Westward I Go!!

I'm packing, sorting, folding and getting ready to go West. I'm getting so excited. I'm going to see ALL of my grandbabies and all my girls in one pile. I can't believe it.

Who Would Have Thunk It

I don't think David ever got this dirty when he was a young child. But He sure gets dirty now. He is rebuilding an engine in our garage for his "New" Honda Civic. This is the new car that lasted about 3 drives a few months ago. I'm sure I mentioned it in emails if not in blogisphere. Anyway I thought you'd like to see this dirty boy in all his glory.

Tiny little Grand Babies

Well I can't seem to get any two legged grandbabies of my own down here so I'm forced to love tiny little four footed grandbabies. Hey, I take em where I can get em. The puppy belongs to Amanda, David's girlfriend and the kitty belongs to Chelsea and Matt. They are both so precious. I still love Shelby and Gracie, but really, they can't fit in my pocket.

A Beautiful Sentiment

A very dear and very old (not in age) friend of mine sent me this link and I thought I would share it with those I love.

Tomato Boy

Yesterday, David went to Panama City with two Brethren to the "Pick and Pull". This is a place that old and damaged cars go to die and where people go to pick over the carcasses for parts. David needs a new engine and various other parts for his poor sad car that he has owned for months and driven maybe 6 times. Anyway they spent the day climbing over cars completely oblivious to that big bright round yellow ball in the sky. David came home doing a darn good imitation of a tomato. Needless to say he is in a lot of pain. This is not good for my little toe-headed boy.

A New Addition to Someone's Family

This little bundle of joy is named Kane. He belongs to Amanda, David's Sweetie Pie. He is a cutie. He has a lot of personality and likes everyone. He has even taken naps on "Grandpa Bill". They put him on the floor in the kitchen and then put this hat over him and for the next minute or two this hat was walking all over the floor. It was hysterical. I wish I had it on film.

Forgetful Me

I forgot to thank Megan for my new Spring look. Thank you Meggie. I love it.

My New Spring Look

I love my new look. I feel so fresh and Springlike. As usual there is nothing going on in my life right now. Well nothing exciting enough to blog about. I had the Sears repairman here again for my new stove. The second time for the same problem. David and Amanda are still together and in the front room probably "snogging" as William puts it. My knee is still healing. A slow process. We are done with a round of colds.

I Wouldn't Have Believed It.

Well for three or four months last year I was without an oven. The stove part of it worked, but not the oven. We could have had it repaired, but it would have cost almost as much as a new stove. Granted, a low end stove, but a new one none the less. Well we waited and waited until we felt we could afford it and we bought a super duper splendiferous Kenmore Elite, top of the line fancy schmansy stove that does everything but dish up and serve the food. I love it. Just love it. Anyway.. last night I was cooking on my smooth cooktop with the variable size burners, and all of a sudden it died. For 10 minutes, nothing would turn on. The oven worked, but not the stove top. It finally turned back on, but I just checked it and it is dead again. Sears can't come out until March 31st to fix it. It must have a short somewhere. So this magnificent specimen of technology that cost over $2000 has lasted a whole 3 months. Oi vey.

Little Brother is in love

David has a girl friend. A whole 2 weeks. This one may stay around awhile. She lives very close by, not a drama queen and she seems to really be crazy about David. (well really, who wouldn't be) She is very sweet and well mannered and swears she is only 14, though I would have sworn she was 18. Might be the eyes though. Anyway... I like her and she has been exposed to the very special brand of Ahroon love and attention. You know, thats somewhere between being a "Survivor Show" winner and being mauled by a bear. Where you leave feeling slightly light headed and dazed and you check your wallet. She survived and actually keeps coming back for more. How can we not like her.

Big Doin's

Well it's been forever since my last post. My life really isn't all that interesting and I am usually hard pressed to come up with things to write about. But I'm sure that in this span of time SOMETHING must have happened worth mentioning.

I know that on February 19th I had my right knee replaced. That wasn't fun and was a lot of pain for a week or so. But it's now 32 days later and I'm walking unaided and without a limp. There is still pain, but nothing like in the beginning. I think by Monday I can probably use Tylenol to handle it.
