social event

sister susy is at it again. she went to kaye's and prepared a delectable dinner for the Howard clan. Even sweet dumplin momma came along. mother hasn't been out of the house for a while and went to teresa's for dinner Sunday and went to kayes for dinner today.  she has a hard time keeping up with all the events of her seven children. I can not imagine life with seven children looking at me for meals, clothes, medical attention, and lord knows what else. Her health will not allow her to do so much these days, but she still keeps a pretty close eye on the bunch. I have been working alot elsewhere and I know she gets lonesome and I think going out a bit helps at least break the monotiny of sitting at home. No particular crisis going on right now and I am so thankful for that. sister kaye-kaye has a struggle every day and I guess we all do to some extent. I have learned a lot in the last few years and I don't know if it is my age or just finally realizing things around me. I never could slow down. I am a nurse. I sew, crochet, sing, and various other things. Never had a desire to go away from home much and never had a lack of something to do. now  I often wonder if I'd been able to slow down and take in those books and movies and education, would my life have been so different? I really don't think so. I was absolutely born to care for people. I never have been materialistic. So if I felt there was a need, I stopped my life and took care of someone else. I have always loved nature and see so much wonder in the things that are so simple. the miricle of a child being born to any being is still a wonder.
