ASBURY GARDENS CONVO

This is how it went today ~ I was visiting Granny Pat this morning and spent most of the time talking with her about how she was all packed up and ready to move. . . where? Not sure. She told Kevin she was moving to Geneva and told me she was moving down the street. Maybe, secretly, she was moving back to her own house at 600 Parker!! However after giving it much thought, and hearing voices (she actually said that!) she decided moving was not the wise thing to do right now! She she's staying put at AG, even though she thinks most of the people are ugly and mean :-)
So we had lunch together at AG and was it a hoot!! We sat at table #4, her normal table with 2 other ladies. One was Jeanette and one was, well, for lack of knowing her name I'll call her Lady M and there's a reason for that!! Ask me, I'll tell you!! Anyway, the lunch convo was like Abbott and Costello and "who's on first!!" No lie, I had all I could do to keep from laughing at these ladies including granny who was certainly a part of the talk around the table!! Jeanette mumbled through whatever she was saying and once in a while a clear word would come out! Lady M just shook her head and agreed with everything. She also just ate the frosting off her cake. She said that's the best part :-) Granny ate a WHOLE plate of chicken parmesan, fruit, vegies and dessert!! I couldn't believe it! It was probably the best lunch conversation I've had in a while!! (That's because I normally eat lunch alone!) So, I talked with Granny about Thanksgiving thinking it would encourage her to know that was coming and she said, "wait a minute, what about St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (That's how every conversation goes!) She said she wanted to wear her St. Patty's Day green hat!! So, I think we should do corned beef & cabbage for Thanksgiving, what do you all think??

TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY!!


So this is what dad's doing on this dull, rainy Friday! What else?

DULL, RAINY FRIDAY!


So, my comments today are about sitting around waiting for the Comcast guy to come and help us hook up our "had to have" digital adapters for our TV's. Couldn't do it ourselves you know. We're just not tecky minded. Just don't get it, no way, no how. What's wrong with us? There's only 4 easy steps and we can't make it past Step 1 :-) Sure hope the Comcast guy is nice and easy to understand. I'm going to follow him all over my house because it is a little creepy having someone walking all through your house. That's because we have TVs in every room, well almost! What happened to the days when there were NO TVs in our house. TV was evil!!!! Oh well, I'm glad those days are over. Kevin says we need to buy new TVs because they are all digital already. Okay Kevie come up with the bucks. So, that's about it for now. Have a good one!

SCRAPBOOKING

This post is about all the scrapbooks I have completed since the end of July, 2009!! That would be FIVE, yes, you read it right, FIVE!! I completed Cameron's, Clarice's, my grandchildren book, a brand new granddaugher book and am almost done with my grandson book!!!! It's amazing how once I REstarted with the scrapbook thing that it just took off in my head!!! Once I'm done with the grandson book I'm going to start another grandchildren book because the first one is full :-) I wish I had a camera like Kym's and could just take a picture of all the books laying out in the grass or something. No, wait, they'd get wet out there, so maybe on the couch or table! I might try it we'll see!!! So happy scrapbooking to me! Can't wait till you all can see them!

Love
Gramma

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYM KRYSTINE!

Since it's my only daughters birthday I felt I needed to express my love to her on this beautiful birthday blog site!! I will never forget July 31st, 1967. I was home with my mom, living with her because Frank was on his way to VietNam. It was horrible. However, I did survive, but I don't know how. My inborn stamina and positivity I guess. I didn't know God back then. My one insane comment as my water broke and we were on our way to the hospital was, "this isn't so bad. It's just like in the movies!!" Little did I know. It was pretty bad having a baby without a husband there, but I did make it through with my mom and my best friend, Joan. Kym was born breach, with only a 12 hr. labor, not too shabby :-) I was put under though just right before she was born. Crazy what they did back in the day!! So my little girl, I will be forever thankful that God gave you to me. We had the best of times together, you and me, during those days that your dad was gone. I don't know how it would feel not to have a daughter, I'm so glad I don't have to know. Precious, loving, tender, caring, creative, sweet, awesome, god fearing, wonderful mom and wife. . . you are all those things are more. What did I ever do to deserve you?? God only knows!! Happy Birthday sweetheart!!
