People we know

I have been corrected, once again, by my dear sister, CF, that the cookout I thought was at my BN's house was at her dads (my brother). I had told her that she had the ideal place for a family reunion. Looks like they both have a great spot for one. No wonder she never commented back to me about it. What's up with that, Sue?
Anyway, besides that there has been so much going on this past week (some of which I won't discuss right now). My beautiful littlest 1 year old granddaughter had surgery on her eyes. She was born with her bottom eyelashes tucked in. Now that's taken care of and I am awaiting pictures of her with her beautiful new eyelashes. Of course she was beautiful without them. I am certainly glad my son and duaghter-in-love spared me any pics of her after the surgery. My son said her eyes were swollen (I'm sure) and I didn't want to see that. I had other things going on to make me cry.
I think my BN Sue sits around thinking up ways to make her aunts cry. I don't know if it's a throw back from when she was a child or what but she has done it a few times. I went on our family web page and a beautiful memorial to my mother (her grandmother) was staring back at me. I can't even describe to you how I felt at that moment. My stomach sunk to it's lowest depth and for a few seconds I could not breathe,as I looked at mommies picture. My sister Joan felt it too and I don't think my sister Nancy has seen it yet. What a tribute to a woman who definitely deserves one. Thank you Sue. You did a beautiful job on your mothers memorial and you outdid yourself again for grandma. I know she would be pleased.
I have been having a struggle with some health problems and I was put on a high fiber diet. My BFs daughter asked me about the things on it and as I was telling her , I think she was writing it down and then she tells me she is going to look at this store she goes to and find me some of the foods. Well, there I go again. The tears.... and when I told her mom, more tears came and my BF says don't cry. Oh, yeah; right. Who made you boss? I love you Nauni! Anyway, that has been part of my week. I will leave the rest for another day. Let's just concentrate on happy things. And I do have other happy things to share, just not right now. But soon...very soon.

Nicknames

As I was reading about a memory my niece had of my brother; I started thinking about the children she mentioned also. I remember that way back then we had nicknames for almost all of our children. CF's four boys, RB's three girls then his son Ron Jr. My sister Nancy's two (that I gave them) and my two (that Nancy named) What fun to call them or just talk to them, using their special name and hear them answer. I wonder if they remember what the names were. I'm not telling unless I'm asked cause you can get in BIG trouble name dropping!! : )
This is short but if they all respond it will grow. And for all of you great nieces and nephews, if you had a nickname growing up, let's hear it.
