I had a candle party tonight. It was nice. Some friends came over and the candle lady lights a bunch of candles, shows what some of the different candle holders and candles look like lit. It’s really nice. I never use to like candles all that much. but now since I started hanging around Marva, she always has them lit, even during the day. And I have started really enjoying them. Maybe it’s just i’m getting older. Because I never use to like taking a bath all that much, it was always a shower, in, scrub, wash, and out, usually 10 min. or so. Now, i enjoy soaking in the tub for about 15-20 min. every once in a while.

Well, not much of an eventful day as far as anything else that is interesting. I did go to the shop today and did a bit but i seemed to squander my time away today. I finally got home about 4:30 - 5 then i got the grass cut in an hour and my friend, Tanya started cleaning in the house. I helped clean the house for about an hour and a half then took a shower. Tanya is staying the night tonight. She’s a good kid. She’s 18. I’ve known her for about 5 years. She lived next door to me and i didn’t really know her for the first two years. After a while I got to know her parents and then her. I would get her to baby sit once in a while as she got older and then started having good talks about life with her. She needed someone to talk to. Her mom didn’t treat her all that great and was this royal bitch towards her. Yet her son couldn’t do no wrong yet if it were Tanya she would be giving Tanya royal shit. Anywho, I’m glad to say I know Tanya is on the right track in life. I feel like a mom to her, yet also a friend. I suppose it’s changed over time from Mom like to a friend. Sometimes it is back and forth. Depends on her need. Also, for the longest time my youngest son wanted to marry her. It use to be so cute. Now that he’s older he doesn’t feel that way any more. But I’m sure he wanted to marry her for about 4 years. It’s only been in the last year or so that he’s out grown her. *laughs at out grown her*
sounds funny to me
anywho......just figured it out, it’s been 8 years going on 9 that i’ve known Tanya. But like I said it was only after about 2 years that I really got to know her but then again why would i have been around a 10 year old kid when i was in my early 20’s?

well i suppose i should go to bed now
getting pretty tired
and gotta go to the shop in the morning and get over to my dad’s to sew up a hole in the camper’s canvas for him
so........
toodles
take care
lot’s o’ love
