No, It hasn't been two weeks, YET


It hasn't been two weeks since my last posting...so I'm doing this posting a little early. I just want everyone to know that I am on my way to make some chocolate chip cookies. Are you saying, "Gee, she hasn't posted in so long because she has been busy making chocolate chip cookies?" The next time you see my mid-section, you won't have to wonder anymore!

I love my pictures of Marin's Birthday






There are so many parts to Marin's personality. Her birthday gave us a chance to watch her in action.

A story about my mom

The other night mom was doing her crossword puzzles and I asked her how she got started doing them. Here's her story. She was working at a soda shop. As she walked to work each day she passed a book store with a window display showing the books available...of course. She noticed a crossword puzzle book and just kind of wondered about it for awhile. At one point the book was open for the public to see what was inside. She studied it and thought to herself..."That is something I could do..." It still took awhile, but eventually she actually went into the store and bought her first crossword puzzle book. She still enjoys working those crossword puzzles even though it takes great effort because it is hard for a lefty to write with the right hand.

Okay, so I tried to do two pictures and only one of them showed up...here's the other one.


Sooo, I "posted" it before I added the picture...it's just me, being me. Here's the pictures of Grandma and 2 of her gr.gerandkids.


It's always precious to have a picture with the Great Grandma. This one happens to be a good one of the newest gr.grandkid and the gr. grandma.

Grandma Betty and two of her great-grandkids...


Everybody loves Grandma Betty!

A Sunday afternoon at the Jones'


Bailey is an expert at entertaining herself and others! Her Grandma Linda found this 'cat/witch' tutu for Bailey. Bailey twirls and dances even with a gardenia in her mouth. She doesn't even need anyone watching her...but who wouldn't want to? There are sooo many Bailey stories.
