86. I would like to take a second honeymoon with Pete to a really romantic beach somewhere…..just me and him.

87. I kept my children busy while they were growing up, we were always totting them somewhere, going to practice, games, or something and some people thought they were too busy and I should take them out, my comment would be....someday it will all be overwith and I won't have all this to do, so they will just stay busy and I will just stay busy and I am so glad we did it this way.

88. I love my friends and family and I hope to learn more about my blogging friends.

Thanks for reading and take care, A friend in East Texas, Pam.
