Big Day

Yesterday was a really big day...Tanner did his performance as Charles Cornwallis. We also found out that our daughter-in-law is related to Nathan Hale. Hopefully pictures will be along soon. I was sure that I had recorded Tanner's performance with my phone...not!
Today we have Sam because there are teachers meetings today...then they have an extra day off on Monday.
Our oldest grandson...Paxton is continuing with wrestling ..so we will probably go this weekend to watch him...he is just starting to learn this sport.
Have a good weekend😘

Sam

Sam advanced rank in scouts last night...he is now a 2nd Class Boy Scout...yeah Sam

Here's Grandma with her special Grandboy!!!

Final Fitting

We just finished the final fitting and I am p,eased with the results....even more than that...Tanner is pleased....he doesn't care for the itchy wig!

I Love it!!!

Betty said, "The British Are Coming!" The costume is ready for final fitting tomorrow evening when Tanner comes over after school....Mike worked on the trifold hat while I finished sewing....this has been fun❤

Tanner's program

Now that I have finally figured how to post pictures from my iPad...this is a picture of Tanner's program last night....he is in the bright florescent green shirt...he really enjoyed playing the drums

Lisa and Reed

This is Jim's oldest daughter....Lisa. Her son Reed was the ring bearer...obviously the rings were on a starfish. I love this picture of the two of them!

Abby Reed

Hopefully you will see the pictures of Abby's wedding...if I have done this correctly

Making a costume

Enjoyed the warmer weekend, but stayed in most of the time. We had Tanner for a little while on Friday...he is the youngest of our three Grandboys . In two weeks he has to be in costume for his Social Studies class...he is to be General Cornwallis...soooo I am trying my best to make him a costume at a reasonable price...we went to some thrift stores and found boots and a red jacket...I have his wig ordered on line...hopefully there will be pictures to post. Tanner got to choose where we were going for dinner...McDonalds...not our favorite...bit the three of us had fun.

Sitting again

I'm sitting with my friend Judy...she is sleeping right now. Got her to eat a little something...but she sure was itchy from medication. I had her husband go get her some benadryle and it let her go to sleep. I made a hug pot of homemade chicken soup yesterday and I will wake her up after a bit and try to get her to eat a little. She is the Visitation Minister for our church and is always the "doer"... It is important to do for her now.

Sitting With a Friend

Spent the majority of day sitting in the waiting room while good friend had surgery. I think everyone scheduled their surgery today.
Watched our awesome President today on live feed on my iPad...it sure made the time going by more enjoyable.

Busy Wednesday

On Wednesdays I work at the Food Pantry sponsored by our church for two hours...probably the most rewarding thing I have been a part of in a long time...It is wonderful experience to get acquainted with the clients and see how for most of them things are getting better.
Then on the third Wednesday we serve a community free meal...which means Mike and I are down at church working from 1:30 until about 8. Our church has been in this little community area for 100 years and like any community it has gone through a lot of economic changes...we have now had this Community Meal for 4 months....it certainly is a heart warming experience...many in the neighborhood are really seeing our church as a warm and inviting haven...this has been a lot of hard work...but many of us believe that this is what we should be about...Thanks for listening to my preaching 😇

Abby

Jim's daughter Abby got married on Saturday down in Cabo...hopefully some pictures will be posted on FaceBook. Skip and LouAnn went to the wedding. That's all I know about that!
It has really been cold here...especially since it was in the sixties here on Friday....but, no SNOW...thank goodness. Again, I can post from my IPAD, but have not figured out sharing pictures taken with my phone ...easy to put on FaceBook...but I'm missing some step to share on the blog.

Very Proud

Last night our Grandson Paxton and 17 other teenagers were Confirmed at their church.  It was a beautiful evening to watch these young adults make their choices to become part of the Christian community of believers.  It is so meaningful that Paxton is following in the footsteps of his ancestors.  I know his Great and Great-Great Granparents were looking down from Heaven and rejoicing.  Sure wish I could accomplish showing you pictures I took on my phone...it's just one of those days that I can't hold my mouth right and get it to publish..-:)

Happy Birthday MOM...

December 27th is a day that has always been a day of remembrance and celebration.  I miss her each and every day and always remember to give thanks for her guidance and her strong faith ...she was a tremendous example of one classy lady and I am blessed to have had her for my mother.. Always remember that the 27th is not a day to take down decorations!!!!

An Awesome Day

How I ever got these published tonight...I will never know.  We had a wonderful family time together this morning....first brunch, then packages....such an awesome time.  I hope and pray you all have had a fantastic Christmas.  I also hope the family in Arkansas is not too snowed in...Love you all!

Heading out early!

My new phone is not working, so Cindy is coming at 9:00 to take me down to the Apple shop on the Plaza.  I'm glad she is taking me.....I'm feeling so e better with new meds from Dr. Saturday.  Mike is some better....but this has been a week of nasty stuff.  Glad I had all the main things complete.  the kids will all be over for Brunch in the morning and tonight Cindy is having us over for dinner....our church does not do an evening service for Christmas Eve any more....must tell you how old our congregation is any more...
MERRY CHRISTMAS to each of you!

Creeping Crud

Mike, Cindy, Kris and myself have this awful upper-respitory crud.  We are all on heavy antibiotics and trying to get well before Christmas.  I'm happy that our shopping is complete and all wrapped under the tree..It is suppose to snow tonight...so, since I  feel ever such a little bit better than Mike, I went to the store for some basics.  The kids and Cindy have a 1/2 day tomorrow...we'll see.  Thank you to Helen for her RAKS...random acts of kindness...I have really been sad since last Friday.

This is where my heart is tonight...

How do you wrap your heart around this horrific act ...for the love of God...they were making gingerbread houses and talking about  the Gingerbread Boy...something I did every year with my 1st Graders or my Kindergartners...my heart really aches-:(
