Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful day. Went to Jackson and had lunch at Brookies Barn with Danny, Debbie, Cannon, Brennan & Avery; Jeremy, Bridget, Abigail & Hunter. The food was good and all the kids were very good. Thanks for lunch Jeremy & Bridget!! Abigail & Hunter gave me a pretty trivet with their pic on it. Cannon, Brennan & Avery gave me a photo album complete with their pics on each page and they made me a card. I love my gifts!! Thank you all soooo much!!

I LOVE my family!!

Still painting...

My neighbor (Jean) and I painted our master bath today. Just have to put up the border, get the shower curtain and rugs and the bath will be finished. We made a fast trip to Corinth last night to get a valance for the bedroom, they only had one so I ordered one, it should be here next week. While Jean is working on the hall next week I'm going to paint the trim and the vanity in the main bathroom. I plan on making valances for the guest room but may end up buying them, just depends on the time.

I want to get some shorts and tops made for the grands to take to the beach. I think they are leaving June 10 which isn't that far off.

Home Face Lift

I have been doing some redecorating. I've finished painting the MBR and now I'll start on the master bath. I have to strip the wallpaper, paint and put up border in the bath. I have our comfort set but still need to get the curtains. Of course, since I'm totally changing colors I'll need a shower curtain and rugs for the bath. Then it is on to the guest room, bath and sewing room. Haven't decided on colors for those yet. It is a lot of work but I LOVE it!!

Fun and Games

Hunter stayed with us for awhile today so Bridget could take Jeremy to the doc for his post-op exam. He got a good report and can resume driving, so that will help them out a lot!

We have been enjoying watching the grands play ball. I went to watch Abigail and she did great. I watched Hunter so their Mom could take pics.

Then we went to watch Cannon and Brennan play. They did great also, they can really hit. Avery was so sweet!! He was in his stroller for awhile and he went anywhere he wanted to go by pushing his feet, of course, he went backwards but hey as long as it works, right!!??!!

More Surgery for Jeremy

I know Jeremy is so tired of one surgery after another. This one, April 28, will make number 7 back surgeries in 3 years. Last year he had to have his esophagus stretched and had to have that done again on April 22.

Hunter stayed overnight with us on the 28th, he is such a joy, as long as he can ride on the 'Gator' he is a happy little guy!!

Ball Game

We went to watch Cannon & Brennan play ball Saturday. It was sooo much fun!! After the game they came home with us and stayed overnight. We took them home Sunday evening. They are so good when they are here, very active, but really great boys! We miss them so much when they go home.

My Birthday

April 8 was my birthday. I had a very nice day, however, I sure missed my phone call that always came around 5:00 p.m. I sure miss my Dad on special days. He always called when he came home from work. Some days are still hard, like my birthday or my children and grandchildren's birthday. This was my first birthday since Dad went home to be with the Lord. I'm very thankful for the years that we had him and I know he is in a better place, but I still miss him.



I have been doing lots of sewing last week and this week. I still have some handwork to do on a dress then I'm finished with my Easter sewing. Then it is on to sewing for C,B & A. I'm making shorts and appliqued tee's. I'm planning to make the shorts and appliques with 'animal' fabric. I'm hoping they are as cute as I think they are going to be!!
