It's Flashback Friday Time!! | HiveBloPoMo

Hello, this is me back in 2019, & It's 'Flashback Friday'!

It's good to revisit the past through old pics, but sometimes that also mean reliving the good times with the bad.

Here I am in my new glasses, just picked them up. This is the first pair of glasses that I paid well above the insurance price for & they're name brand. Something being name brand is a big deal for me, I very seldom purchase name brand items. I do have brands that I like but I'm not willing to pay the price for somebody's name. I find just as good of quality at cheaper prices. They're 'Nine West' by the way.

Out Walking (2).png

These are photos of me out walking back then. I used to walk about 10 miles everyday back in 2019 & I racked up on AFIT tokens back then. Most days were more then 10,000 activity points. I would get out in all kinds of weather, all times of the year. I did this for over a year & wish I had what it takes to do it again. So many health issues now & the fact that things have gotten so bad scares me just a little.

Cabin TN (2).png

This was an awesome vacation with my sister-in-law (may she R.I.P.) & her husband. For me this was a vacation within a vacation. I went to Tennessee to visit my mother and had planned to be gone for about a month, so when my husband decided that he wanted to take this trip, I made plans to meet him so we could enjoy time with his sister & husband, & I'm so glad we did because this was the last family trip we had with her before she was called home last year.

Wedding B4 Bday (2).png

This was a great time for me, it's the day before my birthday & our cousin is getting married. We had a great time at the wedding & reception. And since it was also my birthday the next day, you can say I bought it in with a bang. The party continued at the couples house and let's just say that my husband drank light that night cause he had to get us home.

Born the Same Day (2).png

WOW! Ain't God good! He Blessed me with a granddaughter & a great-granddaughter all on the same day within the same hour. Thank God I didn't have to be with both. I was with my son (R.I.P.), when his 2nd daughter arrived. I got to welcome little Sophia into the world shortly after she arrived.

Under that is the second blessing God bestowed upon me that very same day. Look at baby Mylah! I didn't get to see her til the next day but I made it. She arrived shortly after Sophia but she was across town in a different hospital.

And the Blessing just keep coming! This is a grandson born in December. I have so many grandchildren I lost count, like 26 I think. I know I have 7 great- grands.

Well I probably could go on & on about old times, god & sad, but I must close this post at some point. I could probably write a book with all my pictures. This is the one thing I truly love about cellphones, you're always ready to take a picture.

Thanks for reading & sharing in my 'Flashback"!

Nice walk down memory lane, Char.
It is crazy that your grandchild and great-grandchild were born on the same day.

Do you know all the names of your 26 grandchildren? I would never be able to keep them all straight. Thanks for sharing on ListNerds.

I do know all the names, if I had to list them I would do it by who their mother or father is. It's the birthdays that I sometimes forget.

well I have four kids and I struggle to catch the "right" name for the right kid.

It wasn't a problem with three but when I added the fourth... chaos.

My family is much the same way, our brains were all oranized and well kept, then that bonus baby showed up and book, everyone gets called "kid" now.

Thanks!
I don't envy your grandmother, 64, now that's a lot of grands. I would probably call them all 'hey you'. LOL.

Usually everyone chips in, but I wouldn't really know since for the last 10 years or so I've left the preparations up to others.

I have 41 cousins on my mother's side alone. So much comes with big families.

Side note. You're 2 days away from finishing the month. Congrats on holding on.

Most days it is wonderful and when holidays roll around, you really don't need others around cause the family fills any venue. There are times when things get hected and stressful, but it's still a wonderful Blessing all in all.

I was so happy to read your post.

I wanted to talk to you, to tell you to walk, to let you know that you could do it.

I wanted to hug you because I felt so sad hearing from those who have been "called home."

And I was so happy to hear of the new babies being born but WHAT! that's a lot of children and great grandchildren.

I hope to have lots too.

Thank you for sharing, I feel like I know you just a little now.
