It is found!

About 5 weeks ago, I misplaced my bluetooth headset.  Just in time for it to be illegal to talk on your phone in the car.  I looked for it at work, looked for it in the car, looked for it in my purse and in the house.  And then, we looked somemore.

On Friday, I gave up!  It was lost, gone, never to be seen again.  I went out and bought a new one.  Yes - you heard me right!  I bought a new one.  Charged it up and started using it.

Guess what I found today?  Yup - the stupid headset.  In a little pocket in a shopping bag!  I dont even remember putting it there. 

So now I have 2 headsets, lucky me!

Some Random Thoughts

Today I was thinking how fortunate I am to have such wonderful children.  I know that I have sung their praises before. But seeing as this is MY Blog --

Monday, Tanya and Andre took me out for lunch.  It was so nice to hang out with them and catch up.  Yesterday, Tara called and shared her day with me.  Monday, I got to go out with Brian and Phil for dinner and a movie.

Everyday I am thankful for the wonderful women my daughters have become.  Their husbands are such welcome additions to our family.  It has been a source of joy to watch my family grow.

I went to visit my mother on Saturday and was reminded of how the passage of time changes relationships.  There was a time when I went to my mom for parenting advice, relationship advice and such like.  She was the Grandma at family dinners.  Now that has been passed to me.  I am the Grandma!  I love it.


Who could have known how much fun being Grandma is!  I am looking forward to the next addition  to our family (hint hint).

How to respond?

Last night I had to tell Brian that the baby downstairs had passed away.  I asked him to pray for the parents and their family.  His immediate response was "I can't imagine how sad they are".

Me too!  I am so saddened by the news that this young couple have lost their less than 3 month old child.  How do you respond?  What can you do to help?  Is there any way to lessen their grief? 

Other than pray for them, and maybe make them dinner, I feel totally at a loss.  Suggestions?  Thanks!
