WELCOME
KAYLA'S DANCE RECITAL
What a wonderful experience! Not only did I get to see an entertaining program, but I was able to see my grand-daughter perform four times. It was at the Rialto Theater, one of the largest in town. She was to graceful and pretty, I could have burst. Her Mom and Dad have been so supportive and encouraging and it makes such a difference in her confindence. She will definately be our little Star.
Sarah is the little blonde, giggling as usual making future plans, which means the day after graduation!
Logan, who is a dear friend of Sarah's came down from Memphis to help her celebrate her day. He was so sweet and I've never been called Maam so much, but with a southern accent it sounds so sweet.
This is the whole family right before the ceremony, note we are still smiling. There were over 500 grads, and at least 5,000 people who attended. The ceremony itself was beautiful, but like I said the heat was like sitting in the middle of the desert. She will be entering the Air Force in August and she carries my heart with her.
NEW PROJECT THE BEGINNING
The horses are made of muslin and the tails and mane are made from clay.
BIRTH OF A CAROUSEL
The carousel is made upon a turntable with styrofoam and bits and pieces of cardboard,lace and lots of beads.
WHEW!!! FINISHED
This took me quit awhile, but I'm pleased with the results. But believe me I can understand why the price of carousels are so high. They are quite a challenge!
"WHEN PIGS FLY"
As of today they do, what fun this was to design, I laughed everytime I started working on this. I'll never say that phrase again without thinking of this guy.
I can always tell when Spring has sprung, my husband drags out our golf clubs and starts polishing them. I don't know why, mine always looks like I've been using them as a spade. The phone starts ringing and all his Frat Brothers start calling to making arrangement for their annual get together. This year we're playing in Georgia. It's great fun for us, but you should see the faces on the guys at the club house when eight seventy year olds head in to play 18 holes. They usually allert the nearest EMT's just in case. We've played all over these United States and they've been doing this for fourty years. May the golf gods be with us!
THE GATHERER
Another challenge met and made.
MINATURE DOLL & BEAR SWAP
This is Merry-Pippin, he is on his way to Debb to live on a farm. I'm sure he will be very happy there and I know Debb will take good care of him.
YOU CAN'T SEE HIM TOO WELL, BUT THIS IS WHERE "MERRY-PIPPIN" LIVES.
Monday, June 2, 2008
It has been quite awhile since I've had a chance to get back to my blog, but so many things have been going on and since the best place to start is at the beginning; I'll begin at the end. My first grand-daughter, Sarah, graduated high school, ordinarily this would be a simple attendance to the graduation and party, but NOOOOO! We traveled fourteen and a half hours, on highways that were being repaired and gas prices that required a second mortgage on the house. I'm a northern girl, born and bred in Chi-town and after crossing the Tennessee mountains, the temp began to rise along with the humidity, we grit our teeth, shed some clothes and began our adventure. There was a Grand-parents breakfast, which was really nice, then came the graduation. It started at seven in the evening, you'da thought it would cool off, NOOOOOOO! It was eighty-eight degrees and we sat for three hours on metal bleachers. Needless to say after an hour, I could no longer feel my back or my bottom. Her party was great and I drank lots of water and really enjoyed the air-conditioning, oh by the way this was in Georgia, and beautiful state, but if someone gave me a house there, I would give it back. Like I said I enjoy summer, but I also enjoy the four seasons and snow. And now you know, just how much grand-parents love their grand-children.
