Here it is March 7th

and my last post was Dec.31st!!! I knew I have gotten behind but this is terrible!!!!!!!!
So much has happened this year,maybe that explains why-Mel was laid off from his job on Jan 6th after 17 years of over and beyond duty,and so far nothing on the job front either.
Then I am on my 3rd sinus infection already and this was the worst so far-am still trying to get enough energy to even do minor chores.
Onto good news!!!! Come August we will be welcoming 2 new grandbabies thanks to Lisa and Keith and Steff and Don. So Grandma here has gotten started crocheting baby afghans,and stocking up on fabric to make baby outfits,diapers,crib sheets,etc. In the meantime Jessica is telling everyone I am HER grandma ONLY!!!! I can see some thinking will be needed in the next few months.
We celebrated Dad's 80th with a Surprize Party at St. Angelo's Bowling Alley,and somehow we all did manage to keep it secret so he was really shocked.
The hidden gypsy blood has surfaced once again in our familie-Amy has moved from her mobile home to a really nice manufactured home close to Lake Erie-we have already had a birthday party there. They also have a nice hot tub on their back deck which I used one day and can't wait to do it again!!!!
Our other gypsy Steffany has moved into Amy's vacated mobile home so it will be a really nice home for the new baby.
One thing,at least the 2 girls still living in mobile homes are only a few doors apart so Grandma won't have to go far to babysit with all 3 grandkids(did I just say that?!)
Well,that is enough for now-need to go rest awhile here,have been online 4 hours!!!

Having some problems so will have to do more than one posting I guess

Here Jurgen is with me on Christmas

Jessica on Christmas More from the same

New Years' Eve 2008

Want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and hoping 2009 will be a very good year for all. I am looking forward to it as already have alot of special events coming up-Dad will turn 80,I will hit 60,Jessica will have a new sister or brother,Steffany is starting a new trucking job,etc. That means I have to do some changing here healthwise so I can enjoy all that is on the new clean slate for 2009. May even do some book reviews or at least suggest some since I will be in my 3rd year in the Harlequin Book Challenge and have become friends with many other readers and even some authors. Now I want to share some pix with you -the first is Mel and Jurgen on Christmas Day

Holiday Wishes

Want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas ,Happy Boxing Day,and a wonderfully Happy New Year! Hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone! Know mine will be as just got news I am going to be Grandma again come August,so that gives me another reason to look forward.

Really looks like Christmas here-Jessica is admiring one of her Care Bear ornaments with Smoky in background. Of course I had to get one of her kitties where they are enjoying their favorite new nap spot under their tree. This is Furby(the mom to Smoky,Cutie and Charmer),and Smoky preparing early for this year's visit from Santa Claus.

December Already?!!!

Had planned to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving but before I knew it, I have to change that to a very Merry Christmas!! Now am fighting a severe sinus infection and seem to be on losing side so am very limited in what I can accomplish which is frustrating me terribly. Anyway,want to post some more pix.

First is of course my little princess,Jessica in her Tinkerbell jammies which she got since she knows Gramma likes Tink. Will come back to post more soon.
