OK, JUST ONE MORE


Here is one of my very favorites of all time. The times that I am the happiest are when I am with my fabulous daughters and their families. I love my girls and I love being a grandma!!

I am supposed to be mowing my lawn.......




But this is so much more fun! I'm glad others are enjoying these photos, because I really enjoy posting them! Here's a classic of Lyssa & Hope, back in the day (how did they get old enough to have a day to go back to????)

Here is an oldie but goodie:

Guess who???

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the small things in life......now I can move on to finish cooking my dinner for one (if you don't count the dogs).




OK, I am trying to put multiple pics in one post without them all being crowded at the top like the lovely but confusing post where Barack Obama was adopted into our family. Tanisha can do it, Libbie can do it, so I want to do it.

Grrrrrr, it didn't work the way I wanted. But just for the record, we have last summer's photo of Bailey when she visited Grandma (practicing for her cameo in the next Harry Potter film) and then we have Lilly at a previous birthday bash...she is much older and more sophisticated now.




This is another blast from the past...the little girls and Auntie Wanna......except they are not the little girls anymore. Where does the time go?

Isn't this a darling picture? We all look so young there! Just think I thought I was fat when this picture was taken....hoo boy, I wish I was that fat now! Let's see who can guess all of the people. There will be a prize.

So, my first "teaching" episode is behind me, and there were no casualties... Actually, once I got into it, I felt pretty comfortable. Who wouldn't do well, with the support I had? Those women were wonderful and the topic of "Concern for the One" was a good one. We had 14 women today...God Bless those summer people!

I am back on the Diet Pepsi wagon. I am drinking grape juice with Crystal Geyser sparkling water even as I type (which could get messy). Next I will sample an invigorating mix of white cranberry and peach juice with the sparkling water... I refuse to go to the store today...feel rather proud of myself for remembering on Friday to put gas in the car so I would be able to make it to church w/o stopping to gas up, or pray fervently to make it into the church parking lot. And I was 9 minutes early for church this morning....a record since I was baptized.

Today has been a good day. Life is good. And I am still crazy, so no work tomorrow. Woohoo!!!!!!!!!

Aren't job interviews fun??


Actually, I have had two very interesting job interviews in the past two days. And so far, I have an offer to do some freelance reporting for the local weekly paper....I am excited about that...and I will find out about the other next week. Both prospective jobs would be a complete change of pace for me...and I think I am REALLY ready for that. It will be interesting to see what the next week has in store.
The above photo is Marissa & her favorite Uncle (Lee) in 1995, when Marissa was into her cowgirl groove. I know it has nothing to do with what I just wrote about, but I wanted to post this picture anyway. Plus, I have ADD, so I just go where my undisciplined mind takes me. So there.
