I would like to answer Delaine questions:

Comment from: blueblueandblew
"Dang Brin, the little seamstress you were, good job, they look good.
Thanks for sharing these, I really enjoyed seeing them.
Thats crazy how your grandmother looked all mad in the pic. So what about your parents, you have spoke of your mom a bit, not too much.
Your brothers and sister, are you close to them, where do they live?
Have a nice weekend, Delaine"



First, Thank You, I learned to sew by watching my mother and other grandmother (dad's mom), but I did take a home economics class in junior high school.
As for my grandmother, she was upset because my mother was pg with my brother, and she was only 16 years old.  She hated my father for doing that, even though my mother had something to do about that too.......
It was disappointment.  To this date, she still feels that way.  When I was visiting her, she would say that she did not want my mother to marry my father.  She made visit difficult.  If I remember correctly, we always came home early because dad and grandma would argue.  It was hard, and still hard.  Grandma can't get over it after so many years and now that they are divorce.
As for my mother, for a couple of years I did not speak to my mother.  That was during my marriage, yes the pass repeats.  My Ex did not wanting me to talk to her because of how she treated me.  My mother in someway did the same thing to my grandmother and I did it to my mother.  She did the best she could to raise me.  And I see that now.  I was young, and in love with my ex and would do anything for him.  I was young and though I knew everything........  I did not.
I know that I have only one mother and I love her for who she is; her flaws and her beauty.  Just like I am......
I hope to find that special someone who would love me like that......

Speaking of someone special; I am on Match.com and I recieved an email from this guy. The only problem is that he lives in Waco about a 4 hour drive.  We did finally chat online, and he is so sweet.  I will see where this will lead to; if anything.

So back to the questions:
MY brothers and sister......
My baby brother, Thomas (Tommy) just moved to Corpus, so he is near by.  I sometimes have lunch with him when I can.  He is married and has a boy and a girl.  It is nice to have them near by.  We are trying to get the kids together more.
My older brother, Andy and Sammy live in Alice, where my mother and father live at.  They are married and have kids.  I do not see them often.  They were mean to me when I was growing up, so I am not close to them.  I do see them off and on.
As for my only sister, Melinda.  She lives in Alice too.  I am close to her, but we are going through hard times.  She is dealing with things and I am too.......  She was going through a divorce the sametime I was going through one, strange, huh.  She is live with this loser.....  and I tried talking to her about that, but she is not listening; has to learn the hard way.  I have tried and that is all I could do.....  I worry more for the kids......
But we still talk to each other off and on.

I just love this one.......

Till next time......

  2. Wild ride we are on with this life huh?

    I think as we age we learn from our mistakes, usually....we can see where we messed up as kids or young adults but dont have any regrets. Whats done is done. Some people never change and never grow up. Its a shame you arent close to your brothers but i know how that is. Families can rip your heart out.
    love,lisa
