very close to my in-laws and they are truly my family. It is rare that a week goes by without talking or seeing them (they live in same city). I count my blessing every day for having them in my life.
When I first met them; I was terrified. We already knew I was pregnant (out of wedlock) and there was an age difference (hubby lied about my age). I was the first girl he ever brought to meet his parents (and grandparents). He was going to visit his grandfather in the hospital and brought me along; much to everyone’s surprise. It was a couple weeks later that we broke the news that we were going to get married (and I was pregnant). They took it all in stride and accepted me with open arms.
My father-in-law is a gruff man and I’ve heard horror stories about how disciplined he was during my hubby’s childhood. I never saw that side of him. He was very excited about his own son having a child (it better be a boy he’d jokingly tell me – he got his grandson). He tells hubby all the time that he’s a far better father than he was, he dots on his grandchildren (especially Eddie), and he’s always treated me as if I was his own daughter.
So you can see why I have been so stress about his stay at the hospital, the scope, and now the results. So please take a moment and say a silent little prayer for him. I will keep you updated.
