My dad was the epitome of Unconditional love
Unconditional love. This starts the moment your child takes that first breath.Right then you want everything for that child. You look into that little face and fall in love. My dad felt this for me. He didn't say he loved me everyday. He showed me. I never doubted his unconditional love for me. I saw his tears well up, when I was in a school play. I remember he didn't want to go,because we were poor and he had nothing he thought was nice enough to wear to the school. but I wouldn't take no for an answer.It's a wonderful memory. That's all I have left . My dad passed away in 1983.He was only 59. I miss him every day. No day passes when I don't think of him. How funny he was. How smart he was, even though he only went to the sixth grade. He was nice to everyone. Unless they were nasty to him or his family. His family was always number one to him.

looking for the glasses on my head.....again
Saturday.I have no plans for this three day weekend, but looking around it is easy to see this house needs to be cleaned.It's not exactly "hoarders" but the dishes in the sink can be seen from the moon!. How does a house get so messy when no one is hardly home. And the amount of garbage I throw out is horrendous. I have a ton of recycle bottles in my garage .
Problem one I have no damn energy! I feel tired . I do not work much .only a couple hours a week. but I feel so tired . I think it's because of all the unnecessary running around I do.Errands and waiting in lines are two things that wear me down.
Some days though the worst thing , is 'looking for something'. I spend a ridiculous amout of time looking for stuff. Keys,yes I have key hooks, receipts, my bank card, a dog leash, and the list goes on. Ok I am not organized,but, where do people find "a place for everything,and everything in it's place." .Really? Plus I can't find my reading glasses on a daily basis. It became obvious to me that I should look on top of my own head more often! I went to work earlier this week with both pair of reading glasses on my head. I also spent some time that same morning looking for the car keys in my left hand.
Do hands lose their feeling when you are looking for the item in them?
How many do you hear "I just had that in my hand!! " Or what the hell did I do with that? " .
Then the alzheimer's thought comes in your head first as a joke , and then it seems like maybe you should talk to your doctor.
I do feel better when people say that all this happens to them as well. there is comfort in knowing that I'm not alone in wondering what I've done with something.

As a small child, I remember going to my maternal grandmothers house. I was a nice house.I thought it was beautiful,and so huge! That was because I was very poor growing up. I didn't know it. I did not understand why this grandmother seemed to have a "fancy" house ,yet we had no hot water in our home. It didn't bother me.
My grandmother's house looked similar to this :
I found the house both intriguing and kind of scary. It was not at all unusual , a basic grandma house. It had some pretty antique furniture . A lot of heavy dark wood linoleum floors that looked kind of like a rug with,pretty roses on the trim. There was some type of cool wall covering and it was like wall paper but it had the word "oil" (I think ) in what it was called. My grandmother and Her 2 siblings lived there.Her sister louise was usually upstairs in her room when we visited, sometimes I was allowed to go upstairs to visit with her. Their older brother Rudolf lived with them too. He played chess with a friend that lived in Germany, they made their moves by letter.I remember they had a book cabinet with a lock.I loved looking at the books and occasionally would be allowed to look at one while I visited. I loved the classics like Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer. I also loved to look in the encyclopedia, it was beautifully illustrated.
