Moving?

My heart hurts tonight! Matt and Krystle are talking about moving from Alabama to Indiana. We would rarely get to see them and we would miss alot of the baby growing up.I want them to do what is right for them but I really don't want to see them leave.

Christmas!

It's time for the VA Christmas party again. This year its at the VFW in Birmingham. We have lots planned-tons of food-fried turkeys, hams,side dishes and ,of course, lots of desserts. Then we have a band hired and we will also have karaoke for those who can sing-not me!
After we get back from the party, Matt,Krystle and the baby are going to Indiana in our Jeep. We will have Matt's car to go, if we need to go somewhere. They will be gone for 4 daysand are due back next Wednesday.
We've got lots of coupons for portraits so I'm going to get Alexis's picture made for her 3 months old. And I'm hoping for a Santa picture too.
And its only 21 days til the big day and I haven't even started shopping yet. I do know what I'm getting everyone so maybe it won't be too bad.

Thanksgiving

Well it was a little bit different this year. First, Daddy wasn't here (he died in February on my birthday).Second, Krystle and Matt decided to have it at their house. So I was left with making some dessert and some side dishes. We had way too much food there and ended up making plates for tomorrow, as we are too stuffed tonight for any more.Both Matt and Krystle have to work Black Friday and I donn't do the crazy shopping so I will be keeping the baby, Alexis, til they get home.

Scrapbooking Again

I'm trying to get back into scrapping mode as Alexis is here and I need to get her book started before I fall too far behind. I've just signed up for a free class by Jessica Sprague called Inspiration Everywhere. A group of us on Scrap From Your Stash Cybercroppers are planning on taking the class together. You can feel free to join us at Jessica Sprague beginning on November 29 for the first class.

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)
