Forgotten friend
As I walk my dog I always notice new things and here in a small bunch of beautiful white birch is an old forgotten friend, left behind to watch the world from it’s lonely spot above. It’s sun faded and ripped and stuck real good, but it’s not forgotten now.
Advice?
I’m so torn up inside, I have been trying not to cry consistently, part of me says fine if that’s the way he wants it then let it be.
The other part says no, u don’t get to call me mom just when u want to, either I am or I am not.
I haven’t talked to him, he may have said not to tell me anything
Or, she’s doing it because she is enjoying the attention and she is and has only seen the good side.
I’m the one that got nasty messages from angry people who’s car he stole.
I’m torn, what do I do???
(For full story see previous post, y am I so bothered?)
Why is this bothering me so much??
quick summary, 8 years ago I found my ex step son on Facebook, invited him to meet his brother and then into our home and back to my heart. He called me mom, his kids call me Grammie, I knew how horribly he had been raised and how hard his life had been for him. Doing what I could for him and trying to help him was really hard, his narcissistic ways made it impossible to get him to see things different. He’s been in and out of trouble, and was arrested again last Friday for stealing cars. The part that is bothering me is the woman who he had been staying with for the past idk, 6 months is calling him her son. She has known him since birth, but I don’t know how much of his life she has been in, she has been the one in contact with the law since he was living with her and they all think she is mom, I told her I was upset finding out about him almost 24 hours after and not by her,that I felt pushed to the sidelines and that it bothered me she was calling him son, but it didn’t matter even if she said sorry and said it wasn’t like that but then still kept me in the dark about what she knew and then on Facebook she is posting how much she misses him and it’s all her son…..
this is not supposed to be about me, I have no legal right to call him son, so why is it bothering me so much that she is?
Puppy love!
My son is 15 and has his first real girlfriend, I am terrified!! He is extremely sensitive and when something happens it will be like a wall hitting him. I could hope they r a rarity and stay together forever but, one in a million there! It is the one month anniversary and he wanted to get her something, he got all these and brought them home and asked me to put the flowers into a bouquet for him , I had a vase I could use so I came up with this. I am bringing it to his school for him at lunch time but the school said it has to stay in the office till she leaves school. He will have to bring her to see it at the office. It’s cute and sweet and I’m proud of him!! 🤗🤗

Tragedy in Maine
One of our beloved heroes was killed while on active duty,
A Somerset County Sheriff’s corporal has been shot and killed in Norridgewock, according to the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office. He was a 13 year veteran and his son is also a part of the Somerset County Sheriff department. He was a well known and well loved member of his community.
Maine State Police say between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday, Somerset County Sheriff’s Corporal Eugene Cole was shot and killed in Norridgewock.
The suspect then stole the officers cruiser and used it to rob a Cumberland Farms store.
Shortly after 5 a.m., police say the cruiser was located off of the Martin Stream Road in Norridgewock.
That particular road leads in so many directions, one being here to my home, that the police have had to spread out across the state in search.
An active manhunt is underway for the suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous. It has been said John Williams was a very active drug user and gun collector. His Facebook page was filled with end of the world conversations.
The last time a Maine officer was shot and killed in the line of duty was 29 years ago on March 31, 1989.
This sort of things don’t happen to us here in Maine. It has shook the whole state.
please keep in mind, a person on drugs killed our hero, not the gun itself.
Our hearts and prayers are with his family as well as our active officers seeking the suspect.
Rest In Peace Maine hero
Christmas cactus blooms?
It’s strange you see my Christmas cactus is blooming again,
Is it confused or is it just so happy to see spring?
It loves its full day of sun it gets now in its new home.

Cold!!!!!
Did I blink too long and miss summer again????
My train conductor
I am one proud wife as my husband passed all the testing and goes off to start his training at Pan Am Railways today! His lifelong love of trains and knowledge of them payed off for him and he is now a train conductor!! He is already talking about moving up to engineer and being top of the class made his superiors pushing him to do so. Weeks of him away from home have been rough but seeing how happy he is makes it worth doing over and over. His ex wife had denied him this dream along with other multiple abusive things that killed his confidence and I am proud to have helped him restore all that. I feel like our past of both being abused helps us to appreciate each other more for just being ourselves. It was a long road for us both but well worth it to find this strong and deep of a mental and emotional bond with someone. I am very proud of him !!!!
Policies on emergency care for animals
My name is Kathy Stremcha
August 1st I rushed my dog to the emergency hospital in Middleton Wisconsin. Got him in there they took an x-ray, came back told me it was bloat. I told them well fix him basically. They told me their policy is money up front before they can proceed. No no no….I want you to get him in there please he’s my baby!
We need 3000.00 before we can proceed. I told them I can get if but he’s sleeping he’s a truck driver and he’s not answering the phone. PLEASE GET HIM IN THERE. Nope…I had to choose let him suffer,or put him to sleep. That is ridiculous he was everything to me….my constant companion( Dr.orders) I have ptsd and agoraphobia.. he was Akc registered Great Dane (blue) champion bloodlines….and they took him from me.
