Check out this awesome site, you can sign up to receive an inspiring thought for each day. Funny how many times they "hit" me just right. My oldest daughter turned me on to this site, she also receives them each day in her email. Hope you will enjoy them too.

Babies Babies oh I love babies

Seems to be baby time around the neighborhood, and it's keeping me busy. I still have 2 more to gifts to make I just found out about.
First up was a gift for the grandson of my girlfriend since Jr. High This is her fourth grandchild. I made 2 oneies, burp cloth and a nite-nite.

a little something for the big brother to open

Then on to another gift for the 7th grandchild of a dear friend.
This gift includes a couple of oneies, with matching headbands, a nite-nite and a burp cloth.
For the big sister a monogramed pillowcase and a little headband to open.

My beautiful Peach Tree

I planted this tree smack dab in the front right by my front door. The idea was so I could enjoy the pretty deeply pink blossoms each year. Along with the beauty comes delicious and juicy peaches, so far so good/











Then comes the birds, not so good. First they have a few bites…….

Then the peach falls, I can hear them thud on the ground. Then come along the rabbits, squirrels and who knows what else to enjoy a free meal. d

This is what I get

And we love her!!!

Opps

I see I still have a lot to learn, I have posted my pictures and titles backwards….that's what happens when you are away too long.

Along with the excitement of having a teenage granddaughter, our family had an exciting event in May. Our youngest and only son, propose to his girlfriend. So I get to be another mother in law in about a year. He wanted both families to share in the event, so we surprised her and joined them for brunch after the proposal. Here we all are on the beach.

The rites of becoming a teenager-pierced ears

Then the big moment….

Lunch, then dessert, candle/wish time

The years slip by…….

It's now some time later, been quite awhile since I posted. I received a new Imac for Christmas and this blog got left on the pc. Hopefully I can bring it along to the new hang out.
Don't even know where to begin to bring this site up to date…so much as happened. I'll just take it one step at a time…..

It's July and we have not had sunny warm days since May..believe it or not. Summer is my most favorite time of the year, in fact it's the only reason to get out of bed as far as I'm concerned.
We have celebrated many occasions , the latest being my oldest granddaughter becoming a teenager.
