Me again

Oh my gosh. This world is a mess. As my little Eli would say "what a bunch of mess." :)

My nephew Sam just got home from Marine boot camp. He didn't like it, but he graduated and we are all so proud of him. Let's hope he stays safe. Let's hope they all stay safe.

I am sooooo tired of all the political jibber jabber. If it took Bush and others, but mainly Bush, to turn our country upside down, don't you think Obama could get more than a year to try and turn it around? It's all such bullshit. I can barely watch the news any more. Sigh.

There's a new pic of Joey the reading machine. That boy seemed to learn to read overnight and he reads so well. I love that all the kids love to read.

Great-granddaughter Layla is so precious and such a joy. There's nothing like watching a baby develop unless it's kissing their precious little cheeks. :) And Regina is a good mommy.

Rhiannon is growing up. She's such a wise soul. Grandchildren are a very very precious commodity. I adore all of mine. :)

And that is all.

uh oh

Can't seem to post some new pics. Stay tuned.

Oh my

I have seriously defaulted in the blogging business.

Summer has come and gone. Fall has come and gone. Winter can go any time. :)

I have retired from the City of Kalamazoo and am working part-time for attorneys for now. My fondest dream at the moment is full retirement.

I have a new great granddaughter. She's a beauty. Her pic is posted. New pics of my other darlings are posted as well.

I have fallen in love anew with classic movies and have watched a lot of them lately.

All done for now.

Another Sunday...

I'm so sad the weekend is almost over. I don't feel like working any more. Not at all. Sigh.

It was a good weekend. Started painting the ceiling in my computer room. This will take a few more days. Ceilings are hard and my body is old. I was sooooo sore this morning.

My mommy cleaned my front windows - they are beautifully clean! I took the curtains down - it was making it too dark in here. Too bad I didn't think about that earlier this summer. But for now - LIGHT!

Went to a card party at Mom's today. It was a fun arts and crafts afternoon.

It was so hot this weekend too. No time for swimming though.

And that is all.

Absolutely unbelievable

This article almost brought me to tears. It's a travesty that people in this country live like this. This man is a Vietnam vet. What the hell?

Fun afternoon

Julie and Julia was a great movie. Meryl Streep was fantastic as Julia Child. I loved it.

We then went to dinner and I had mozzarella and tomato, crab cake and salmon. Deeeelish. I so love salmon.

HURRAY!

We finally had a beautiful rain this morning complete with thunder. We needed it so badly. Everyone's grass was brown. It feels so clean and refreshing. :)))

Today, off to see "Julie and Julia" with Mom and Lola. I've been waiting for this movie to get here. I hope it is as good as I think it will be.

For now, cleaning up a bit and getting dressed.

That is all.
