4th of JULY

Some how I deleted Beckys picture so had to figureout how to re post her.  Guess I  did it because you can see she is back.  

We had a quiet  holiday with a fun ride in our MG  around town and the beach.  a bit cool but the sun was  out and warm.  Had  a little grilling  and enjoyed the neighbors  firework show at the end of the day.  We enjoy some quite  time right now  thinking of all  we have to do before fall.

Jessie, our grandaughter,  was  over for a little while  while Mom & Dad went out for dinner  this is precious time for us.   Lately she has been  working with her hourse for a  cowboy rodeo in August.   Lots of practice. we will miss to grandchildren the most when we are south for the winter.

FLORIDA BOUND!

WELL, THE PAPER WORK IS  FINISHED AND WE ARE THE PROUD OWNERS OF A  HOME IN  FLORIDA.  THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS TO GET ALL OUR DUCKS IN ORDER BUT NOW WE MOVE ON TO DECIDING WHAT TO MOVE TO THE SOUTH AND WHAT  TO KEEP UP NORTH.  I'M SURE THIS WILL BE  A BUSY TIME FOR US BUT I HOPE TO KEEP FAMILY POSTED  ON ALL OUR PLANS WITH THIS  FLOORMAT.  WILL TRY TO ENCLUDE PICS AS WELL.  AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING WITH BECKYS PICS. KEEP CHECKING BACK FOR UPDATES.

DANCE REVIEW

WELL, LAST NIGHT WAS GRANDAUGHTERS DANCE REVIEW AND WHAT A SHOW IT WAS.  EVERYONE  HAD ON BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES IN A RAINBOW OF COLORS AND OFCOURSE MY GRANDAUGHTER WAS THE MOST LOVELY DANCER OF ALL.  SHE HAS BEEN DANCING OR 11 YRS. NOW AND EACH YEAR SHE GETS BETTER AND BETTER.  SHE WAS IN TWO DIFFERENT PREFORMANCES.  ONE FOR JAZZ AND THE OTHER FOR TAP.   SHE DID A GREAT JOB.  WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER.

IT IS RAINING TODAY SO ALLL PROJECTS WILL BE DONE INDOORS.  IT HAS BECOME WARMER, MORE LIKE SUMMER  OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS.  IT'S ABOUT TIME.  NOW IF WE CAN KEEP THE SUN  SHINING MAYBE IT WILL SEEM MORE LIKE JUNE.

 

TRIP TO THE CEMETERY

WE WENT TODAY TO SEE WHAT ALL WE HAD TO DO FOR THE CEMETERY GRAVES THIS YEAR AND CAN YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY DUG UP THE HOSTA PLANTS THAT WE HAD PUT IN AT MY FATHER-IN-LAWS HEAD STONE.  HOW COULD SOMEONE BE SO DESPERATE THAT THEY STEAL FROM THE DEAD!  I KNOW THESE ARE HARD TIMES BUT THAT IS REALLY LOW.  THEY TOOK DIRT AND ALL.  LEAVING A GIANT DITCH  BEHIND THE STONE.   WE WILL REPLACE THEM BUT WITH RELUCTANCE WONDERING HOW LONG BEFORE THE THIEF WILL RETURN TO DIG UP MORE   OF OUR LABORS.  I AM SURE THEY WILL ENJOY THEIR BEAUTYS AS THEY WE VERY HARDY BUT I WOULD HOPE THEY ALSO ARE REMINDED OF THEIR ILL GAINS EVERY TIME THEY LOOK AT THEM.

WE HAVE GOOD NEWS  ABOUT OUR HOUSE IN FLA.  THE PAPER WORK IS ALMOST COMPLETE AND WE WILL BE PROUD OWNER OF PROPERTY IN THE WARM SOUTH.  CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK AND START DECORATING AND GETTING READY FOR OUR STAY FOR THE WINTER.  YEA,  NO MORE SHOVELING OF SNOW FOR ME  THIS WINTER.. I WILL BE MOWING GRASS INSTEAD.. SPEAKING  OF GRASS I MOWED HALF OUR YARD YESTERDAY AND THE OTHER HALF TODAY.  JUST IN TIME TOO.  IT STARTED TO RAIN ONLY HOURS AFTER I FINISHED.  A NICE SOFT RAIN THAT HELPED THAT GRASS  TO KEEP ON GROWING SO I CAN KEEP ON MOWING.  GREATEST EXCERCISE I KNOW.

WELL, I'M BACK FROM THE SOUTHERN VACATION.  NOT REALLY A VACATION.  WE WENT TO BUY  A HOME NEAR TALLAHASSEE, FLA.  IT WAS A FORCLOSURE HOME AND THERE ARE SO MANY  STRINGS ATTACHED  IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN  ONE  TRIP DOWN THERE TO CLOSE THE DEAL.  WELL,  SO BE IT,  WE WILL WAIT IT OUT FOR THIS GOOD DEAL AND A OPTION TO LIVE IN THE WARMER  WEATHER DURING THE WINTER.

THANKS TO THOSE WHO WELCOMED ME TO THIS NEW ADVENTURE. THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT. WILL TRY TO SHARE SOME OF MY ADVENTURES WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY  DURING THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.  LOTS WILL BE HAPPENING WITH GRADUATION AND DANCE RECITALS, ETC.  A VERY BUSY MONTH AHEAD. GRANDSON HAS INFORMED US HE PASSED HIS EMT TEST AND CAN NOW  BE ON BOARD WITH THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT.  WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIS ENDEVORS. HIS PICTURE IS UP ON  'MUDDYBOOTS ACRES'. YOU GO KEN!

solo entry

Well, guess I will try to post again today and see what happens.   This will be the only entry for a few weeks  because we are going on a trip for 3 weeks.  When I get back i will  persue  this with a little more zest and also try downloading pictures.  This  will make my daughter happy that  I CAN  at least get on the computer.  She is very patient to help me learn this.  Thanks to her....
