November 19 How To Stay YoungMy Ebay stuff did GREAT! Whoooo hooooo! BIG HUGS, and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with those you love and who love you. Steph
GOOD ADVICE!
We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are!
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
November 11 Thank you sir I'll have another...They say that God never gives you more than you can handle, or He loves you and gives you trials so you can grow... Then there's the 'ol, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
All I can say is.... God must really, REALLY love me!
That and I think instead of getting stronger, right now I'd prefer that it kill me!
BIG HUGS, Steph November 08 Talking about YouTube - What Cats Are Really Thinking I LOVE THESE! Quote YouTube - What Cats Are Really Thinking November 02 Getting old does have it's advantages! Awhile ago our Garmin GPS disappeared from my youngest son's car. (I tell him to lock it and he always forgets.) We looked all over the place and asked any one who might know.
I reported it to Garmin as stolen.
I then told all the neighbor kids and friends of my kids that Garmin now knew it was stolen and as soon as it was used they would track it and find out who had it.... OK, OK, so that's not really the truth, but, hey, I need that GPS!
Happy ending, it mysteriously reappeared on the car seat of my Maxima! So, moral of the story... some times it helps to be older and trickier!
BIG HUGS, Steph October 19 Thanks I just want to tell you all, Thank You, for the kind thoughts and support. We are taking things one day at a time here. I miss that lil guy so much. Last weekend we drove to Walla Walla to watch our daughter play softball. She's doing really well at college, and was the only freshman that the coach had play on the sophomore's team! It was a nice honor, but, and I may be just a bit prejudiced, but, I think it was well deserved! She was awesome and her team won their game.      Allie our Golden, says, HI! Then there are the last roses of the season. They are always huge and I'm going to miss their beauty. On a different note. We know some people who have a vineyard. This year they weren't happy with the quality of the grapes, so they didn't harvest them, but instead offered them to some of us who would come and pick them. I had a great time, except for the bugs! There were spiders, and earwigs, etc. The worst was the wasps. I have never in my life been stung by a hornet or wasp... until now. I was stung twice. My hand swelled to the size of a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloon... oh the FUN! I do however now have some really delicious grape juice canned for the winter months. I have white grapes growing in my backyard, that's the juice on the left, (then on the right). I'm not a huge fan of grape jelly, so I juice them. Twiglett says, Hi... well actually she was telling me to quit interrupting her nap!       What have you all been up to? I miss and love you all. I'm going to try and be better about being on here and visiting our blog family. BIG HUGS, Steph October 06 Now I understand how people can die from a broken heartMy grandson Gauge has been a daily part of my life and I have been a daily part of his life for over a year and a half now. Since my son and his mother broke up and she's been working he's been living with us, and she would see him about 3 or 4 hours a week.
The other day she came and picked him up, told me they were going to go visit his other grandfather. What she did instead was to sneak out of town and move back to california.
I didn't get to say goodbye to him, or give him hugs. He's going to think I've abandoned him. I love him so much and we have a special bond.
I now understand how people can die, or want to die from a broken heart.
I don't know where she is. She won't answer her phone. I can't remember when some one has hurt me so much. BIG HUGS, Steph
September 25 Breaking News.....BREAKING NEWS!! To save the economy in 2009, The Obama government will start Deporting all of the weird old people In order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. I started crying - when I thought of you.
RUN, YOU OLD FART, RUN!!!!!
Well....what can I say....someone sent it to me, And I'm not going alone!!!! HEHE, BIG HUGS, Steph September 05 You think I'd know better...Take one two year old (almost 3) boy, and put him in his Grandpa's truck. Close the door, go around to the other side to get him buckled into his car seat, only to find that he's not in the mood to get into his car seat so he's hurried over to the other side before you have and has locked the door... then runs to the first side and locks that door...
My arms are all scratched up from picking wild blackberries. I curse under my breath and ask why I am torturing myself to get these small little jewels?... then I taste the jam or make a pie and I get my answer.
August 10 Summer heat, Summer rain and "Are we having fun yet?" You know it's summer when the temps get above 100. I hate that! Luckily the past few days or so we've had storms which brought rain... beautiful, refreshing rain! I LOVE it!
Let's see what's been going on around here... I gave blood at a blood drive, and found out that I have "cute lil feet and toes."
lol I have to take my shoes off when giving blood (have to have a fan blowing on me too.) The young man helping me made the comment.
I spend as much time at the park with Dekeon and Gauge when I can. Gauge has to be watched closely... he likes to get "comfy" aka naked after a short while. I love those two, so much!
My oldest daughter has been working in a small town in Northern Idaho, and much to my shock I turned on the TV to see the news announcing a tornado and severe storm watch for that little town. Now, did she call me??? NOOOOOO! Did they take shelter like the news was telling them... Noooooo..... Was she worried??? Noooooo... Was I worried? HECK YEAH!
I've been trying to see as many movies as I can. So far, Transformers has been one of my favorites. I liked it even better than the first one! I was a little disappointed with the Harry Potter latest installment. It didn't seem like there was any info or story, but the visuals are good.
I'm excited to see if GI Joe is any good.
I enjoy this time of year. Not for the heat but because of the fruits and veggies that are fresh and abundant. I've been making jam. Apricot, Raspberry Huckleberry, Mixed Berry, Strawberry, Blackberry, and Peach. I like making jam better than canning the fruit.
Well that's my "Rock Star" life of right now. I hope you all are doing well. BIG HUGS, Steph July 12 Summer FunWhere do I start? It's been a very busy summer! Fun, but busy.
Every two years we try to take a family vacation together. My kids always chose to go to southern California (Disneyland, Knotts, etc).
I think one of the main reasons is that Bob (RUSerious) and his wife Becky are there, and they are more like family, than, well, family!
We've known "Uncle Bob and Aunt Becky" about 9 or 10 years now. Bob and I became best friends through a mutal love of Bonsai trees, food, and both his and Becky's fantastic sense of humor.
My girls will tell you that Becky is undoubtably the funniest person they know... and I agree!
We spent our first night with Bob and Becky. They have a beautiful home and always make us feel welcome and part of their family. We love them, we love their furry babies.
Our first day was spent at Seal Beach. We have a tradition (started by Bob and Becky) to eat at Walt's Wharf. Their food is fantastic, and they have a grilled artichoke with a dip that is to die for! I ordered a creme brulee for dessert, thinking everyone would be too full and I would get most of it.... WRONG! lol
We have a few favorite shops that we always hit while there, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach.
It was in the 70's with a light breeze blowing off the water. The girls wanted to work on suntans. I kicked my sandals off and went for a walk along the shore.
I can't think of many things I enjoy more. It was a gorgeous day. The water splashing my feet, the breeze so soft and cool. I wish I could afford a place on the beach.
That night, my husband took our oldest daughter and her friend to their very first professional baseball game. They saw the Angels play the Rockies.
My youngest and I spent the evening with Bob and Becky. (Which I prefer over a ball game any day!) We ordered Pizza from a little place not far from their home. They know "Big Bob" and always make THE best pizza!
The next day, Knotts Berry Farms (my kids favorite) and then that Friday was my oldest daughter's birthday, so we spent the day, and night at the Disney parks. (She got in free)
Our last day there we just spent goofing around, and looking forward to dinner.... Bob and Becky were cooking. Now, all it takes is knowing that, and we all start to salivate! Becky has a very high power, stressful job, and yet every time we are there she always goes all out for us! She is the best cook I know! Bob is no slouch either.
Dinner with Bob and Becky is talked about and fondly remembered as one of THE best parts of vacation. Right up there with the thrill rides my kids love.
I've posted pictures of the food from that night. We all had our favorites, and consumed every last crumb! Yep it's ALWAYS that good!
I can't tell you how much we love Bob and Becky... They have become family and in our hearts.
We had a great time and are already looking forward to the next visit!
My youngest daughter was going to try to sneak Baxter (their mini dachshund) into her suitcase, but, dang it, Becky said no deal! lol
Hope you are having a fun summer! BIG HUGS, Steph
