THANKFUL THURSDAY MY BOJON HERITAGE BASEBALL

 THANKFUL THURSDAY

 

Anne Marie about 1957
I am thankful that I am that little girl who grew up in the best household with the best parents.


Raised by this father of mine, He was a steel worker and the best baseball catcher I ever heard the stories of.   


Thankful for this mother of mine! With my two dogs Gigi and her daughter Renee. I would love to have another poodle someday. They were so smart and so talented. My mom was a good mother to them too. She took exquisite care of them. I am thinking the pup in mom's left arm may be one of the boys Gigi. Napoléon or Frenchie. The poodle Gigi was breed with received the pick of the litter. I did not want to see them take one of her pups but that's how it all works. Napoleon went to my sis Mary and Frenchie to my mom's sister Ann. They were all so beautiful. 


This 1969 bronze colored Chevy truck looks like the one my father drove. I am sad that is disappeared and who know's where? Such a sad heart because my daddy took care of all of our vehicles. My dad wanted my nephew Charles to have his truck but without a will there was nothing to do about that. Lots of beautiful memories in that truck. Dad had Papa Smurf hanging from his rear view mirror. I recently found one and I will treasure it. Papa Smurf is looking through a looking glass. It was sweet, because when dad started his truck that little Smurf would  turn and look through that looking glass. My dad got a kick out of him. Thankful for my dad and his memories no one can take from me. 


Jeremy lost Stella Bella , his precious girl on July 13th. She would have turned 18 in August 2024. She was a street pup and he rescued her. She had an exceptionally beautiful life with Jeremy and later his wife and children too. Listening to Chuck Swindoll one morning studying in the book of Revelation, Chuck stopped to tell a little story. He said if you don't believe animals go to Heaven, you are going to be shocked when Jesus comes out of the clouds riding on a horse! It gave us comfort to think of that day. Praying it is soon. 


I will leave you with a beautiful hymn. I hope you will research the sadness behind this hymn. But what a beautiful story it really is. 

Thank you for stopping by. I will visit soon.

My condolences to all who knew and loved Stella. I know she was a wonderful dog.

It's sad the way things get lost or end up going to the winds when someone is gone. The Smurf sounds precious.

Blogger will not allow me to correct my errors here. I am getting the garbled version of my posts when I try to repair them. Arghhh. Not tech savvy!

Thank you! I still need to fill in my answers. The kids left today and I am sad, missing that cute grandbaby. The spent the night in an RV park in Nebraska. Stella was a real sweetheart. You know that empty feeling when you lose those precious fur babies you take care of and they have to leave. '-(

Thank you. Life is hard and people can complicate it and make it harder. Only God is in control. I feel badly I vent sometime. I need to take my mother's advice and PRAY HARDER! Oh Stella, she was a saintly girl. But her life was so good once Jeremy brought her home. It's hard losing them. Hugs to you.
