This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 03, 2008:
I love spending money on my only children, Martin and Harry. Oh and I suppose you could also say Poly my dog. He is like my third son.
I am posting a picture of my younger son Harry. I took this while he was visiting for 24 hours earlier this week. He has been living down in the city with a girl I have never met since January. I saw him briefly in may when I moved marty out of his dorm. It was mother's day and he showed up late to help. We had lunch and i said goodbye. That was three months ago. We talk on the phone here and there.
I took this picture to send to his school for his college ID card. I took it against the wall in the den. you can see part of the kitichen. I hope it works.
I love to buy things for both of them. They had birthdays recently. I bought them stocking stuffer kind of things at Ten thousand villages. I bought marty a bat puppet and some odd musical instruments that he can use in his recordings. I bought harry a weird rabbit head pig butt magnet that fits together and a bag of stone cats and a bar of chocalate and some other stuff.
I went to target today and bought college supplies for harry. He wasn't with me but i had very much fun. I bought him some striped towels that he might hate but I figure that they won't get mixed up with everybody else's. I bought him two bowls, a plate and a glass. All green and plastic. A bath mat. batteries, band-aids and antibiotic ointment. toothpaste and two toothbrushes. i can only hope. laundry detergent. biodegradable cleansing stuff in a spray bottle and gloves just in case. an alarm clock, garbage pail, bags and desk lamp. an under the bed storage container. I also purchased a broom and dust pin but there was no price on this so I said forget it. I wanted to buy this because when I helped marty move this may, he had no broom. his floor was disgusting. I had to borrow a hand brush from the security guard to clean it up. I don't plan on doing that again.
hmm. I think that is it, oh and toilet paper.
and of course sheets that won't qutie fit because they don't make sheets 36 by 80 and a pillow and a comforter and a sponge thing that sits on the mattress that he most likely won't use.
Harry won't really care but I enjoyed myself immensely buying stuff for him today.

You are such a talented writer. I love to read your blogs.
You are such a mother. You think of everything so lovingly.
It's 2 am. and I am off to bed.
Such a lovely piece to read as I say “goodnight”
(((hugs))
Here it's crayons and paint brushes and pencils. Some day I make muffins and bring them upstairs to Nico…and sometimes he needs toilet paper too :-)
Jenni you're wonderful
hey mimi, it is so nice to see you. thank you for reading my blog and being so kind. I think I shall come and visit you right now.B.B., I remember the crayon days. I passed that aisle yesterday and did hesitate. Maybe he needs some scissors or pencils or something or paste. I love the crayon box. The colors on it.the smell. Well anyway, love your little face.
Dear Sweet jenni,
You are the poster girl for unconditional love. deep bows _^_
I think you should come and visit me too. maze and i were going to have lunch, and some other gaia friends are coming to visit me this month. If I give you the date, will you try to come? Mini gaia gathering Whoo Hooooooooo!
hey mimi, let me know the date. I would like to come visit. jen
I wish I lived nearby all of you guys. Jenni, what a sweet mother you are. I love buying things like what you mentioned, for friends. I don't give Christmas presents cause I gift all year. I give when I think to give and not because someone says, this is the time to do it. And I love your writing too. You write about real stuff, stuff that is being lived. I so enjoy our chats and our friendship. You are special to me.
Oh, and boys that age … well, their floors are usually disgusting.
i love you I love you johnny. I think that you should look into a summer home up here. you need to get away from the heat I am sure and mimi and I could look in on you. she is not that far from me.I wish I could be near you as well and I so much want to see where you live. I might have to find a reason to visit Georgia.His floor was pretty gross. all sorts of stuff including some condoms. Not used thank goodness. ” marty,” I said ” and what might this be? ” He just shrugged and put on another record. We alway have to listen to music when we are moving out.Hey and carla doesn't live far from me either, not really. We really have to plan something.
Carla lives near you? I thought she was out in the midwest. going to recheck her blog.
We need Carla for the Niagara meet up too.
I want to meet John one day too, somehow I will, I just know it.
(((hugs)) all around.
i thought she lived in maine. I might be crazy. better check. we all need to get together some how.
yep she lives in maine. I am not sure how far from me but how far can it be?
Nice blog, Jenni. I had fun buying stuff like that for Jesse when he bought his house (instead of going off to college as expected & breaking his mother's heart, remember?) I had these huge piles of stuff for him and he was so surprised and then when he started figuring out everything that he needed, I think he was grateful. Harry will be in his own way too (grateful that is). I still have to buy the school stuff too. These days it's not just crayons, you have to buy those little computer chip thingies etc & Amanda's cheerleader outfit just ran me $210 even though we did fundraisers! Geeze.
But here I am rambling about myself when I meant to compliment you on your blog and thank you for sharing yourself and your world. I love you.
Ayla
sweetest ayla of always, thank you so much for coming by and saying hi and sharing your life with me. Wow a cheerleading outfit for 210$ that seems a little over the top. It is always so wonderful to see you. love your icon.I am moving harry in on the 22nd. Hopefully he shows up. We will meeting him down there. It won't be like with marty but I can only hope for the best. He is doing a little better, harry I mean. at least we talk now and then. He came home as i said for 24 hours. He did play a couple of games of ping pong with me. That was something. I am so happy about jesse and his house. is he the one who had the baby? I get your boys confused. It not always about college. They all have to grow up eventually some how.i love you michelle/aylajen
