A different week.




On my week off, I so often veg in front of the TV and just slug it. But, this week, Gary and I went to my young friend, Keely's wedding reception in Redmond. She and Casey actually were married in Missouri in August and their church friends wanted to do the extra reception in central OR. Keely is an RN and work together. She is just a sweetheart and a delight to work with. She and her husband will have a good life. They did things in God's order.


Next, I had a couple of extra meetings in Prineville this week, not fun, but out of the norm.


I'm actually starting some craft projects for Christmas gifts for my daughters.


Yesterday, we had our grandsons, Shay and Dylan overnight. We had fun playing ping pong. Nana and Grandpa wooped them bad!! Yaa!!! We watched a movie, worked on crafts together and they took a soak in our hot tub. They had a good time. That makes me happy, seeing how they are both teenagers and still find it fun to hang out with the old folks.

Our headboard is actually an antique door that I initially painted the inner panels green and the frame an off white. I never really liked how it turned out. I had been mulling over what colors I wanted and then Emily suggested, black and white matching the picture of the Beatles. So, I think the whole bedroom will eventually change. I want to replace out prestent oak bedroom furniture with second hand pieces that I can restore. That will be a while away, because it will take some time to find the "perfect" piece.

Celebrate!!!

Well, the following is the celebration of "Grandson's" 5th birthday. It was celebrated at Chuckee Cheese. His best friend, Mason is the other boy in the pic.
First, is Mom and her little ones. Followed by the Batman cake. Then, the traditional "make a wish and blow out the candles". Hmmm, I think Marco wished for blue lips!!
The kids had a blast and Grammy was pooped afterwards. Trust me.

About Me

United States
At the present, I would describe myself first, as a child of God and follow with wife, mother, grandmother, friend, nurse and invisible woman. If you are female age 50 or above, most likely you understand my invisibility. I've always understood my mortality, it's the loss of youthfulness I grieve. I was born in NV and raised in CA (a latch-key kid). I presently reside in central OR, a lovely place to live, but leaves me lonely for my dear friends & too far from my family. I know the love of a good man. I'm the mother of 3 wonderful adult children & Grammy to two (my "adorables"), and "Nana" to a "bonus" of 5. Nursing has been my profession for 25 yrs. I believe that politics is corrupt & that we we're living in serious times. There you have it, the sum of my 56 yrs with hopes that I've made some kind of difference on this earth for the Master.
