The Fence! The Fence!

That's right, we got the fence painted on Saturday, July 25! It looks so much better, now we are moving on to the garage! Which needs a paint job worse then the fence! Looks nasty, doesn't it! With both of us painting it didn't take that long, but of course I had the bottom half of the fence! The color is red and looks pretty good. Joe did spill the paint, in the alley, looks like someone was killed out there I just love how it looks now that it is finished! Looks Good!

Miranda's First Camping Trip-07/24/09

Andrea and Miranda went camping this past weekend with my brother, his girlfriend Christina, and Micah, her daughter. They said they had a wonderful time! Christina and Micah. Andrea Miranda had a good time during the day, she was out for the count on the first night, but got up when a storm hit. They had a wonderful time, they went fishing, walked in the river, got a turtle, and went for a hike. Micah and the turtle. In the river Marty took Miranda fishing, with her Dora fishing pole, you would not believe what she got at the end of her hook! No, not that fish, she got something better! She was so happy! A 7 pound, 14 inches long Large Mouth Bass! She even wanted to take it off the hook. Look out Babe Winklemen! Here comes Miranda! I would have loved to go camping with them, but I just can't picture my body getting up in the morning from sleeping on an air mattress!

Eye Sore!

My Girls/July 15, 2009

I had both girls last week, on July 15, they wore me out faster than they can wear themselves out, most likely they came with rechargeable batteries, once they hit the outside they recharge for hours! We made bracelets! Played outside, spilled bubbles, gave the frog a bubble bath,( not a real one, they took one of their toys from the sand box), after I washed away the bubbles. And all this time their rechargeable batteries were recharging, And recharging! still recharging! and we went for a walk to Baskin Robbins, right around the corner, from the house. For 88 cents, the cones were big, I didn't get one for I knew they would not finish theirs, or some of it would be on the floor, or on them, we had all 3! The girls enjoy the ice cream cones, till they saw, the Ice Cream Cakes! They wanted one of those cakes. It took time, but I told them I will make an ice cream cake for my birthday. By the end of the day, Isabella was running on empty! Her battery would not recharge!

Miranda's School Pictures

I think, not just because she is my grand daughter, that she could be in years to come "America's Next Top Model" but it wouldn't be right for our family to have two, but we will take it, that is just the grandmother in me talking. All grandmothers know their grandkids are the best! Always a smile on her face, when Andrea was her age, she would not even look at the photographer without crying in the picture, over the years, and it wasn't till she was in 2nd grade, we got pictures with out tears in her eyes. Now I have to wait to get a picture of Isabella, hope they have a nice one to send me, she isn't in day care yet, so I will post a picture of her soon.

Busy Weekend with Friends

We had a very busy weekend, first we had a friend in from Huston, Dave, some one we don't see very often, maybe once a year, so we try to get all of us together, we had a BBQ at Judi and Dan's. Vince, Pati, Cathy, her friend Sean, Joe and I. A few of us were missing, he doesn't give much notice as to when he comes to town. Dave, Dan and Judi Dan and Judi Pati, Sean and Kathy We had a good time, good friends and good food. Joe, Me, Vince and Pati

A Long Lost Friend....Found

Over the years I have been searching for a very dear friend on the internet, we had lost touch with each after I had moved, I would look for a day, and forget about it again, this has been going on for years, till one day last year, I found a death notice, about her husband, what a way to find a friend, I printed out the notice, forgot about it, and came across it again a year later. I sent a card and put in my phone number and a picture of my family. It was about 3 weeks, and I didn't hear anything, thinking it was the wrong person. Joe and I were out for day, and she called, she left a message. That night she called again, we talked for hours, made plans to meet. It was funny because as many times as I thought of her, she said I would pop up in one of her dreams, and the week before she got the card, I was in her dream again. Well, this past Sunday we met! We had a wonderful visit! Her sister, Lorraine, was there and we talked about old times and the fun that we had. We are making plans to get together again soon. Sylvia, Me and Lorraine.

4th of July

We did some work around the house, got the fence ready to get painted, very easy job with the water pressure gun! Joe tackled that in the rain, while I was getting some snacks ready to bring to a friends in the evening. Now all we need to do it get this painted, before we tackle the garage. Which needs painting in the worse way. Andrea and Miranda, spent the weekend with David, Amanda and Isabella. I sure missed her being around, but it was good that she spend time with her cousin. We planted a Tomato plant in a topsy turby, this year, we have one tomato so far! That is better then the one we planted in a big planter. It seems that it is taking forever to turn red, but of course we had more rain than sun so far. STITCHING I am working on a model stitch right now, after that I want to work a little more on my sampler. Maybe even start a few Ornaments for Christmas.
