Cannot believe it’s been months since I last posted anything
on my blog. Where has the time
gone?
Well for starters we have been extremely busy with family.
Then there are our jobs, and daily life experiences (cooking, cleaning,
laundry, and yard work). If you are
lucky enough to have friends, and a religious affiliation then you are a very
blessed person. My husband and I are blessed with all.
Since the last time I wrote, I’ve now completed my Gray Hair
Project. My entire colored hair has been
removed, and now I’m just trying to fine a new style that is suited to my life,
and the new color. In allowing my gray
to show, I’ve discovered and embraced the curly hair I’ve been at war with
since I was a child. Amazingly it takes no time anymore for me to style my
hair. I allow Mother Nature to dry and except for a few tosses of my hair with
my hands, that’s it. All is good.
Make-Up now that’s another story. I’ve discovered that when your hair color
changes so drastically, so too must your make-up, and clothing colors. I’m still trying to fine the right eye colors
and makeup style. Mercy, mercy, me, it’s
going to be along road on this one. Most
of my basic colors that I love still work, the blues, crisp whites, and
blacks. But I’ve tried some bright new
colors lately, lime green (still unsure of this choice), bright orange. By the
time I figure out the summer colors, fall will be here, and I’ll have more
issues with colors. I just need to clean
out my closet and start over.
All of our grandkids are doing well. All three of our granddaughters are shining
lately. Tori our California girl or I should say Victoria as she now likes to
be called in public is turning into a beautiful young women and a great
athletic her Volleyball team took 1st place several months ago. She
will also be having a birthday in a few days, August 20th hard to believe she
will be 13. Here is a photo of Victoria
on the right with the team trophy.
Then we have our local beauty Ashlyn who went to cheer camp
in Nashville, and her teams won several awards for her first year out we are so
proud of her. Then of course we must
mention Lilly for not having a melt down this year for back to school clothes shopping.
I’ll just say last year if you were anywhere near Calhoun GA’s Outlets you
would have heard the meltdown. Lilly has
grown so much over this past year. Still
doesn’t understand why she can’t do everything her big sister does, nor
understands that she’s not always invited to the same functions has her big
sister, but she’s getting there. Here is a photo of Ashlyn team, she is in the
back holding two ribbons, one of her with one of her teammates, and the finally
one of her and Lilly (you could tell Ashlyn had had enough of all the photos by
this one, she wanted her mother to stop).
Well that’s all about out grandkids this time around, next
time I’m on the blog our grandsons will have something for me to write about I'm sure.
Between the youngest at almost 9 months, and the oldest being 16 these boys
keep us smiling all the time too.
In June Larry and I went to Atlanta to see a concert that he
had been wanting to see for a while. Roger Waters that was in Pink Floyd doing “The Wall”
at Philips Arena. We had wonderful seats, and were able to go with my bestfriend
Mary and her boyfriend Richard. Just a great evening. The very next day
was June 14th, which was Flag Day, but it was also my dear fathers
80th birthday. We were able
to take that Thursday off and spend time with him and my mother. Here is a photo of Dad with his cake.
Two weeks later we kept a friends chocolate lab for a week,
lets just say that was a hoot. Here is
our buddy Lucky, she is still a puppy who weights 85 pounds of pure
muscle. Needless to say, Larry was the
only one able to keep her inline; she would just look at me then go on doing whatever
she wanted. We took her to the cabin in the mountains that week, she played catch with her tennis balls, swimming in the creek, sleeping in Larry's lap, and watching tv. What a ruff life!
Well folks that’s about our life in a nutshell these past
few months, with the exception of visiting my folks weekly, and Larry every
couple of weeks, that’s our life.
Hope to write again soon. Maybe will have more photos. Blogs are so much better with photos, don’t
you think?
