Grandchildren Visit

This weekend the grands all visited. We loved have Peter back with the girls. We missed not getting to see him for over a month. He had the highest grades in his elementary school last year. For being so great - Poppy Joe and I gave him 2 video games that he picked out. Here's a vid of them swimming on Saturday.

The Grand Girls Visit

All of the Grandgirls came to see us last weekend. They went to the splash park near our house. Poppy Joe and I took our hats and when we got home - the hats were the splash!

McWane Center Pictures

McWane Center

This weekend on Saturday, we took the grandchildren to the McWane Center. I think Alex summed up the trip the best when we said we have to go. She said"I don't want to leave."

Mom's Paintings

Miss Bennie's Art Wing

Mom's painting on either side of the door is the same as her shirt. She did 2 painting of her shirt.

Joe and I just got back from visiting Mom. She is living in what I am calling the Miss Bennie's Art Wing of the Gardens of Wetumpka. Mom is the only person living on that side of the assisted living. They now have 7 people in her building. When I asked when she was getting someone to live on her side, she quickly informed me that she hoped the didn't . She would have to give up her art room and the 2 extra closets that she has now. So heaven help the administrative staff when they move someone on her "wing."

Mom's Wing has all her paintings hanging in the hall way to the dining area. She was gracious and let me take pictures of her and her work.

My New Hobby - Knitting

This black one is a special Request from Catie


This one I did for myself.

Here's a example of the one that I have done. I did 4 and gave them to friends. I have really enjoyed knitting. I guess I am truly an old woman.LOL

Happy Birthday Shawn

His eyes were very blue from the very start. Now 38 years later those eyes are still blue like the sky. Happy Birthday Shawn! We had a little party with Catie, Peter, Julia and Alex. Here are a few pictures.

Pictures from Gatlinburg

Gatlinburg - Been there done that this year!

The trip to Gatlinburg is over and we are all sad. This year was very nice and relaxing for all. Unfortunately, Joe got sick on the way up and by Saturday, I had come down with a sinus infection. Hopefully everyone else is healthy and well. I am posting a few pictures from the trip that we took with Joe and Martha Anne to Cades Cove. It was chilly but lots of fun looking for deer and other animals. Well there is always next year.
