Good Things Take Alittle Longer

Another Fourth of July has come and gone. But the hot weather has remained. 
altho' it has been the coolest fourth since 1997.

Family grilled hot dogs.  Nana made homemade ice cream and Juli and Mike brought water melon. Everyone ate way too much.


Before the church service today I found out the secretary position is coming open.  This time last year, I really wanted this job.  I would never a second thought about applying for it! I have dreamed about this little gem of a job.  Good hours, part time, off holidays and would be serving the church in a small way.  The pay is not to good, but after all it was our little church.

Then, here it is.  If all went well I would be learning a new job!  Wait a minute...................

I have had to make a decision.  Work at church or spend time with "my honey".

Since he retired, we have this drop what you're doing and take a road trip attitude. That means we go camping during the week when there is no families around, just other ole farts.

But that is not my real reason for letting this jewel of a job go. Since we have both been married before, we have never had that "honeymoon" time with each other.  It has been kinda a honeymoon since he retired.

For those of you who know us, know about "my honey" and his troubles.  I know that his time on earth is borrowed time and I have not had enough time with him yet.  He is my soul mate. Even if we never leave this house, and I watch him hitting golf balls from the living room window, I will be thrilled.

People see just a hard working man that looks like he has been rode hard and put away wet, which in many ways he has. But he picked up being a father to my daughters when bio Dad shut them out and put my life back together.  Had many hospital stays and the mid 60's. 

After many prayers and lots of tears the past couple of days, the job will have to wait.  I will be spending all my time as having fun with "my honey" and holding his hand when he is having one of his blah-saze days.
