Weekend Wonders

My weekend started Friday at 5 am, as I climbed out of bed to prepare myself for a day with Noah.
You ask who is Noah, That's not your husbands name. No, but he carries my husbands middle name. Noah is my grandson. Yes, I spent the day with him and his mommy and we had a blast shopping, playing, eating and more then the evening we were able to spent some quality time with granddad and daddy. So my weekend started with a wonderful day of love and family. Then Saturday was a day spent with the love of my life grocery shopping. I love just doing simple things with my man. I received a phone call from another little man that I love, Nathaniel, who was wanting grandma to jump on a plane and come see him. ( Oh I wish I could ).
And then on to Sunday What a wondrous time we had the church was jumping with the electricity of Jesus. I love feeling his presence. there is nothing in the world to bring you to full peace.

I love these guys!

and the girl in the back ground.

Where Have You Been?

.Wow how time flies, I was just trolling the net today and realized I had not been to my blog for quite a while. So here I am. trying to recall the last 4 and 1/2 months.. My last post was about my precious Princess winning the best costume. A lot has happened since then and I'm sure I can't remember everything that has been achieved since that date. I do know I've had an anniversary 36 yrs and then there was Thanksgiving and Christmas both which were small Paul, Sherry and Noah spent time with us and of course I enjoy every minute I get to spend with them. Yet I miss the time I don't get to spend with Natassja and her family. Life has thrown me some curve balls in my 56 yrs but the last one has been the hardest.  I am not a fan of baseball so if I get some of the terms wrong please forgive me. But the Curve ball that was sent my way 8 yrs ago almost put me out of the game. You wonder why things come your way?  I am still wondering. In those yrs so many things came flying at me that I didn't have time to duck and cover and was totally devastated.  I Have tried hard to hold it together and not let anyone know how I feel but I am sure at times it showed through. At one time I had dreams  and anticipation but that was a long time ago. Now it is wishes and hopes and those are very scares. One of my dreams was to be a close knit family and my children live close enough that I could see them and my grandchildren  regularly and be able to play and enjoy the grand babies to see each of their little milestones.But that isn't for me other people get to enjoy my grandma moments. Every other place that I have lived whether here or abroad I have been blessed with wonderful and close friends.but here I have none. No one I can talk to, cry with or go someplace with.. I sit day after day with me myself and I wishing.It is lonely and then on top of all that this year something happened that I really didn't know what had slapped me. I can't put it down here it was just to personal I am still reeling it is so fresh.
I am trying to make this year a different year hopefully I will get some courage to step out and start making myself be happy. I only have me right now. I need to get up and get out and do something before I die.
I am going to be 57 here real soon and I feel like the last 8 years are one big blur and that they have been wasted. Prayerfully with the help of God I can see this year as a turning point.
Oops didn't mean to write all this but I know no one ever reads my blog so it didn't hurt to relieve my sorry self and try and get some peace. Trying to look up.

Saturday's Surprise

Saturday August 4th the little town I live in sponsored the Dog Days of Summer Event with Contest and a parade and as you I'm sure guessed it was all about dogs. So I entered my little girl in it. This event was held to raise money for the downtown renovations a worthy cause.

As I said I entered my little girl Princess Snowball in 2 of the contest, Cutest Dog and Cutest Costume. I am so please to say she won 1st place in cutest costume. Now being her mommy I think she should have won both but Cutest Dog went to Lord Byron so at least Royalty still reigns.

Believing Receiving

These last two weeks were stressful. but had to keep the old chin up so that everyone would stay calm. My Husband was told at his yearly physical that the EKG and stress test showed he had a problem in his heart. We were worried but we tried to hand it to the Lord.  Much prayer was going up. Today David had to go to the hospital for a heart cath where they shoot a dye into the heart to look for blockages. Even the Doctor was amazed that there was nothing there that his heart was normal. At home now resting and recooping. I'm now having a hard time keeping him still. Its hard to keep an old dog down.

I Love this Man!

Totally Flumbuzzled

I have no idea how these other girls can stay on top of their blogs. As you can see I don't make it here very often. It's not like my life is not busy, it is. I always have my hand in something.

As you know one of my projects is the rermodeling/repurposing of my husbands old office actually our small middle bedroom room, my new sewing - crafting - computer surfing - office room ( by the way I need a name for this hideaway). My hubby now has his man cave which he really needs he has much more junk, oops I mean treasures than I one corner of his cave is his office the other corner is his model train play station one corner is the video area and the last corner has to be used for my vitrine, (china cabinet). So his room is full,just as mine is. Hopefully I will be finished here soon and be able to post my pictures but until then. 


Stay tuned I will try to remember to write here on my blog soon.

 Until then I posted a few random Pictures

                                           to keep you busy.

                                         HAPPY SATURDAY

Wow, can we stop and get off?

What a busy last few days. My Daughter and Grandson came for a visit, they were to arrive around 7:05pm July 7th but there was a major delay in Dallas. They didn't arrive in Tulsa until 3:00am exhausted, no completely creamed. But Nathaniel was ready to see Grandma.
The rest of the week was a whirlwind of fun and treasured memories. I had a blast he played in grandmas back yard, we celebrated granddads 60th birthday, went to great Grandpa's (grandpa okie) house ate lasagna that Nana okie made, played with the dogs rode on the mule and sat on sunshine the horse with the cameras flashing away. Then on Thursday we headed back to Tulsa to spend the remainder of their visit with Aunt Sherry and Uncle Paul. We went to the Aquarium and Incredible Pizza, where we ate and played games. then on July 14th my precious California kids went home, no delays this time.

will post more pics later.

Feedback on my Homemade Products

I said I would give a report on my homemade products. So here is a report, I am finding that the soap works very well, I am still tweaking the amount to use to see how much is really necessary to get a clean wash. The soap doesn't have any fragrance, I am looking for a place to buy inexpensive essential oils to add to the soap  so that my clothes would smell nice after laundering.  I also made other products that I will be posting about soon.
