The CREATIVE JUICES were overflowing

The FOOD was delicious and plentiful.

The SOCIALIZING was wonderful.

SLEEPING was just disregarded.

cousins have all grown up.

NOT A TEST!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

It was only yesterday, that I

looked out in my front yard

and saw that my Tulips were

growing like mad.

In fact I had one little Tulip plant

that was totally in bloom.

I really love the Spring when

everything seems to come

to life

.

And then!

I woke up this morning to a

whole different scene.

.

That's Colorado.

If you don't like the

weather.

Just wait a minute.

.

AND IT ONLY TOOK 3 MONTHS!

Last Christmas, Scott and Cortney

gave us a beautiful plaque to

hang on our wall.

.

At the same time Tom and Jodi

gave us a beautiful frame to

show off all our wonderful

Grandkids.

.

We decided that they

should be

displayed together. - SO

We started looking for pictures

.

.

Jodi came down and helped to

arrange the pictures in

the frame.

.

.
Then the task - Where and how to hang them?

We left that up to Dad.

.

.

I think it turned out GREAT

" THANKS "

you guys

MY DECLARATION TO THE WORLD

.

I am about to abandon my SISTERS.

I am breaking ranks, I am abdicating my post.

I am deserting the ship, I am forsaking my past.

I am apostatizing from the FEMALE world.

I am about to declare to all who will listen:

.

"I HATE SHOPPING"

.

I know ladies, .... I sound like a traitor,

But, for three months I have been trying

to buy just a simple little dress.

Nothing fancy, just a nice little church dress.

.

Oh, I found a couple - mixed in with

all the PANT SUITS.

.

Some only came in a size 6.

Some had $150.00 price tags.

Most showed everything I had,

( or wished I had)

including my UNDERWEAR.

.

I guess I will just keep wearing skirts and tops.

But don't be surprise if I show up at church

wearing my

MU MU

TRYING TO KEEP UP

Quen and I have decided that we are

Technically challenged

and there is a very lot that we don't

know about running our computers.

We understand what they are suppose to do

but, don't always understand the

Mechanics of getting them to do it.

so

Sweet Jodi came over and spent the day

giving us some great tips about running

a new PROGRAM and working

with PHOTOS

****

She even helped me to customize my

BLOG.

by displaying all of your blogs .

What do you think of it?

It's great to have so many willing

"Pros."

in our family.
