About Me

My photo
Deep South, United States
First I am a mother of two sons, Chad 35 and Ryan 32. Through these beautiful sons, I have been blessed with two beautiful daughter-in-laws, Kelli and Erin. As a result of these beautiful wives comes three beautiful grands, Connor first and the only one for fives years. Then, Kelli and Chad blessed me with another beautiful grandson, Cooper, who is now three. Ryan and Erin blessed me with my first granddaughter, Presley, and now Presley has brother, Harper, who is 2. My blog is really all about family. The reason I chose Magnolia Memories as my blog title is I am from Mississippi! I love Magnolia's. Memories is something that I make everyday. I still have my mother who will be 89 on her birthday in April. My life is centered around my beautiful family. Life is GOOD!

CLOSING OUT 2009...OPENING 2010

I really hope that this New Year brings more to my life.
After losing my job in July.I really thought I would be
off for about 2 or 3 weeks then I would find a job and
everything would be ok..Wrong answer....Still no job each day
becomes more and more devasting. Christmas was very hard..
No extra money just barely enough to pay rent and keep the water
and power on...The true meeting of Christmas is the celebrating of Christ's
birthday. I do know the true meeting.....I did not even put up a tree..Connor just couldn't understand...Cooper didn't care..Presley was to young to know the difference....All in all
there will be no horns blowing at my house tonight..Just glad to be able to close this
door...Open a New Year in the morning and hope for my life to get better!!!!! I know
there are probably some of you in the same situation..If you are please stop by and say
something to me..I feel all alone... Happy New Year 2010.............................
