2008-12-03T10:24:00.000-06:00

That didn't work. Oh well keep trying I always say.

Oh I love Christmas!!!!

2008-12-03T10:15:00.001-06:00

Thought I would see if I could actually get this link into the blog. I think it works.

This is a special little addition also.

2008-11-28T18:44:00.002-06:00

Meet the new member of our family, Her name is Skye and the daughter of our Granddaughters, boyfriend, He just found her about a year ago. Didn't even know she existed or the state of her life, which I hear was terrible for a tiny little girl. Her mother was trapped in bad situation and turned to drugs and lost her kids.
They are trying to adopt her and have full custody. She is the smartest little thing. 3 years old and a bubbly personality that is sweet and sooooo cute. She sure stole my heart. And I might add Granpa Randey and Granny Sissy.

We got a new addition for our vacation

Mr. and Mrs.Taron and Megen Howell

2008-10-15T14:29:00.004-05:00

I have decided to put the wedding pictures I took at My Granddaughter's wedding. It was very beautiful and the ceremony was impressive. They were married on the beach in Destin. You will see the design of everything. But after the kiss they took a little heart shaped bottles and filled it with the white sand. Nice memory! After that they went down to the water and with the rest of people, we all threw pebble into the Gulf of Mexico. They had given each of us one earlier. WE thought maybe we were going to throw them at the couple, Might have been fun at that!!! Then the photo session.

After that we went to her parents house at Holt,fl for the reception. Ken and Sherri had fixed their yard up so great. It was really cool. Lights all around the Yard (about a 1/4 acre) and set up a gazebo with the music instruments. There were picnic table all around and very neat pit fire. We did all the usual things. We had a great meal fixed by the wonderful family. Threw the bouqet and garter. Cut the cake and did the Toast. Then they had the bridal dance. And the money dance. I think we wore them out by the time that was done. After that us old people came home and I heard that had a wonderful time dancing and singing into the night.

Now some pictures of the event. Oh, Megen's brother,Joseph, stood up for her and Tarons sister, stood up for him. Very cute.

Just some updating

2008-08-22T17:37:00.007-05:00

Kara Adams, Nick and Jodies new one.

Gma Kathy
Brooklyn and Ariana

This is the newest one. She is Brooklyn. I think I spelled that right. Her Mom,Kelly is Andy and Kathy Hayes' daughter. She also has Arianna. A two year old whirlwind. I really don't know what Kelly will do is Brook is as rambunktious as her big sister. Old great grandma sure can't start to keep up with these two. Then Randey and Sissy have a new Granddaughter. Born in Japan. They are deployed over there. Her name is Kara. She has a big sister Mattey. She is about 6. And another livewire.

I think it is so great to see these new little lives. Somehow they make you feel good all over. Helps to keep you from feeling alone. And makes you smile alot too.

Us ladies at Tammy's for tea and worship

2008-02-14T20:42:00.003-06:00

This is a picture of some of us that were at Tammy's a couple months ago. Let me tell you , Tammy and Karen really dished up a great feed. It is really great to meet with these precious friends. And we really enjoy having Kelly bring her guitar and sing for us too. She even lets us sing with her. Anyway I try to sing.lol We are involved in Bible study to become better women for the the Lord.

We are doing good here at home. Sure wish it would warm up though. Well I know all you up there in those North country places think it is already warm here. And I really understand that , and just to make you feel better ;>} I have jasmine in bloom and boy does it smell good. maybe I'll post a picture of it for you to see. Love you all and All my prayers always.

It's another year

2008-01-26T12:31:00.000-06:00

I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE FOR THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER YEAR. I KEEP HEARING ABOUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE ON THE NEWS THAT WERE BIG STARS 30 OR 40 YEARS AGO. I THINK WOW, THEY MUST BE REALLY OLD NOW AND COME TO FIND OUT THEY ARE USUALLY YOUNGER THAN I AM!!!!!!!!!! WELL IN YEARS ANYWAY. MUST BE ALL THAT HIGH LIVING THAT MAKES THEM LOOK SO OLD.;>

IF IT EVER GETS WARM AROUND HERE AGAIN, WE WILL BE OUT BUILDING OUR BENCHES AGAIN. I ALSO WANT TO GET MY ROSE GARDEN FINISHED. THE NEW BUSHES ARE ALREADY STARTING TO GET NEW LEAVES. TRYING TO THINK OF SOME PRETTY GROUND COVER FLOWERS TO PUT IN NEXT. PLUS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY ROSES. MORE LATER , MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALWAYS. ALL OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS ALWAYS

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

2007-12-24T12:31:00.000-06:00

Grandson Chad, they sure grow up in a hurry.

Wally on the trail to Medicine Wheel!! Me at the Medicine Wheel it has been here for over ,well I don't know. They believe the Anasasi indians put it there. The "people" still come every year to pray and meditate.

Hi! Well another year is over. I have been very blessed this year. My family has all been pretty much healthy and in good spirits most of the time. Wallys and my health have been good all flu and colds aside. They are just a part of our lives anymore, like taxes.lolal

We have a wide group of good friends and an absolutely great and wonderful church family. Our money is still reaching to each payday!!

We went on a great vacation this year to family reunion at Powell,Wyo. And to visit home town relatives in Montana. Dispite the wildfires, we really had a great time.

Wally and I walked our legs off exploring and looking at everything we could all the way up there and back. Lots of sightseeing on our route, we planned it that way, the temperature could have been a little less HOT but who cares when you are having fun.

I have the great joy of having a husband who likes all the things I like to do. He never complains about walking up hill at 9000 feet to look at an Indian Wheel. And I had to hang on to him on the way down. These darn arthritic knees kind of object sometimes. He even loves to shop in junk stores, as we call them, and the discount places. An old ghost town is our favorite place to really enjoy, especially if no one lives there or even close. Hard to find anymore. If you know of one we haven't seen let us know. There is still another year to check it out. Oh, also any rockhounding places would be perfect too. Imagine a couple of rock hounds living in Florida, we are hungry for some good ole hounding places.

Well gotta get ready to go to Ken and Sherri's for Christmas Eve Party. Great fun, we have a game we play called the Santa Swap, kind of like white elephant , if you ever played that. It is great fun and we all end up with a present usually just what we want. \;>) Love you all and God Bless you Always.

It is the Season, Jesus is the Reason

2007-11-26T20:00:00.000-06:00

This first picture is of my two precious little great grandkids in Alaska. James Lee and Lauren Karpstein. Their Mommy is my Granddaughter Sarah, Connie's girl. Guess I better mention their Grandpa Jim and Daddy. Without them we wouldn't have these two cuties. I sure wish I could visit them or judging from the background, they could visit me cause I'm not into snow. All who know me know what I think of it.
But then there is a beautiful snowflake . I love them. I have been entertaining myself by making all I want to on this web sight that lets you cut and save them to you computer. Can you believe I made this? You have to try it out. I found it on better homes and gardens web sight. Also there is one on Lowes.
More later All my Love and Prayers

Well time for another update

2007-11-05T20:30:00.000-06:00

Wanted to show you a picture we took in Montana. Pretty place isn't it. In a month or so it will all be white and around 20 below. Yipe!! LOVE Florida!!

We have been just hanging around. I have started my Christmas list for presents. Wally was hoping to get some wood working done, but hurt his back and has been convalesing, that word looks pretty wierd, but just read them like they look, maybe you will get it. Course I could use spell check. Back to the patient. Have you ladies ever had your darling home sick?? Well, I probably don't have to say more.

He does seem to be getting around better now. I have been getting out more, went to the Ladies coffee/tea the other day. It is very impressing to see all the young women and their children. I am many years past that time. They are all Christian women and are so good at the way they are raising their families. It gives me hope in the younger generation. You get to watching all that junk on TV and forget that those are not the norm. I am always renewed in spirit when I go to these meetings. We learned to crochet one meeting and are making neck scarves and caps for the poor. It does get cold down here for the next four or five months.

I loved the races and all the atmosphere. It was a great day, although tiring. We left at midnight and got back at midnight. Gotta say though, that old bus is definitly on its last leg. We sat in the very back cause it was close to the potty. (another blessing of old age) I cannot begin to tell you exactly how it must have looked and thank God noone else could see it. But I must tell you that it is not a good thing to try to anticipate what the driver will do. We had stopped at a light so I rushed in and got down before we took off again. Then when rising I waited for the next stop and stood up to pull up and the bus took off again. Needless to say I landed overbackward in a very small space. Then I got tickled and couldn't get my pants up. Finally after a couple more stops and hanging on with one hand and pulling with the other, I got there. When I came out I looked around to see if anyone had heard all the noise I made in there, but they didn't seem to have heard anything, or they were being polite and not saying anything. Another poor victim started in there and I warned him to hang on at all cost!! When I heard several bangs and a few choice words, I knew he had got the point. lol Then Andy was sitting on this wild seat. Every time he moved it slide off. He had to get up and pound it some, but it didn't help much. He ask me why we would pay to be tortured all day and night like this. We decided it was part of the fun in the doing.?? I guess I'll close this now, cause I am watching the Steelers beating up on those blackbirds from Baltimore. Go Steelers!!! Yea and Hawks too, Randey!!

Something to write about

2007-09-30T19:21:00.000-05:00

Well not much happens around here to write about, but I am really excited this week. I am going to the Nascar race in Talladega Superspeedway in Al. Andy and Kathy and I are taking a bus tour up on the 7th. Now that will be a lot of fun. I have never been to the race, but watch on TV . My car is the Cheerios 43 car driven by Bobby Labonte. Just watched him get wiped out today. Well, it kind of conflicts with my football, which of course, is the first thing you watch,Right!! Ya Steelers. Sorry Sissy. And Randey I still go Seahawks first. Anyway I figure that since the bus leaves at midnight and the race is a't 1pm, I will need all that noise to keep me awake. Will send pics. If I'm awake enough to get any.

Don't you just love the fall colors. People keep sending me pics of all the colors that God paints with the reds and oranges and yellows. Wow! it is breathtaking. Maybe I'll find some to send you too.

Rambling probably

2007-09-09T20:08:00.000-05:00

Hello, I decided I really needed to express myself somehow. I have not been doing anything for a while, but am well now. I never thought I would be glad I could do dishes and clean house, but after 4 days doing nothing and having headaches all the time I really am enjoying it. Did I say I was enjoying it! That might be a little strong.
Of course I am doing a lot of sitting, football you know. And I have at least 4 months of this excuse. I am really excited, my team won their 1st game!! Go Steelers
It is time to start my projects for Christmas. Such fun. I love trying to figure out just what all my munchkins might like. Last year we decided everyone would make the presents they gave. There were a few who couldn't do that, but their presents were just as loved. We decided that we would make flower pot holders for each family. And that there should be two for each. It took six months, but after much trial and error and #^%#%$# we got them done in time. Final count was 14. I don't expect to be that ambitious this year.
Well, I am going to have to start yelling at the TV my team is losing, watching NYG and Dal.
all our Prayers and Love to everyone who reads the blog, and those who don't. ,

Still here but pretty slow

2007-09-01T15:07:00.000-05:00

Hello out there, we have been really slow since we got home. First Wally was under the weather and now I am. Have you ever been gone for a month and come home tired and weary from too much vacation? Well if you have you know what a trial it is to get back to housework (which is not something I like anyway) and then there is putting away everything you brought home. YOu know all that stuff you couldn't leave town without.

It is really good to be back though. We are both getting into getting ready for FOOTBALL! Love those games. I get a lot of sewing done. Like crocheting and whatever. The family is playing football pic'em this year. Don't know yet what the winner will get. So far we have six signed up. Hope to have more. Love those Steelers. more later, am watching Notre Dame and Georgia Tech right now. Rah Rah.

Home and really enjoying it!!

2007-08-24T21:49:00.000-05:00

Chad and me! Grandson Yep, me and my Mom My Sweetheart and me and
Buffalo Bill Cody
This is here because there is Coca Cola written on the side. Check out the longhorns on front.
He was advertising Rodeo in Cody.

It is really great to be home. We had a real grrreeaat time with everyone. Saw some very beautiful country. And guess what??? Some of you already know that I lost my cell phone up on top of that 10,000 ft. mountain. And I wasn't hiking back for it. Well, I got a call today from one of the Great Rangers up there. She was at the Medicine Wheel and we visited for a while. A very wonderful young woman. She had found my phone, must have charged it up and called my home phone # that was in it. She said she would mail it to me. Now that is the kind of person we all appreciate working for the park systems.

I went to out bimonthly ladys of the church tea this morning and I was able to get my groove back. I missed them all a lot. We have real good talks and studies. It is always a wonder to me how these young people are running their lives, they are in tune with The Lord and move thru the days with confidence and love for everyone. And they are fun to be around!! I guess you can tell these are some of my favorite people.

I guess this is all I have to say for now.

Home at last

2007-08-22T11:30:00.000-05:00

These were taken on trip through the mountains from
Tensleep, Wyo. to the I25 at Buffalo,Wyo. How about that old barn. This country is the old west. You know, with Buffalo Bill Cody and all those picturesque people.

About 8500 ft. above sea level.

Hi, Well we got home on Sunday about 9:30. Had a great trip. We have been slowly getting rested up. Sure glad we don't have to work, or couldn't make it cause takes longer to get back in the flow of things at our ages.

The visit in Texas was just great. We went junkin everyday with Randey and Sissy. They had searched out some great places. It took 2 days to shop all the stores in Granbury ,Tx. Wore those men out. Course they like the shopping as much as we do.

Had wonderful time visiting with all the family and really hated leaving them . My arthritis really likes this humidity and heat. Not dry hot! Will post a few more pictures for you. The drive from Powell,wyo to the interstate was very pretty, the way we went.

Just to show you it's me in Kansas
Catholic cathedral in little tiny town. They had one earlier was so big it was advertised on highway as biggest one in kansas. Look like one in New York.

The fence posts are rock one piece they were used around all fields and along the highway, at least about 50 miles or more. Wonder where that Hercules is that carted them around is. The other one is a point of interest. Looks like maybe a tower to watch for fire. Really old, but some people were on the catwalk way up there.

These are pictures in Kansas and Colo. Yea leaving Kansas!!!!!!!!!!! More pictures tonight. Got a go. Love you all and All Our Prayers.

day 2 and 3 maybe

2007-07-24T06:54:00.000-05:00

Check out the blue pole sticking up in the middle of the interstate. never seen this before.

Kansas skyscrapers!!! Really just grain elevators they store alot of it up here i guess. going to send sthis so I don't lose it. More better in next.

Day two started out with a great revelry!!! Wally sat on the car keys. The car began to honk and the lights to flash. This at 6 in the morn. I said that was dumb, he said maybe its our car. I didn't know ours would do that. Well it didn't stop so I peeked out there and sure enough it was ours. I quick shut it off but it was too late. When I went out a couple of ladies were just coming out of the room right in front of the car. I started to apollagise and they said they thought their alarm clock started it cause they went off together. We all had a good laugh and got out of there before the rest of the motel came out. The day was uneventful and we stayed at Blackwell , Ok. the next night. And the Good Lord gave us revelry that morn. It was raining and the lightening was a flashing. And hit the transformer in front of the motel. Fourth of July!!! We ate breakfast in the dark although they had a generator so it wasnt too bad. Hope I can get some pictures in this time have tried this 3 times and lost my link every time. Of course you will remember this is a tour of the rest areas along the way. Did find some interesting things though.

vacation day 1 and 1/2 (feels like)

2007-07-21T19:54:00.000-05:00

Hi out there. Well here goes. I am so proud of myself figuring out how to do wireless in a motel. I forgot to ask my experts (Ken,Sherri or Andy.) the lady said she didn't know all she knew was to give me the user and password. Didn't know where I was supposed to put them. But trial and error and the Good Lords help I jumped right on.

Here is what the old van looked like before loading. So Much space to fill .No problem. We got to Mobile, Al for breakfast. Then headed north to Memphis. To make a right and are now in Heth, Ark. A good 11 hours and 45 min. All went just great and no problems. Took pictures along the way at our stops. A little over 600 miles or so. Almost missed this one. Our trip is fits and starts between rest area . Glad when we find some scenery to film. Oh , well more later after I rest up. Love ya all . Weary travelers here. Weather Great!!!

For all concerned or not!!!

2007-07-18T23:37:00.000-05:00

Flowers to Make you Smile!!

Well if You managed to understand my attempt to tell you how to get here. And you wanted to get here of course. I just wanted to tell you I love you for looking and hopefully more info will be added that will be of a lot more interest than all this wandering. We will be leaving on Sat morn. and IF all goes well will post another blog Sat. eve. Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise.

Love and Prayers to you all , from the mixed up lady .

only 6 more days till blast off. How am I ever going to get all my STUFF in this poor ole van? Maybe I should try to reduce it a little, oh, what a hard choice to make. I could leave anything that I can buy when I get to Helena. Ah, hmmm, new clothes perhaps. or shoes maybe. Now that sounds good. I'll have to think this over.
