WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MARGARITAVILLE?

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MARGARITAVILLE?

NOW MARGARITAS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!  I KNOW THE KIDS ARE SURE I AM ON MY WAY TO HELL......BUT MAXINE AND I ....DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO!!!  THEY SAY IT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE PORT OF INDECISIONS AND SOUTHWEST OF DISORDER.......BUT NO PARALELLS OF LONGITUDE MARK THE SPOT ON THE MAP....YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A NAVIGATOR TO GET THERE....ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW YOUR HEART.  AS YOU ALL KNOW.....I AM A TRAVELER....SO I'M OFF TO FIND MARGARITAVILLE........I LOVE NEW PLACES....

UP EARLY AND WENT GARAGE SAILING WITH THE NEIGHBORS!!!!! BOUGHT A CUTE BULL WINKLE CANDLE HOLDER......THEN OFF TO THE MOVIE "LITTLE FOOT" WITH TWO GRANDCHILDREN AND A WIFE OF ONE......LOVED THE MUSIC.....HOME..... A NAP AND HERE WE ARE CHURCH DAY ALREADY......NEW WARD.....NEW BISHOP!!!!!

..FINALLY,,,,,,,,,

I GUESS I AM PUTTING THESE TWO PICTURES IN........SO WHEN I LOSE IT.......I CAN KINDA REMEMBER THIS FUN WEDDING.....IT REALLY WAS A FUN AND DIFFERENT WEDDING......THE FIRST PICTURE IS OF PARK CITY.....THIS IS WHERE THE WEDDING WAS CELEBRATED ......AND IN WINTER WHERE THEY CATCH THE LIFT TO TOP OF THE SKI LIFT......THE BAND IN FRONT WITH THE HEAD TABLE IN FRONT.....BAR ON THE RIGHT AND TABLES SPACED AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR!!!!!

A MILLION LITTLE THINGS......

WHEN MY MIND STARTS WANDERING AND I THINK OF "A MILLION LITTLE THINGS" THAT HAS PASSED THROUGH MY LIFE....SPOTTY DOT.....POPPED UP! THAT TIME IN MY LIFE THAT WAS SO SPECIAL......MOTHER'S POEM AND SONG FOR THE GRANDKIDS.....DADDY MOUNTED THIS BEAUTY AND WE ADOPTED IT INTO OUR LIFE AND FAMILY....SOMEDAY......SOMEDAY THE WORLD WILL BE SINGING HIS SONG.....MAYBE CHASE?????

WHATEVER HAPPENED YESTERDAY HAS BROUGHT YOU TO TODAY......AND TODAY YOU CAN DO SOMETHING BIG OR SMALL, TO SHAPE ALL YOUR TOMORROWS....

TODAY YOU CAN DREAM AND DO....TODAY YOU CAN LOOK BACK AND AHEAD......TODAY YOU CAN PLAN AND PRESS FORWARD TOWARD YOUR FUTURE...

IT IS SO SAD WHEN PEOPLE QUIT LEARNING AND USEING ALL THEIR GOD GIVEN TALENTS TO HELP OTHERS.......OR THEMSELVES.

EVERY SINGLE DAY WE PLAY A SUPPORTING OR EVEN STARRING ROLE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE......EVERY SINGLE DAY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE YOU MIGHT CALL SMALL,, BUT REALLY ISN'T.  EVERY SINGLE DAY, YOU DO SOME ACTUAL REAL GOOD .....PET THE DOG, SMILE AT SOMEONE, OPEN A DOOR FOR SOMEONE OR GIVE THEM A COMPLIMENT, CALL A FRIEND OR SHARE SOME FOOD....LIFE HAS A MILLION LITTLE THINGS WAITING FOR US TO ENJOY.

MY WAY......

......

MY WAY

AND NOW THE END IS NEAR; AND SO I FACE THE FINAL CURTAIN.

MY FRIEND, I"LL SAY IT CLEAR, I'LL STATE MY CASE, OF WHICH I'M CERTAIN.

I HAVE LIVED A LIFE THAT'S FULL, I'VE TRAVELED EACH AND EVERY HIGHWAY,

(Yes, 120 countries, 6 of the 7 continents and all 50 states....around the world....MY WAY).

BUT MORE, MUCH MORE THAN THIS...I DID IT MY WAY.

REGRETS, I'VE HAD A FEW;  BUT THEN AGAIN, TOO FEW TO MENTION....

I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO AND SAW IT THROUGH WITHOUT EXEMPTION....

I PLANNED EACH CHARTER COURSE; EACH CAREFUL STEP ALONG THE BYWAY,

(Yes, I graduated from High School, on to College, a stewardess, marriage, a mom and Grammie and did all this MY WAY)

BUT MORE, MUCH MORE THAN THIS, I DID IT MY WAY.

YES, THERE WERE TIMES, I'M SURE YOU KNEW.....WHEN I BIT OFF MORE THAN I COULD CHEW.....BUT THROUGH IT ALL, WHEN THERE WAS DOUBT....I ATE IT UP AND SPIT IT OUT.....

(A cheating husband.....three little girls...i hung on till the last were 18 and he walked out....a divorce after 30 years.....but no booze or drugs...just tears and prayers...I stood tall and did it MY WAY)

I FACED IT ALL AND I STOOD TALL; AND DID IT MY WAY.

I'VE LOVED, I'VE LAUGHED AND CRIED, I'VE HAD MY FILL; MY SHARE OF LOSING.

(The hardest thing you will ever have to do.....is grieve for someone who is still alive).

AND NOW, AS TEARS SUBSIDE, I FIND IT ALL SO AMUSING....

TO THINK I DID ALL THAT; AND MAY I SAY - NOT IN A SHY WAY,

NO, OH NO NOT ME......I DID IT MY WAY.

FOR WHAT IS MAN, WHAT HAS HE GOT? IF NOT HIMSELF, THEN HE HAS NAUGHT.

TO SAY THE THINGS HE TRULY FEELS; AND NOT THE WORDS OF ONE WHO KNEELS.

THE RECORD SHOWS I TOOK THE BLOWS......AND DID IT MY WAY!

I WANT MY NEPHEW MIKE TO SING THIS AT MY GRAVE SIDE.....AND" SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW."

I LOVE MY LIFE AT 86.....AND I AM.....I AM LIVING IT ...."MY WAY."

A BIG TALL SON......

HOW LUCKY THE MOTHER WHO HAS A SON........A BIG TALL, FUN SON.

PAM ALWAYS WORRIED WILLIAM WOULD BE SHORT LIKE HIS FATHER'S SIDE AND PRAYED WILL WOULD BE TALL LIKE THE PETERSONS.....AND HE IS!  WILLAM IS MY THIRD GRANDCHILD AND MY FIRST GRANDSON AND FINALLY AT 28 GOT MARRIED.......MAYBE IN MY NEXT LIFE....I WILL HAVE A BIG TALL HANDSOME SON....I ADORE.....AND HAVE TO SHARE WITH A CUTE GIRL AND KIDS.........

A PART OF ME.....

Do memories sometimes take over?  Especially on a quiet weekend?

For a girl who grew up sharing a bath towel with four siblings.....your very own clean towel can be so special.....not that it hurt me....and it did it's job.  I don't know if we just didn't have five or six towels or that my poor mother struggled with the washer on the back porch where she heated the water and carried it out to the machine OR eventually they had an automatic laundry up town,,,,but that cost money/....WHICH  she probably did not have......none of us complained....we just went with the flow.

So many things I would do different.....if I had it all to do over again.....OR NOT!

I guess I lived inside a beautiful painting where every day when I got up.....so did the sun, blue sky and wonderful parents.......and friends.  Today I can afford a dozen new towels...but for some reason have a favorite I use over and over until laundry day.....WHY?

DOES YOUR HEART GOOD.....

I LOVE SEEING PICTURES LIKE THIS....NICCI AND BILL CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS OF MARRIAGE....AND STILL LIKING EACH OTHER.......NO, NO KIDS.....AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER HAVE ANY.....JUST  OLLIE THE DOG.....BOTH VERY BUSINESS AND SOCIALLY INVOLVED AND INTO THEIR CAREERS.  I decided to write them a note and thank them for the fun time we had together at Will's wedding....BILL  was always right there with an arm or hand to get me on the bus....down the hill to my seat ....etc....and my Nicci, Nicci is so me....life is an adventure for her and has been since she was little......we love clothes  and BIG jewlery!!!  I decided to write all the kids a note.....yes, WRITE them a note so they know we have a postal service and everything is not TEXT.....that I don't read anyway!  I know it will shock them.....but that is OK. Then I wrote Richi B a note and told him how I enjoyed the pictures of him climbing MT Nebo etc and keep it up....."You only go around once in life....but if you do it right....Once is enough." And to never forget how much his Grammie loves him !  My grandkids....My Life!  I will write all the others along the way.....
