The weekend was busy but Sunday was my most noteable day. After finally getting to see my team play on tV GO BROWNS!! they lost... But they where not really expected to win. My boys did play good though and our "D" really stepped it up. But even with the loss I was feeling ok, then I go to working in my yard cleaning a few things up, enjoying the cool weather. I started thinking about stuff (that is always bad), my Grandfather died on April first, right after I bought my first house. I got my house in May, he was never well enough to come look at it, but I allways remember thinking I can not wait for him to come see it. I have 5 acres, he can show me the best place for a garden and tell me what trees I have and what trees I should get. I wanted to dig a pond, and he has one and had to have it fixed up a few times, so that was something else we could work on together. Just so much stuff, he was like a father to me more often than not. I just got hit hard, I missed him alot at that moment. I decided to get a pile of fire wood together and after the sun went down I got a camping chair out of the garge and built a fire. When I was little I was scared of the dark, the noises and the woods scared the mess out of me. My Grandfather would take me for walks and turn off his flash light and make me stand there and just lysten. And each time I heard a noise he would explain to me what it was. After a while it was like a game, we would go out and I would tell him what it was. I love the woods at night, I have him to thank for this. So I started my little fire and sat there in silence sometimes looking up at the stars, sometimes letting the fire die down to allmost nothing so it was a little darker. I missed him verry much yesterday, but for a little bit that night I felt close to him again. But that is my blog for the day. I will end with this....
Do not take for granted the loved ones you have in your life, as mean and as odd as they are you will truely only remember the good things about them when they are gone, and you will wish that you would have had more time with them.

So very true. All to often we take for granted those we love and hold dear - never worrying that now, tomorrow it could all go away.
Thanks for the gentle reminder.
