I am not sure if my decision not to allow my sons to learn driving at an early age was wise. Back when they were teens,  my brother wanted to teach them how to drive,  but I said no. They had to wait to be 18. That was a long time ago. Fortunes have changed. Only one of my three can drive; and he too learned it late. Today I think it is important to know driving. Much like swimming, one needs to be responsible to be a good driver. After all,  the lives of your passengerd are  in your hands. Driving is not  about being  behind the wheel alone; it is more than stepping on the gas pedal and say go. It needs skill, concentration, focus, and discipline.  I myself made a start but fear got the better of me. However, I think it is a must that I  start learning now . Formal driving lessons would be a big deal. Nothing better than a professional driver-teacher relationship with instructionals or the how to's;  because there are rules,  including  discipline to follow; and  to

Good morning Good Friday.. from where i stand.. to commemorate the early hours prior to Jesus "Death" on the Cross Station of the Cross And now on to the next station

I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, and now you're in my way I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby? Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe? It's hard to look right, at you baby, but here's my number, so call me, maybe? Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe? And all the other boys, try to chase me, but here's my number, so call me, maybe? You took your time with the call, I took no time with the fall  You gave me nothing at all, but still, you're in my way I beg, and borrow and steal Have foresight and it's real  I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way

Who wants a smart phone?  Whether it's an android or an IOS driven phone,  people these  days can't seem to live without these ubiquitous gadgets. They have become a part of everyone's life. They say gadgets keep you connected when ever, wherever.  I say I love the convenience and the accessibility. So we have gadgets and goes without saying that these things need accoutrements as well;  iphone cases and tablet cases too, screen protectors or skins, cables and connectors,  battery packs and for my very  own specific need; iphone 4 accessories , better start saving up for we all need to get updated from time to time. Geewhiz, the web is full of sites where you can readily refurbish or accessorize your gadgets. But I would want a company that's foremost reliable, second a site filled with  integrity, and delivers on their promises. Of course, customer testimonials would help. Also, great customer driven policies like no hassle exchange, order status feature, etc.  

Just playing around down memory lane. Back when my kids were kids, aged 5, 7, 9 and 11. I was a very young mother of four..  working will all the joys and aches a mother normally goes through. I found this picture editor on the web and has been trying to convert practically  all my pics to pencil sketch mode. I wish I could  print all of  them. Well, mostly those I want to print are my photos.. what a narcissist :-) Motherhood taught me that there's always light at the end of the tunnel. The real bonus is i now have grandchildren. And looking back it was all worth it.   Yey!

We went to see my mother to greet her a happy birthday! She was really surprised to see us but seemed excited and I was soo happy watching her enjoy our presence. Old age can at most times make one lonely. I should know. I am not too old but I  have had the experience of  making sense of life when it seems non sensical. I look at my Mama  and can see that see seemed to have lost some weight.  Her  glaucoma has her eyes are failing her little by little. Not having her usual  eyesight prevents her going  anywhere. Whereas, she used to go to church a lot some years back, it now gives her the shivers to leave her comfort zone. I have time and again suggested that she take up to some kind of  a tool to help her move around. But she won't hear it :-( I look at her and I know she lived a life that's full. I am positive there's still time to bring her to places as soon as she gets that eye procedure we have been wanting her to have! Happy Birthday Mama. We all love YOU!
