Rain, television, and beans on Thursday!

Happy Thursday! Today rained and rained and rained. It is still raining. I watered the indoor plants and cleaned up and took care of the outdoor plants. Didn't need to water them, for sure.   I also swapped places with my and Lanny's chairs. It feels weird to have my chair over here now....but I like it! He had this spot since we moved here and now it is mine!!!! I have a little lamp and shelves and stuff. It is perfect for me. Cleaned papa's den too. That is where he watches TV most of the time. He seems to be content in there. Whatever. I like House Hunters, Property Brothers, cooking challenges, reality shows, Animal Planet, competitions, game shows, etc...  Papa likes drama, mystery (things like the Mentalist, CSI, NCIS, Hawaii Five-O, Person of Interest, and westerns.) So we usually watch TV in different rooms. We can still talk...we are not that far away from each other.  Of course, you can always hear one another anywhere in our home. It isn't very big.  But I like it.


Made Navy beans and ham for dinner.  Papa and I both love it! It was one of my dad's favorite dinners and it is perfect for a rainy day! It's so easy with beans, water, onions, ham, carrots (celery if you want) and pepper....boil it for an hour or two. Num. With homemade bread it is the bomb! (That doesn't sound like me.)

So far the week has been good.  Spent some time with Lauren. She loves to play games...any games. Board games, card games, computer games, you name it. And she really loves to beat me. lol!

I liked how the sun shines on the parents in the morning. It is like they are smiling on me and I wanted to share it with you.

Monday was the last day of school for Lauren, Andrew, Maddie and Dylan. I went to Lauren's school and watched an assembly for 2 hours.  She performed a Native American Lullaby.

 Most of the time I sat in back like this....

 I wasn't planning on going...but Lauren talked me into it. Papa sat out in the van the whole time! lol!  I was bored. There were  alot of awards, presentations, and stuff.  I did figure out that my head looked like it was on Eeyore! That was a cool thing that kept me busy for awhile! ha ha! That sweatshirt was so hot! Like I said, I wasn't planning on going. I sat back by the open door.

After the assembly I got a picture of Lauren with Mrs. Rova, her teacher. She loves her.

One thing that is kind of amazing is that Andrew is now a Senior!!! I have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. He was just a baby!!!! His mom made this comparison picture and when I saw it I cried!!!! Touched my heart.

Jordy moved up to high school this year. At her school you have to be a Sophomore to be in the high school. Dylan and Parker are now sophomore's, too. Riley is going into 5th grade...same as Maddie and Lauren!!!!

  Patrick is now 8th grade, Josh is in 3rd and Jared in 2nd! Hard to believe how fast my grandbabies are growing up!!!!

Yesterday was my sisters birthday!  I don't see her but I called her and left my singing message and we got to talk later. I posted some pictures to show you she hasn't changed at all. Still my beautiful little sister. Love you Libby!!!!!

God bless you and yours,
