Shopping (Ugh)

It started out as a beautiful Fall day.....I was thinking about going outside and finishing up the yard work that I started the day before. Sheri and Megan came by and one thing led to another, you see I needed to find something to wear for the "BIG WEDDING"....we are all looking forward to it, especially Jillian...I had been looking for something for a week....well the girls said: "Mom why don't we go to Boise and look at the mall". No one wants to go to Boise and the Mall on Saturday!!! Needless to say we did go and it was packed with people, cars, etc.......we went from one end of the mall to the next, could not find anything except a velvet top, couldn't find a skirt to go with it...frustrating....(you know, Grandma is getting old and walking all over the mall, i cannot do anymore) We came home tired, the girls went home. Later that evening, there was a knock on the front door and guess who was there???? Sheri and Amber....they found a skirt for me to go with the top how nice was that....I love my family, they are so good to me. Don't we look happy??

Grandchildren & Naughty Maggie

I am so excited!!! Today I checked my blog and some of my sweet grandchildren wrote something on the blog....this is really fun!!! I am so thankful for my grandchildren they bring blessings to our life. Thank you.
This morning I let Maggie out to do her business and a few minutes later went outside to call her and no Maggie....well, it was dark outside and we couldn't see her anywhere, called and called...still no Maggie....Dave was here to go fishing with grandpa....so Dave called and looked, Grandpa called and looked, I called and looked....no maggie. Dave got in his car and drove all over the neighborhood, Grandpa got in our car and did the same....just about the time I was going to sit down and cry (yes, I said cry) guess who showed up with Todd and Rhonda's dog Rocket and Harley....your right....maggie.....needless to say we were not too happy with her....so she didn't get her usual treat this morning. We live such an exciting life!!! We love you all.

Rats, Rats, Rats and Rats

Here I am again....adding to my blog. We have a very playful granddaughter, actual we have 15 playful granddaughters, but this one thought she was soooooooooooooo funny! We went to bed last night and I laid my head on my pillow and thought golly this is so uncomfortable.......there was a big lump, I picked up my pillow and underneath the pillow laying there on the bed was the most hideous rat I have ever seen....a huge, gray, ugly rat. Grandpa laughed and laughed...I threw it across the room....our grandaughter, Amber tiptoed into our room and put that under my pillow when I wasn't looking and worst of all.....Grandpa knew all about it!!!! Shame on Amber. She had this stuffed ugly rat for Halloween....funny, funny.

This morning our Granddaughter Amber (Monkey Face) decided that I should have a blog and set this one up for me. Maybe I will make this my "Thankful for My Blessings" blog. I will copy another granddaughter's example. First of all I am so thankful for our family, for our wonderful grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I am especially thankful for my good husband. I hope this doesn't sound corny....but that is the way it is....family is the most important thing in our lives. We love our family.
