Grandma's got a Blog

I told ELLE I had a blog and she went and got the laptop to check it out. Notice the wings necklace she is wearing ......I thought they were Harley Davidson wingy things. She said no..they are angel wings. Now I am clear on that. Hope she checks my blog once in a while when she has the chance to get on the computer. She is my first real grand kid. She is special. She is my favorite oldest granddaughter and always will be. Love ya Ms. ELLE

Car With A Lid

We did not know when we purchased this car with the sun roof that it would become a novelty with the grand kids. You should know this is a "CAR LID" not a sun roof!!

H, D, and M really had a blast riding home from Grandparents Day at the School with the lid open.

Three grand kids barely fit in the open lid. Glad there is not a big police force in the small town where the kids live.

M had to have a little bit of help from the driver....Poppy Joe to get up a little higher. I am not sure who had more fun the Grandparents or the girls!!! Oh, and by the way, not only were the girls waving but we were singing our song.."I've Got Cats That Live At My Gramma's House." Some people we drove past just looked, others waved back. I bet the ones that waved back have cats living at their house!!!

Mum

I heard the rain really coming down in the wee hours of the morning and I know my mum garden will benefit from it. In the fall of 2006 I started getting mums and planting them in an area in front of the house. This mum we planted two weeks ago will stay in the barrel and when the frost starts really flying, before the ground freezes, Joe will plant it in the mum garden. Last I counted we have around 25 that have survived the winters and I look for most of them to bloom here in a few weeks or so. I love the colors of fall and hope the dry spell we went through will not effect the the leaves turning. I have always heard if the leaves did not turn the colors of fall it was because the weather had been to dry and the leaves just dry and fall off.

Grandsons

As we were riding in the car following the boys home from football practice I could not help but think how time goes by so fast. Wasn't it just yesterday they were learning to walk and talk?? Before I know it they will be driving themselves home from practice in their own vehicles. Z first driving them both and then B will have his license too.

Pillow cases

A group of hard working ladies from The Stitch In Time Quilt Guild made 87 pillow cases to donate to a local women's shelter. I missed the day but it sounds like they had a blast doing the work together. Our president will deliver them tomorrow....I hope they put a smile on a sad face when a person receives one.
