August 9th Blog Prompt

todays blog prompt hosted by Joy Kuoha at www.designsindigital.com is : What would you do with an extra $100 a week?

wow what a great question ...hmmm more digi kits....lol...no really with three daughters an extra $100 might as well be $10...there is always some new fashion thingy they have to have cause everyone else has it...then if they dont get it their lives are over...lol..an extra $100 should go a long ways but not these days a pair of jeans can fork you out $100 easy..amazing i remember for that kind of money i could get all my school shopping done...boy did i just date myself..now i see 9 year olds walking around with cell phones and fashion this and that...wow..it still surprises me...but then if i didnt have daughters i would be the one walking around in those $100 pair of jeans...id rather it be my girls its amazing how fast they grow up and the different choice of styles they choose...great question joy...thanks

blog prompt..your closest childhood friend-and what was she like?

Joy Kuoha from www.designsindigital.com has started a thread about our closest childhood friend-and what was she like?

I would have to say my closest friend would have to be Edlena Ellison...our fathers were stationed in germay..it was a hard move for me at 10 yrs old..leaving everyone and everything i knew behind state side...i didnt know anyone or how to speak the language...until i met edlena..she was german and african american...her mother was german and made sure she didnt loose her heritage...so edlena spoke german and that was great...we lived in the same town about a mile away from each other...we would walk back and forth to each others house..you couldnt seperate us if you tried...we did everything together..germany is a beautiful country to live in..we rode our bikes every where that was the main source of transportation...we would go to neighboring towns and look at the beautiful country side...our main thing to do together would be to go swimming...there are amazing amount of swimming pools and outdoor swimming pools that looked like a golf course...it was the most popular thing to do..we would go everyday we could...after swimming there was always a fest going on in our town or neighboring towns...thats where we would be...it was great her grandfather would come and visit and take us to the guesthouse is the english way to say it but it was more like a bar...her grandfather would order german beer for us and we thought that was so cool...it is not like the states...getting together eating and drinking was a daily thing in our town...so everyone could wind down from a hard days of work..the food was always so good..we did everything together...then my step father got orders to move again and i had to say good bye to my best friend...since they were in different fields in the miltary we didnt get staioned in the same place again...we wrote to each other often but then we just grew apart..how sad she was a great friend and i will never forget her...thanks for the great blog prompt joy it brought back great memories that i havent thought of for awhile...
