Grandma's Journal

It has been a very busy week. We have been on on the river 3 days this week fishing. It is nice to be out on the boat just letting the sun go down around us. No fish to bring home, but have had fun.

The kids like it also. Desi loves sitting with her head out the window and the breeze blowing her hair. Carson enjoys sitting on the seat on the back of the boat with Grandma and hanging his hand over the side while we are under way and having the coolness of the water hit his hand.

Today has been a lazy day here on the home front. Neil goes back to work today, so it will be just mom and I for dinner. She actually ate a great dinner. We had pork roast, coen, white rice and gravy, with Chocolate cake from Costco's for dessert.

With dishes down, food put away, I guess I should go downstairs and do a little bit of laundry. I need to get things caught up around the house that I have put off due to playing on the water and vacation as Hockey starts in a week. So that will once again keep me busy!!! yes there is a great big smile on my face!!!!

Grandma's Journal My Journal I became a Grandma at the age of 49 years old. Well I was actually only 17 days from being 50. My baby girl gave me gave me my first grandchild. He was a beautiful bouncy boy. Then 2 years later she surprised me on my birthday at 5am by waking me up and telling me "Happy Birthday Mom!" Time to get up we are going to the hospital and having a baby today! I told her NO that's tomorrow. It took a little bit for her to get it through my groggy head that she was going to be giving me a birthday present! and she totally did. She gave me a dark hair beautiful little grand daughter. Now I can enjoy spoiling 2. I have decided that the best thing in the world is being a Grandma! There is nothing that come close to that! I have been married for 30 years to a man that lives for his family. He only wants the best for all of us and spoils us all! He is a good man that works hard for his dollar. We have a pretty good marriage to say the least. Well it must be if we can put up with each others faults this long! My mom who has Alzehimers lives with us and has been for almost 3 years now. She is in the finally stages of the disease and still hangs in there. She loves to grab the broom and sweep. She does this everyday, and several times a day. I keeps her busy. She will even sweep the counch or the kitchen table if you let her. My oldest daughter is going to be 34 years old this year and hasn't lived at home in 16 years. I spend as must time as I can with her. But it is never enough. She plans on coming home to live and take care of us in 7 years. I cant wait! It's my dream to have her home. She is a dear friend to me and we have a great relationship. she always tells me that I am her best friend.

A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.		2009-09-03 6:26 PM busy week It has been a very busy week.
