Papaw Kindy with all his sons, who loved him dearly as well!!!

Love you!!! Hope you have awesome home made ice cream in Heaven!

So, this morning on my way to work I heard the song "Grandpa" on the radio (the one by the Judds,...old song). I started boo hooing, wrecked my make up.

Just wanted to post on here, especially with Father's Day coming up how much BOTH of my Grandfather's meant to me and how greatly I miss them.

The song is about a grand daughter asking her Grandpa to tell her about the good 'ol days, etc. I just wish I would've realized before it was too late that I should've asked more questions, and spent more time with both of them.

I did spend a lot of time in the hospital with my Papaw Collins the days before he died, and I recorded him on my phone asking questions, and he would answer, but his answers that day just weren't the same as I would've gotten a year before... He was confused and didn't really know what to say, or how to answer some of the questions.

If you are fortunate enough to still have your grandparents around PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... DO NOT take them for granted. MAKE extra time to spend with them. They will love & enjoy your visits and you will be glad you did take the extra time to go for a visit after they're gone.

JUST SAYIN.......

Papaw Collins & me just a few months before he passed away...

OK... So, I'm not ANY BETTER AT ALL at posting blogs than I am at keeping in touch with folks. Maybe it's just because there is really nothing new and exciting going on? Just the same ol work, home, work at home, garden, flowers, fixing up the EXTREME fixer upper home we bought in August 2008, etc.

This weekend we will be going on up to the annual Kindy Family Reunion! We both look forward to this every year! It's so much fun to catch up with family! This will be the very first year without our dear, sweet Papaw Kindy there. I like to think he's gonna be eating home made ice cream with his Momma and Jesus, while proudly looking down upon all of his family thinking..."I bet they're REALLY HOT down there"!!!

Well, I'll try to do better at this, at least once a month or so...

Here is a pic of Josh & I at Lake Ouachita a couple weeks ago... I hate how I smile SO BIG that my eyes almost close!!!

I think it's just the joy joy joy joy down in my heart trying to burst out through my teeth!!!
