For Mark and Carol

Music speaks to me, so I seem to post music videos on my blog. Lately, I have been thinking about lost loved ones.....mostly Carol but I have lost other loved ones as we all have. I know Jennifer thinks of Mark often and we both miss our spouses, so this song is for Carol and Mark, we will see you when God calls us to Heaven.



For other widow(er)s who listen to the words to this song, I hope it brings you comfort and peace. I always liked this song even before I "knew" death.

If only life were this simple.........

I always loved this song and associated it with good times in my life. Unfortunately, if assholes could fly, my life would be an airport right now.

Penny, my new Doberman

"Can I have another treat please?"


"Let's play Dad"




Penny and Oscar, her Bichon buddy playing "Hey that's MY TOY, give it back". They are great friends and play well together.

For my Sweetie!!!!

Yes Penny......this is all about you!!!!! I am so happy you came into my life.

Radar Love

Enough said.......just how I feel this morning.....



One person will "get it"

Life is good.......

Words that would not have rolled off my tongue nearly four years ago, I simply wanted to curl up and die. I have lived and learned so much since September 14, 2004...the day my true love died.

Carol, I will always love you but you were called to Heaven much to early. One day we shall meet again and I have no idea what it will be like but I know it will be much better than the pain and suffering here on Earth. So until then, just know that I love you and miss you but......I must make the best of what is left here for me.

I have a new doggie, her name is Penny. I am certain she was a gift from God. I have a new Lady in my life, her name is Jennifer, I am certain she is also a gift from God.

Life is good.....but I still miss you.

These songs are for Carol, Jennifer and Penny......I love you all!!!

Tuesday Afternoon

Beyond the obvious, can you tell I am bored? Must be something about Tuesdays.

My next Toy

Yup, I am getting one.

For Jennifer..............

Not much to say.......will let the music say it for me.......

Another sleepless night

More strange dreams, this one was vivid and I remember details. I have been awake since 3 am trying to figure out what the hell it means.

I wouldn't call it a nightmare but just weird, how can people from different years in one's life come together into a dream? My ex-wife, my kids, Carol and my stepsons, Jennifer and her kids and my new Dobie (that I will not get until Friday) WTF?

Most nights I seem to sleep just fine but not tonight (this morning), is it being a widower? Is it, is it, is it?

Who knows, but yesterday was a wonderful day and perhaps knowing that the weather today is going to crappy plays. UGH, maybe I can still catch a few winks before sunrise.

Strange, very strange.

The new Lady in my life.

She is a beautiful four year old Dobie. She recently lost her home and I am adopting her. I should be able to begin being her "dad" in about a week, she needs to be spayed before coming to live with me. Here are some photos of my new lady. Here name is Nicki and I cannot wait to have her living with me.

A song about my mother's neighbor

Blowin' off more steam

Awake early again, trying to blow off some steam. I am sick of people trying to get a free ride off of others. I hope when I get to my mother's house later today that her SCUMBAG neighbor is not home because I might just kick his sorry ass.

Instincts always seem correct, I didn't like him from day one and it proved right. I just need to set him straight. I shouldn't be put in this position but I cannot stand around while he takes advantage of my mother. I will do what must be done.

Back to blowin' off some steam........



BTW, Anyone remember this group or song? Nevermind, guess I am getting old, LOL. Name that group and song. Let me make it even harder, name that truck, doubt anyone can but go ahead, the insignia is in the video (OK,OK not fair because I used to work on those Gawdam monsters) Ugh, I hated trucks and their flat tires.

Sorry to be short but.........

As promised I am following up:

1) I miss Jennifer, enough to make me sad and pissy.
2) My stepson only calls for money, last time I looked my forehead did not say "The Bank of Ron", sorry but I am out of that business Nick.
3) I need to help my mother, her "helpful" neighbor is taking advantage of her.

I would and could say much more but I cannot or will not.

Ron

Strange Weekend

I am pondering my weekend with mixed emotions, overall wonderful but with a couple catches. I will write about the entire thing later but for now I need to listen to some LOUD music from my college days and think about it all.
Namely:

1) I had a wonderful weekend with Jennifer.
2) I received yet another demand for cash from my stepsons.
3) My mother was taken advantage of by one of her "douche bag" neighbors.



More later when I verbalize my emotions and decide what to do.

One of my last good memories of Carol

I guess this is turning into a video blog but who cares? I recall holding Carol's hand while this song played on the radio in her new "kick ass" SUV that I bought her...oh how I wish we could have that again.



I really miss that sassy woman!!!

Almost 4 years later, I have my hands full!!!

Bad Dreams...........

For the past few weeks I have been having nightmares.....waking between 2 am and 4 am and I am just weak and tired. They never make sence, and I cannot recall detail once wide awake.

I try to go back to sleep but in the end I am just exhausted!!!



Sandman............PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!! No wonder I sleep with a 9MM, yet you cannot shoot and kill things in your head. I hate bad dreams, time to load the shotgun I guess.

And more music, this kicks ass!!!!

'nuff said



JENNIFER!!! You know exactly what that means.

Just enjoying music these days

Not much to say, just enjoying the warm weather and good music



Life can still be good even after losing my dear Carol.
