My jouney

 today being Thursday  Sept 8,2011,   Yesterday was a very busy day at the salon , was so busy did not have time to be tired  like day like that.  went to bed early  and up early as I have to do the same thing today .  work!

 My  Journey  three ended with remembering   getting my books when in first grade. When  In first  grade  I believe that was the loneliest time for me ,  for  in the  birth order I am either the  last of the  first five  making me the baby  or the oldest of the last six. in that order  was me  Cindy,  then Debby  and  then Marcy.  we were always dressed alike until I got old enough to be out of the size 6 and 7 of little girl clothes then I had to dress different because they did not make the same dresses in the bigger sizes , I was really disappointed  one Easter when my dress was  different .  I know I jumped the  subject but  my point was I had  no one to go to school with for a couple of years  and I was afraid at school . I cried every day until I was in fourth grade.  those of you who know  would find that hard to believe as I was very shy quite the opposite of today .  I would  continue  to be that way for several years  .    In Fifth grade I started doing speech competition  and that really helped my shyness , for some reason memorizing those speeches and speaking  in front of others  really helped me . I miss the family time we had as children . But am thankful for my life and the years  God has given me with my family and the Goodness in my life.

I will continue tomorrow have to get this day started,

continue with "my journey"

Tuesday Sept 6, 2011.  was a very busy day  as went to work at the salon first then worked at Macy's  for 8 hours, was very busy at  the department store
   as most know i have been a hair designer for about 44 years now and two years ago i took a part time in Macy's  in the cosmetics departments, I work in all of them and mostly i really  enjoy  working there .
    My Journey  for 62 years has been interesting  at last the part I remember from age three until the present.
I am one of  ten  children  , number 5 in the order . So that must make me a middle child, one who is both curious and one that must be persuaded  that what ever I do will be the right path.  I am sure  there are things that were not so wonderful in my childhood  but nothing so dramatic that it affected the road ahead. As I write on here I will tell about things that mostly affected me.  I have heard there are  three things that affect ones life the most profoundly.  That being  a  marriage , birth of a child  and the  death of those you love the most . In have experienced  all three ,  each happening leaving me stronger than before. 

I remember the scent of the the new books we got each year at the beginning of the year . before entering first  grade I remember Mom and Dad Taking us to school and signing us up for whatever grad we were in  being my first year i remember being in the top bunk bed  looking at those workbooks and  textbooks , I was  so excited ,  as the years went by it was  less exciting, but the elementary years  were exciting every year.
 I believe you could call me more social that studious  . Unlike  some of my brothers and  sisters  where learning was easy some of the subjects i can recall struggling with ,  to bad you can't  go to grammar school when you are older  it got easier as I aged.

 Well this will end  the  writing for  September 6, 2011 , will continue if not tomorrow another day  stay tuned for more ............. God Bless

My journey: My Journey

My journey: My Journey: Monday , Labor Day , up early have to work today going to Curtis orchard today with the Schmidt's, had Lunch with them yesterday after...

My Journey

Monday , Labor Day , up early  have to work today  going to Curtis orchard  today  with the  Schmidt's,  had Lunch with them yesterday after  church  talked about my  blog and realized i did not know how to get back on here  so with a little logic I found it . 
In the  beginning God created  heaven and earth ,  God  created  Adam and Eve  ,  we are all descendants of them . Because of them  and there  sin in the  gardens  we  were cursed to labor! Where once  fruit and vegetables were in abundance  God  forced them to work the land  to provide fruits and vegetables for themselves. ..............something like that way any.  so as we have advanced through the years we have become a hard working nation and today is honoring all of us workers.
 I remember  being a young girl and helping around the house   washing dishes with my sisters , in the summer endless hours preparing vegetables  for canning, Hanging laundry on the  clothes line  always something to do with a family as big as ours ......... ten children  , Rita , Edna, Lea, Frank, Cindy, Debby, Marcy,Tony, Wiley, and Suzie.  I love our  big  Family , as I look back I can see that there was never an abundance of anything  but I never felt that way.  always something on the table to eat , I never went to bed hungry and I always had cereal in the morning if I wanted it . There is so much Hunger in our  world  today it makes me realize how much better the simpler times were .   need to get on with my day ...more to follow.

My Journey

Good Morning , Sunday Sept 4, 2011, it is a cool  Sunday morning after yesterday , just reminiscing in my mind the years when growing up on Walnut street with out  air conditioning , yesterday would have been unbearable  but somehow as a child I do not remember being "so hot"  always fans and  trees to sit under , and  cool aid !  cherry was my favorite and there were no ice makers in the refrigerators   just the ice cube trays that constantly had to filled .
 I am  getting ready for church and also  thinking about how my Mom and Dad had to get us all up and fed and dressed for church on Sunday Morning it was  probably a chore  but  we  were always  at church on time  every Sunday of our life  so thankful for that .  Missing My Mom and Dad  today ,  missing my family  and  friends  some how living alone sometimes can be lonesome. Not always but today it is that way. Leaving for now   much more to follow  .............
