Spending time with my grandkids. Thatsit!!

Camping, cooler weather, raking and jumpin in leaves, and fall colors

Nurse by day; Mamaw at night!

Decisions 1. Trying to decide if I need to do more shopping....lol 2. decide where to eat out or if I should just cook

FIDDLE 1. The first thing I think of is my brother in law who was a great fiddle player, Now his grandson is a sophomore plays the fiddle on Lindburgh High School Strolling Strings, they are great 2. I fiddle with my hand embroidery work 3. Love to fiddle with pictures on the computer, just made christmas cards inserts, verses in frames 4. Love the fiddle around with scrapbooking techniques

I think everyone will say time goes by too fast, but something else I have realized is that it gets faster as you age. Take the time to do something you enjoy, even if you feel you dont have time to spare, make it happen. Always make time to be with your grandkids, they grow up even quicker than your kids...

I remember: 9-11 I was at work, I'm a nurse in One Day Surgery, many patients had tvs on and we heard the news as soon as it was on tv. We all continued working but had our eyes on the tv, The whole department became incredibly quiet I worried about both my kids who were in school at the time. I remember feeling vulnerable, and very frightened with what was going on in our country. I remember praying intermittently for all the people and their families. Last year I did a mosaic 2 page lay out in honor of 9-11, it is one of my favorite projects

I went on a scrapbook cruise and the glimmer mist lady was on the cruise, I fell in love with her products and use it all the time. Great product

What made me happy this week My Grandkids!!!

School, books, kids running in the hall, noise glad those days are behind me

Well I guess we are all on same track, the first thing I thought of was marriage love honor, but I'm not sure about the obey.... Always honor and respect your parents, and I hope I have taught my children that as well, but sometimes I wonder?? My oldest son has a statement about who he most repects and admires on his facebook page, I was actually quite surprised to see "my parents" Maybe he learned something afterall.

Preparing for Labor Day week end camp out which includes family get togethers..

Well I'm Catholic and we are baptized as small babies. I have no memories of this. Both of my children and grandchildren were baptized the same way. My Mother in law gave each child a bank with 10 dollar coins...I have these tucked away...I have continued that tradition and bought both my grand kids piggy banks with 10 dollar coins.

We went to Panama City Beach in June, and I just completed my vacation scrapbook. I love the ocean, and we always have great times vacationing there. I also love to cruise and spent as much time on the ocean as possible.....I should move!!!

Mirror mirror on the wall....I am my mother after all. Thats a scary thought....but I actaully find that I am just like my mother. Always kept her hands busy.. Hand embroidery, and quilting. I too keep my hands busy when relaxing. I love hand embroidery (I have an embroidery machine too), and my to do list is to hand quilt. I love to embroidery quilt blocks to make a quilt top just like my mother!!

Family Meals 1. all time favorite spaghetti pie, have handed that recipe to everyone 2. lasagne 3. hamburger and french fries 4. anything BBQ

A teacher 1. At many crops people frequently see mosaic moments and want to learn how, not sure if im a good teacher but do let them look and borrow my book 2. Taught my kids how to roller skate, tie shoes ride back and so on.......

Scars 1. I have a scar on my right hand that I have no memory, however, have heard the story many time. My sister 8 years old was carry me I was 6 weeks old and my hand somehow got under a hot apple pie!! She got into a lot of trouble, and I was left with a scar on my right hand. It actually helped me remember my right from my left... 2. Cooking fried chicken and greased splashed on my left fore arm, still have that scar

Happiness is 1. Grandkids!!!! nothing makes me happier than my 2 little boys, 2. vacation.....to the beach in 2 weeks 3. Scrapbook week end get aways with the girls, always a great time

Lifes Lessons 1. To be more outspoken and not let people walk all over me 2. Seems like lots of problems in my life in recent years and always weighed me down....Ive turned that around in last year to be more positive...If you cant change then dont droll on it, get over and move forward. Or as Julie says.....it is what it is..... 3. Live, laugh love 4. I had to learn to say no...its easy to take on too much and get overwhelmed with life

You really are an optimist....I've often wondered how you do it...fav phrase i learned from you....it is what it is

Makes me laugh 1. My grandsons levi and blake always make me laugh 2. Movie Brother where art thou 3. Same hospital humor that Julie likes (I work in GI lab and some stuff that goes on in there....lol)

Last November our family went to neices wedding in Kansas City, KS, My son had a paper due in college to visit, take pictures, and write a paper about a Missouri historical site. We decided to pick something out of the ordinary and went to Arrow Rock State Park. 1. Love the historical main street, just like yesteryear 2. The old jail is now a restaurant that served Family Style Meals: only thing on menu...we sat around a family table and was served a big bowl of salad, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried chicken and apple pie for desert. We had never been to a family style restaurant but enjoyed the family time 3. Went to museum and took a walking tour of local old home that had been restored. Turned out to be a great family day (especially since my kids are adults and that just doesnt happen anymore) and lots of great pictures

My childhood friends: 1. my closest friend thru grade school was kelly jo 2. She lived by the little pink store (a very small grocery store where we walked to get candy every day) 3. We went to catholic grade school and all the kids would meet in the evening in the playground 4. We rode bikes and roller skated together 5. Love to swim in the summer 6. Her family moved to Iran for about a year, but they came home with out her father....he later was part of the iran hostage situation. It was close to a year before they saw him again 7 we grew apart in high school and she moved away, she returned as an adult and occasionally saw her at church, then we moved away. Lost touch after that
