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 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.

Summer--the fastest so far
We had a busy summer, maybe that is why is feels so short. I have enjoyed this last little warm spell knowing it may be the last of the year. I love to open all the doors and enjoy the smell and feel the occasional breeze.
The grands have all returned to school, 2 into kindergarten, so no more babies---for a while it looks like. I have my fingers crossed as we have an unmarried son--so there's still hope.
Today is a lazy day, taking it very easy as we were baby sitting granddaughters numbers 2 and 5 while their parents took our oldest to Vegas for the Interbike Convention this week. All went really well, the girls were up and dressed in 5 minutes flat. Yesterday they both got to sew something, went with Grandpa to watch their cousins play soccer , quick dip in the pool and waited for their parents to get home.
I'm participating in two swaps and am trying to get motivated. One is a charm for the "Charmster's" called The 12 days of Christmas, I'm doing the 12 drummers, the other is a Boo Book for my art group called the " Orange County Art Makers" or OCAM. The theme is Halloween, we each make a page for each person participating. Don't ask me what I will do with the book, guess I'll display it during October each year. It sounded fun and is a challenge, plus I'm always awed at the art the ladies produce.
I hear the sound of football coming from the family room and know that fall has truly arrived, it will be non stop until-----who knows when, good thing I have my little space with the computer and sewing machines to keep me company, I love, love this room---good thing as I spend many an hour here.( I bet there are many, many family rooms blasting the same sounds) Ahh this funny addiction to this thing called "Football"...if I remember correctly that is the reason I decided to get pregnant so soon in my marriage. I remember thinking "how fun it would be to have a baby to play with while DH watched football all weekend." And she was fun to play with and so cute!
