Menopause in Action

So the other day, I was heating up something on the stove.  Positive I turned on the front burner...... Judging from the stove top covers I bet you can't guess which burner I turned on?

This folks is menopause in action!  Not only am I forgetful, but I've also got a case of the dizzy spells and fatigue to match.  Last week, I thought I was pregnant; turns out it's the change! But at least I know that if I forget something I have a reason to figure out why; which is better that putting a baby down and forgetting where you put it and then wating for it to cry to find it again!  So the "change" isn't exacty what I bargained for but we all go thru it and I guess this is another chapter in my life t experience with mucho gusto!

Father's Day

As you can see in the background, the man holding the fish is my dad.  Not only did he bait the line for me.......because I think worms are icky; but he also helped me net the fish and hold it while the Dodgeman took our picture.  My dad doesn't really like his picture taken, I've yet to meet a man who does?  So we snap pictures when we know he isn't looking.  So far, I have maybe a dozen photos of him.  I aim this summer to take many more because as a daughter you should have oodles of photos of the man who is you father, daddy and best friend for advice, a shoulder to cry on and whip once in awhile for fishing, poker and any lawn game possible.  

I found this at the park where we staged Dodgeman's brother and his wife's vow renewal
last Saturday.  It was part of the"dedication rock wall" and it was too beautiful not to share.
It was also the day we were supposed to meet the little boy we were considering to adopt;  which is something that the Dodgeman and I feel he needs a home where the family specializes in "Special Needs" for children. We sadly are not equipped with the knowledge and medical background for such a child.   For now we are enjoying our "retirement from teenagers" as my daughter ElectricGirl has graduated from high school and all the B.S. that came from her stepmother will now cease to bother me here on out.  My daughter is 18 now and her dreams and aspirations are the important things in her life........
