Day Two Hundred Thirty One

Harbinger?


This little Maple leaf was floating in a birdbath in my yard yesterday afternoon. Looks like it has designs on Autumn already. I think it sailed in from a Maple tree that lives across the street. Her top most leaves can't seem to wait for Fall--my fave time of year, but hey, let's not rush it.

Portraits Of Two Buds


Look what God made! Cute little flower bud....

Look what else God made! Cute Bud(dy) Cat....
Okay, that's my attempt at humor for the day. Hope it made you smile just a little.

Day Two Hundred Twenty Nine

Happy 3rd Birthday, Elijah!

Today is Grandson Elijah's 3rd birthday! Here he is on the day he was born and this past Saturday at his birthday celebration. His Grandpa and I love him to pieces and are so blessed to have him in our lives. He's a terrific kid who always makes us smile when he's around.

And here he is today. His mom and dad took him fishing at Center Hill Lake this afternoon. He said he caught some goldfish. (I think they were blue gill) I was so happy to get to see him today, as he usually spends his Mondays with his other grandmother. And I was very grateful for the opportunity to take his picture on his birthday. We love you, Elijah Man, and hope all your birthday wishes come true, today and all your birthdays to come!

Day Two Hundred Twenty Eight

Wings For Supper?

Hubby Neil flies radio controlled airplanes and usually stashes them in what I call his airplane hangar after he's done, but for some reason, this one ended up in the kitchen this evening.

This is just one of several in his collection and I hope will soon find its way back outside and into his hangar, also known as his "man cave". I don't venture out there very often, which is why there are never any pictures of airplanes on here. I feel kind of bad about that. His planes are pretty cool. I'll show them to you sometime.

Day Two Hundred Twenty Seven

Elijah Celebrates His 3rd Birthday


Grand son Elijah celebrated his 3rd birthday this afternoon with a Scooby Doo themed party and his family and friends at his house.

The giant slide has become a birthday tradition. Here's Elijah man coming down fast!

He loved his new Spiderman bike from Granny and Grandpa and took it for a spin down the hallway.

Another birthday tradition is each kid taking a swing at the candy-filled pinata. Elijah enjoyed opening his gifts (tossing the clothing aside, of course), playing on the big slide til he was red in the face, and loving every minute of his day of days. I'm sure he'll sleep well tonight!
