Recuperating...

I was a little tired today. Watching active grandbabies (2 yrs, and 7 yrs) can be tiring, but still enjoyable. Did some errands this evening - delivered a photo to Mom, got a couple of gifts for the Senior Saints Luncheon on Thursday, and helped Chris pick out a dress for Desiree for their anniversary. Planning to get some rest tonight...

Monday - busy day

I've had another busy day. Didn't sleep real sound last night - concerned about Steph sleep walking and Abby was sleeping in between Steph and I. The night was uneventful - just the usual tossing and turning of a 2 yr old. Steph stayed put. We went to get the door lock fixed on the new van - passenger side didn't always lock or unlock. It took Chris just a few minutes to replace it. Enjoyed a day with the girls - doing puzzles, playing games, shopping, and making smoothies. Our anniversary party card arrived in the mail - it was a hoot. (Thanks, Julie for taking care of this part). Going to try to get some sleep tonight...

Sunday and two grandbabies spend the night...

This is John's last week of work. When he gets off on Friday morning, he will be officially retired. I owed Stephanie a "spend the night with Nonni" since she was away at National's when her sisters stayed. We met Chris & Desire (w/girls) for supper after Desire got off work. Stephanie came and Abby had to come with her. Hopefully, it will be a smooth night - I'm sure it will. Love having the grandbabies - they are growing up to quickly. Been having lots of storms so I'm hoping to get this posted before the next one. We are thankful for the rain - it is much needed. Thank you God for an awesome day!

A day to relax

Saturday was a wonderful day. Caught up on some sleep and then we ran errands. Found some pillows for the couch - I'll have to check them in the daylight to see if I like them (got a green shade, Ms. Deb). John and I thoroughly enjoyed being together...

Light Sapphire Blue Van

We have a beautiful light sapphire blue van. It has a passenger door on the driver side which is new to us. We will miss the built-in child seats, but we will manage. It is so nice to have a reliable van. The AC is really cold which is great! Chris and Cliff worked hard to get everything ready for us - they even got my scooter lift installed. I drove it tonight - it's great. I'll probably be lost looking for the gold van for a while, but I'll remember it's now blue or get carted off to the looney bin...

We have a van almost...

Chris called today to say Dave (Stups) had found a van for us. It has to go through inspection yet, but we are excited. It is a 2003 blue Ford Windstar LX. I've had several blue cars in my life - my Dad used to say "is blue the only color car you can buy?" Chris is going to try to get my scooter lift installed tomorrow. Our old van is on its last leg, 174K miles. It has been a good van, but we are excited at the prospect of having something reliable. Chris, John, and Cliff say the new van is a nice one. I've only seen pictures. Plan to see it tomorrow. God is good...

More relaxing day...

Was up most of the night finishing up the reunion directory for layout and the financial spreadsheet. Then I had to work on an ad for AJ's and Stephanie's baton field day book. When I went to bed around 4:30 AM, I felt I had accomplished a great deal. I haven't slept a lot today - hope for tonight. I think Julie and I have locked in on a place for John's and my anniversary party. We'll see it Friday night. My Mom called this afternoon to tell me her cousin, Violet, had passed away. Violet was a sweet lady and a very special person. I'll miss her. She would have been 90 on her birthday on Saturday. Now, she'll be celebrating with Jesus...
