Just another day…

 

Goose family

I need an address label.

Here it is.

…five minutes later…

Dammit!

What’s the matter?

I got the box ready and had that label and now I can’t find it!  I hate it when I lose something!  I just had it.  It’s gotta be here somewhere.  I only went from here to there.

Here’s another label, honey.

Raise your hand if you can relate to losing stuff!

It’s just another day at the senior center, y’all!

Cheesy grin

Mornin’, Tow Mater.  Thanks for the reminder that today is time for my teeth cleaning.  Smile!IMG_0691

Two grandmas and no photos.  Yep, Joy and I got to play with Eva last night while her parents went out to dinner and neither of us got the first photo.  Shame on us! 

Eva is adorable, and one mighty happy 1 year old.  She sang, laughed, and played sooo well.  Joy and I could both eat her up with a spoon!

I went from one extreme to the other yesterday—first the local senior center to call bingo for the guests there, then getting to play with Eva last night.

This was a very poignant reminder of the cycle of life--seniors still like to play and have as much fun as they can.  Heck yeah!

Have yourselves a ginger peachy cheesy grin kind of day!  I will…after my pearlies are clean!

Misty Monday morning

Let Missy out.

Let Missy in.




KC went out the kitty door...and is staying out. I don't know why Missy wanted valet service. Oh, she's a kitty. Never mind.

So yesterday was piano recital time for these two:



They did well...and are now officially through with school and lessons. Yay for them! Their moms are still at school this week.

MM is fixing an engine...can you say GREASE?

Have yourselves a ginger peachy greaseless Monday, y'all!

Mayberry fun

Dominoes last night...double twelves!



Candyland this morning:



We woke up to rain this morning, so the kids and I are enjoying Jammie time. No one wanted to go with Grumps in the pontoon boat to round up and push logs away, even though the rain stopped. Books and games and extra Cheerios and being lazy is hitting the spot.

Who wants to be lazy and join us? Come on, but bring your own Jammies, peaches.

Oldies, but goodies

Haley found these old photos of us girls and posted it on FB, so I stole them.  These were made on our patio in Florida way back in the early ‘80s.  Note the mother/daughter snail outfits—that were cute way back then!Sandy, Haley, Amy on stairs

Not so cute now, at our age.  All three of us girls were wearing pink last Sunday for Mother’s Day.  Sheesh.  We forgot to call and make sure we weren’t in the same colors, you know, for the photos that didn’t happen.

And this was us just before Christmas:

Haley, Sandy, Amy 12.12

Notice that I am now the short one.  My little girls are all grown up, and are now teachers…and mommies.

Time flies.  Trust me on that.  Sweet memories.

I am blessed.

Awards Day

I can say with certainty that the bleacher seats are NOT comfortable, but seeing Macey and lil Haley get awards was great!



Haley is giving a thank you to the principal...naturally, the balloons moved when I snapped:



And Missy brought us her own gift yesterday that KC had to inspect:



Excitement. The good times just keep rolling in Mayberry!

Creek fun

Yesterday was a perfect day for Amy and friend Jane to take the boys out to Vogel for playing on the playground, riding bikes, and doing all kinds of boy stuff.IMG_0882

I picked up Macey after school and took her out there for a little cousins and friends fun:

All the kids put many miles on their bikes…successfully…no trips to the local hospital.  Macey and some of the guys practiced a little balancing skills, with no spills into the rocky creek below:

I’ll bet they all slept well last night.  Grumps was out working on a machine while I was enjoying the kiddos.  I can certainly vouch for him being tired and sleeping well!

It was just another day in paradise.  I wouldn’t trade this for any place else on earth.

Life is a one-time offer.  Use it well, y’all, and have yourselves a ginger peachy Wednesday!  I have a lunch date with a cute 4 year old today, lucky me.
