Easter Pictures

Has It Really Been That Long

Well here it is Feb. 2010 and this is my first entry of the year.
I love to blog hop and see all the beautiful blogs out there, and in a sense go visiting around the world. There are so many different interesting blogs and so many wonderful bloggers who really care about God, their families, their environment, who are willing to share their stories, crafts, ideas. It really is it's own little world. So I get caught up in these blogs, by the time I get to mine, I am either blogged out, or have somewhere else to be or simply run out of time. Enough said, I am here now, so let the show blogging begin.
If you like taking pictures there are so many photo memes out there. Everyday of the week there is at least one.
Sunday : I am sure there is one, don't have one listed, I will get back to this.
Monday: Mellow Yellow Monday, the pictures all have some yellow in them.Tuesday : Ruby Tuesday, the pictures all have red in them


Wednesday: Window Views 2, the pictures have windows and door themes.
Thursday: Tablescape Tuesday, if you can believe it the pictures are table settings. I have seen some pretty nice dishes and the table settings are very impressive.
Friday: Sky Watch Friday, you guessed it pictures of the sky. This is one of the most popular memes, often times they have close to 400 entries from all around the world every week. The pictures are amazing, I have put in a couple pictures.
Saturday: Pink Saturday, all things pink.
These are just a few, there are ones for animals, the world, metamorphism's of things, all things to do with water, pictures that are in monochrome, the outdoors and even postcards (I love postcards). So whatever your interest there is either a blog about it or a meme or both. How about you do some blog hopping today.
I am hoping to mention other blogs that I enjoy going back to often, they are usually colourful and have something to offer, I like feel good blogs ones that make me feel good, of course I like blogs that offer photo tips or photo of the day, scrapbooking blogs, craft blogs, and eating healthy blogs.
So today I will start with a feel good blog.
The Farm Chicks.
She has lots of ideas for crafts, decorating, cooking and it just a nice looking blog. Check it out, I think you will like it.
Also my daughter Amberley has a new blog, all about eating healthy click here to see it.
Here are some pictures from this past Christmas. All my kids and their kids were together for 1 day, Boxing Day. My brother and his wife Penny had Christmas this year and we had a wonderful time.
These are my 4 grandchildren, Gavin, Rain, Sydney and Ethan. Poor Sydney she had enough of Christmas at this moment.
These are my beautiful kids. Brittany, Owen and Amberley.
The next 2 pictures are of same people and pose just 2 different years. These young men are all of my mom's grandson's.

This year in September my daughter Brittany is getting married, in London. So how exciting is that.
This is their official engagement picture, it was taken by me at Rock Glen Conservation Area. Here are some other pictures that I took that day that I like.
Also another feature I was thinking of adding was Flashback Pictures, pictures taken many years ago, it can be of anything but should be at least 10 years old. Here's one to show you.

These young fellows are my brothers, Mike and Chris
One last picture, it is a fun one.
Almost everyone that was there at Christmas had a cell phone, so we took a picture of all the cell phones there.
Enjoy your day and all the best for 2010.

February's Only Post

It's February and I haven't posted at all this month.
I'll start out with the Feb. birthday's:

4th - Gavin's (my youngest grandson) 4th birthday

9th - Matthew (my nephew)
Earlier in the month I went to a lawyers so she could go over my separation papers, and to make sure I understood it all. I can't believe it's been a year since we separated.

Also earlier in the month on a Sat. I watched Ethan & Gavin while their parents went tubing with friends. We had a wonderful time the boys were well behaved and fun. My mom came to help out. We had lunch at McDonalds, then they played in the toy area for about 40 minutes. We then went to Blockbuster to rent "Space Buddies" which had just come out. This was going to be for the evening, we planned on making it a movie night, with pj's and popcorn. It was fun. But they wanted one to watch in the afternoon, so I said they could get an older one, well let me tell you that was an adventure. When one of them would finally decide on one the other one didn't want it, and so on. Finally they agreed on "Sleeping Beauty", I don't usually let them watch movies with witches or whatever the bad woman was (Amberley & Perry don't either) but it took so long to pick one, I relented. We did a craft and then while I was preparing supper they watched that movie. After supper and clean up, pj's were put on popcorn was made and we sat down to watch the movie and had a very pleasant evening.

Then the next day was Gavin's birthday party.

On the 10th I had breakfast with my friends from work. The Tuesday Girls. We ate at Smitty's today the food was good but there was no fruit, which we all like. We had a smaller group this month but we had a good visit.

Our friends from church came from New Mexico, I didn't get to spend a lot of time with them, but I enjoyed the time we did have together.

I found out some wonderful news last week, Amberley & Perry are going to have another baby. Gavin just turned 4, so they are out of the routine but are very happy about the little one. So am I.

I had a nice surprise on Wed. I was on my break when I heard "grandma" and there was Gavin, and the others were coming. They had planned on giving the boys a hotel experience, and found a hotel with an indoor pool in Port Huron, so they stopped in Sarnia on the way. I was getting off at 5 so they waited around so we could go out for supper together, we went to Boston Pizza. What a nice day.

I am now on vacation, apart from going to Chatham for church, Bible study and an afternoon at the Spa (Christmas present) I am not venturing far. I want to get my house cleaning caught up, and start to pack for my move to Chatham in July.

Yesterday I went to the post office in Port Huron to hand in my application for a passport. Everything went well, I was hoping picture was ok since it was taken here, so hopefully I will have it sometime in March. Now we have to go to London to get Owen's.

It is snowing again, I am so tired of snow and the winter.

When I talked to Brittany last time, she told me that she put a deposit down where her wedding is going to be next year. She is so excited about it. A wedding is exciting, I can't wait to see how beautiful she will look in her wedding dress, and Rain is wearing a tux with tails, so cute. It's going to be a wonderful day.

Well that is my month so far, busy and full, I am very blessed.

Life

Life for me has been sad, busy, funny, & good.

Sad because one of my friends died suddenly a few weeks ago. But unfortunately she lived in California, so I couldn't go and pay my respects like I wished that I could of. She was such a nice person, had a nice smile, and a great laugh, and she loved the Lord.

Busy because of work and everyday life including errands.

Funny & good because of my grandchildren and Owen. Last night Owen took me out for supper, for no reason at all. He took me to East Side Marios. Not only was the meal delicious, but we had a real nice time and wonderful conversation. Thanks Owen you are the best son.

All in all life is great.

I saw several movies in the past couple of weeks. I saw several with Barbra Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. They are really wonderful actors, though I wouldn't put them on my list of favourites. But I do enjoy watching their movies. One more week then vacation time, I cannot wait. Have a good weekend.

Here are some pictures from Boxing Day 2006
