Grandbaby #9 on the way....

Tanner face timed me today while I was making dinner.  I should have known something was up because that boy never face times me. I see his whole little family sitting there and smiling at me.  We talk a minute about the fact that I'm making enchiladas and the kids see Pop and and tell him hello... Sammi tells me she loves me and then goodbye. lol  I thought that was it but then she says.  "I'm going to be a big sister again!"  I was so excited!  Then Danny says:  I'm going to be a big brother... (But in Danny talk).  

She knew since Monday and didn't say anything!  I can't wait until I have a big secret and I don't tell her for 5 days! 

Yep! That's a Chocolate high heel!

 One of my daycare parents brought this in for me today.  I literally don't want to eat it!  It's so pretty!  But I will make the sacrifice … after I take lots of pictures of it. 

 Well this years birthday was different.  WE didn't get the whole family together to have a joint celebration.  It wasn't as much fun, but we will do a make up this summer when the pool is open and we will for the first time celebrate our birthdays doing a pool party!

Building a pool will tear up your yard!

There is no such thing as Simpler Times

People pray for the simpler times... these are the simpler times! As hard as it is to believe... this is it!  It’s just going to keep getting more complicated and more complicated and more complicated. 

Our Grandparents needed it.  Our parents, us and our children.   We will all need to go with the flow.  

Music isn't what it use to be... isn't that what our parents use to say when they heard our music?  Now we are saying that about the music of today.

Prices are as cheap as they where either, but who is making $3.15 an hour at minimum wage?  That use to be a living wage?  NO... it was a minimum wage job. just like a $7.25 is a minimum wage job.

There is no such thing as simpler times, because what we see as simple was not simple to those living in that time.  

Constant adaption of movement is what is needed to survive anything we come across.  Having roots is necessary for survival, but even the top of the tree learns to sway.
