Janet's Story

Well, hello, to my classmates, from sooooooooooo long ago! Really, though, I sure would enjoy hearing from any of you, out there. It's been a very long time! How those years fly by!! I'll start by saying, Bob & I have been married, going on 39yrs. WOW!! Now, those years, sure did fly on by, too, darn fast!! I have the white hair, to prove it! Ha,Ha! We were blessed with five healthy children, and they produced eight healthy grandchildren, for us to love and enjoy! I sure do have fun with all of them. We do alot of laughing, which I love to do! They think, their grandma is goofy! Our oldest son(37)has been in the army for over 17yrs. He's serving in Afghanistan, which he'll be there, for quite sometime, yet. I'd appreciate prayers for him, his unit, and ALL the rest of any military being over there. THANK YOU! Our three daughter's, age(soon-to-be 35),33&31 live locally, except one. She lives down in Louisiana, very near New Orleans. She & her boyfriend lost their house and belongings, from Hurricane Katrina. It was very devastating! His family lost everything, too. They all moved away, except my daughter. Her boyfriend just couldn't part, where he's familiar with. So, they've decided to give it a try, again. So far, so lucky! She's a dental asst., and has been, since just after graduating from high school. My other two daughter's, work locally, in stores. My youngest son, is a roofer, since, soon after graduating from high school. He does some out-of-state jobs. He lives near Mt.Pleasant. So, they all have busy lives. Guess, that's a long enough story about my family. Before I forget, I love to cook, bake, work in my pretty flower beds, watch some soap operas, and other good stuff on TV. I, also enjoy going for walks, which I have to maintain a healthy heart,cause I had a double bypass, over three years ago. My doctor's told me, I was lucky to still have been alive, as I was a walking time bomb! Now, that was a SHOCK!! Bob has dealt with prostate cancer, which was a very trying time, for all of us. We were told, just three months after my heart surgery! We sure didn't expect news, like that! We got through it, just like he did with all the radiation, and seeds implanted. Doctor's told us, he was very close, in having it BAD! He, also has diabetes. So, we...Expand for more
've been quite lucky, and very thankful, to still be here on earth! Hope all of you, out there are Happy & Healthy. I, mostly, love to spend family gatherings at my house, with my children and grandchildren. They all love to come home for the dinners! Isn't that the way it goes! Take care & Blessings to ALL! Janet(Szilagyi)Griffin I always wanted to be a mommie when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a nice idea. As it turns out, they were right. I blow off steam, by talking about it. Sometimes, I even laugh over it, depending, on what it was. I like to relax, by sitting outside, with ice cold pop, or water, and enjoy the nice weather in the summer, and the beauty of the country life, and the quietness. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is, Diane Zruna, because I miss her. We use to laugh all the time!. I never did anything wild in school. I was on the quiet side, except, when I was with my girlfriends. Life sure isn't the way you'd hope, to expect it to be! Myself, and my family were shocked, when my oldest son, called from Hawaii(when he was stationed there, in the Army), and told us, he got married! We didn't even know, he had a girlfriend!! He waited, three months after he was married, to share the news. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my kitchen and add on a second bathroom. My dream home would be elegant and compfy. I don't know, if I've learned from my kids, but they've learned alot from me! Hopefully, it was all good! I'd love to see my Shorthand Teacher, Mrs.Monroe. She was like a big sister, and made the class fun and enjoyable. If I won $100 million, I'd give some of it to my church, then spend the rest on my children, a vacation and savings.. My current age is 58. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old. I was so completely wrong!! I try to stay with the latest styles, but I, also, still wear my older clothes. I'm not hard on my clothes. So, they stay in pretty good shape. I share my home with my husband. I, always,just wanted to be a mommie. And I enjoy being a grandma, now! Maybe, everyone would be surprised, at our high school reunion, to see that I have so much gray hair! Ha,Ha! In 10 years, I hope to be still living. I'm going to get there by staying healthy.
