Living the good life in Jamaica....(my sister), see below for more pictures...............
Where were you when you heard the tragic news? I was at work at my desk and got a call from my boss's mother who saw the first plane hit on t.v. As we were talking, people were scattering to our conference room to watch the news, then the second plane hit. I was the only employee sitting, working at my desk, while others were watching what unfolded next. It was like I was frozen in my chair. I can remember praying and hearing the reaction's of everyone watching on t.v. I wanted to leave and go home and be with my loved ones and hug them and tell them that I love them. Remembering today and praying for our Country....
My sister Diane & I at a family reunion at Virginia Beach, I think in 1982? Are we "Babes" or what? This is my goal size! I think I can, I think I can..............
Today is Labor Day. I have made No plans. It sort of feels nice to just do whatever my hearts desire. I have always wanted a hummingbird feeder. This is my sister's feeder in Louisiana that she loves to watch. When my sister was going thru chemotherapy several years ago, this is what got her thru a lot of the bad days, was watching the hummingbirds. Thank God she is cancer free today. Well, I went out and got me a hummingbird feeder and put outside of my kitchen window. I am anxious to see my first little bird...I have my camera ready, waiting. You know, it's the simple things in life that make happy......This is my little feeder...hopefully it will attract some little friends.
A Glorious summer's evening at Lake Michigan .....The sky was a picture to behold....
The boys spent part of the day at Mimi and Grampa's on Saturday. We made a home-made sandbox for the large bucket of Florida sand I brought back from my vacation to Sandestin Beach last month. I spread out a blanket on the front porch, since the grass was wet from all our rain and let the boys have at it. Gray was facinated by the feel of the sand and he had a ball scooping and digging for the sea shells I hid in the sand. Noah had more fun helping make the sandbox. Carter got bored right away and decided to just ride in the big red car.
These are my little Cubby Bear Grand-son's....Carter, Gray & Noah...I love this picture, taken last year. I can't believe Carter started Kindergarten, Noah 1st grade and Gray will be "2" in October.
Grand-daughter Abby on the beach last Saturday... 5 months old...Isn't she the cutest little bathing beauty?
These are my "4" Grandchildren in action...Carter, Abby, Noah and Grayson. My daughter has the three energetic boys and my son has the sweet girl....These 4 little miracles bring me more joy than I can explain. Gray recently learned to say "Mee Mee" and it is so cute......Every time he see's a blue mini-van, he says Mee Mee, and Steph, my daughter says, when she passes a building at the end of her street, he says Mee Mee....something at that spot reminds him of me..who knows what? Another thing that Gray does which melts my heart is, when he comes to church, he runs as fast as his little legs can go to get to me on the stage, where I sing back-up. He moves his little arm up and down while running like he is pumping so hard to get to me. I have always been close to the boys and hope I have that closeness with Abby as well. My son loves to share with me all the new things she is doing and changes, such as teeth and giggling. He even called me while I was on vacation last week to let me hear her first giggle. I could go on and on about my favorite subject. Can you tell that I am a very happy MiMi?
I am back from a Glorious Vacation with my sister, Diane. We had the best time and didn't waste one minute. We were up by 5:30 drinking coffee on our balcony overlooking the ocean and taking in every second. I celebrated my 51st Birthday and 33rd wedding anniversary this past week. By the way, thank you to everyone who sent me Birthday wishes. I was amazed and overwhelmed to read them all. There is too much to tell about my trip, but I will be posting lots of pictures so you can see for yourself how much fun we had.
