Better Days

A blog is a diary of thoughts and feelings. It seems that mine has been full of sadness lately. I am hoping for better days and happier posts. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.......

SHE'S GOD'S AUNT CELINDA NOW

Celinda Josephine Kelsey, daughter of the late J. Harley and Sarah Elizabeth (Minnick) Ashlock, was born May 27, 1919, at Doby Springs, Oklahoma, and passed away May 1, 2008, at Tomball, Texas, at the age of 88 years, 11 months, and 4 days. Celinda lived in Waynoka during her high school years and graduated from Waynoka High School. On April 17, 1938, she was united in marriage to Roscoe Kelsey. To this union two children, Bill Dean and Linda Diane were born. They lived in Waynoka until the Santa Fe Railroad closed the roundhouse, at which time they moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. She worked in the school cafeteria in Albuquerque and was promoted to manager before she retired. Roscoe passed away June 22, 2002, and after a short time, she moved to Tomball, Texas to be near her daughter, Diane. Celinda was a member of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Albuquerque, but always considered the Waynoka First United Methodist Church her home. She was a member of Eastern Star. Her grandson, granddaughter and great grand daughter were very important in her life. She was an avid reader and enjoyed crocheting. She always enjoyed visiting with people wherever she was. Besides her parents and her husband, Roscoe, she was preceded in death by her son, Bill Dean, when he was a senior in high school; and two brothers, Bill Ashlock and A. L. "Roy" Ashlock. Celinda is survived by her daughter, Diane Snodgrass and her husband, John, of Tomball, Texas; one grandson, Michael Snodgrass and his wife, Jennifer, of Houston, Texas; one great granddaughter, Megan Snodgrass, of Houston, Texas; one brother, W. D. "Tubby" Ashlock of Happy Jack, Arizona; one sister, Nina Faye Ogden of Indiana; other relatives and many friends.

REST IN PEACE "MY AUNT CELINDA"

Say It Isn't So........

Just so you know, I stole the first two pictures from Michelle. I don't think she will mind, these are history making pictures. The third picture I posted because I like it, and it shows how gorgeous this little munchkin is. It was taken the day she turned 14.

She's going to learn to drive.....a car.......a two ton weapon.......OMG!! I guess that's what happens when they grow up. I knew this day would come, but why did it happen so fast?

I can't see Mark's face, and maybe I don't want to, was there terror in his eyes? Was he holding his head in anguish? Was he asking the question, why me Lord? OR, will he have the patience of JOB? This is what you do when you are the Dad of a teenager

You know, when I get "old", this may be my ride to the grocery store. All kidding aside, I just want to wish Valleri good luck, knowing the wonderful young lady she has turned into, she will be just fine, just not so sure about her Dad. LOL
