I am Home….Memories of a very special time.

I had the most wonderful time. I am so proud of my Kayla, she is so sweet with little Annabelle. Little Annabelle is so amazing…of course don’t all Grandma’s say this about their Grandbabies. She loves to be kissed and kisses back, it is adorable. I hated to leave, We were together

only a few days, but the memories of having my girls all to myself will last a life time.

Thank you Grandpa Arney for missing me and letting me share this time with the girls.

Thank you Cory (my son) for the gift of flying me to be with Kayla on our Birthday and being with our new little baby girl.

And to Kayla for her love. I had a cozy loving, laughing,sharing magical time. PJ’s and long talks, Life is good.

And to my blogging friends who wished me to have a wonderful time. You are the best:)

Dad and Annabelle

Dolan is one happy Dad. I thought this was a really sweet picture of A new Dad and his baby girl.

Daddy's girl for sure!!!

I went shopping for Annabelle

  I had just to much fun, I bought things for Annabelle to grow into as well as things that could fit right now. Okay, so I went a little overboard, but it is for my little “Lotus Flower. I can hardly wait to give them all to her. Paris Hilton will have nothing on our little “Princess.” Wish me luck getting  it all bagged up….I will not be bringing a lot to wear.

I am getting ready for my Trip!

I bought a new red carry on bag yesterday and 5 new outfits for Annabelle…I am going to the store tomorrow also…I know that I will go look at more cute baby girl things…they are so cute.

Now all I have to do is pack my bags and get things done that will make Arney comfortable while I am gone & LB.

I hope when I get back home that I will be ready to be creative…I just haven’t done much of anything. I did make a couple of cards but forgot to take a picture of them…

You can tell it has been awhile since I went anywhere. This is a very good thing for me to do.

    Kayla and Annabelle, I’m coming. Dolan Annabelle’s Daddy is in the Army and will be gone to Australia for the month of July. So it will be just us girls.

       OXOXOX

World War One

 This is my Grandpa Stinnett. Denny B. Stinnett. He never talked about the war, at least not in front of his grandkids. Grandma said he wasn’t the same man after his time in the war. It was a inside battle.

His home in Oklahoma became part of the Dust Bowl era, he lost everything and took his family to California. He became a Share Cropper in the Valley of California and grew cotton.

This is just one man that gave his all for our freedom, a simple man that only wanted to farm and raise a few kids. He was proud to be a American. A man of few words, he worked hard for very little.

I love this man, he left me more than he could ever really know. He did so much with very little. I think he was very Brave!!!

         Have a great 4th of July!!!!!

Seattle or Bust!

I am making my maiden flight to Seattle Washington on the 10th. I will be using my carry on bag filled with things I will need on this most exciting adventure. Things like clean underwear, a lot of band aids in case of a bad landing, Pain killers, anxiety pills coming and going. “I will not be needing peanuts on this trip…a good shot of tequila might be needed before landing. I am very hopeful that the person who checks me for a bomb  or two will be gentle with me since this is my first maiden flight to Seattle. If you would happen to see me flying by, please send up a prayer or two, or a kind thought would be really good. Mom and baby Annabelle will be driving me to their house…keep this in mind, Kayla has had a few finder benders and I will be scared to death. And having a wonderful time:)  I have been on many flights, back and forth to California…I just wanted to be funny.

       

I call this picture, “Lotus Flower”

You are probably getting tired of my baby pictures, but I just had to share this one. Our Annabelle will be in my arms on my Birthday, a gift to me. I am flying, so it will be a nice trip. I will forever think of this picture as my little Lotus Flower. As you can see, she was not very happy about this picture taking moment, I just love it!

Summer is here! 

Kayla and Annabelle

 I thought when I posted this photo of my granddaughter and great granddaughter words would come pouring out of me. But I think this picture is worth a thousand words.

             I am blessed

Father’s Day is everyday

I was thinking early this morning about the life I had with my Dad.He was very young when I was born, and not ready to be a Dad, he was a dreamer, he believed in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.A throw of the dice and if he won he was the richest man for a day. He worked hard, but never understood what a budget looked like. Either you had money or you did not. He loved his family,and provided in ways that had very little to do with the day to day stuff. He loved to take us places, he loved to drive and eat at a old dinner. Dad loved to play, and you better be ready to go because when he said lets go we went now. He loved good food but had no use for a pantry in his home.

Dreamers are a lot of fun but it is very hard when they wake up to find that it was only a dream.

And I dream of my Dad!!!

I would like you to meet Annabelle, my Great Granddaughter.

Mother and father are doing well. Bella is my first Great Grandaughter. She lives in Washington so I will be making a trip very soon...

Dear Friends, I have tried to figure this out on my own, but I am just confused by it all. So if you can help me I would be forever grateful. I am unable to post on a lot of your blogs. I am also unable to post the normal way. When I click on publish post it will not do it until I go into edit post and then it will publish. Here is what I get when I try to do this, and the rest is beyond me also. I get this Javascript void 0...does anyone understand how to fix this. I went on help and I do not understand what it may be trying to tell me.

On my way to the post office

 

My first outing in along while was to send my granddaughters a little note. Along the way I saw the yard sale sign and my car stops for yard sale signs. I found this lamp and had to have it, the pictures do not really show it off well. I am going to do something fun with the shade when the mood hits me.  Happy hunting, it is that time of year. If it would just stop raining almost everyday.
