whoops!

Today was a busy day! That is why no blog. Grandkids spent the night last night and we had a blast! I will update it tomorrow. Everything is a-ok!!!

happy days and sleepovers!

Yesterday I went and visited my mom, sisters and b-i-l Don. It was a great time and then I picked up my girl, Lauren, at school. We then grabbed Andrew and got a bite to eat and then took him to the church to go on a Leadership Retreat overnight. Such a great opportunity for him!!! He was nervous and excited. He had me pray with him before he left. Here is the picture of Lauren in the sunroof of my van taken with my camera as we waited for Andrew to leave. They didn't leave for an hour!!! But we wanted to wait until he was gone.

Came home and Lauren did my laundry for me and we just hung out. (She is telling me what to write). Sandy came over too! They get so excited when they see each other!!! I think I've said that before... but we took a video this time!


Today will be busy too. We are going to have breakfast and then go to Riley's soccer game! After the game Maddie, Dylan, Riley and Jordy are coming home with us! Having a sleepover at mam's tonight! Love those! Decided not to go to Old Mill Days.... way too expensive! Hoping to see the fireworks at 8:00 from somewhere over here! Can't wait to play games with the kids! First they play by themselves and after they get a bit bored with that they will pay attention to me. Lol!

I woke up yelling and having a nightmare this morning. We were leaving a gravel parking lot and Dylan was in the car and papa driving.... Lauren and Maddie were on roller skates or something holding on the the back of the car. People were cheering papa on and I told him to stop! He wouldn't listen.... and pulled out on the road and sped up! I was screaming at him and woke up. Then I came out and yelled at him. lol!

Please continue to pray for our friends in Georgia! I read Kelly's blog to papa this morning and it was so touching I had tears in our eyes. We immediately prayed for them.

I hope you all have a great weekend! God bless you all!

GRAY OR GREY? TGIF AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Got some plans today. Gonna wash that gray right oughta my hair! (Does anyone remember that jingle? I used to sing it to Karla when she was little but I would sub Karla instead of grey!) I also need to put my extra blanket on the bed. It is getting a bit cold at night. And I need to wash the bedding, clean house, wash clothes. Fun times. I've been busy this week with not much time to do the usual routine. Yesterday I ended up taking Mary to Bremerton again for a CT Scan. Didn't take very long.... then we went to Burger King on the way home because she hadn't eaten. Her and I are getting very close... sharing so much together. It is sweet and I love her. Stopped and visited Amanda on my way home. Lauren wasn't feeling well... and was sleeping. Poor baby! So I missed her but saw Andrew! And Sandy! Lois is coming to mom's today for 4 days! Mom is so excited!

This weekend is Old Mill Days in Port Gamble!!! They have a big carnival etc.... I want to get a corn dog!

Today is Kern's birthday.... Lanny's brother. I believe he is 57. Here is a picture of Rita, Kern, Lanny and Susan. Michael is the only one not in the picture. Sadly.... mom wanted a picture of all 5 of her babies... but it never seemed to happen. Have a great birthday, Kern!!!!
Short post... hope you all have a great day! God bless and bye bye now!

WHICH WAY TO GO???? I HAD TO LOOK IT UP!
The spelling of the word Gray/Grey.... fyi: "Grey is used primarily in areas that use UK English. Gray is used primarily in areas that use US English." They use Grey in Britain and Gray or Grey in the USA.
There are many other differences too. For example, we write travelled, in the US it has only one 'l', there's centre and center, theatre and theater etc, colour and color, labour and labor, defence/defense, jewellery and jewelry, kerb and curb, litre/liter/metre/meter, tyre and tire and so on.
The American spelling's often a little more phonetic.
