Fun Day Today.

2010-10-10T16:50:00.000-07:00

Hi once again.
Today was lots of fun..with my Daughter and Great-Granddaughter.
We went to early Church this morning.

Later, we did go to the Fall Festival at the farm market.
I have never seen so many people picking apples, and selecting pumpkins.
There were all kinds of fun things for the kids to do and they had delicious foods.
The Orangelicious ice cream was to die for!
We stayed there for a couple of hours (do you believe I didn't buy anything but that ice cream?)
I could have eaten at least a 1/4 lb.of fudge, but resisted-tough thing for me to do since I love fudge!

We then took my Great-Grandaughter home.
By that time, this lady was very tired so I stopped at Ruby Tuesday and picked up ribs for dinner.
I had instructed hubby in advance to put potatoes in the oven to bake.
He was in seventh Heaven, watching the Redskins win their game against the Packers.

Not much news to tell.

Now, I will log off, soak in a hot bath, read and off to bed.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
God bless!

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

ANOTHER DAY, MORE CRAZY EXCITEMENT!

Hey there, again.
I told u I'd be on time this time! :)
Today, I spent a lot of time with our Great-Granddaughter.
She is visiting my daughter, her "Lolly" for the weekend.
Lolly had to leave for awhile so she stayed with me for several hours.
We took a walk with Papa when she got here..than we played a bit inside, and after awhile got bored.
We went to the mall, where I bought her a pair of spiffy boots, and some spiffy socks.
She had some money so picked out a real cute white tam.
She plans to wear all these new things to school on Monday.
The photos are from her dance recital-I like the Michael Jackson pose!

It's actually quite warm today.
I have the AC running.
Gizmo is here right now and really appreciates that.
She can't take the heat.

Hubby is watching games as usual.
We are hoping USC wins their game..right now,USC is way ahead! Imagine!
(THEY WON, THEY WON! TARYN'S TEAM WON!)

VA Tech is whipping the daylights out of Michigan!

After my big, busy morning with my cute Great-Granddaughter, I'm resting now and will go to Pizza Hut later and bring back dinner!
That is what a good Mama Bear does! :)

Y'all have a wonderful weekend, and most likely, I will see you tomorrow right here.
Thanks to my followers..I NEED MORE!

The usual hugs.
Take care.
If Monday is a holiday for you, enjoy!

Hi friends.
It has been a long time since I posted.
We were on vacation, then when we got home, I started working on Halloween pages.Vacation was kinda the pits.
We stayed in my daughter's beautiful condo on the bay, but between large crowds, weather in the nineties and then rain every day, we couldn't do much.
Much, that is, besides eat..and so we ate..and ate..and ate! :)
Needless to say, we both gained weight.

We were under a cloud, it seemed..
First, we got a parking ticket for an expired meter and parking in a motorcycle space (never heard of those)..I protested so got the expired meter taken off..it was only a minute!
Then, we went to a grocery store, were walking into the store and decided to check out a Redbox outside the entrance.
A gust of wind hit the cart, it rolled down the inclined sidewalk, and smack into a man's new black SUV!
Well, talk about luck (bad, that is).
The cart put a couple of dents in this beautiful vehicle.

The driver was quite upset so we decided to pay him on the spot for what he said he thought the damage would be.
The store manager offered to have us fill in a form to see if the store would pay but since the driver was getting very annoyed by time being taken up, we just paid him.
I have written the Corporate Office to see if we can be reimbursed..wish me luck!

It's time now to remove all my annuals and cut back on the shrubs.
I'll try to get our lawn man to do this since hubby cannot do these things yet.
To begin with, he has absolutely NO patience with anything.
I guess I can't blame him..it's been a harrowing few months for him.

We both celebrate birthdays this month, along with our youngest daughter, so Laurie, our sweet middle daughter, is having dinner for us on the 17th.
She's a great cook..looking forward to it.

On the 18th, hubby will have a large skin cancer cut out..second one that will have to be done by a specialist..taken off in layers.
We will be in the Doctor's office all day as they test each layer as they remove it.

Since it is a 2 hour drive from here, we plan to stay up there overnight at a hotel.
Neither of us will drive in the dark and believe me, at 5 AM, IT IS DARK!

Things are fine with all the Grandkids.
We will see Jamie at our dinner..it's anyone's guess whether Kacey will come..she is usually involved in a game of some kind.

Last but not least, the weather has been beautiful.
Autumn is my favorite season..and although last winter was awful with so much deep snow, I am looking forward to our first snowfall.

Thanks so much to you who are following me..
I hope I can keep you interested and I promise this time I will be posting regularly

Love and hugs to you and yours.

Life is what happens while you are making other plans.

Sunday-relaxing day.

Hello and happy Sunday!
This is my daughter Laurie's little shih-tzu-Gizmo.
We keep her a lot and she is in our back yard here, by the daylilies.
I'm afraid our grass was not green like this during this summer.This was last summer.
It was more like straw-we are going through a real drought!

Laurie and I went to Church together this morning-very inspiring sermon.
The minister brought one of the Church groups up on stage.
Included in that group was a young lady and her husband that our minister, Mike, wanted to pray for.
She will have serious surgery next week for breast cancer.
To show their support, every member of her group (I would say about 15 or so), had polished their toenails pink!
This included the males also..quite touching!

Laurie and I went to a Craft Fair in the park here in town for an hour or so.
The sun was burning hot so we didn't stay long.
I bought a jar of home made apple butter-as you may know, Winchester is the apple capital of the country.
After our visit to the Craft show, we had lunch with hubby (Laurie's Dad), a rare thing so very enjoyable for all of us.

Our annual festival is called the Apple Blossom Festival-very large parade and many events during the weekend.
We always have a couple of celebrities and usually a celebrity or a celebrity's daughter as our Grand Marshal of the parade.
We've had Susan Lucci, her daughter, Mary Tyler Moore, Sean Aston to name just a few.
There are always a couple of famous sports figures also.
Back in the forties, Winchester hosted Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Roy Rogers, and many well known celebrities.

Roy rode Trigger, his beloved horse, in the parade.

This town is also the home of Patsy Cline, noted country music singer, who died in a plane crash in Camden, Tennessee on March 5, 1963-age 30.

Her house is now a museum-her Mother lived there till her death a few years ago.
Patsy worked as a waitress in a drug store with a soda fountain and her booth is still in the store-although it now sells medical supplies.

You would love these mountains.
They are so beautiful and in the fall, the trees are spectacular.
People from all over come to the Skyline Drive to view the scenery.
It's my favorite time of the year.
I normally love winter also but last year, we were bombarded with more snow than we could handle!

One snow brought us 3 feet of the white stuff during just one snowfall and people were digging out for days.

That is TOO MUCH snow but I do love a normal snowfall.
There is something so serene about seeing a beautiful snowfall and the quietness it seems to bring.

I hope your weekend is special and I will see you right here tomorrow-Monday, Sept.20th.
I would love it if you would become a follower.
See the right side of page.

God bless you and yours.

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2010

This will be me sharing my life with you, my family and friends.
I have five Granddaughters, one Great-Granddaughter, and one Grandson.
My three beautiful daughters keep my life interesting, sometimes frustrating, but always worthwhile.
They have always been my reason for living and since they have given me all these wonderful Grandchildren and a Great-Grandchild, all the more reason.

My days lately have consisted of lots of care-giving for my husband.
He's had several surgeries in the past few months, including open heart surgery.
Yesterday, he had a small growth cut from the top of his head.
The biopsy report will be back soon, but we don't expect problems.
That one was one of many.

When I broke my leg a few years ago, he was there for me.
He served my meals on a TV tray (although he isn't a cook, he managed to cook the meals), helped me walk, and just waited on me "hand and foot".
I guess the wedding vows of "in sickness and in health" do apply.

We keep my daughter's little dog almost every day.
She's a real pleasure, no trouble and loves us as much as we love her.
She's 12 years old and deaf, but seems to manage everything any other dog would do.
She loves to eat and could eat as long as you give her food! :)
More tomorrow.
I hope you will visit often..feel free to comment.

Your aspirations are your possibilities.
