Fun at my house

Long time no blog..Once again!! Seems like I am getting REALLY good at this!! My life is so full anymore. I thought the older you get the slower you get..Well that is not the case here.


I go every day doing something. Yesterday morning I was up and running over to my daughter's home once again to take care of the kids. I took them to school like I do about twice a week. Only this time Garrett had a breakfast for parents. Since mommy had to work...guess I am next best for now anyway!! The kids had a project. They had to first pick a state, then do a newspaper...headlines, job articles, sports article and all the columns like a realy newspaper. Garrett choose Illinois. The article that you see below is his job offering. I told him that I would like to have this job and I would work ONLY one day since the pay was so entirely GREAT!! He did really well on his newspaper. They had the make up the articles with the help of the computer for research too. Glad that I got to go...

Our good friends Charlie and Kathy are here from Virginia. They are missionaires at the ETS (Equipping the Saints). When they come here to Savannah to visit their supporters they stay with us. I feel so thankful to have them here! We have had a great time as we always do!!
Kathy and I still need to go see a movie!! HOpefully that will be soon. Yesterday we went and visited the new Live Oak Library here in Savannah. This picture above is on the steps coming down from the 2nd floor. Garrett just cannot be good even in a picture!! He had to do his Saturday Night Live position...I guess!! It is a beautiful library!! Gorgeous!!

In this picture you see Kathy and Charlie looking at a big animal book that Garrett was really enjoying. He loves animals of all kinds. Last week when I was at his home, he started screaming outside. Maddie and I ran outside. Garrett had a big long black snake pointed out to us. I wondered what to do. He ran in the house and got his gun, a knife and whatever he thought he could use. Finally the poor frightened snake ran into the bushes. We have to get used to those things here in Georgia.


Here is Madison in front of one of the trees in our new library!! She is growing up so fast. Soon she is going to be taller than her old grandmother!!





Charlie bought Garrett a young inventor's kit. You can make all kinds of things with magnets, wires and etc. Last night Mike helped Garrett make this fan thing where you make the fan go around with a battery and wires. I am not much into stuff like this but Garrett loved it and anything that Mike helps him with...well that is just GREAT!! He loves his grandpa!! Isn't that wonderful?
Family is the most important thing to me in this life. I am on my way back to Illinois for a week on the 4th of May!! My mother is getting her right knee scoped!! Dad says that he cannot take care of her. He is having a lot of troubles remembering things. He is 91!! I hate it knowing that he is experiencing this. He only wants me there to help so I am going!!
My life seems to be filled lately with so many people wanting me....I have heard about the sandwich generation and I guess I am in that one now!! Just another phase in my life I reckon!!
Hope my blogger friends are doing well in their own worlds right now! Mine is just plain B---U-----S---Y!!!


This is my world....FLIP FLOP FLOOZIE!!
Thought for today: "May you be overwhelmed with the grace of God rather than the cares of life."

Your new library looks SO MUCH like our new library - at least on the inside! We have one of those trees - similar - not exact - with names of supporters engraved on the leaves. And our staircase is spiral -- but SAME colors! That is so weird...

I'm so glad you guys are having a good visit with K & C! I SO wish I was there! *stomps foot!* NO FAIR! :)

Maddie and Garrett are BOTH growing like weeds! Goodness me!

Whew! I was exhausted after reading that, Sandy. You sure are one busy grandma and daughter.

I agree with you, family is the most important thing in life. I wouldn't be without my lot for anything. One of my daughters is coming over this afternoon, in fact. I saw her yesterday, but that's okay...I'll see her again today!

Take care...
