Speaking of... I wrote my own obituary. My kids and grandkids said I can't do it...it's not right. But I think if you want it right you should do it yourself. lol! We are checking out a few groups call People's Memorial Association and A Simple Cremation Service to line up our ducks and so our kids don't have to pay or hassle with it all.
Well, enough of that. Papa is making a German Chocolate cake. He hasn't done that in a long time. His birthday is in 5 days. Sure made the house smell good. But I have started cutting down this week because I am at my peak weight. Not good.
The grand kids are moving on up a grade now. Jared is going up to be in 9th grade and Joshua in 10th!!!
Lauren and Riley are going to be Seniors!
Madi is a different story. She is suppose to be a Senior too but she got a scholarship from the college she went to last summer for the writing program. She couldn't pass it up so she had to work hard and finish her high school courses NOW. I am so proud of her that she did it too! So she graduated from high school this year (no ceremony because of the virus) but in August she is off to Massachusetts to start college! She is pretty excited. I think 16 is too young but I am still so proud of the young lady she has become. We have been celebrating her with a neighborhood parade that went around streets and her cul-de-sac that we participated in. So did her other sets of grandparents. We followed about 15 cars up to her house while her and her mom stood outside in the rain with Joel video taping it. Madi looked so happy. People gave her flowers and cards! It was awesome.
Karla made these pictures of Madi when she started kindergarten and finished school. Then one of her through the years.
We had a graduation party last Saturday. She had three parties last weekend. It was so fun Here are som pictures!
It was so good to see everyone. Papa and I were the only ones wearing the masks. We have to keep ourselves protected. It would be bad if we caught the virus.
We saw the kids another time during this pandemic. Karla planned for Mother's Day they all come to our house and everyone brought their own lunches and we picnicked in our back yard. That was wonderful and I was so happy!
Well, that is about all we've been doing for the last couple months. I have been shopping Amazon and Walmart online quite a bit. Tara buys our groceries every week but I try to order some things to make it easier on her. I try to order box and canned things. Hope it helps her. Makes me feeling like I am doing something. Sure love that girl! Just recently bought Bisquick and Syrup. For papa's birthday I just bought a battery holder that holds about 84 batteries. I also bought hi a hose that curls up really small that he wanted. Saw them both on TV but they are better and no shipping fees on Amazon.
Kevon has people who come and takes care of his yard so he started paying them to come do ours too. That took such a huge burden off Papa. He was struggling with his breathing and getting tired. Kevon is a good son. Love him so much!
Our neighbors have the coolest tree I took a picture of for Papa. He said he never saw one before and we can't figure out what it is.
Well, our pets are all fine. She found someone to groom Scruffy and she was great!!! Right now he is limping. Hurt his foot or has arthritis. Cat is fine. Getting nails done every month.
Well, hope you have a great summer! Stay safe! God bless you!
