As you all know David and Cheri are moving to North Carolina on Sat. and taking that soon to be baby girl. Now Tim and Jamie have sold their house and will be taking my three wonderful grandsons to North Carolina. So what's a mother and grandmother do??? Move to North Carolina too!! If anyone needs prayer it is me! I want to go but I am having a hard time thinking about leaving some place I have lived for 64yrs!! Please pray I have peace about this whole thing. Thanks!! I had fun taking care of Myles while the rest of the family went to Disneyland and stayed. He played in the water with the hose three different times on Monday. He was having a great time filling up a big tub and then climbing in it!! On Tues. Grandma Joyce came over and we went swimming. Myles swam a little bit but it was back to the hose for him. Tomorrow we leave for up north to visit my sister and brother. We are going to the Frog Jump Fair!! bye for now and thank you for your prayers.

Early Call

Got a 6:30 call this morning from one of the Monroe teachers who wasn't feeling well. Could I sub for her today? Sure, why not?!! Boy did I have to hussle to get ready. I even had to take the cover off the pool because it is cleaning day!! I made it and had fun as usual. It was teacher day at Monroe so they had a baked potato lunch for us. That was nice too! Tonight is dinner with the family and church. I enjoy this night very much. Bye for now!

I'm still alive!!

In March I turned 64yr. and my brain just turned off! I'm not sure what I've been up to now!! I know the family went to see the Lion King play and Oliver and Noah did a good job of sitting and listening!! I enjoyed being with the whole family. After the show we went to dinner a the Claim Jumper, yummy!! David and Cheri are moving to North Carolina in May a taking that little GIRL with them!! Yes, they are having a girl. I just can't believe it! Subbed in a class that went on a field trip to the Cabrillo Museum. That was a fun day. Have been having fun with My Wonderful Grandsons!! Always have fun with them. Yesterday they came over and we swam all day!! Grandma Joyce came to. All ways easier with two. Oliver has become a fish. He dives and paddles everywhere. He sure can keep up with his cousin Kevin in the pool. Oh, yes, we had Mother's day here with the Smith's and the Butcher's. That was fun. Friday we are going to Sea World. Tim is on vacation now so we get to do some fun things. I am blessed that they let me tag along! Well that's the update for now. I'm sure I did other things but their gone now!!

Surprise!!!

Hi, it's me again! I've just been so lazy I didn't want to take the time to write. That's what happens when you retire, you get lazy! I've been having some fun just stolling around in Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Buying plants and planting them. Watching it rain, rain and then rain some more, ugh!! I subbed in a 2nd. grade yesterday and today. Wow, 2nd grade is great! If I'd known about 2nd grade years ago I might have changed ( probably not!!) They can work independently for long periods of time!! Needless to say I had fun. As you know Jerry and I will be watching the 3 greatest grandkids in the world for four days while Tim and Jamie have some time together. Please pray for us during that time, thanks.

For Laura

This one is for Laura. She thinks I have died and gone to heaven because I don't write in my blog!! Life is slow for this retiree!! I like to read alot and walk around my garden and procrastinate about what I want to do! Then I go back and read! I did do some subbing the past few weeks. I subbed in a 6th grade science class. That was different for me. And I found out that 6th graders are rude!! They are not as nice as first graders!!! On that same day there was also a major earthquake drill. Now that was alot of fun to keep 35 6th graders under control. I will probably not do that again!!!!! I subbed in a spanish kinder class whose teacher also teaches 8th grade Spanish in Monroe's middle school. So there I was in middle school again! This was a very nice group of kids and they were very cooperative. I really enjoyed working with them! The kinder's kept telling me I wasn't doing it right. " That's not right, Mrs." It was cute. So now you are up to date on my goings on. It is Sunday so we just got back from breakfast with the kids, which is all ways a great start for a Sunday. I like Sundays because I get to see the grands in the morning and then again in the evening!! Now it is reading time and then I'm off to a friend's 60th birthday celebration. Bye for now.

Long Time

It has been so long since I have blogged blogger for got who I was! I had to reopen everything. So let me see, what has been happening? The 5 of you who read my blog already know about everything that's happening in my life. I had a wonderful Christmas with the T. Smith family staying all night so I got to have Christmas morning with the grands. What fun that was for me. We had a wonderful breakfast that Jamie fixed then the D. Smith's came and we opened gifts and played with the toys. The Butcher's came for lunch and we had this great tortilla soup that Jamie made. Then we all went to T and J's to see their new painted home. Wow, what a fun filled day. Before Christmas I had great fun watching the grands while everyone painted the new home. What a fantastic job you all did. Thank you for your help. We are so greatful to have such wonderful friends. And then the FLU hit. What a bummer!!! I'm not going to tell you about it because Tim already did a good job of that!! I'm just glad it is over. I was so tired of being cooped up in the house I went to work for fun in my friend Shelley's kindergarten class last Thurs. Then I subbed in a first grade on Friday. Monday was a holiday and I went to a movie with my friend Glenda. After the movie I took Glenda to see the Smith's home ( which she loved) and then I brought the kids home with me so mom and dad could do some shopping, ect. Today, Tues. I went to rubberband excercie class with Pat. We try to go every Tues. but Pat subs alot so don't all ways make it. Now I'm caught up!! Also want to tell all of you I love reading your bloggs so keep on blogging!!

In midstream!!

A few weeks ago my daughter-in-law Cheri and I bought and put up a cute little Christmas tree. I've been feeding that tree two big jars of water everyday. It just kept drinking it up! On Thurs. the family came for dinner and church like always but I was at a Christmas party with my Monroe friends. When I got home there were many decorations missing!!!! Well, while I was looking for them I was feeling under the tree, WET, WET, WET!!! It was sopping wet under the tree! Guess where all the water went for two weeks, ugh! In the morning I rushed over to Target and got a new strand and Jerry and I transferred the fully decorated tree from one stand to the other!! Yes, there was a crack in the old stand!! Lesson: check your stand for cracks each year!
