Grandma's Journal

I took off on Friday around 2:30pm...got to Purdy at 8pm. I made one stop and that was at Ellensburg to drive thru Taco Bell and get gas...then it was back on the road...it was raining so hard going over the pass that I had to slow down to 40 mph, I could only see 2 car lengths in front of me. My brother in law was still out to dinner, so I unloaded my car, then I laid on the bed and talked to Amy for a few minutes. I fell asleep. Woke up to hear ice clinging in a glass for my brother in law's nightly scotch drink, and I fell right back to sleep. Woke up to my brother in law knocking on the bedroom door at 7am and asking me if I was awake. "I am now"! he told me that he wanted to take me out for breakfast, and I told him that I brought breakfast and to make a pot of coffee and I would be out in a minute...We ate a muffin, and drank a whole pot of coffee...we visited and caught up on the comings and goings....then it was off to our Class with Becky.

We had a emotional fun day. If anyone walked away from this class without using a kleenez they were stone cold and had NO feelings...even my brother in law cried!

Emotions ran high this day, and most of them were refreshing tears! Lots of hugs, holding hands, and never once did we say we were sorry.

The past is the past, and it is time to start fresh. Everyone deserves a fresh new start, even inmates!

Becky is trying very hard to have a sucessful re-entry into the real world, and with this class and the help of friends and family she will be able to do it!

She has lost way to much time and she is tired of playing in their "Sandbox" as they don't ever want to play her games and the "Sandbox is never clean" .... Thats her saying1 I always tell her the worst part about being in a female prison is there is always a BITCH ON HER PERIOD!

What is nice for me, is I made this trip all by myself without stopping to sleep...all the way there and all the way home...this is a first for me in a long time! I am proud of myself!!!

Grandma's Journal My Journal I became a Grandma at the age of 49 years old. Well I was actually only 17 days from being 50. My baby girl gave me gave me my first grandchild. He was a beautiful bouncy boy. Then 2 years later she surprised me on my birthday at 5am by waking me up and telling me "Happy Birthday Mom!" Time to get up we are going to the hospital and having a baby today! I told her NO that's tomorrow. It took a little bit for her to get it through my groggy head that she was going to be giving me a birthday present! and she totally did. She gave me a dark hair beautiful little grand daughter. Now I can enjoy spoiling 2. I have decided that the best thing in the world is being a Grandma! There is nothing that come close to that! I have been married for 30 years to a man that lives for his family. He only wants the best for all of us and spoils us all! He is a good man that works hard for his dollar. We have a pretty good marriage to say the least. Well it must be if we can put up with each others faults this long! My mom who has Alzehimers lives with us and has been for almost 3 years now. She is in the finally stages of the disease and still hangs in there. She loves to grab the broom and sweep. She does this everyday, and several times a day. I keeps her busy. She will even sweep the counch or the kitchen table if you let her. My oldest daughter is going to be 34 years old this year and hasn't lived at home in 16 years. I spend as must time as I can with her. But it is never enough. She plans on coming home to live and take care of us in 7 years. I cant wait! It's my dream to have her home. She is a dear friend to me and we have a great relationship. she always tells me that I am her best friend.

A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.		2009-04-19 12:13 PM Saturdays Class I took off on Friday around 2:30pm...got to Purdy at 8pm.
