Long time gone....

Well it has been quite awhile since I have written anything here. Slap me. Life gets in the way of things sometimes and you just have to go with the flow.

Got some great new pics of the grandson. He has been spending quite a bit of time at Grandma's and I just love it. Grandchildren are just so so different from your own. We want great things for our kids but you want ever so much more for your grand kids. They are the best of the best and we want them to have every opportunity to excel in whatever they strive to do.

Logan is only two and a bit but he has a well developed sense of what he wants. He also has strong opinions that he doesn't mind giving us at every opportunity. The new granddaughter will be born somewhere after November 15th and before December 15th. That was the best due date we could get. LOL. Her name is Madison Dawn and I am hoping that she will also have a head of red hair.

My baby girl (27) is also expecting and due in June. Too early to tell what she is going to present us with but I can hardly wait and will gladly accept either or. I just love this grandparent thing.

More later. For now I leave you with a quote:

Home Again

The above photo is my darling oldest daughter, Diesel the MinPin and Logan my ever so precious grandson.


I'm home again, damn. It was just so peaceful and nice and quite and people free. Home to the cats, dogs, fur, litter boxes, kids, etc, etc, etc.

New Grandson Pics. He is just the most precious little guy. I'm a truly dotting Grandma.

Logan on the lounge with Diesel and Pumpkin the cat looking on.

The very best part of my life is the time I spend with Logan. In December he is going to have to share his world with a new little sister. I'm hoping the transition is easy for both of them.

Today's quote is by Will Rogers.

Today

My precious grandson spent 15 minutes last week picking all the keys off of my laptop. I am typing on that laptop with half the keys still missing, correcting many errors as I go. I did order a new keyboard from Dell but it hasn't arrived yet. So if there are errors, oh well.

I started a new group on Yahoo for people who create, or want to create, zines (zeenes as in magazine). I''m hoping it will be an active group with lots of great artwork.

All those little furry things you see all over the key board are furry bits left behind by Murphy who has been helping me all day.

Last week my darling grandson learned all about the joys of playdough. He had a blast.


I leave you with a quote from a show I watched last week, or the week before. It is from Southland. I can't remember who said it. " The next time I decide I want to get married I'm just going to go out, find some girl I don't like, and buy her a house."

New bodies to Bead

Last week I got the new bodies from Monica Magness girlgonethreadwild. They are awesome as all of her work is. She kindly included 3 faces for me. I am always looking for dime sized polymer clay faces. If any of my readers make these, please contact me.

I picked the red one to start first. The materials are so wonderful that I am only going to use bead embroidery on most of them, leaving some of the fabric to show through.


My absolutely adorable grandson spent most of last week with us. He is growing so fast and I hate being away because you miss so much, even in just ten days. One of his favourite meals is spaghetti. Just had to take a picture of course. He went home on Friday and we really missed him over the weekend. It will be two weekends before he comes to stay again. I get to see him during the week though. Grandkids are wonderful!!!!


My wonderful son Serge was also down on Saturday with his significant other. I got to cook a big meal and clean up after the meal. LOL. Aren't Mom's wonderful too! Isn't he just the cutest guy in the world?? Of course I may be a touch prejudiced.


Anyhoohoo... I am off to do dishes and get ready to go and finally get my mop cut. I hate having hair that requires work. If I had a nice looking head I'd just go with a bean shave. Unfortunately I have an ugly head and can't do that so I'll go with the short shaggy look. Just wash, fluff and wear. My kinda hair.

I leave you today with a quote from Forrest Gump: My Mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.'"

No one reads me either

This is a photo of my most precious grandson Logan. he is quite a little ham and spends a great deal of time in front of this mirror in the dining-room. He was 14 months old in this photo.


As I was perusing blogs this very early morning I was quite taken by the number of bloggers who have a posting: No One Reads Me! Looking back on all my blogs and stats I realize no one reads me either. It's just me, myself and I. How do you promote a blog? Must google that later on today. Right now it is too early and I am too tired. So, to all those folks blogging away out there... No One Reads Me Either. Maybe we should get together and read each other.

During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has really been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much.
