~Good morning Sweetheart~
  Tuesday and already a crazy place.I absolutely hate this phone here.All it does is ring all day long.I just hang it up and go to the curb to check someone in and it rings again.Whenever the phone rings at home Judy and I argue because neither one of us want to answer it.I know it sounds crazy but when you hear it all day long like this you don't want to answer it at home.
   I just got off the phone with Nicole now all three kids are sick.Boy she has her handful.ever since brook started School those kids are always sick.Poor Babies.Could never figure out why Parents send their kids to school sick then it goes around the entire School.
  I spoke with Darlene yesterday and shes having another procedure done this morning to try and unclog her arteries.I
guess she'll be back home today.It's an outpatient procedure.I truly hope this works for her.I've been worried about her for sometime now.She spent all her time taking care of Randy and neglecting herself.Now she has alot of problems.Her moral has definately improved.So with alot of prayers she will do fine I'm sure.I love Darlene she's always been like a sister to me.
  Well honey I have only nine days left to visit you in here because I'm not going to keep this going.I don't know how much it will cost but it looks like I'm the only one who visits this site.I 
am going to have the entire Guestbook printed for my self though.It will bring me close to you when I need it.
  Well my love I guess I'll get back to work.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

`Good morning Love~
  Well I survived the weekend.The kids were good but Marissa was sick.She has a terrible cough.They said everytime they take them to the Water Park at Seaworld they all get sick after.They are probably swallowing all the chemicals they put in there.I told them don't tske them there anymore.You know they have to use alot of Chlorine in places like that.Where thousands of people are there on a daily basis.Poor 
baby I felt so bad for her. I know I didn't sleep sat. night she coughed so hard I thought she was going to vomit.So I jumped up out of bed everytime she coughed.I sure slept last night though.I was beat.I'm still tired out.They were really good for me though as they always are when Mommy and Daddy aren't around.It's funny how kids change when Mommy and Daddy aren't around.They went in the pool for about 20 mins. it was soooo cold.All this 90 degree weather we've had and it's not warming up the pool for some reason.I wish now I would have gotten the solar blanket for it.It was freezing water.
  So I made a nice dinner for everyone before they left and then they went home shortly after.I got some beautiful Flowers from the Boys,both Tommy and Nicole,and Gene and Gina for Mothers Day.They was what my weekend was all about.The weather was very nice thank God for that at least the kids could play out on the pool deck.They had a good time.Thomas didn't want to leave.I want to stay with you Bramma he said. Thats what he calls me " Bramma ".So adorable and such a good boy.He is really a good baby.Just filled with love.Precious as can be.
  I know they really tired me and Judy out though.Just trying to keep up with them.I'm getting old honey.
  I'm going to give Darlene a call this morning to see how she feels.She found out Friday she has pneumonia and din't even know it.So the Dr. put her on antibiotics.So I'll give her a shout her shortly.
  Not much of anything else going on around here.So far the weather has been beautiful so what more can we ask for.
  We're going over to Vivians house tonight after Dinner for awhile to visit
with her and her Mom.Such a wonderful lady both of them.She's the one we met at Dr. Kims Office with her Mom.They live right off Alabama Road.Well my precious I'm going to get off of here and give darlene a call before I GET slammed.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  Well made it to Friday for another week.Can't wait until 3 o'clock.Ended up being a real crazy day here yesterday.Just want to get out of here for the two days I have off.
   Not anything planned except for watching the kids on Sat night.I just feel like going home and straight to bed.I'm so tired out.The funny thing is I don't know why I'm tired all the time.Just feel completely drained of all energy.I need a boost of vitamin B 12.Maybe that will energize me.
   Well I just tried making an appointment with your old Primary care Dr. and without Ins. the bill will be anywheres from  $250.00 to $ 450.00 just for the first visit.There is no way I can afford that.So I continue looking.It's so sad that American people have to ignore their Health because they have no Health Ins. coverage.That's the situation I'm facing right now.Thanks to my Employer. I have shopped around and it unbelievable the prices their asking. Just for me.I don't know if I'll ever get Insurance by the rate I'm going ?
   Well lets get off that subject because it just ruffles my feathers.Sure
looks like were in for some rain.The sky is getting black.Hope it's not going to be rain all weekend.The kids will want to go in the pool so I pray it's not rain all weekend.They love the water.
   Well my sweetheart I'm going to get my lunch eaten and will try and get back on over the weekend. I love and miss you with all my heart and please don't ever forget it. ~Forever and always your loving Wife` Carol

~Good morning my Love~
  I don't know what happened but I lost what I already had written.This has happened a few times and is very annoying.Especially when I'm almost done writing in here.
  There really isn't much of anything going on to speak of. I just like to visit my honey and I know if you were here you would listen to all I have to say.So there's no reason for me to believe you wouldn't do the same here.
   It's a hot day today and will stay this way until Thurs.and then the Humidity is supposed to drop.But not going to stay long.For April and May it has been extremely hot.I hate to see what July and Aug.is going to be like.What worries me is Hurricane season.How bad is it going to be this year.We've been extremely lucky since Heron Pond.So we're bound to get hit again.I guess I'll worry about that when the time comes.Sure hope they miss us though. 
  I was talking to Darlene earlier today and she is doing well.I think this change in her life will be good for her and I can tell by talking to her that she feels the same way.I'm happy for her because it truly has been a long haul for her.Seven years of catering to Randy is alittle much. She has exhausted herself and knows now she has to take care of herself.
  Well my precious I guess I should try to get my lunch over with before I do get real busy here.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Darling of mine~
  Some fantastic news first thing this morning.Our Troops killed Bin Laden. Thank God and God Bless our amazing Troops.Now if we can get them all back home it will be a miracle.
   Judy comes back tonight sometime.I really hate being by myself.To many things go through my head and I get upset to easily.I will love and miss you forever honey and when I'm by myself I just do to much thinking and it brings back so much pain for me. I'll be glad when Judy comes back home.
It's been a long week by myself.Darlene was supposed to come by but never made it.I cleaned the entire house and patio.Yesterday morning I washed the car to get all the lovebugs off of it.Last night I had absolutely nothing to do.I stopped over to Gene's and had dinner with them. I came home took a shower and went to bed.And here I am.It's been very slow starts in the mornings here but picks up and gets pretty busy.Sales Office people are running behind this morning so no one going to Sales will beable to get in until they are here.
  Well my love I'm going to get off of here and try and get some things done before I do get real busy.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always you loving Wife~ Carol

~Hi my Precious love~
 I have been fighting this darn internet all weekend.I was on the phone with Century link forever and they couldn't get it going.They're supposed to come here tomorrow but no need now,I reset the whole modem and now it's working.
  It's been a very long lonely week for me because Judy is still at Tommy's.She'll be home around dinner time tomorrow.I've had alot of lonely time and have done alot of thinking about how much I love and miss you.You truly were my life honey and I miss you so much.I know we'll be together someday and it just tears my heart out missing you so much.I think about us all the time and it's been almost a whole year and nothing has changed how I feel.I just loved you with all my heart and when you left me it just shattered my heart to pieces.A day doesn't go by I don't think of you.Or a song we used to dance to is just so sad for me.I have listened to lady a trillion times and it's so very true.No wonder you loved that song so much.It's absolutely beautiful.Just like you honey your touch your voice and your beautiful eyes just melted my heart.I will love and miss you forever and please don't ever forget that.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Sweetie~
  Hi honey.Just another day and thank the Dear Lord for Fridays.Been pretty slow so far.I'm talking to Darlene right now and her and Randy split up.He is now living with Peggy. She is 
much happier now and seems to be more content with herself.She has alot of Medical issues she has to deal with and she needs to take care of herself now.She realizies this now and will move on with her life.
  I spoke to Shirley and they want to move down here so bad.She said find us jobs.Jamie and Tony feel the same way. I can't wait for the day to come.She might just come down and finish her Nursing while Tony stays up North to try and sell the house.They are thinking that Sarasota would be a place they would like to live.Going to be expensive I'm sure up there.It's a tourist trap and you know how that goes.I would love it if my daughter could be here with me.I love and miss her so much.
  Believe it or not when Shirley and Ken were here they didn't want to go back home.They love it here and Ken has never seen our Home and feel in love with it.Well hopefully everything works out for them all.Would be really nice to have some more family here.Well my love I guess I should get to work.Today is Friday and I have to get all my paperwork together for Payroll on Monday morning.I get it all set up and just haave to send it out.
  Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
 Not much has changed since yesterday except for getting much needed rest.I got home and laid down around 5 and woke up around 7:30.I had to run to the store so I did that,took my shower and right back to bed.I woke up alittle after 4 this morning.I stayed up and had to go to the post office before work to mail something out to Judy.So thats all taken care of.I still haven't heard from Darlene yet. It's alittle early to call her just yet.I'll wait awhile before trying her again.
  I can't believe all the sleep I did get and I'm still yawning.I hope I get some energy soon.I'm always so tired.
  I talked with Jamie for awhile last night and she felt the same way.I guess we did to much running around while on Vacation.I know I'm pooped right out.
   Judy won't be back until Monday now because they cancelled Brooks field trip at School because of rain.She's going to watch Marissa and Thomas so Nicole can chaperone.I'm sure she'll be glad to get home.
  Well my Love I guess this is all for today and I have to get some paperwork done and sent out to Mr. Filbert.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  Sorry I haven't been on here but I was away for Vacation with the Kids and my Sister.I didn't take my laptop with me because there wasn't internet available.Unless I paid $8.00 an hour for it.
  So as you can see I'm back and what a total nightmare yesterday was.First day back to work and it was national complaint day.Everyone of the
Residents told me I couldn't go on anymore vacations.I went home with a headache.Honestly it's like babysitting and once I'm out of site all you know what breaks loose.Much
better today thank God.
  Well all my company is gone and it was such a short time to spend with them.We went to Ft. Myers Beach. Siesta Key and Orlando.The weather was absolutely perfect.Hot but no rain.The kids loved Disney and I told Tommy and Nicole the only one left to see Disney is Thomas and they will be taking him.I'm all done with Disney.It's going to take me a week just to catch up on my rest.Very exhausted.It was so nice to be able to spend time with everyone.Sad to see them leave though.
Shirley and Ken didn't want to leave, they loved it here.We stayed down on the Beach for three days and it was gorgeous.Alot of sting rays though.We went home the day Jamie and them came in.
The very next day we were all back down there just for the day.Thursady we just chilled out at the house with Shirley and Ken and on Friday Shirley and Ken left.Sat. we went to Orlando with Jamie and Tony.We stayed where we did when you were here with me.We took Brook that time.We had a great time and the Girls went nuts at Disney World.I wouldn't have missed it for the world.They were all so good.Tired old Grandma out for sure.Then on Sunday Tommy and Nicole came to pick up the Girls and we went and had Easter Dinner at Pachino's. The kids left for home and i slept like a baby that night. I left Orlando at about 6:00 P.M. and was home by 8:30.Got the car unpacked and took a shower and hit the bed.I didn't even eat dinner.I was just exhausted.
   I tried calling Darlene earlier and she didn't answer the phone,so I left her a message to call me.So she'll call when she gets home.well my love I'm going to get to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Good morning honey~
I thought while I have the chance I would say a quick hello.I have a house full of company and it's very hard to get in here.Because we don't stay in one place to long.Yesterday was my Birthday and They all took me to the Olive Garden for Dinner.It was very nice and as usual I ate to much.After Dinner Gene,Gina and Gena came over for some cake.They stayed until like 1 o'clock this morning.I'm sure their going to be tired when they have to get up for work and School.It was very nice having everyone together, we had a good time.
  Can you believe Shirley and Ken leave tomorrow already.Where does the time go? Judy and I are going to Orlando tomorrow with Jamie and them until Mon. We'll be headed home and they go back on Tues. morning.Well Darling I will try my best to get back in here soon.Always remember how much I love and Miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning sweetie~
  Finally Friday that God.I guess I was just so excited about having ten days off It seemed to drag out.Well after work I'll be headed to Orlando to pick up Shirley and Ken.I can't wait to see them.Also I get to see the kids while I'm up there.I talked to Shirley and I guess she will be at Tommy's around 1:00 P.M. or so.So she'll spend some time with them until we get there.
  I hope the afternoon goes fast,I just want to get on the road,and be there.Like I said before if I'm to tired there will be three other people 
who can drive.I'll just lay back and relax for a change.Shirley will more than likely do the driving if I don't.
  I'm not sure if Darlene is home yet, I have to call her today.I just pray she does okay at home.I'm not sure if they can get a Nurse in there to help her out or not.Randy was to the Dr. yesterday for his leg and hip.Well honey I'm going to get back to work here and I will be back on tomorrow.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  Sorry I missed you yesterday was so busy here and property Management was here for quite awhile yesterday.As soon as he left Mr. Filbert came by.Just complete chaos the whole day.
  I spoke to Darlene yesterday and the surgery went well but the results from it aren't good.He said her vains are so deseased he couldn't get the stints in for 100 % blood flow.There is very little blood flow to the one leg and for now thats the best he can do.So what it all boils down to is she'll never have complete use of that leg.She may be able to walk about 200 ft. without pain.She also said that once she's out of the Hosptal and sees him in his Office that there may be different alternatives.She wasn't to happy to hear of the end results.They want to send her home already from the Hospital and shes not able to get up by herself and get to the bathroom.I don't know why they push people out when they're not physically ready to be discharged.She has no one at home that can take care of her.Randy threw his back out and hes headed to the Dr. today.If it were any other week I would beable to help her out,even if she came to my house for her recovery period.At least she wouldn't be alone. Judy is there all day until I get home.
But I have a house full of company coming.Hopefully they can get a Nurse in there to help her for a couple of weeks.So she will be in my prayers everyday also.
   Well tomorrow starts the big day for company.We head to Orlando after work to pick up Shirley and Ken.I  spoke to her last night and she can't wait to get here.So to bed early tonight for me.I have to work all day then were leaving as soon as I get home.God only knows what time I'll get back in town.But there will be lots of drivers if I'm to tired to drive.
  Then on Tuesday Jamie and them will be here.I can't wait to see everyone.I
miss them all so much.Well sweetheart I'm going to get some work done here.I won't be here all next week so I just want to double check myself to be sure Chris has no problems getting payroll out and the schedules done.Always remember how much I love and miss you honey. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Precious Husband~
   I have a few minutes here not being slammed at the moment, so I thought I would hop in here for a bit.Another really hot and humid day here today.It'
supposed to cool down a little bit but it's not going to laugh.
  I spoke to Shirley & Ken last night and Ken had said boy it sure is hot down here. Shirley so far hasn't complianed. I told her it's been this way for awhile now.Which it has but now the humidity kicks in it's going to be even hottor feeling.
  Well Darlene is in Surgery as we speak honey.I pray everything goes well for her and shes not left in alot of pain.She was scared to death when he told her she needed surgery.Just remembering from her previous surgery.I
told her I would be up after work to see her but I think I might wait until tomorrow.Shes more than likely going to be in ICU for the first 24 hours following surgery.I don't think they'll let non family members in ICU. I hope she told Pat to call me when shes all done.I don't have his cell phone number. I do have Randy's though so I'll call him.She just went into Surgery at 10 O'clock.
  The pool water has reached a nice 80 degrees so time it got used a little.I
was hoping it would warm up before company got here.We leave to go get shirley and Ken on Friday after work.We
will be coming right back just about.I
know its going to be tough for the kids to only see me a couple of hours and have to leave.But I'll see them next wee because I'm taking the girls to Disney with Jamie and the crew.I hope I don't live to regret it.I don't mean taking the kids I mean walking around that place all day.I know my legs and feet are going to feel like falling off.The Girls are really excited to go and I know they'll have a ball.I can't take Thomas as much as I would like to.I can't keep up with him, and he's a little to young yet anyways.Well there my love i guess I'll try to have my lunch before it gets busy again.Always remember and nevr forget how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving wife ~ Carol

`Good morning my love~
  Monday morning and always a crazy start of my week.I wish my work week could start on Tuesdays instead.Think it would be different? Probably not.Well it's not so crazy right now so
thought I would try to get in here early before it gets real busy.Things
must have slowed down for the building in here for right now.Not as much traffic like normal.I'm not complaining
though,it's nice to be slow once in awhile.
  Well I went to bed at 7:00 P.M. last night and feel very refreshed this morning.I did wake up alot though last night to use the bathroom.I must have drank to much before bed.
  Judy called me she's back home.She took Gena home yesterday morning and stayed the night and left early this morning for home.She said the fog was really bad especially driving through Lehigh. I said I know I had to drive in it to work this morning.I hate when it's foggy, so hard to see.I left earlier than usual so I would have the extra time to get here.I got to work at 6:30 A.M..Thats okay because I had all my Payroll done and sent out before 7 this morning.
  I told you yesterday that Darlene is going in for surgery tomorrow morning.I
have to call her as soon as I'm off here.I'm sure shes nervous over the whole ordeal.So hopefully I can  console her some.I have no idea how Randy is going to manage without her.I
hope Darlene's son Pat and the Grandchildren will help out some.I know
Darlene and she's going to worry herself sick over Randy.The biggest thing is making sure he takes his right medications.So I'm going to get off here honey and give her a call. Always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Hi Honey~
Well this is the first time I have gotten on here this weekend.We had a surprise Birthday Party for Pat down at the Parrot Key. All but one person showed up and you know Frankie Torino, he always makes sure everyone has a good time.We did have a good time but I missed you like crazy.Everytime he plays one of our songs it just breaks my heart honey.I miss you so,so much.I
need my dancing partner.I just sit out and watch all the couples dance to what should be our dance.It brings back so many wonderful memories of us.
Well if I don't stop talking about this I will be crying again.Just know honey I will love and miss you always.
  To change the subjest here,Shirley and Ken have arrived in Florida.They're up in Ocala right now at Ken's brothers house.Judy and I will be headed up that way after I get off work Friday to pick them up.Then they'll be here until the 22nd.
  Then Jamie and them come on the 19th. and they will be here until the 26th.I can't wait to see them all.I miss them so much.
 Honey Darlene has to go in the Hospital for major Surgery on Tues.She has blockages that have to be taken care of.So my prayers will be with her through this.
  Judy took her friend Gena back home today so I'm all by myself tonight.I will be going to bed very early while I can.Not that Judy keeps me up.I just have a tendency to stay up later when she's here.So my precious love I am going to sit back and relax alittle bit before it's time to get to bed. Alway's remember and never forget how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
Another day and two off sounds good already.Wasn't to bad of a week,
actually it was slow compared to how  it usually is.
  I have to call Darlene today to find out how she did at the Drs. yesterday.
It's still alittle earlier and I don't want to wake her if shes still sleeping.
  Well Judy drove up to get heR Friend Gena yesterday and they are on their way back home this morning.Gena is going to stay until sunday and she'll be headed back home.
  I spoke to Shirley and shes packed and ready to leave.She said Ken isn't packed yet.She's so excited.They both are actually.They all had a tuff winter up there this year.Another week and Jamie will be here.Can't wait.
 Well sweetheart not much of anything else going on here.So until tomorrow always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning my love~
  Another beautiful day here in SW Florida.Low,low humidity today and I'm enjoying it.One bad thing about it,it's not going to last long.This weekend 90 or better is what they are saying.So it's going to be pretty hot. I hope it warms the pool up enough to go swimming in it.I hate just looking at it.
  I spoke to Shirley and they're all set to leave on Sat.,she's so excited to come down.She misses us terribly as we do her.So it should be a nice visit.
Then next is Jamie and her famiy.They will be overlapping Shirley's visit so 
they'll all be here together. I don't care how many come down it's nice to have them.I miss them all so much.
  I tried to reeach Darlene before I came on here but didn't get an answer.I
hope all is well with her.I know she was waiting for test results to come back.I hope it's nothing serious.I'm 
Talking to her right now and she has to go for Surgery for blockages.Oh boy was afraid of that because she has had alot of pain in one of her legs.Also she has 3 or 4 disks in her back that need attention.She's not sure what they're going to do about that.Well here we go again alot of prayers and hope everything goes well with her.
  Judy has been back and forth to her Dr. also with her legs and back.She's 
had a series of two shots already and they're not helping her.So God only knows whats going to happen with her now.
  It scares me now because I have to go in and have a complete Physical before my Ins. will even consider picking me up.Along with blood work.We
are all falling to pieces her honey.
Well honey I guess I'll get to wotk.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Sweetheart~
 Another day another dollar off to work I go.Going to be a yuckie day, rain forecasted today.Which means I will be busy before it rains but once it starts raining it will die down.Makes for a long day if you know what I mean.One good thing of it all it's supposed to cool it down some.It's been very hot.In the high 80's everyday and it's supposed to hit 90 on Sunday.To hot to soon.
  Well I definately have to call Shirley today to see if their Flights got cancelled.I pray they didn't because especially Shirley has been looking forward to some warm weather.We should know for sure today.
  Well honey I better get dressed if I'm going to leave here on time.I love and miss you with all my heart and never forget this.~Always and forever your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Good Monday Morning My Love ~
   Well made it to Monday and so far it's been pretty busy here.We went down to the Beach yesterday for the Sand Sculptures again this year.We didn't get there until late though.We went to Hooters to eat first then there.The traffic was horrific coming off the Beach.I parked quite  far from where the sculptures were not realizing it until we got on the Beach.
We must have walked at least 4 miles up and back to where I parked.Good exercise though.
   It was a very nice day to bad we didn't get there earlier like I wanted to I could have worked on my tan.Oh well soon enough I will be getting more than my share of the sun.
  I haven't talked to Darlene since Friday.She finally got herself to the Dr. and now she's got alot of issues to address.Poor thing all this time with Randy now herself.I have to get out there to see  them it's been so long.
  I spoke to Tommy and they took the kids to the beach up there yesterday.  They had fun as usual.Nicole posted some cute pictures of them.They'll be coming down in a few weeks to visit.
It's Nicoles little sister's Birthday and it's her 18th. so there having a party for her.
  Shirley and Ken are supposed to be arriving in Florida on Sat.If their flight doesn't get cancelled.SW Air has major problems and are inspecting all there Jets for weakness in the Skins of the planes. They just has a hole puncture through the cabin on a flight from Sacramento and had to make an emergency landing at an Air Force Base.So as of last night they cancelled another 100 Flights.And the bummer is they are not compensating people for this if they want to re-book on another airlines it's at the Consumers expense.So I'm just going to say alot of prayers and hopefully they get her on time and safe.
  Well Honey I'm going to get to work and always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget.You were and always will be the love of my life. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
 It's so early and I think I will be going back to bed.I'm really not awake fully so need to go sleep alittle bit longer.
 I went to bed alittle past 11 P.M. but still sleepy.We went down to the parrot Key last night for awhile and the place was so packed with people with their kids we couldn't even get on the dance floor.Last night is probably the first time I left before Frankie stopped playing.Just to many people,plus I was cold.I forgot to put a sweater in the car just in case it cooled down some.The fans were blowing on my back all night so I was pretty cold.
  Well in six more days Shirley and Ken will be in Florida.We won't see them until the sixteenth though.I really wish they were going to spend the whole two weeks with us.I know it doesn't sound fair but Ken's brother and his wife were just up there not to long ago.So I guess I'll take what I can get. Then My Jamie will be down. Again I can't wait.Elyssa is counting the days before she gets to come here.
 Well my Love I think I'm going to go back to bed for awhile.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good afternoon Honey~
  It's been pretty busy here at work today but slowed down so I want to take the chance while I can.Thank God for Fridays thats all I can say.Because by Friday I am so ready for two days off.Pretty busy week here.
We had a strom blow through here last night and I was so sound asleep I didn't hear but one clap of thunder and seen one bolt of lightening that was it.I'm sure I didn't miss much.I hate stormms as you know.
  I was in bed laying down at 7:30 last night,didn't feel well again and of course the phone rang and woke me up.It was work.Somebody had their car broken into in here.They took the guy's pistol and GPS system.I hope they catch them.
  Well my love Donna will be popping in here shortly and I need to gather my things so I can leave.I have no plans for the weekend and staying home is what I want to do.So my love until then always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
  So far the week has gone pretty fast already Thursday.Probably due to not working Tuesday.Feels good to be back to normal.
  I came home from work yesterday and pretty much relaxed.I love watching this program A Minute to Win It which was on last night.Then I went to bed.I got to work early this morning so I could teach Chris how to do my job for when I'm gone on Vacation next month.He's a pretty smart guy and I don't think he'll have any problems.
  Boy we are in for a really nasty storm this evening.Hopefully I make it home before it hits.The central part of Florida was hit really bad with tornados and hail.You know me honey how afraid I am of these storms.I'm just going to brace myself and hope for the best.I hope I make it home first thats all.I hate driving in it with all these crazy people on the road.well honey it's starting to get busy here so I will go for now and will be back tomorrow.Always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Hi my love~
   Well I made it to work today.I'm better and was able to keep something down last night.It was taht 24 hour bug going around.Thank God it was only 24 hours.I waited exactly 24 hours before I tried to eat anything,I did not want to go through that again.
  It's a pretty hot and humid day here today.We  got another thunderstorm last night and it was cool until this morning and now it's very humid out.I guess were supposed to have a nice weekend,back to normal low 80's and no humidity.That will be nice.So nothing planned for the weekend as of yet.Was pretty nice just relaxing all last weekend for a change.
  Well next Thursday Shirley and Ken will be in Florida.Like I said we won't see them until the 16th. and my jamie and the Family will be coming on the 19th.I can't wait to see all of them.I miss everyone so much.Not like I miss my precious Husbamd though.I wonder if there will ever be a time your not on my mind.I doubt that very much.I just love and miss you with all my heart honey.I would give the world to hold you in my arms.We were just so right for one another and the happiest couple.I look forward to the day we are reunited sweetheart.well my love I have to get dinner started here.Always remember and never forget how much I Love and Miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Hello honey~
  Sorry it took me so long to get on here today.I got sick last night and thought the god I was going bring up my intestines.Judy and I went over to Michele's and Shelly's last night to play some Rummikub.We were there all of ten mins.and I got so sick.I didn't know if I was going to make it home without getting sick again.I spent 3 hours in her bathroom throwing up.My God there was no end.As soon as I got home I went right to bed.I haven't thrown up anymore but thats because my stomach is so empty.All I had was a piece of dry toast and that was just a little bit ago.I'm sitting here wondering what I can eat that will be light on my stomach.I know I have to eat something.It's been almost 24 hours since I really ate.I haven't drank much more than a couple of ounces all day either.Well I hope it's out of my system now.I don't want a repeat of last night for sure.
  So all I've did all day is lay down get up for a few mins.and right back to bed.This is the longest I've been up all day.
   Well thats all the news today to speak of.Not very pleasant news I'm afraid.I will be going back to work tomorrow as long as whatever I do eat stays with me.
  Honey I will try and get back on here later if not definatley tomorrow.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my love~
 What a nasty Monday morning it is here.Rainy and a real bad Thunderstorm earlier.You know me in Thunderstorms, I hate them.It's still raining out but no more thunder and lightning.We really need the rain her though, everything is so dry.A lot of brush fires already.None by us yet thank God.
   Well Gena's Birthday went well yesterday. Gene cooked so much food enough for an Army.And as usual delicious.That Boy of mine can definately cook.Judy and I didn't stay to long.I had a bad sinus headache and still have it this morning. Mabe this rain will keep the pollen down some.
It's been bad to.Anyone with allergies is suffering.I know when we went up to see the kids last weekend Tommy was in real bad shape with his Allergies.The pollen was so thick.I guess up there it's worse with all the different trees.
  I did beat the rain coming into work this morning though.Shortly afterwards it came pouring down.No School Buses out today either,was nice to just breeze right into work.No stopping and going.
  I did exactly what I said I was going to do this weekend,Relax.I did a few things around the house but that was about it.Nothing else.Was nice for a change to do nothing.I sure needed it,I'm always so tired out.For what reason is beyond me.
Well my precious I could do some work here.Definately not busy though.No Construction with the rain.Looks like its stopping though.Probably will pick up if the rain is over with.Okay Darling always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

`Good morning Darling~
  A bright sunny day and it's going to be a hot one.Well today is going to be another day of just relaxing as far as I'm concerned.I just stripped my bed and getting all my linen done and put back together before we go to Gene's this afternoon.That isn't until around 3 o'clock so I'll be here until then.
As soon as my first wash is done I'm going to hit the shower to get that done.
 I woke up early and got a drink and went and laid back down and slept for a couple more hours.Judy was still sleeping so I wanted to stay quiet so I wouldn't wake her up.Now were both up and ready to start our day. After I get my Shower I think I might take a ride to Richie's produce.For some Tomatoes,corn and oranges.Maybe some peppers if their decent size.in the store their $2.99 a lb. I can't imagine what they'll be charging.Well my darling I'm going to get my laundry into the dryer and hit the shower.Always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Hello Honey~
I should be in bed but I had a nap today and now I can't fall asleep.If you were next to me I could.I miss holding hands and drifting off to sleep.After we talk to each other about how our day went.I just love and miss you so much honey.You were my lifeline I hope you know that.I never loved anyone the way I loved you.
  I relaxed today just like I said I was going to do.I finally got dressed and went Grocery shopping.At least thats over with.Not much of anything else to do even tomorrow.Just Gena's Birthday Cookout.But that isn't until around three in the afternoon.So looks like I can sleep in.
 Judy is feeling better this time with the shots she had.God answered my prayers.Her back is still sore from where she had the injections but hopefully it will get better soon.At least she can walk without the cane now.So thats a real good sign.
  Well Gene and Gina took Gena and Brittany to Busch Gardens today and they had a ball.After all that Gena said about why she didn't want to go with her Classmates.Because she wouldn't go on the Roller Coasters.Well the little stinker went on them with Brittany.They had a real good time.I bet they all sleep well tonight,with all that walking they did today.
  I didn't talk to Darlene today at all.I was so tired and wanted to just relax today.Thats what I did to.I spoke to the kids earlier today and Jamie on my way to the store and that was about it.
 Well precious I'm going to get to bed.My back is killing me sitting on this stool.So until tomorrow always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Sweetheart~
  Made it to Friday honey and so glad.I have a terrible headache.My blood pressure must be up because it's that kind of a headache.Hopefully it goes away soon.They changed my Medication and it doesn't work as good.I sent my application in for my health Ins.hopefully it doesn't take to long.I need to get my old Blood pressure medicine back.
Judy is going in for more shots in her back today.Shes a nervous wreck,they hurt and she knows it.I hope and pray they work this time.Shes in so much pain all the time.Well she'll call me when she gets back home.
  I haven't heard from Darlene yet on how their trip is going.Actually I just called her on Randy's phone they had a good time and are headed home around noon today.They both needed  this for sure.
  Well honey today is Gena's Birthday a big 14 yrs.old today.I feel so bad because Gena wouldn't go on her Graduation Field Trip to Busch Gardens because she won't go on the Roller Coasters and didn't want to be by herself all day while her classmates rode all the rides.So Gene and Gina decided to take her and Brittany tomorrow. Brittany came down with the Flu yesterday.So who knows when they'll be going.Nothing ever works out when it's planned.Why is that?
Well my precious I'm going to get to work here and I want you to always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Love~
  Thursday and one more day to go.It's been pretty slow here this week.I'm not complaining though,nice change.Well I still have no plans for the weekend.I just want to relax and do nothing.
  Gene & Gina was having the cookout for Gena's Birthday on Sat. but changed it to Sun.So Sat. is all mine.
  Darlene and Randy headed up by Tampa this morning to see Randy's son.I hope they have a fun safe trip.I know Randy has to be excited to see his son.It's been awhile.
  I know when I haven't seen my kids in awhile I get so excited to get to see them all.I can't wait to see Jamie and her Family and Shirley and Ken.I talked to Shirley the other night and she can't wait to get down here.I know this may sound selfish of me but I wish they were going to spend the two weeks with us down here.But their first week in Florida they'll be at Ken's brothers in Ocala.It's been years since Ken has been here.So it should be alot of fun when they come.
 Jamie has been sick this week and I told her this morning to get it all out of her system before they go on Vacation.It won't be to much fun for her if shes sick.Shirleys sick with bronchitis to.They just got more snow this week and it's alomst April.What a terrible Winter the Northeast had this year.They're all ready for some warmth and sunshine.They'll get it for sure coming here.
Well my precious honey I'm going to get to work.Always remember and never forget how much i love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  Here it is Wednesday the middle of the week with two more days to go.Maybe this weekend I'll get some rest who knows. Gena's Birthday is Friday and Gene & Gina are having a cookout on sat. for her.That's the only thing I have planned for this weekend.
  I have a couple of plants I have to put in new pots for the Pool deck and thats about it.All of about 15 mins. work.The pool water looks so tempting but it's still to cold.I hope by the time My company gets here it's warmed up enough.It probably warm to them but not to me.It's been in the mid 80's for awhile now so it will be getting warmer I'm sure.
 Not much of anything happening around here.I spoke to darlene yesterday and so far Randy is doing very good.Still not smoking.This is what he needed to do we all knew that.I'm proud of him because its a tuff one to break.They leave on Thursday to meet up with Randy's son in Largo.It's just this side of Tampa.I'm sure Randy is excited to see his son.
  I don't know if I told you or not but Michele and her girlfriend moved to Lehigh the beginning of March. Down in the area Gene lives.I stopped by for a few mins.on my way into Ft.Myers to pick up my plants.They have a cute little place.They both work all the time so I don't think we'll be hanging out much.I don't do anything on a work night and they always have Mon.and
Tues. off.
Well my Sweetheart I guess I'll get to work.Always remember how much I love and miss you and never forget. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

Dear Carol,
I just got done reading some of your entries to your deceased husband Frank-I can tell you must have loved him very, very much.  I did not know him-nor have I met you--but am good friends with your sister Judy.  Judy often spoke of you both, and used to speak so highly of Frank.  She said you both were so in love, and Frank treated you so lovingly. I can see that from your daily entries you miss him terribly.  I wish you well--I am glad Judy is down there for you.  Take care-my best to you.
Robin Underwood

~Good morning my Love~
  Tuesday is here and not to busy at the moment.Sun is shining and going to be another gorgeous day here.It's warmimg up pretty fast.Before I know it we'll be able to go in the pool.The water is only 74 degrees right now.To chilly for me.I can't wait to just hang out at the pool and totally relax.
I spend all my time when I'm at home out there now.Always so quiet and peaceful.Listening to my music and just soaking up the sunrays.My kinda day.
I haven't talked to Darlene yet so will definately give her a call later.
  I went by Gene's last night after dinner for awhile.Their yard is really looking so nice.When they get it all done it will be awesome looking.They have such great Ideas and then they do it the way they want it.They work hard out there thats for sure.It was so hot yesterday.After work I changed and went outside to do some yard work and I got so overheated.When I went inside Judy said your face is all burnt,I said it's overheated not burnt.I was right. We get these kind of weeds in the yard and they are very prickily and hurt like the dickens if you step on one or brush up against them.So I was doing that.Boy there was alot of them.They pop up in the damp areas and between our house and Jacobs property line it stays wet for awhile so there was alot in that ares.Not to many in the rest of the yard though.I was thinking about putting the Bird feeders back up until the woodpeckers come.Not in our yard though.My lawn guy mows about 10 feet off of our property line so I was thnking about putting them there.I have to give it some more thought.I definately don't want the woodpeckers pounding away at our house.I enjoy watching all the birds though.Well I might give it a whirl.Maybe with the pool cage they won't bother the house.
Well my precious Darling I'm going to get to work here.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

`Good morning Honey~
Monday morning and I got alot of sleep last night.I felt good when I woke up.I didn't rest this weekend like  wanted to. I drove Gena home Sat. morning and Judy and I went to see the kids from there.What a long ride.Never again will I go the highway to see the kids,way to long.But Gena got dropped off in Bradenton so I just went the highway from there.I didn't think I would ever get there honestly.The kids are as precious as always.Thomas wanted to come home with me the little stinker.If Judy didn't have Drs. appointment today I would have brought him home with us.He's such a good boy.I
might be taking the girls to Disney when Jamie comes down to take Elyssa,
not positive yet.
  I guess I'll have to call Darlene today sometime.I wasn't home so didn't call her all weekend.I guess they'll be going up near Tampa soon.randy's son will be down here doing a job so they're going to take a ride up to see him.I'm not sure which weekend yet. Darlene told me the dates but yoiu know me,Mrs.Forgetful.It's really spring around here already in the 80's everyday.Pretty warm actually.Just a few more weeks and all my company will start rolling in.I can't wait to see everyone.After they all go back Gena and her sister are coming down for a week.So a busy April for me.Then in August Judy and I are flying to Ct. for nine days.
  Sure wish it was you flying with us honey.I miss you so much it's terrible.
I remember the first time you went up there with me.Getting lost in the bedroom was hysterical.I'll never forget that.I love you so much.I hope the weather is good up there.I'm sure it will be in August.
I wish I could afford to take the kids with me they would have so much fun. But it would be to much for me anyways.
Maybe I can get some rest while I'm up there if I'm lucky.
They kids are all doing good and I seen Gene for a few minutes on Friday night.Everyone is doing good.
Well my Love I'm going to get off here and get some work done.Always remember how much I love and miss you and  please never forget. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good Morning My Sweetheart~
  A really foggy start of the day today.
It's finally Friday and what a very tired week I've had.I don't think I got enough sleep all week long.I'm wiped out and hopefully I can rest this weekend.Everything was done last weekend that had to be done so no reason why I just can't relax this weekend.
  Judy has to take her friend Gena back home tomorrow.I don't think I'm going to take the ride up to Bradenton.What I'd like to do is sleep the whole day away.Sounds good to me.
Well honey my Cornbeef and cabbage dinner was a hit.Judy didn't like it but the rest of the girls did.Next time I do it in the crockpot I'm going to skip the apple juice.It took away the actual flavor of the cornbeef in the cabbage and potatoes.I don't know the reason for the recipe calling for apple juice but I put it in.Would have been better without it.Oh well not like I cook it on a weekly basis.
 I spoke to Darlene for quite awhile on the phone yesterday.Both her and Randy are doing good.I was glad to hear that.Randy did quit smoking but is on Darlene all the time to quit.She will when she's ready,that's what she told me.She was making her cornbeef for dinner also.
Well my precious Husband whom I love with all my heart and never want you to forget how much I love and miss you.
I'm going to get some work done here and hopefully stay busy so the day goes by fast. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Hello my Darling ~
 Good morning to you.Another beautiful day here in Sw Florida.This is why I live here.Going to be up in the 80's today.
  Not much of anything going on around here.It is St. Patricks Day,and like I said to everyone the little bit of Irish I had in me was washed off years ago.My Mom had alittle bit in her and that was about it.Look at me do I look Irish? I don't think so.
I did get up this morning and put a Cornbeef and cabbage in the crock pot for dinner.I hope it comes out good.I used a Recipe from Mr.Food "It's soooo Good".I can't wait to try it.It has to cook about 8 hours or so on low.Sure looked good when he did it.So honey "Happy St. Patty's Day to you".
I haven't cooked a Cornbeef in ages.I usually just boil it to death and throw in my veggies and cook away.I felt like something different.I have the Girls for my Guiney Pigs for dinner.
  I tried calling Darlene alittle bit ago and no answer.Randy probably had a Dr. appointment.She'll call me when she gets home.
  I talked to Shirley and Ken last night and they're getting excited to come down also.They won't want to leave.What a horrible Winter they all had up North this year.A lot of "Snow".
I hope they don't have alot of floods. When that stuff starts melting.They probably have quite a bit on the ground still.
  Well there my Precious Husband I will taked to you later.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning honey~
  What a beautiful morning it is here today.Going to get into the 80's today.I hope the humidity is low. Didn't really get the chance to watch it this morning.
  So far it's been slow compared to how it's been here lately.They must be getting ready to start another house because alot of concrete trucks came in this morning.As long as I'm working thats all that matters.
 Not a whole lot going on around here and at home pretty quiet.Judy's friend Gena is still here.She's going back home on Sat.She's been a big help to us really.I came home from work and she had all my windows washed inside and out.They look so nice.That was the last on my Spring cleaning list.Bless her heart.That was sure a big help to me.
Before I know it I'll have a house full of people here.Only a few weeks away.But at least the house is ready for everyone.I miss them all so much and will be nice to have them here.
Well my love I guess I've said enough for today.Always remember and never forget just how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Hi my Love~
  Good morning to you.It has been busy but I don't want to miss getting on here today.
  Honey I miss you so much and it's never going to change.A day doesn't go by I don't have you on my mind.Each and everyday my heart just aches for you.I miss everything about you.You were my love thats for sure.I talk about you all the time honey just to let everyone know what a special person I had,so filled with love and emotions.I can honestly sit here and say I never loved anyone the way I love you.You were my Guardian Angel on Earth and now up above.I love you so very much.I look at those dreamy eyes and that beautiful smile I just want to kiss those soft precious lips of yours.One thing for certain I never once doubted my love for you or your love for me.We were a match made in Heaven,so,so very happy.As long as I live I will never forget all this.
   Elyssa is already counting down the days to come to Florida.Shes so cute.I know she'll enjoy seeing the kids and playing with them.But Mommy and Daddy are taking her to Disney.Shes so very excited about that.I was hoping to take Brook and Marissa when Jamie goes.I haven't really talked to Tommy and Nicole about it yet.They would go crazy there.Look at how excited they got at Universal.But to see all the Characters in person well thats down right special.We'll see when the time comes.I would take Thomas to but I can't keep up with him.He's adorable and I love him to pieces but he is definately filled  with alot of energy.
To much for Nannie to keep up with for sure.I can't wait to actually see all my Grandbabies together again.I love them all so much.
  Okay my love I'm going to get off of the Computer because I'm getting another one of my famous headaches again.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you.  
~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Sweetheart~
   It's a typical Monday morning.Always busy on the day I need it to be slow.I have payroll and schedules to do on Monday's and when it's so busy it keeps me from getting it all done and sent off.
 A gorgeous day today though.I'm sorry I didn't get on line over the weekend but I had alot of running around to do.I had to go into Ft.Myers on Sat. and again on Sun.All my plants and flowers are done.It looks beautiful honey.
  Well you know how bad I was waiting for the Shrimp Festival right?I never got there.I got sick at work on Friday morning and just stuck it out.When I got home I had a fever and was feeling horrible.So I slept a couple of hours and got up still not feeling well.Here today is Monday and I still don't feel good.I have no clue as to why I have a fever.It's a low grade fever but I shouldn't have one at all.If I could have afforded it I would have probably called out today.My dr. changed my Blood Pressure pills and they're not working for me I have horrible headaches  everyday.I'm finally getting my Health Ins. back so I can have my Prescription for the medicine that works.
  Well my love I'm going to get off here because with a headache it's worse being on the Computer for my eyes.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good Friday morning honey~
  Finally Friday and it's so cold out right now.I have the gate house heat on.I woke up this morning and I was so cold,I had my window opened all night. I wont't be doing that tonight.I'm glad I had my mattress heater on.Maybe if I didn't have it on I would have gotten up and closed the window.
   I'm not going right home after work today.I have to go to Lowes to pick up my flowers.I have my Lawncare guy coming over in the morning to plant them for me.Thank God because my back would kill me if I were to do it.So hopefully I find what I'm looking for.
I was going to go home to change first but decided to bring a change of clothes with me to save some time. Being Friday it's going to be busy on the roadways.So it will be closer to leave from work.
   Judy comes home today with Gena. I've missed her not being home.Pat has been staying with me since Judy's been gone.Judy asked her to so I wouldn't be alone.She's like my old Mother Hen.
Well my seetness I'm going to get some work done.Please and never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Love~
   Hi honey and good morning to you.Well it's Thursday one more day to go. Actually this week went by really fast,thank God.I'm really looking to relax a bit this weekend.I have to go to Lowes or Home Depot for my flowers, walmarts flowers are terrible looking this year.I bought a couple of the White Iris's that was about it there.I forgot my potting soil though.So I have to get it when I go out again.I wish I could find plants tolerant to the frost,so I don't have to keep replacing them every year.Some of the flowers I got last year died from the frost but are coming back.I was happy to see that.My Casio tree is nothing but a stick and it really took off last year.So back to square one with that one.The trees we bought are doing good so far.The oak tree we planted in the Memorial for you is doing the best.I was so worried I would lose it from the cold hit we got but it's hardy.I can't wait to see pretty colors again.
   I spoke to Darlene yesterday and they are doing well.We played phone tag for a week.I asked her if she wanted to go out with us Girls but it doesn't look like shes going.She really needs some Darlene time,but refuses to get it.I haven't seen them since last June.Randy being sick and all.Hopefully I will get out there soon.
  I miss her so much.She's always been so close to me.
  Well today we're supposed to get a bad thunderstorm.it was gorgeous out twenty mins. ago and now it's all clouded over.I guess the earlier the better.Maybe with some luck I'll miss the rain going home.God knows how I hate driving in the rain.Well my love I guess I have babbled on enough for now.Never forget how much I love and miss you always. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
  Hi honey good Wed. morning to you.I'm on the phone with Nicole.Brook gives her a hard time getting up in the morning,that little stinker.
Everyday she has to go through this.
She does not want to go to School.She told me she quit.Imagine that 5 yrs. old.Wait until she gets home and I talk to her.
  Well it's going to be nice today but we're supposed to get a bad Thunderstorm tomorrow.I hate driving in that kind of weather.I have to call Judy and tell her she'd be better off coming home today or she's going to be driving in nasty weather tomorrow.You remember coming home from Tampa in heavy rain.We seen like five roll overs that day.Was a big mess.
  I still haven't heard from Darlene yet.I hope everything is alright with Randy.It's not like her not to return my phone calls.I hope shes ok to.
   Well I have decided to just drive to the Shrimp Festival on Sunday morning.They want an arm and a leg to stay down at the beach.Spring break and in season not good deals at all.The girls want to go to the Parrot Key on Sat. night and I'm not driving down there twice in one day.So Parrot Key on Sat.and Festival on Sun.The gas prices are outragious  $3.59 a gallon here now.Thats insane.Everybody is wondering if they'll ever open up the reserves.Pretty soon people aren't going to beable to drive to work.The economy is so bad right now.People are still losing their jobs.I feel so bad.
Wish I could just make everything better for people.
  Well sweetheart nothing much else going on.Please never forget how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good Tuesday Morning my Love~
   Hi sweetheart.Sorry I had something that had to get done and then Mr.Filbert stopped by.So here I am.
   It's another beautiful day here today.Low Humidity and a nice breeze.I'm all syked up for the shrimp festival this weekend.The weather is going to be in the high 70's, perfect.
There's going to be five of us Girls going so it should be fun.Darlene never called me back yesterday.So I hope everything is okay with Randy.I was hoping Darlene would go with us.But she probably won't leave Randy alone.
   I'm going to try calling her again today.
Not much of anything going on here honey.Pat is moving back to Jersey the end of June.Her Daughter that lives here is having a tough time the way the Economy is, so her Husband went to N.Y. Last week for an interview and he was offered a position.As everyone knows the jobs are just about diminished in this area.It's so sad for so many people.I hope it turns around so people don't have to relocate
out of the area.I'm sure it's very hard when you have kids in School.
   Well my precious love I will be getting to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good Monday morning Honey~
   The weekend sure does go by fast.It's already Monday.Judy went up to Gena's for the week and Gena is coming down here with her for a week.  Her daughter is leaving for Colarado today for a week.And she doesn't want to be alone for that long.So I told her to come here and keep Judy company.
   It looks like I'm going to be getting my Healthcare back from work. They'll be calling me to set up an appointment to get enrolled.I don't know what it's going to cost me yet. But I definately need it.So I really can't  decline it.
   I'm talking to Nicole right now and Thomas is talking to me.He's such a handsome little boy.So smart to.They're getting ready for their walk.
 I Haven't talked to Darlene over the weekend.Later today once it slows down here I'll give her a call.
  I wanted to see if she wanted to go to the Shrimp Festival this weekend with all the girls.
Well my love I'm going to get some work done.Payroll is done but I have to do my schedules over because I got rid of an Employee this past weekend.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Hi Sweetheart~
   It's just about dinner time on Sat. evening.Thought I would get a few words in before dinner.
   I had to go to Wally World earlier,what a nightmare that trip was.I had to get salt for the softner and it was packed.
   I spoke to Tommy earlier and they were talking the kids to a Birthday party at one of the parks up there.I'm sure they're all excited.
   I stopped by Gene's before I went to walmart and they're busy working in the yard.Sure wish you could see what they did.It's so beautiful honey.Alot of work though,but it sure shows. Very,very nice.They have a special talent for yard work thats for sure.
   Judy had her shots in her back yesterday and isn't feeling to well today.She's in alot of pain.They told her to put ice on the area they injected but doesn't seem to be working.Maybe tomorrow she'll feel better.Well my precious I'm going to get dinner on the table.Never forget how much I love and miss you.         ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~

~Good Friday morning Honey~
   I just noticied they never posted my Wednesday posting.I don't recall saying anything that would be unappropriate for here.If their not posting it I wish they would let me know what I said that would be off color.I try to review it and I don't think anythig was negative.I'll Email them later to find out.
Well sweetheart I made it to Friday.  This week went by so slow.I don't know why but it just dragged all week long.
   Judy is having her shots for her back today.I sure hope it helps her.If these don't work she'll have to have some kind of surgery done.So I'm praying they work.
  Today is Tony's Birthday.He's 35yrs. today.I just talked to him and wished him a Happy Birthday.
  I'm talking to Jamie right now. Elyssa isn't feeling well.She has a fever.She's been so sick this winter poor baby.Being in school doesn't help either,kids pass alot of germs around.
   It won't be long and they'll all be here.I can't wait.The time just flies by.Shirley and Ken will be here first. I know they're all ready for some nice warm weather.What a horrible winter they all had.I don't miss it up there.
  Well my love I'm going to get some work done here.Never forget how much I love and miss you Darling.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Love~
  What a beautiful Thursday morning.Sun is shining bright and it's a dry day no humidity.Couldn't ask for nicer weather thats for sure. Absolutely gorgeous out.
   Thought I'd get a few words in before I get to busy.I don't know what was going on in Lehigh last night but we had two hellicopters hovering over our area for hours last night.Made Judy and I so nervous we locked up and set the alarm.I asked the Kearnel who lives where I work and he said he had nothing on his blog.He did say that it they had a siting of a Fugitive it wouldn't show up on his blog.So I said oh that makes me feel better.Not by a long shot.I watched the news this morning and there was nothing on the news either.I know we went in the house and to bed just before nine and I woke up just after midnight to go to the bathroom and they were still in the sky.So who knows what was going on.Alittle scarey though.I didn't sleep with my window opened last night.
   Well my love not much of anything else going on here.As I said yesterday I can't wait for the Shrimp Festival next weekend.I didn't talk to Darlene at all yesterday.I got pretty busy towards late morning into early afternoon.So didn't talk to anyone.
   Judy's friend gena is supposed to come visit for a week.Her Daughter and son in law are going to Colorado for a week on Vacation.So it'll be nice Judy will have someone to hang out with all day while I'm at work.She was just here a week and a half ago for Judy's Birthday.Judy drove up and got her because she's afraid to drive down.You know she's used to driving in the woods of Maine.
   Well there my Precious honey going to get some work done here. Never forget how much I love and miss you.   ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good Tuesday morning honey~
   The fog was thick this morning on my way to work.Couldn't see a foot in front of me.It's burning off now.Some rain later I guess,hopefully not until I get home from work.It's going to cool it off a bit to I guess.Lower humidity is good.Still haven't had my A.C. on so thats a good thing.Never got much of a break this year for the Electric bills.It was so cold I had to put the heat on a couple of nights.So another month of no heat or A.C. would be great.
  Well before I know it Jamie and the Family will be here and Shirley and Ken.Ken hasn't seen the house yet.I wanted to go to the Ft.Myers Beach Shrimp Festival and it's going on now.I looked it up online and it said March 12th. and 13 th.,today is March 1st. and this mornings news said it was the second day already.So my guess is the wires were crossed somewheres.They always had it the second week of March. Because my Friend Debbie was always here for it.I'm not sure if it will last into the weekend or not.I sure can't go after work.This is so weird.I know the Spring breakers are here already.It showed them on the News.
   I tried calling Darlene but she didn't answer.She's either still sleeping or had to take Randy for an appointment.My guess is she took Randy,because Darlene is and early riser like me.She'll call when she gets the message.
  Okay my sweetness I'm going to get to work.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

Dear Frank
    I just want you to know what a special person you were to me. I thought the world of you in so many ways. You were special to me for one reason you made my sister smile again. she adord you as we all did. you were a so happy go lucky guy , fun to be around,very loving and caring person. I miss having coffee together talking  and missing all the fun we had when we'd all go out together. I know you would laugh everytime I'd get a hangover but as you know I'd kinda overdo it sometimes but we were all having a good time and thats what mattered.I will always have you in my thoughts prayers and mind. YOU were a great guy I miss and love you as so many of your friends do too. I will take care of Carol for as long as I can and am able to do so. you will never be forgotton but you are sadlly missed by all of us.WE LOVE YOU FRANKIE !!!!!! ALL MY LOVE JUDY

what a great person he was he will dearly be missed from all of us

~Good morning Honey~
   Well Darling it's Monday.Seen my Babies this weekend and they had a great time with Nannie.They were so good.They love it when were there.I'm pooped right out though as always.It was really nice to see them all.I miss them so much.That baby is so precious and smart as a whip.We palyed with them the whole weekend.They played us out for sure.
   Darlene called while we were gone. So I have to give her a call sometime today.
    I can't believe that it's Monday and it's been really slow for a Monday.
I'm not going to complain.Just feels good to get a breather in.
   I'm looking forward to a nice quiet evening at home.I'm really into the Bachelor again this year so I'm looking forward to that tonight.Should be interesting he's down to three women.
    Well precious I'm going to get some work done here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving wife~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
   Made it to Friday,sure did take a long time getting here.It was a long week.After work today I'm headed to Tommy's to see my Babies.I miss them all so much.
   Wasn't to bad of a week but it really dragged on.Maybe because I've been anxious to see the kids.Tommy told them yesterday we weren't going up and they were all upset.Just teasing them of course.
   Tommy's Boss's Mom passed away yesterday.So sad it was the most horrific death honey.She caught herself on fire and burned 80 percent of her body.She was on life support but took her off the machines and later she died.I can't imagine the pain she must of endured.My heart goes out to the Family.I hope this doesn't sound to cold but I know she is much better off now than if she were living with the pain being burned so badly. God Bless her. 
   I haven't talked to Darlene in a few days so I will be giving her a call here soon.I don't know how Randy's Drs. appointment went.Hopefully
it went well.No news is good news.
   Gertie is in the Hospital but will be coming home today I guess.She had low Blood pressure,low potassium and was dehydrated.She's doing much better now.They took her off alot of her Meds.And wanted to watch her to make sure she didn't have any complications that's why they kept her an extra day.
But she'll be coming home later on today.She's such a sweet lady.We all love her so much and watch over her.
   So my precious honey I'm going to get some work done here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.
~Forever and always your loving Wife~
Carol

   Hi my darling.Half way through the work week two to go.Then I'm headed to go see the kids this weekend.Tommy's Birthday was yesterday so I'm going up so they can at least go out to dinner without the kids or maybe we'll all just go together.I miss my Babies and they go nuts when they see me.Honey that Thomas is such a doll.Cute as could be and so smart.I love them all so much.
   It's going to be hot over the weekend to.This morning they said high of 84 for both Sat.and Sun.,thats pretty hot for February.At least the kids can play outside.They love it outside and they got a new swing set for Christmas from Mommy and Daddy.If it's all put together yet.It's huge Tommy said its and 8 hour job to assemble it.I know he started it.It's been so cold up until a week ago.So he may have to finish it.Maybe we all can help out who knows.
    I spoke to Darlene yesterday and so far Randy is doing good.He did have a Doctors appointment but don't know how that went.I'll talk to her later.
  Well my precious honey guess I'll get to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol


~Good Morning Sweetheart~
  It's Tuesday and so far hasn't been crazy busy.So I'll take advantage of the calm right now.I almost didn't come to work this morning.I didn't feel well all night long.Sure didn't get sleep.I tossed and turned all night long.My Doctor changed my blood pressure pills to something different and I don't know if this is from the pills or not.I'm going to call them this morning.I just have this really wierd sensation throughout my body.
Numbing and tingling in my hands,arms and legs.I've been getting bad charlie horses in my right leg and foot.I have no clue whats wrong but I feel really wierd.
   Well today is Tommy's Birthday,28 years old.I'll call him in alittle while to wish him a Happy Birthday. This is the last in February. Gena is next in March.A lot of Birthdays in February though.
   I haven't talked to Darlene since last week.She called Judy to wish her a Happy Birthday but I didn't talk to her then.I'll give her a call to.That's if it slows down here for awhile.So far quiet but I don't want to jinx myself.
   I can't wait until April gets here so I can see my Jamie and her family Shirley and Ken.Sure wish Jamie could stay for a couple of weeks to.Although Shirley and Ken won't be at our House for the full two weeks.They're going to Kens brothers house in Ocala for a week first.Then here for the second week.It will be nice.I miss everyone so much.But not as much as I miss my Darling.I just love you so much!!You lit up my life honey and I was the luckiest woman walking holding your hand.So always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~Carol

~Good morning my Precious Husband~
  It's early but I don't know if I'll get A Chance to get on here at work.I have payroll and schedules to do today and it's been so busy.
  Well Darling Judy's Birthday Party went well.If only everyone would have shown up.Thats ok they missed a great time.Sure wish I would have had my dancing partner with me.I miss you so much honey and all the great times we had together.You were my life and the love like no other.Always remember that.
   A long work week ahead of me I'm sure.I dread even going to work.Not that I don't love my job but the company hasn't anything to offer.I've been trying to get my Healthcare back and still nothing.I have to have Ins.,but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.Maybe I'll hear something this week,who knows.Well my sweet love I'm going to get on my way to work.If I have a chance I'll get back on here.Always remember how much I love and Miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Love~
  I'm so sorry I didn't get on here yesterday.I had to train someone at work yesterday so I didn't take my Laptop to work.And I was so tired last night.The girls wanted to go to the Legion for Burger night,I never eat the Burgers because they don't agree with me. But last night htey were cooked on a Grill so I thought well maybe they won't bother me.Boy was I wrong.My stomach killed me all night.I couldn't wait to get home.I got up this morning and my stomach still hurt,it seems to be alright now.I guess it's just to greasy for my stomach.Ever since I had my surgery I have to be very careful as to what I eat.
   Well Darling Judy's Birthday is on Monday so I'm going to have a Birthday Party for her Sat. night.She knows were going out but not about the party.She'll be surprised I'm sure.They opened the new eagles Club where that Restaurant was by the Mini Golf a 6th. and Williams.It's very nice.So we will be going there.They have a Live band playing there on Sat. night.So there's about 8 or 10 of us Girls going to be there.It'll be fun.Just wish my dancing partner was going to be with me.Lord knows how much I miss you.
   Tommy's Birthday is on Tuesday hard to believe he's going to be 28 years old.He's already pushing 30.I remember my 30th. Birthday as though it was yesterday.What a long time ago that was.Okay my love I'm going to get to work here.Always remember how very much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  Hi my Darling.What a nice day it's going to be today.It's supposed to be 80 degrees.It's nice without the humidity.
I have a tummy ache this morning though.Everyone here at work has been sick and I've tried to stay my  distance from them because I don't want to catch anything.I just hope it's a temporary thing.I don't want to be sick.Not that anyone does but you know what I mean.
   Well Judy's Birthday is Monday so a bunch of us Girls are taking her out Sat. night to celebrate.I hope she has a good time.Her Friend Gena is coming down tomorrow for the weekend so she can go out with us.I asked Darlene but shes not sure.I hope she does it's been so long since I seen her.
  I guess the Northeast is starting to thaw out alittle bit.Supposed to get to 50 up there all week.I just hope they all don't get flooded out,once all that snow and ice starts to melt. I'll just keep praying for them all.Ok my precious Husband I'm going to get back to work here.Property Management will be coming through the Gate here pretty soon.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Darling~
   Well I made it through Traffic School last night.I sure hope I learned a good lesson from this.I surely don't want to go through that again. Now I know how you felt honey. I  thought I'd be the oldest one in the class boy was I wrong.There were 14 people in the class 10 women and 4 men. And the majority of them were around my age.Two young kids in their 20's. The class sure does make you think though I can tell ya that.
   Honey you will never guess who got Married yesterday other than Shannon & Kevin. Edwin and his Girlfriend.I was shocked.They never told anyone,it was a supprise he said.I'm happy for them he really love's her.They have two babies both under a year old.God Bless them.
   I went to get something out of the cabinet here at work this morning and the whole cabinet came crashing down.It fell completely off the wall.It hit my left elbow and my left knee.I'm okay though.Thank God it wasn't Ellie here and that happened.It would have hurt her really bad.She's so short and giving her age she more than likely wouldn't get out of the way fast enough and it would have fallen right on her.But I'm fine.
   Well my Sweetheart I'm going to get to work.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Happy Valentines Day to my one and only Sweetheart~
  Good morning Darling.It's Monday and I have a terrible headache.I just took something for it so hopefully it goes away.I have Traffic School tonight after work and I sure don't want to be there with this pounding headache.
   Not only is it Valentines Day honey but it's Niki's 17 th. Birthday too.I can't believe he's seventeen today.Seems like yesterday he was born.He is such a handsome young man and God knows how much I love him.
   Well my love this is a very empty Valentines Day for me.I miss my Valentine so much. I'll remember always the Valentines Day cards you sent especially when you sent the identical card two years in a row.You must of liked what it said honey.
   I'm talking to Darlene and Randy is doing really good.Today Darlene's son Kevin and Shannon are getting married down on the Beach in Sanibel tonight at sunset.It should be a very nice Wedding though.Alittle cold.The Radio Station is sponsoring it,they are marrying 48 couples.Darlene and Randy will be the only family members there,everyone else has to work.
   Well there my most Precious Husband I'm going to get to work here.Happy Valentines Day again Darling and always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving wife ~ Carol

~Good Morning Honey~
  Friday and oh what a day.Nothing worse than finding out at 9:00 in the morning your stuck at work until 4:00 before your day actually starts.Donna is sick and my relief can't make it in until 4:00,so here I'll sit.What a horrible week I've had.Looking forward to a couple of days off.God know's I need it.I didn't get home until 4:40 last night from work because my relief never showed up and I had someone else coming in and had to wait for him to get here.This crap really stinks.Oh well at least I'm working.I hate it though.I just can't wait until 3:00 on Fridays and now 4:00 today.
   Judy went down to get her Florida License this morning and now back home looking for her Divorce papers she has to show them.Only because she changed her name back to her maiden name after she got Divorced.So she wasn't a happy camper.I appoligized to her I should have told her about all the new changes and I completely forgot.
   well Sweetheart I'm going to get to work here,I have to change my payroll again for Monday.At least I have two hours overtime.I'll take it.
  Alway's remember honey how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good Morning Honey~
  Hi darling and a wonderful good morning to you.Looks like a rainy day for here today.Not alot though from what they're saying.We could use some though for sure.
   Well my love there isn't much going on in here right now.But in a split second I can get bomb barded.I just got back on here 10 mins. straight I was busy.Now I have to try and find coverage for Donna's shift,she just called off.Darling I feel like I'm cutting this short but I have to start making phone calls.I don't want to be here until 11 tonight.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and alway's your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
   Today is Wednesday and it's cold outside.Supposed to try and hit 70 degrees today.Sure doesn't look or feel like it's going to make it.We'll see.
    I've been so darn busy here at work. Friday can't get here fast enough.Crazy,crazy days.These drivers in the back are still taking down the  back gate arms.Even after property management put up a hugh sign reading one vehicle at a time.It's now a $300.00 fine for running the gates and for damages.They will learn sooner or later.
  I didn't get a chance to speak to Darlene yesterday.I went home and laid down for awhile,got up made dinner ate,took a shower watched The Biggest Loser and went to bed for the night.So I'll try and call her today sometime.
  As for the Notheast weather  according to Jamie they're saying it might miss Ct.Thank God they have no place to put anymore.
   Well sweetheart I have the Company that hit the arms coming here so I have to get off here and alway's remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and alway's your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning my precious Husband~
  A nice day here not going to be to hot.Just below 70 is the prediction,I'll take it.
  Today is Tuesday and thought well i have Monday out of my way,Tuesday has got to be a better day.Boy was I wrong.
It's like repeating Monday.So,so busy and this phone is going to drive me nuts today,doesn't stop ringing.Going to be a long week I can tell already.I have all these huge trucks trying to come through the front gates and it isn't happening.I just turn them around I don't care.I'm not losing my job for them.
  Well baby I will try to get back on here later.Always remember how much i love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
   Well Monday morning has arrived. Very foggy ride in this morning again. I hate the fog.But I left early because I knew I wasn't going to see well on the way here.The thing I hate is the kids waiting for the School Buses.Thank God I know where to watch for them.Also the hour I drive through is all High Schoolers.So I don't have to worry about a little one darting into the road.
   Well The Green Bay Packers took the Superbowl.I have to say they deserve it because the Steelers fumbled so many times and pretty much handed the Game to GB.Well enough said about that.
   Not much of anything happening around here.Judy and I weren't feeling well all day yesterday.I was up and down all day.Glad I feel better today.I do believe Judy was able to keep her dinner down so hopefully it was only a 24 hour bug.
  I talked to both Darlene and Randy yesterday.Randy sounded good.He was anxious to watch the game.All of them big on the Superbowl.Not me I taped it and went to bed.Have to get up early  and didn't know it was going to be foggy.So glad I woke up earlier than usual.
  Well my love I guess I'll get back to work for now.It kind slowed down alittle so I was trying to get in here before it got busy again.Traffic starting to pick up so until next time Darling always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Hi my love~
   Just to let you know it's Superbowl Sunday.Not that I have any interest in it but you may.The Steelers are playing against Greenbay.I know you always rooted for the winning team not really caring much who wins.Same here.I know it won't be on my TV this year.
  I have dinner in the oven and will more than likely go to bed shortly after we eat.Both Judy and I aren't feeling well.Haven't been to far to pick up anything but whatever it is we both have it this time.I've been in and out of bed all day and she's back there now.It probably doesn't make much sense to cook dinner but I have to cook the meat up.If we don't feel up to eating I'll pop it into the fridge and dinner for tomorrow night.
  I haven't heard from anyone except for Jamie this weekend.She was about to start getting ready for an adult Birthday Party. Niki's Aunts Mom's B.D.I think I got it right.Nothing from Darlene since Friday. They're probably getting ready to celebrate the Superbowl.You know how Pat and Jordan are with Football.Well there my loving Husband I will talk to you later.Always remember how much I love and miss you.  ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my love~
   Finally Friday Darling.What a long week.The weather is your kind of weather honey,nice and warm.You'd be sitting out by the pool right now having your coffee.I miss having our breakfast outside to.Beautiful weather here,can't complain about that.
   Not a whole lot going on here and just another relaxing weekend planned.The only thing I didn't get done last weekend was I never got the car washed.So that will be first on my list.Then nothing but relaxing in
order.I could sure use some of that.
  Well honey Randy is back home and so far doing well.I spoke to Darlene and so far everything is good.I bet they're both gald he's home.It's alot of running back and forth and very tiring to boot.
   Well my sweetness I'm going to get to work and I will be back tomorrow.Alway's remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and alway's your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Sweetheart~
   Today is Thursday and it's so foggy outside.It was hard to see coming to work.But I got here safe and sound thank God.I guess the Northeast is in for another storm on Sat.They are buried up there.Until Yesterdays storm they had 76 inches so far this winter. All of them are so tired of snow.Can't say as I blame them.
   I'm talking to Darlene right now and Randy is doing okay.He has a sitter in his room now because he keeps thinking someone is after him like before.Other than that he's doing fine.Darlene did find out yesterday that they weren't giving Randy one of his Medications and this may be the cause for him feeling this way.So hopefully they get his Meds. all straightened out.
   Marissa is doing good, her little finger is pretty sore but she's a little tuffie.Poor baby it looks terrible.
   Judy went for her test yesterday and they actually said her stomach looks better than the last time they did it.So hopefully everything turns out okay for her.
   Well my love I'm going to get to work and always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
  Wednesday and beautiful weather here in SW Florida.At least 81 degrees for today.
   As for the Notrheast again they are getting hammered up there.The 9th. storm for them.Absolutley crippling the whole Northeast.
  I'm on the phone with Wanda right now and it's nothing but freezing rain right now.Roads are treacherous.
  I spoke to Darlene yesterday and Randy is in the heart unit now,but doing much better.She'll call me today with an update.
   As for Marissa she's doing good. Tommy said she had 9 or 10 stiches poor baby.She's going to be petrified of the Doctors now.She's going to be so sore for awhile though.I hate seeing the kids get sick and hurt.It just turns my stomach.I just love my Babies so much.
   Judy is going to have a test done today around 11 this morning for her stomach.I pray everything will turn out ok.
   Well my precious Husband I'm going to get to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.  
     ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
   Well it's Tuesday and the Northeast is getting hammered right now.This is supposed to be their worse storm in twenty years.I spoke to Jamie on her way into work and told her to stop by Lowe's on her way home to pick up a couple of those battery operarted Lanterns in case they lose their power.They're supposed to get alot of icing with this storm and up to 3" of snow per hour.So more than likely they'll lose power.I feel so bad for them this year has been horrible on them as far as snowstorms.Already they have had 3 or 4 major snowstorms and the news is saying this is a crippling storm.I just pray Jamie gets home from work before it gets really bad out.They closed all the Schools up there already so Nick is home today.So much for the Northeast.
   I got a phone call from Nicole last night,she was in the ER with Marissa.She caught her little finger in her Princess chair and cut it right to the bone.She almost had her little finger severed.That stupid chair was supposed to lock and it didn't.I told Tommy to find out the Manufacturer of it and do a Consumer report on it.For some reason the chair never locked in place and when she sat down on it of course she had her hands there and it folded right up on her finger.She had to have stitches but not sure how many.Nicole said she lost count because she had to hold her down while they stiched her.Poor baby.I'll talk to Nicole today to see how she made out.Well darling I'm going to get to work.Alway's remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Good morning to ya Darling ~
  Well it's finally Firday.Some days just drag on and then some seem to fly by.Oh well at least the weekend is here.Relax time and try to get all my paperwork together for the Taxman..Don't know what it will turn out to be but hopefully I won't have to pay.It's so depressing when you work all year,expecting a good outcome and it seems you owe Uncle Sam.That would stink.Well I'll see next week.
  A cool start this morning but getting warmer as the morning goes along.Not to sure of how the weather is going to be for the weekend.
   Darlene finally got the chance to call me back yesterday.Randy is at home and doing good so far.Thank God.
Hopefully Darlene can rest at least her mind for awhile.
   I just went outside and in the sun it's warm but the shade is cold.You know how that is.Doesn't much matter no plans for me just relaxing this weekend.I look forward to the weekends but it's sad that I don't have you to share them with anymore.Usually by Fridays we had pretty much our whole weekend planned out.Not any longer honey.I don't go out to dance because I lost my precious dance partner.Don't
even have the desire to go out to dance.All I do is watch everyone else and just dream of us being on the Dance floor.I just miss and love you so much.I'll never except the fact that your gone.I know it won't be forever and we'll be right in each others arms again.I miss you holding me,and telling me how much you love me.
And that big bright beautiful smile of your's.Honey never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  A cold start this morning but snow free.I was just talking to my friend Wanda in Ct. and they have 18" of snow and it's still snowing.The heck with that stuff,they can keep it.I think the amount of snow they've gotten so far can be measured in feet now.Better them than us.
   Still have not heard from Darlene about Randy.I'm not calling her again until she answers my calls.This doesn't look good.Maybe he didn't get released from the Hospital.I don't know.
  I haven't heard from Jamie this morning.Probably buried in snow I'm sure.They're hating it and can't wait until Spring.If they even get a spring.
You know how the Weather is up North. With all this snow to be melted away there's going to be floods all over.At least Jamie and them and Shirley and Ken will be here in April.The news just said more snow for the Northeast is on it's way.They've gotten over 3 feet so far up there.
   We stopped by Gene's last night for a bit.We haven't been there awhile.Everyone has been sick so we've all stayed away from each other. They're doing pretty good though.From what I could tell.Well my Darling I am going to get to work here before it starts to get real busy.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Darling~
   I thought I might try to get on here early if I can finish. It gets so busy here.But I'm going to try anyhow.
   Was nice out this morning when I got up but it's not going to last.We're supposed to get alot of rain starting this afternoon and into the night.Really bad thunderstorms accompained with the rain.I hate storms like that as you already know.So once I get home thats where I'll be to stay.I'm on the phone with Jamie right now and it's snowing again up there.Boy oh Boy have they ever gotten alot this year.Jamie said it's all ice under the snow and accidents all over the place.I just hope she's carefull.I can't wait until April so I can see all of them.I miss them all so much.I'd give anything to have them all live down here.But Nick has one more year of school left.Then they may head this way.It would be so nice to have all my kids with me.
   I don't know how Randy made out yesterday because Darlene didn't call me back yet.I know it was Pat's Birthday yesterday so she probably went out to dinner with all of them last night.I know her Grandaughter posted something on her Facebook about going out to dinner with the Family. Well my love I guess I'll have to get to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Hello my Precious Honey ~
   Sorry didn't get on here this weekend.The kids were down and you know how that is.They need Nannie's attention all the time.They're getting so big and Beautiful.I miss them so much.But Tommy and Nicole had a very nice weekend.They went out Sat. night for Nicole's Birthday and their Anniversary.I enjoyed having the kids.They're good for Nannie when Mommy and Daddy aren't around.Funny how that works huh?
   Well sweetie I spoke to Darlene and Randy has to have a stent put in because of the congested heart failure.It's supposed to be done today and as long as everything goes well he'll be able to go home tomorrow.Let's just pray everything goes well.
   It was a cold weekend and now we're supposed to have some warm days and right back to the cold.A real crazy winter here this year.And worse for the Northeast.They got another six inches over the weekend and more coming on Wed.They're all hating the weather up there.
  Honey I miss you so much and you know the kids still talk about you.Marissa asked me when I took them for their baths in my Bathroom which sink was your's.God Bless those little darlings.I know in my heart you meant the world to them also.Marissa just loved you to pieces.And look at how Brook was when she was a baby with you.You always played with them and showed nothing but love for them.Also remember when Brook was born that was our initial getting hooked date.We all miss and love you with all our hearts.You were the perfect man honey in every way.I know you know how much I love and miss you.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning my Love~
  It's finally friday and it's not going to be a very nice weekend.Cloudy already and the temp.is going to drop.Another cold front moving on in.Low 60's for the daytime highs.Oh well still no snow to worry about.The north is getting hammered again.I feel so bad for all of them up there.Shirley and Ken booked their tickets to come here in April.They need a break from all this cold and snow.Their going to be down here from April 9th. to April 22nd.,Jamie and them will be here from April 19th. to April 26th. it will be nice to have them all here.I miss all my Family up North and am hoping to go up in August.Judy and I.Maybe Gena will go with us so she can meet all her cousins she's never met.She would love it up there.
  Well Sweetheart I spoke to Darlene last night and she was so upset.Randy is back in the Hospital and they did a cat scan on Randy and they found a tumor on one of his lungs.He also had alot of fluid built up and they gave him lasix and he got rid of a whole gallon of fluid just one time to the restroom.Now they're afraid he may have more tumors and will be giving him further testing for this.Darlene is a total basket case.I'm praying for Randy but also I am so worried about Darlene.She can't be strong through all this because she is so run down herself.She's neglecting herself to take care of Randy and she needs to see a Dr. to.All we can do is say alot of prayers that maybe they can remove the Tumor and don't find it anywhere's else.God Bless them both.I love them honey you know that.Darlene is my best Friend down here and I'm just so worried for her.So please ask the Dear Lord to watch over both of them for me.
  Today is Nicole's Birthday and I guess their going to come down for a visit this weekend.Their 1st. year Anniversary is Sunday to.I can't wait to see my Babies.God knows how much I love and miss them.Ok Darling, I'm going to get to work here and please never forget how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~ Good morning Darling ~
   Hopefully a better day than yesterday for me.It was horrible and don't want to repeat that day anytime soon.I honestly couldn't wait for 3:00 to get here yesterday.A nightmare of a day.
  So my love the sun is shining and were supposed hit 77 degrees today and then it's going to cool down a bit for the weekend.That figures because the kids are supposed to be here.They love to be outside so hopefully it's not to bad.I just hope everyone is well I don't want another cold like I just got over.I miss them so much and I always love to see them.All my babies I love and miss so much.
   Jamie is sick now and I haven't heard from her yet.I hope she got some rest last night. She really felt terrible and was so exhausted.She said she was so restless only tossed and turned the night before.I'm going to give her a call here in alittle bit.I don't want to wake her up.
   I still haven't heard back from Darlene.I called her Tuesday and again last night.No call back yet.
   Would you believe the Northeast is going to get another snowstorm tomorrow and again next week.They are buried in snow.Yet Maine has barely enough to cover the ground.So weird.
  Well my sweetness I guess I'm going to try and call Jamie before I get to busy here.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving wife ~ Carol

 ~ Good morning my Love ~
  Looks like a beautiful day in store for us here today.Very nice out.The Northeast not so nice.Freezing rain when Jamie called me on her way to work this morning.Also in for another snowstorm on Thursday.They have so much snow up there already.David said Maine hasn't gotten anything.The grass still shows through the amount of snow they've had so far.Judy's Grandsons aren't liking that to much.They want to take their snow sleds out and not enough snow to drive on.They should count their blessings maybe they'll have a real Spring this year,instead of five feet of snow to melt away first.I know I wouldn't be complaining.
  I talked with Darlene yesterday and Randy is hanging in there. He has an enlarged Prostate that they're going to be watching.Other than that he's doing well so far.
  Sure is a pretty day out though.Was very foggy this morning on my way into work.
   Elyssa is feeling better, shes back to her ole self,that little stinker.
Well honey I'm waiting for my Boss to pull in any minute so 'm going to say goodbye for now.Always remember how much I love and miss you.
~~Forever and always your loving Wife~~
             ~~~~~~ Carol ~~~~~~

~Good morning Honey~
  Well we went to Keywest and I got a speeding ticket.This time it's a hefty fine of $255.00 and Traffic School.I guess I'll never learn my lesson.I just have a heavy foot and now I'm paying for it.Other than that the trip went very well.It was nice to see Judy see her son and my Nephew.He's actually going to be here (Keywest)until the 30th.He wants to try and get a few days off to come over for a visit.I hope he does that will be nice.Gene and Tommy would love to see him.It was so busy down there as usual the place was mobbed.We couldn't even find a room for the night in the area.I had to drive out of Keywest about 60 miles before I could find a Motel with Vacancies.So finally around 9:30 P.M. I found a place.I was so tired of driving.
  I haven't talked with Darlene since I got home.I'll give her a call later.
  The weather is beautiful right now and the whole time we were down in the Keys was warm.Were supposed to get some rain later on today here.But it's nice out now.
  I wish you were with me down there.I miss you so much and everytime I hear Music I want my dancing partner(you Darling).I love you so,so much.I just love and miss you with all of my heart.
  Well Elyssa has a very bad cold,no pneumonia thank God.Jamie said she vomited a couple of times also.So hopefuuly this will soon be gone.These poor kids have been so sick all winter.
  Well Sweetheart I have to send out my Supply List and email my Boss for an incident that occured over the weekend.Always remember how much I Love and Miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Hi Honey~
  I came home from work today not feeling to good.I laid down as soon as I got here and slept for awhile.Not to bad right now.I honestly think I have a traveling fobia.Whenever I plan a trip I get this way.We are planning on going to the keys this weekend and this happens.I'll have to see how I feel later on.
  I talked with Darlene finally and Randy is doing good,alot better than before.They had to adjust his medications and now he seems better.Thank the Dear Lord.I don't think Darlene could have handled much more.
  I spoke to Jamie this morning and now Elyssa is sick.She was taking her into the Doctor around 2 ish.I sure hope she's going to be ok.Jamie was so worried about her.She said she hopes she doesn't have pneumonia.I hope she doesn't either.Poor babies they have all had their turns being sick. Everyone as far as that goes.
  It's this crazy weather pattern were having isn't helping things.Well my Darling always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning my Precious Husband~
  Oh boy is it cold out this morning.I got to work early today and thought I might get a chance to visit your site before I got to busy.
  Everyone up North is buried in snow honey.Most places got just about 3 feet of the fluffy white stuff.Cars are buried in snow.Wanda couldn't even get out of her house.Her front door was buried.What a huge mess it's going to be on the roadways up there today.I just pray they're all carefull.I DON'T miss that at all.
  I forgot the head band to cover my ears with,I thought it was in the car but it wasn't.The wind is brutal on my ears.It's only in the 20's with the windchill factored in.Thats cold for here.This is our fourth cold snap this year and it's going to be cold again tonight.Nothing sounds better than crawling into my nice warm bed.That heated mattress pad is absolutely wonderful.Best money ever invested.I know I have it on everynight.I bought one for Gene & Gina's bed.It's funny because Gene doesn't even have his side plugged in.Gina says he puts his feet on her side to warm them up.Like I used to do to you honey.I wouldn't need mine if my honey was laying next to me to keep me warm.I love and miss you so much honey.
  Well I still haven't heard from Darlene yet.I guess she's so busy taking care of Randy.She doesn't get a chance to call.Well Darling I guess I should get to work here.Never forget how much I love and miss you honey.~ Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Love~
   Didn't think I was going to get a chance to even get on here from work. It's been a crazy day and very busy.But here I am for now.
   Well it's back to the cold again honey,going to be in 30's tonight.Even now it's very cold with the wind.They said it was supposed to only get to 60 and lower inland.But as I said yesterday better than snow.Up North they have 23" and it's still coming down.God Bless them.Everyone is snowed completely in.They sure have had their share of the fluffy white stuff this year.
  I tried calling Darlene again and no answer.Waiting for a return call from her.Hopefully Randy is doing okay.No news is good news as they say.
  I think I told you I was driving Judy to the Keys this weekend to see her son.It's not a bad drive really.I drove it before and it was actually a nice day trip.I made it in five hours.We're going to stay the night there and drive home in the Daylight.
You know me I can't see at night.So hopefully the weather is nicer down there.Well my Darling I'm going to get to work.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  It's Tuesday and so foggy outside right now.Thank God I didn't have to drive in it coming to work.Thats very unusual because Lehigh is always foggy when theres fog out there.I hit very little coming down 82.So glad because when its thick with fog I can't see a foot in front of me.Makes me very nervous with the kids waiting for the School buses.
  Well honey my prayers worked Jamie's test results came back good.Thank the Dear Lord.I was saying my prayers last night when I went to bed and I don't even remember it I got to finish them, I was so tired.I was worried sick about her.I love my Jamie with all my heart and it would devastate me if anything were to happen to her or any of my Kids for that matter.They're all I have.
  I lost you and don't think I could live with myself if something were to ever happen to any of my kids.I love them all with all my heart.
  I'm going to take Judy down to the Keys this weekend to see her oldest son, David.He'll be training on base down there.It'll be nice to see him to.
I haven't seen him since Jamie & Tony's Wedding.I tried to talk Gene into going but don't know if he will.I know David would be very suprised to see him.
  I'll be calling Darlene here shortly to see how Randy's doing.Hopefully all good news.Well my sweet precious Honey I guess I'll get back to work.Always remember and never forget how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Sweetheart~
  It's freezing again outside.Alot of snow up North though.Snow comimg down everywheres.I went out to the pool deck and it's pretty cold out there.A nice day to become a couch potato and watch some good movies.
  I have some laundry to do and thats about it for today,nothing else I have to do.So it's going to be a full day of relaxing for a nice change.
  Darlene never called me back so I don't know whats going on with Randy right now.Hopefully she calls me today.I did call her but she never returned my call.So I'm guessing Randy did go home and shes so busy taking care of him she can't get back to me.
  Well my Darling guess I'll make my breakfast so my day can get started here.I love and miss you so much honey and always remember that. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
   I was on here earlier and had everything ready to post and boom hit the wrong key and lost everything I wrote.So I went and laid back down for awhile.
  I just hooked up the surround sound on the pool deck.Remember what a hard time I had when I did it before? Wasn't as bad this time.
  I did exactly what I said I was going to do after I got home from work.I went to bed and slept a couple of hours.Had dinner played a few rounds of Rummiecube with the girls and went right back to bed.I've been exhausted lately.
  I haven't talked with Darlene today but yesterday she said Randy was supposed to go home.I haven't heard from her so I'm guessing he's back home.
   Honey Jamie has to go for some test today and one thing the Dr. is testing her for is ovarian cancer.I have prayed and prayed and asked the Dear Lord to spare my Beautiful Daughter that awfull disease.I hope she gets good news honey so please ask our Dear lord to give Jamie good news.I wish I could be with her right now.I know she's probably worrying herself sick over this.I love and miss her so much.I would give anything to have her here with me.
  Well sweetie I guess I should get in the shower.I want to go to Richies for some of their nice tomamtoes.They opened last Friday and I haven't been there yet.
  Always remember just how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Good Morning My Darling~
  Hi honey, finally Friday.Time to rest this weekend.I'm exhausted and feel like crap still.The weather is changing back to cold again and the following week back to the warmer weather.This is how everyone gets sick.Like I said before it could be worse if we got the snow to go along with this cold.The Northeast is in for more snow tonight.
  I just got off the phone with Darlene and she said Randy might be coming home today.Apparently he's doing alot better since he's been in the Hospital.They've got a better handle on his medications to.So hopefully he does better at home this time.Darlene sure sounds pooped right out.She's been so busy taking care of Randy that she neglects herself.She'll be the first to admit it to.I told her to make sure she gets herself into a Dr. for her back and legs.So hopefully she listens.
  Randy's pain management Dr.is going to do something to Randy so he can have the Surgery he needs.To control the pain and get a handle on the mersa.So he'll get better if all this works for him.
   Well honey I'm going to get to work.I love and miss you so much honey and I'll be talking to you soon.Always remember how much I do love and miss you.~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~ Good Morning Honey ~
  Well I tried to get on here at home last night and again this morning and for some strange reason I can't get online at home.I'm going to call Century Link today when I get home.Judy can get online but my wireless can't.
  It's a drearey day here again today.It's supposed to get cold again over the weekend.No wonder everyone is sick.Poor Little Marissa, it was her Birthday yesterday and now she has that stomache virus going around.Some nice Birthday present for her huh? Well shes the last to get it hopefully it will be outta the household now.Everyone has been sick with something or the other.I've been fighting this cold for a week now.To hear my voice you would think it's really bad. Sounds worse than it actually is.I feel alot better than I did at first.
   Randy according to Darlene has showed some improvement being in the Hospital.I haven't talked with her today.But I will soon.I hope that shes at least getting alittle rest while she can. Knowing Darlene, she more than likely isn't.She can't continue to push herself the way she does.Well sweetheart not much of anything else going on here.Gina's Birthday is today and hopefully she has a good day. They've been sick to.I haven't been over there since Christmas. I just don't want to pass what I have to anyone.Gene has the cold like I do.He said he's the last one in his household to get it.I just hope I don't give it to Judy.I've been keeping my distance from everyone.Just be glad when everyone is healthy again.
  Well my precious love guess I'll get to work. Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~ Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~Hi my Darling Husband~
   Well I trained two people today so that will be it for awhile.I was so tired and felt kinda yucky all day.Judy and I are going to go eat and coming home to relax.I'm just drained of all my energy.
  Well I spoke to Darlene today and Randy is back in the Hospital.More tests are being ran on him and the Doctor mentioned Parkinsons to Darlene.So they're going to check for that now.Something has to be making him shake so bad.other than that he fell and cut his leg and now Darlene is worried that the Mersa will come back now with that open cut.I pray they find out whats going on with him not only for randy but for Darlenes sake to.She's going to go outta her mind worrying about him.
  Well my precious lovable honey I'm going to go eat and will be back soon.Don't ever forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning Honey~
  I'm still feeling like crap but at work anyways.If I can get through the day when I get home I'm going to get some rest for sure.
  It's kind of a dreary day here looks like it's gong to rain.I actually hit some drizzle on my way to work.But it had stopped before I got here.
  Honey I love you so much and miss you more than you would ever know.Nothing is the same at home without you there.I just hear certain songs and it makes me sad all over again.I am having such a hard time excepting that your gone and don't know if I'll ever get over this.You were my life.You loved me unconditionally and treated me like no other.Our love was so strong and we were so very happy together.Why did our Dear Lord take you from me? I'll never know. Like I said before you were my Guardian Angel and I guess God wanted you for that purpose.Your a wonderful,loving,caring person honey and I'm sure he knew all that.I just know I don't want you to ever forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Hello my Love~
   Again I lost my connection and lost everything I wrote to you.Sometimes this gets me so mad.
   Well another wrap for Christmas and New Years.I spent the whole day just about packing up Christmas.I'm so tired.I sat down to write to you and I was just signing off and lost everything again.The internet went down and I din't know it.
  I never got on here Friday because I was supposed to be training someone.Therefore I left my Laptop home.When I got up Friday I was sick so when I got to work I sent my Trainee home and told him to come on Tuesday and I would train him with a girl I have to train.Thats ok I'll get them done together and hopefully that will be it for awhile.I just felt like crap all day.My head felt like is was about to explode.I was so clogged up in my sinuses. Now it has gone from my head to my chest.So I took some Nyquil tonight to help me sleep and hopefully help clear my chest.Everyone has been so sick.It keeps jumping from one person to another.Judy had that bad stomach virus over Christmas and I was sick over New Years.
  I spoke to Darlene earlier today and Randy isn't doing well. He's still unsure of his enviroment and whats going on.Very confused and Darlene does't know why.I honestly think he should have went into Rehab like they wanted him to. maybe they could of figured out whats up with him.Very skiddish and unsure of himself.All I can do is keep him in my Prayers and let the Dear Lord handle it.
   As I said I spent the bigger part of my day packing Christmas stuff away.I took a shower,made dinner and did my ironing for the week.I'm exhausted.I wish weekends had three days instead of two,that way I know I would get at least one full day in to do absolutely nothing but relax.So my precious I will say good night and will be talking to you tomorrow.Always remember how much I love and mss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Happy New Year my Love~
  It is a new year but sure doesn't seem like it. I missed your lucious lips when the Ball fell. Just so weird without my Precious Husband to share it with. Not that it has been a really big deal in the past until I met you. Then I looked forward to doing everything with you. I had exactly one beer because I have been sick and didn't want to mix my medication with alcohol. I have a really bad cold since Thurs. night.I thought my head was going to explode on Friday morning.
Just have been really sluggish and not feeling like doing much of anything. I actually slept until 9:30 this morning until Judy woke me up.I'm so ready for bed right now.I could have gone back to bed a half hour after I got up. But had to go to the store and wanted to get it over with early.Well my Darling I'm going to get to bed.Never forget how much I love and Miss you.~Forever and always your loving wife~ Carol

~Good Morning Darling~
  A nice start of my day,tired though.I tossed and turned all night last night.Don't know why just couldn't sleep well.
  I can't believe it will be New Years already.Where did 2010 go to? The time just flies by down here or maybe because it's an age factor.Going to be a better year I pray for our economy.It sure has been rough on the job situation and so many,many people are out of work.I feel so bad for the ones that really want to work but the work just isn't there.Hopefully a better outlook for 2011.
  I know one thing I'm not going to have those lucious lips of yours to kiss when the ball drops.I probably won't be awake for it anyways.I have to work all day tomorrow and it's New Years Eve.My sleep is more important to me.Even though I have Sat. off.
  It's a new year and one I wish I was spending with the most important man of my life.I love you so much honey and miss you every single day.Never thought for a minute honey our life together was going to be as short as it turned out to be.Wouldn't give that time I did have with your away for anything thats for sure.We made each others lives complete.We were so very happy together.I just love you so much!! 
   I spoke to Darlene for alittle bit yesterday until it started to get real busy here. Randy is home but as I said yesterday he really should be in Rehab.
Darlene is not capable of handling Randy.He's a big man and shes a peanut next to him.I'm going to give her a call here shortly to see how his night went.
  I guess our weather is in for a nice change,supposed to be 80 degrees here on sat.That will be a nice way to start the new Year out.
   Well my precious Husband I must get back to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my love~
   A big difference from yesterday morning.Alot warmer for sure.This weekend it's going to be 80 degrees.Such crazy weather.The whole Northeast is buried in snow,so I guess I shouldn't complain.Will be nice to feel the warmth again.The ocean water temp. is 56 degrees.Probably what the pool temp. is now to.
   Well I talked to Darlene this morning and she brought Randy home last night.Not where he should be though.He needs to be in rehab but refuses to go.Randy is to big of a man for Darlene to take care of.She can't lift on him and he really needs help getting up and down.He's one stubborn man we know that.As usual when I was talking to her this place got so busy.She finally hung up and I haven't called her back yet.
 I spoke to Nicole online this morning all the kids and her are pretty sick. It stinks being sick the same time as the kids.Who's going to take care of her you know.I hope they all get better soon.Judy had some kind of a stomach virus since Christmas.Yesterday was the first day she could keep her food down.I pray I don't get it.She was pretty miserable with it.We did have FLU shots but it doesn't prevent us from getting what everyone else gets,like a stomach virus or bad cold.This crazy weather has played a good part of whats going around to.
   I guess what the weather is going to be this weekend it will be beautiful outside.Will be nice to beable to open up some windows again.I know everyone complains about the cold but i'd rather have it chilly than to be sufficating from the heat.we get enough of that in the summer months.Well my precious handsome husband I should get back to work here.Always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife ~ Carol

~ Good morning Sweetheart ~
   What a BURRRR of a morning here!! Again freezing weather.The ground is all white like it snowed from the frost.I know I'll be busy when spring comes, replanting everything I lost this winter.Everything is brown even the grass from the cold and frost.It's so ugly.I like pretty trees and flowers much better.
  I spoke to Darlene last night she finally called me.Randy is doing alittle better but still very confused.I wish he would show some sort of a change but according to Darlene one minute he seems to be doing ok and then it starts all over again.Poor Randy I know he has to hate it in there.Nobody likes to be in a Hospital especially for as long as he's been in there.They did a spinal tap on him yesterday to try and find out whats going on with him. I think they're looking for infection,possibly in his blood stream.He keeps getting a fever.And they don't know why.I just called Darlene and no answer so shes probably on her way up there or in the shower.I know that poor woman is exhausted.Shes been up there every day for over a month now.He really can't have visitors because they have him in isolation.
   Well my love I will have to get back to work here for now.Never forget how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~ Good morning My darling~
  Is it ever freezing outside.I swear it could snow.The whole Northeast is getting a Blizzard.Jersey is getting slammed pretty hard.I know I spoke to Jamie on her way into work this morning and they have a foot and it's still snowing.Poor Jamie having to drive in that stuff.She said the roads were dead, I hope they didn't have a state of Emergency and she didn't hear about it.She made it ok but she did say it was slippery in spots.
  I've been trying to reach Darlene and not to successful at this point.Boy I hope Randy is doing ok.I haven't heard from Darlene since Friday.I think shes convinced that Randy did indeed have a stroke.He's very confused and not really aware of his surroundings.He doesn't even recognize Darlene at times.She's an absolute basket case.
   It was nice to see all my babies over Christmas,well almost all of them.I talked with all my other ones on the phone.that Elyssa is something else honey.She said Grandma do you wanna hear what Santa brought me and I said I sure do, and she hit the drums.A week ago Jamie told her if she wasn't a good girl Santa will only bring her coal.She thinks about it for a minute then she says Mommy it's ok if Santa brings me coal.Because coal is made from rocks and rocks are pretty.What a little smarter huh ? The kids were so excited to see me that it took me a half to calm them down.I love all my Babies so much.
   I made it through a Christmas without my love,it was very sad honey. I just love and miss you so much.So very,very lonely without you.I will never get used to the thought of you not being around.Always remember how much I love and Miss you.~ Always and forever your Loving wife ~ Carol

~MERRY CHRISTMAS Sweetheart~
   I think the internet was clogged up earlier,I couldn't get online at all for nothing.Well Christmas was a success and so glad to say it's over with.Not much of a Christmas without my Darling sitting next to me. The kids are here and will be going home sometime tomorrow.I can't believe how big their getting.Thomas talks up a storm.What a handsome little man.He's so lovable and loves to cuddle.I hope he doesn't outgrow that for awhile.I got things I didn't have which was nice.I have one of those Photo Frames. I can't wait to put photo's in it.Well sweetheart it's almost midnight so I will say goodnight for now and will talk to you tomorrow.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Always and forever your loving Wife~ Carol

~Merry Christmas Eve Honey~
   I sure hope I get a chance to get on here on Christmas Day.But with all the kids you know how that goes.I put my Computer away until everything is back to normal.
   I got up this morning and was a bit surprised.It got cold overnight,wasn't supposed to until Christmas Day.Wasn't freezing but chilly. I didn't hear from Darlene yesterday so I'm going to try and get a call into her later to see how Randy is doing.It's so sad not to have the love of your life around for the Holidays.I just keep telling myself I can do this but it's not easy.
Everyone has been super and trying to keep me strong. Michele Wagner called me on our Anniversary to see how I was doing.I thought that was nice.I told her fine but I really wasn't fine. I had a tough day and not being able to give my precious Husband a big kiss and hug for our 1st. Anniversary broke my heart.I love and miss you so very much honey and all the wonderful conversations we had.The quiet moments we shared and just plain chillin out time spent together.I know that the Dear Lord has my Guardian Angel and your looking down on me each and everyday with that beautiful smile of yours.Honey always remember how much I love and miss you. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

      ~MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING~

~Good morning my Precious~
   Today is Thursday one more day to go.And I get to see my babies for Christmas.Sure wish Jamie and her Family could be here to.I miss them so much.Just as much as I miss you Darling.It's going to be a very empty Christmas without you here with me.You have always completed me honey. I love you more than life itself and I know I can never have my Christmas wish so I didn't wish for anything.The true Christmas has faded out and has been replaced with nothing but gifts.I'm so thankful for the time God gave me with you and for the time he keeps me on Earth to spend the time with my Children and Beautiful Grandkids.I love you all so much !!
  Always remember how much I love and miss you honey. ~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Hello my Darling~
  Didn't take my Laptop to work today I had to train someone all day.So here I at home.I love so and miss you very,very much.It's getting warmer again at least until Christmas Day.They're calling for rain and the temperature is going to drop again.Just like last year honey remember how cold it got?Crazy weather here for sure.California has had so much rain the houses are floating down the Streets there.I'm talking multiple inches like 20 to 30 inches of rain.The places that get snow they're in for 13 feet of snow, this is California I'm talking about.
   Darlene just called me honey and Randy isn't doing good at all. He doesn't know whats going on.  He barely recognizes Darlene. She's waiting to hear from one of his Doctors.To find out what going on with him.I feel so bad for her,shes so sad honey and feels so lost Randy not knowing her is really killing her.I'll keep on praying that a change for the better will happen soon.A bad year for everyone I think. Well my precious husband going to get my shower and get ready fo bed here soon. I'm so tired.Always remember how much I love and miss you.~Forever and always your loving Wife~ Carol

~Good morning my Love~
   I was almost done writing in here and I lost it all.So here I am doing it all over again.
   As I had said before I had a tough day yesterday.Not having you here to celebrate out 1st. Anniversary together it broke my heart honey.I have two more hurdles to get over and hopefully things will get better for me.I just love and miss you so much and I really can't except it yet.Christmas and New Years and all the Holidays are gone by.
  I spoke to Darlene last night and she was alittle better about Randy.At least he recognized her yesterday. I've kept them both in my Prayers,hopefully he gets better soon.I know Darlene is Physically and Emotionally drained.She needs to take better care of herself.Theres nobody going to be around to take care of her but herself so she needs to take it easy.I worry about her all the time.
   I just thank God for having my Kids and the Grandkids because they're the ones getting me through all these Holidays without you honey.I can't help it.Seems like I just barely get over one hurdle and along comes another one.Hopefully the New Year will be easier for me,who knows.It might not be as bad if I didn't love and miss you so much.You were my Lifeline honey and it eats away at me not having you here to share all my thoughts and conversations with.Just always remember how much I love and Miss you. ~Always and forever your loving Wife~ Carol
