creative grandma


My Manly Man's mother has lived in our basement for six years now. We joke that we let her out when she's finished her latest project. It's really been nice having her in our home.Our children spent little time with her when they were growing up , since we always lived away, so its been sweet for them. She's totally independent and will be leaving again the end of January for her yearly trip to see her sisters. She drives down through California and over to Arizona. We all hope we'll be the same at that age!

These itty bitty dolls are one of her latest projects, her great-granddaughters are crazy over them.She's slowly making them all one!





In August our daughter Sarah asked grandma to make her a crocheted bedspread. A daunting task for even grandma. It's the biggest project she's ever done. Here it is Christmas Day and she finished it! Amazing! She took her task very seriously (she said she just wanted to get it over with) finishing a quota everyday, not even taking time to check her e-mail.

So, how will our daughter of six girls decide who to will it too? Her answer is , " who ever makes the best life choices."  Hopefully she'll have more than one and have to come up with something else!



This is a "I'm so happy it's done" smile. And not only did this lady finish this incredible project she just hit her weight loss goal of fifty pounds! Someone asked her how she did it and she said , "simple, I just quit eating so much".




Here's my sweet daughter and santa granddaughter who we were blessed to spend Christmas day with.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
