Halloween

Well, here in Florence we are celebrating Halloween tonight, the 30th. In the past few hours, we've only had 3 trick-or-treaters. So I'll have leftover Tootsie Rolls for me.LOL!
Went to Matt & Krystle's last night to give them a big bowl of Taco Soup for supper at 9:00pm and ended up staying til 1:15am. We couldn't get Alexis to stay asleep-fed her, changed her, walked with her, held her. She would go to sleep and the minute you laid her in the crib-it was wide awake time.
Hopefully she has slept today so Krystle can get some sleep.

Back Again

Well I've been busy. First I hurt my back somehow and the dr. prescribed therapy 3x a week for 6 weeks.
2 weeks later we left for vacation in Arkansas. Went to Hot Springs, stayed at the Wharf condos (a gift from stepmom-her timeshare). After a week there, went to Fordyce for 2 days to see family. I took the digital camera Daddy left me and definitely am learning with it. Took over 150 pictures.
Now we are back and I'm back in therapy but the back is definitely doing better.still have 3 weeks of therapy to go before I go back to see dr.

Lots has Happened

Well lots has happened since my last post in August. Krystle had her baby-Alexis Rose-born on Sept 9, weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz and 20-1/2 inches long. So now I'm a grandmother!We got to babysit while Matt & Krystle went out for Krystle's 21st birthday. The baby is beautiful ! Blue eyes and dark hair (that we figure will change color over time)

Find-a-Grave volunteer

I've been doing a bit of my genealogy lately and came upon this website, Find-a-Grave. It has lots of volunteers who will take a request for a grave photo and post it for the person. Well I thought since I've gotten so much help from volunteers out of state that I could spare a bit of my time to do the same for someone else.

I Luv Really Reasonable Ribbon!

Almost Baby !

We almost had a baby Sunday. Krystle was having contractions for several hours Sunday til LD nurse figured out she was dehydrated. They filled her up with fluids and contractions stopped. Ir was a good thing cause she is only 36 weeks. She was told to go home and rest and no work on Monday. She went back to the dr Monday just to make sure everything was okay. We didn't hear from them so I'm assuminng it went well.

Vacation time

Talked to Judy yesterday and she confirmed our week at her timeshare. This year its at The Wharf in Hot Springs, AR.We leave here October 9th and return on the 16th.The Wharf looks great, its 5 star, sits on the shore of Lake Hamilton and is surrounded by the Oachita Mountains. So looking forward to vacation time away from the heat and all the drama.
Hope to get Matt and Krystle to watch the house-feed the cats, get the mail- for the week we'll be gone.
