Our new baby!!

Our new baby...Lily!!

Boy how I wish I could get back into blogging. Just so many things going on day by day here that it seems to take the last back seat!! Plus you know my life is just pretty normal keeping busy day by day with the grand kids and now back to working some at Curves. Unless I can think of something that I need to get on a soapbox about well then the rest is all kind of not very interesting to my readers (of which I know are few now)

We do have a new little one here in our home. Don't ever go to PetSmart on Saturdays because that is when all of those that have animals that need to be adopted...COME!! I went and fell in love with a cutie. She is about a year old and is a Maine Coon cat!! Her name is Lily!! I figured that we could not adopt her but Mike went with Becky, Garrett and myself yesterday and well Lily came home with us. She is a very sweet cat. Our cat, Annie, that we have had for some time is not at all happy with this new set up!! She has been hissing and being very unfriendly to our new little Lily!! I just hope that with time she will give up and they can be BFF's!!

Mike is getting close to having his training over. I am sure he is going to be happy about that. We are trying to get used to this new schedule of his. I am so excited when he gets a day off. We try to spend it together as much as we can.

I am still watching Madison and Garrett when their mommy has to work. I go over in the morning and take them to school then go in the afternoon and pick them up. They stay either with me at our house or I take them to their home. Becky comes home anywhere from 9-10:00..then I get to go home. Roger is still in Illinois. He says he loves his job...now if they can just get together as a family again! Not much going on with either one of our homes..trying to see them that is!! I am thinking that Spring will bring a new turn for us!! I would love to see them sell first since they do need to be a complete family once again!! Roger is fortunate as he gets to come home about every month...but then that just makes everyone so sad when he leaves!!

We are having pretty weather with my favorite...the SUN today!! I am not a winter person for sure. I need that beautiful sun to make my day even happier!!

Our granddaughter, Madison had a project at school to do. She had to make a poster about WWII. Since my dad was in the BIG WAR she did her project around him. She did a great job and made it to District here but did not go further. She received third!! Dad made a cassette tape for her and we had a lot of pictures she used!!

Been reading a lot this winter. I read all of the Twilight series and just loved them...Now I am reading, "The lovely bones". It is an entirely different kind of novel but I am enjoying reading it. I would like to see the movie. There are several movies our right now that were books first. I so enjoy reading the book BEFORE I see the movie!!

Not much left in this normal world of mine. I am happy to say that I live normally (whatever that is)!! I know so many people that are having health and marriage problems. I am so fortunate that I am doing great in those areas. I have the best of husbands!! But I have told you that before!! I still do not know how I have been so blessed to have been married to him for these 46 years now!! He is the BESTEST!!!

Off to get some things done today. Like my mother says, "Even if it wrong!!" Hope all is great in your world!!

FLIP FLOP!!
