Friendship and Babies

We had a nice Sunday. As you read previous post, Saturday was kind of tiring.

To begin with we had a baby shower to attend at 200.
We were lazy getting started and I had to lie down, I have neck, headaches with this shoulder strain, (so that is not new, I always have headaches but I can identify where it is coming from,)
I can only sleep in one position. That is on my back, and I usually sleep on my right side. That can't happen now as my right shoulder is bad. I cant lie on my left side or it pulls on my right shoulder.
Oh well that is OK, at least I am better, so much better and Thankful to God it was not worse.
I could have done much more damage with the strength I used to pull that mower cord.

So Sunday I lay down for a while, then decided I had to get moving. We had to buy the gift, buy the food we were taking over and pick up my new glasses.
We were running late. Only like five minutes but we are ON TIME People. We do not like being late for anything.
As we drove up, Ron and Darlene's driveway was full of cars, so we parked at the back of the row of cars. It took us a few minutes to get out of the car, (David had to retrieve his cane), We had food and gifts to take in.
LeAnna, Their Granddaughter, saw us and said, "Someone just drove up, It is Old People".
Then someone else made the comment, "Oh I bet it is David and Sue."
Ron and Darlene came to the door laughing as , Sure enough it was "Old David and Sue"
I told Leanna "I can not believe you said that, David is old but not me." LOL
We all had a good laugh. Of course to see us walk up the age shows, David is limping and here is this white haired man sitting in a straight chair with his cane in front of him.
I looked around and marveled at the changes in our lives.
When we met he would be the life of the party, joking and laughing and a full head of black hair.
42 years ago when we met this family, (the Colosios), Darlene and I were having the babies. I had a new one in 67, and she had one in 68 then I had one in 70 and she in 71. I had one older child and she had two older. That was our lives, Our babies, our church and our families.
We have been to their children's weddings, and births of their grandchildren. Now their little girl who was 6 years old in 1967, is going to be the grandmother.
Life has taken a full circle for us.
As I sat there and talked to the other Grandpa, I asked if this was his first grandchild. Yes, It is.
He seemed in shock since he has a child about 7 years old.
It bought back memories of the birth of my first Grandchild. June 1989.. In July we had a family reunion at our home in the country. As family arrived we were so happy to see, not only our Grandson was new, but our two nephews had new baby boys too. So we had Josh, John and Jordan. As I walked through the kitchen, someone called me Grandma, I turned and with a huge smile, said "Grandma, Me Grandma?" We have that scene on video.
Such wonderful memories, Now my Grandson is old enough to make me a Great grandma, As Ron and Darlene are now becoming Great grandparents.
What a beautiful circle of life. How blessed to have friends we can share so much with.
Christianity, Births, Marriages, Deaths and undying friendship.
May it continue forever.
