That's what Mac said when we were on our way to spend our honeymoon in Miami - there we were on the train, and I said "well good that's all over", thinking about all the ups and downs of getting married, getting the dress made (my good friend's mom made it)..making the lists of the guests, worry,  worry, having a sty in my left eye sleeping all night with a tea bag on it..and finally the ceremony at the Church, the reception at the Ritz, and now we were on our way...just the two of us.  Mac answered saying "hey it went too fast..I wanted to hang on to every moment, remember it, savor it"..and that's how he was.




Our babies, how we loved them, and how he said, when they were growing up and reached adulthood, "hey that went too fast"...I was thinking he also said that about our grandkids, and how I wish he could have heard, Finley, our great granddaughter age 3 and a bit, say when we were in the car, " granjan, we just passed Costco..when I was a little kid I used to call it Cawco",  well how he would have loved that one..




.Nostalgia time I guess it is for sure, as each Christmas we have our traditions...today I collected all the decorations, the little tree, the special candles, and put them all down in the basement, it took all of twenty-five minutes...When I think of how long it took in our house in the past,  how I would find pine needles in cracks and crevices in June, well I guess one could say it's an improvement.  But now I find the little thoughts of our children growing it's like seeing and hearing the things they said in my head ,and seeing  the fun we had in the cracks and crevices of my mind's eye.  I wonder if I can put a song I heard on radio...get it on  youtube then put it in my blog... -think I'll try:- well didn't work, it's called




  You've got to hold on - it goes so fast,  those baby days they don't last.




They sure don't, but we have had them, so must appreciate and move on...I will put more of Macs memories from way back, as Les found some letters to me from Mac, so  if I can take some words from them - without becoming a bit of a basket case - I'll do that.




In the meantime, listening to jazz tonight, Jeff Healey's "I'd do anything for You"  and Chopin's piano sonata this morning  , both are among  Mac's favourites...so with that playing in my mind....I'll say g'nite.
