Beach

Just back from the beach again. It will be the last trip of the year for us and it makes me sad! After being on vacation in May, June, July and August, it is hard to accept the fact that we are home until sometime in February.

It was a wonderful week! We spent several hours every day just playing in the ocean because to sit on the beach was just so hot. It was wonderful! On top of that 2 of our adult children came with us and it was great to spend part of the week with them. Life is good!

I spent all last weekend working on a book for my daughter's 30th birthday. Her birthday is actually not until next May but a Groupon getting ready to expire made me get this done way early (which is a very rare thing for me!). Anyway, it was a wonderful trip down memory lane and I admit to shedding just a few tears as the wonderful memories came flooding back to me. What a sweetie and what a beautiful woman she has turned out to be. Love you baby girl with my whole heart!

Spring

Blizzard 2011

It is so sad to look outside and see my beach chairs literally covered in snow. After a night of howling wings, sleet and sideway snow we emerged today to a nice snow globe type of snow. We are in the process of digging out but the good news is that I got a snow day from work...not being paid but that is OK.

Oh, and did I mention, my youngest decided yesterday to drive back to school to Chicago right before the snow hit. My hair just keeps getting grayer because of her!

@X!# Kids

I have nothing left to say! Love them to death but I mean...really? Teaching life's lessons to your youngest is sure a hard and difficult thing to do. Sigh.....

Just a reminder...

Right now the snow is falling, it is freezing cold outside with the winds picking up. All extracurricular activities at schools are being cancelled. My geechee heart needs a reminder of the beach...so here it is....Enjoy!

Old pictures and New technology.

This is a picture that I managed to have from Christmas 1966. Everyone seems to be looking at something else but I seem to be looking right at whoever has the camera. Even back then I could never follow directions! There are only six of us there with two more sibling yet to be born. I am the one holding my little sister Elaine. I don't remember the picture, my nightgown or who even took the picture. I don't even really remember my parents having a camera but of course they must have. I look at the young girl and can not seem to get into my mind that it is me. What a wonderful old picture and thank goodness for new technology that we can save it.
