Yes, it is Grandma591 and I am still alive and full of LIFE!

Hello Everyone, It is me again and yes I am apologizing again for having been away for such a very long time. It is now June of the year 2010 and as I write this I thought I would let you know how my life has been going. As I left off a long time ago (about 2 years ago), my daughter still is not talking to me and I still do not know what to do about it. I have tried emailing her, calling her and she either does not answer my emails or hangs up on me. I don't even know what 3 of my beautiful granddaughters look like or how old they are. It hurts an awfully lot because I love her so much! I will be honest with all of you, I simply cannot do what she wants me to do; but I would really like for my granddaughters to be able to know their Grandma and how much she loves and misses all 4 of them!! It all started years ago with her telling me something that had happened to her years ago(something that included my husband) and I just did not believe her. In my heart, I did not and still do not believe that that what she said happened, happened. So she told me that until I believed her and did what she wanted me to do-I would have NO contact with her, her husband and my 4 beautiful granddaughters. I know in my heart that it did not happen, I have felt since this all began that my heart knew what was right. So I have lost contact with my daughter and her entire family! I have prayed about this for so long and my answer keeps coming right back to my original belief. I suppose that some would say that I should atomatically haved believed her(because she is my daughter); and then there are some that say that kids do not lie about things like this and in her defense, I have rarely ever heard her tell a lie. But something in what she told me and how she told me and when she told me said that there is no way it happened like she said. I am not saying she lied, maybe she does believe that it really happened; but for the life of me and all the love that I have for her-I just still do not believe that this happened. Should I be penalized for the rest of my life because I do not believe her? Should I have been given this type of punishment(loss of her love and loss of all contact with her and her family for the entire span of my life?). I have always believed in my kids and I have always backed them up-but this time-I could not. I am so very sorry for everything, but I still do LOVE HER!!! Maybe someday???? I pray for all of this to end and that she might see toit that sometime in the near future she will talk to me again and let me see and know my granddaughters. Anyone out there, am I wrong? I don't believe that I am. God Bless from all of my HEART!!!!! Grandma591

Believe it or not? Grandma591 is back!

It's sure been a long time since I have talked to you all (sounds like I'm from the south-well southwest iowa that is-nothing against people from the South-I love them all-I really do!). My son's family has moved in with us, been here for awhile now(my husband thinks a long while), but I do love having them close and I get my fix everyday of my adorable Grandkids. They are back in school now, except for Jayce; he's only 2 and my oldest Grandson, Colby; he's 18 and working at Burger King. Caleb and kayleen are both in kindergarten, Josh is in 8th grade, and Chris-almost 15; he's a freshman in high school. My granddaughter in Seattle is in second grade, her sisters are, I believe still at home. I bet you noticed something very peculiar in this blog. I haven't mentioned my granddaughters(who live in Seattle) names. There's a good reason for that, my daughter is not speaking to me, and has not for 4 years. It's a very disgusting problem; in fact I am very angry and upset about it, but I can't do anything to fix it or us up. It's a long story and I would rather not elaborate about it right now. I'll be in trouble if she sees this. So enough of my problems. On and upward, forward, never backward. I am doing right well at this time. I am happy, I love my husband of 28 years very much, I love all my kids(including my son in-law and daughter in-law) and of course-all of MY BEAUTIFUL GRANDKIDS!!!!! All ten of them. I found out I do have another grandson(who is 18), but he doesn't live with his mother and we never get to see him, he found out this year that his mother had to give him up for adoption. I hope he knows how much Grandma loves him!! I do believe this blog is turning into a Soap Opera, no way, can't have that, besides I don't think you all really want to hear all this. I am so SORRY for letting loose my family problems, please forgive me. But my life is still pretty darn good. i now have over 600 books in my little private library(stored in my bedroom), I also collect coloring books, special coloring books, coloring pages. You know, coloring can be rather relaxing(mentally and physically) and a whole lot of old fashioned FUN! It's great for my Grandkids too. they love it, even the 2 year old. When they are coloring, they are happy and content. And we all love to show off our creativity when it comes to our coloring. I also have discovered some new music I absolutely love! Well, it
s new to me. Rob Zombie! My favorite song of his is DRAGULA. I do love his music alot! I know it sounds funny coming from a 60 year young Grandma-that she loves Rob Zombie!!! Well, got to go now, I think you've had enough of me today. I'll be back. Take care all of you. God Bless you all from all of my HEART. Grandma591

Hi everyone! Grandma591 here and hoping that your having a very good day and that your life is going smoothly too. Bless you and your families. My family is doing great! The little ones really enjoy these real warm days, because, grandma and papa let them play in the sprinkler. It's so much fun to watch them running through the water and hearing their laughter! There's nothing like the laughter of a child to brighten up your day. I read a very good book awhile back, called Microbe by Bill Clem. He writes medical thrillers. This was really good. If you like medical thrillers, this is one for you, it will grab you and pull you right into the story!And it won't let go until the story ends! Oh, give me the Unknown and a good old fashioned SCARE anytime!! But true crime is still my favorite. They both have that unknown and dark qualities in them, which is why I suppose I like them both so much. But it is still true crime that keeps me reading the most. I like to know what is going on in the world outside of my small farming town, we get the news alright, but sometimes we miss some of the more worldly news, about people and what's happening to them. And I believe that we should know about more of the "BAD" people and what they are doing to our fellow human beings and why they are doing it. You know something, I still think I don't have this Blog thing down right. I really an not sure what I am supposed to be writing about on any one spot. Can any one help me? Do I talk about my life and family and things that mean something to me, like things that I like or don't like, should I tell people about them? I would sure appreciate it if you could clue me in as to how to go about this blogging. Because what I have been doing every once in awhile has been alot of fun for me. How I am I doing for the rest of you? God Bless each and everyone of you. Grandma591

Here, it's me Grandma591. Not much going on around here. I have spent the afternoon on the computer looking for a new author(well, he's new to me-I've only read 1 of his books-but it was terrific!). His name is Bill Clem. Here are some of his books: Microbe, Medicine Cup, They all Fall Down, Immortal, Bliss, Diencephalon, Presidential Donor, and Skin Deep. I don't get to buy books very much anymore, so I have to be real careful which ones I choose, and I want to get his book of "Skin Deep". Another "new" author is Steve Alten; Meg series (about Magolodon), Domain Series(2 books in this series), Goliath, and Meg 4: Hell's aquarium(due out sometime this year. If anyone knows of any new True Crime books out or coming out this year, I would appreciate if you'd let me know. Thanks. My Family is doing great, now that school is out for the summer. The 3 younger ones(1 1/2, 5, 5 1/2) all go to day care during the week, they take them on little trips, zoo, swimming, pic nics, and loads of other things. Then later in the evening they come upstairs here at our house and spend some time with papa and grandma. My son and his wife bought me the most beautiful Rosary bracelet, it is so very special to me and it helps me alot. See, I'm still not very good at blogging, so I can use any help you could give me. I love talking about my family and reading, Hope i don't bore you too much. God Bless each and everyone of you from all of my heart. Grandma591
