I am learning how to retrieve photos again, so here goes. I figure if I post every day or two it will become a habit to post here.
Far from a great photo of me. Hair WAS brushed that day I promise
The rain was wonderful and even got to watch some snow flurries yesterday. Just to live the opposition of all things...the sun is shining brightly today and even though not WARM you can feel some warmth standing in the sunlight.
Sunday was very nice day. I love how it sections the week out!!!
3 grandkids for 2 night means 1 tired g-ma but a happy one. They were so much fun. Love the Wii but argue a bit with it.
Everyone give me their best idea of something to fondue. Doing a RS birthday party celebration on wednesday and want to bring something fun to dip....

Oh and BTW

I have to blog of my new found love of edamame!! Went to Kona grill with Angie and Laura for sushi.
Appetizer was the edamame beans in their pods with coarse salt on them. So good and so good for you. Then I found them in the frozen section at walmart for only a buck seventy eight a bag. Finally something I really like that doesn't break the bank. Guess it makes up for loving sushi that DOES break the bank.

ITS 2010

I am starting again with a simple post (its really all i know how to do)
Hello to my family....hello to friends...
Life is busy. I don't know where the days go.
We went to Tucson for a meeting Gary had and I spent my day at the gem and mineral show (one of the many they have).
You wouldn't think rocks were interesting but the gemstones that some of them turn into are fabulous.
I picked up a few strings of jasper, seed pearls, tigers eye, and other ones I will never remember their names. I have bought jewelry wire and clasps and hope this week to do up some fun pieces of jewelry. Wish me luck. I think I might need it. LOL

SUMMER

Good Morning All!
I had to write a few notes today.
This would have been my moms 85th birthday and on June 1st it would have been my dads 88th birthday. I miss them both but have come to realize how blessed I am they were the ones that raised me and that I will get to know again when my time on earth is through.
I have 2 pictures displayed in my house that are dear to me. One is their wedding picture and one is a year later when they lived in Rome, NY and my dad is in uniform.
This makes me feel as if they are right here beside me.
My computer keeps crashing and until I buy a new one I probably won't post many pictures. I am lucky most are on a scandisc and are saved.
I love you all. I (like all of you keep saying) am so grateful for this blogging stuff so I can always feel a part of you.....and hopefully you can feel my love thru the screen.

I am not even close to grasping how fast time flies!

Its been so long since I posted I don't even remember how to change fonts and colors anymore.
My computer took a mini crash about a month ago and once again my pics are not on it. I know I have to back up things. I have the pictures on a card somewhere though....so that is good.
Don't die of shock but guess who is Relief Society pres of our ward? Ha ha. Is one of the reasons I have less time but thats not an excuse to not keep up with you all.
Was so fun to open up all your blogs today and see what you are up to.
We did take a drive to New Orleans and visited Cameron and his family. He has done a great job turning a beat down crack house into a beautiful place for him and his family. We helped build a shed while there. Using some of Grandpa Berts tools and also put the grandfather clock that belonged to him and Grandma Marge into his living room.
Ate wonderful food. Hit Cafe Du Monde 3 times for beignets.
Love you all.

A Day of Love

I hope we treat our loved ones good every day. That is a true Valentines gift.

On a lighter note. I hope no one gets sick on all that chocolate...LOL

Before and After.

Well trying again to post pictures. We actually got snow. So here is looking out to the side of my house with and without snow!
