It's amazing how much time and money is consumed with hunting, but I am having a great time hunting with my pops..... Dylan..... Steve and my husband when he is home...

Grandmas
Last summer, my mom worked on a special version of Que Sera and taught it to my sister’s kids, Hailey and Trevan.
When my sister’s mother-in-Law (the kid’s other grandma) was sick and in the hospital, Hailey and Trevan sang that same song to her. My sister recorded the singing as Trevan did his best to speed through the song while Hailey finished at a slower pace.
In the video, you can see how happy and grateful Ellen was to hear her two only grand children sing such a sweet custom song to her.
I don’t know if she knew my mom had taught them the song, I know she wouldn’t have cared either way, but I can bet that when my mom was teaching the kids the song she did not know what a true blessing that very song would bring to Ellen.
My mom loved Ellen very much and was happy to share her special song with the other grandma who’s days were numbered and every precious moment mattered more than we will ever know.
THEIR SONG
(may not be 100% accurate):
When I was just a little girl/boy
I asked my grandma what will I be
Will I be pretty/handsome will I be rich
Here’s what she said to me
Que Sera Sera
What ever will be will be
There’s one thing for sure
You’ll be special to me

Random Memory
A weird and random memory popped into my head today.
When I was in elementary school, mind you elementary school, there was a girl who rode the bus with me. She was sucking on a baby pacifier. I couldn't help but to stare, but I wasn't the only one staring. Someone asked her why she was sucking on a pacifier.
She pulled it from her mouth and said that it was to help her get off drugs. She did not laugh and was very serious about it.... 5th grade was the oldest she could have possibly been, unless- and this is probably the case - she repeated a grade or two, but either way it was disturbing and weird.
That's all I have to say about that random memory.

Life
Life is not fair, but life is not fair for everyone... which actually makes it fair.
Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we
should forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over
grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. Instead we should devote our time on worthwhile thoughts and actions. Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.
Everyone in life is gonna hurt you, you just have to figure out which people are worth the pain!
I am not sure who the author is, someone posted it on facebook and said they didn't know who the author was, but it was too good to ignore....
