GOD IS GOOD!

A Big thank you to all who have been praying for my dad's surgery! All went very well to day and it looks as though they were able to get all the cancer cells!! Praise God!! It is 11:33 pm and we got home one hour ago and just finished Supper and are heading to bed but I wanted to make sure everyone knew how thankful I was for your prayers and thoughts and well wishes! GOD is so Good and I know He listens!

I made it to S.C.

With some delayed planes and lost luggage but I am here! Britton my sweet grandson wants to say hi to everyone!!! Britton and his mommy are reading a book!

Fall in N.Y.

Well the leaves are turning and the hill behind our new house is OUTSTANDING! What a beautiful view we have! Even the view of the empty house to the west of our house is beautiful! Nothing is prettier then N.Y. in the fall!! Happy Fall!

Swimming in OCTOBER in N.Y.

My husband wanted to make sure we had proof that we auctually swam in our pool on October 11th. So here are the pictures.
The solar panels work well to heat the pool but the indian summer we were having helped too but as you can see it was still to cold for me! The water temp. was 76 degrees! I still say "LET'S Get a Hot tub dear for the cooler months!!!!"

ISN'T IT GRAND?

When you love someone from the bottom of your heart and they love you right back from the bottom of their heart!!! Well that is the way it is with my grandson Noah! I know he loves me and he know I love him! I know that if anything ever happen to me, he would know that I loved him and he would always remember me! That is very important to me!!

He holds a special spot in my heart!! So does his brother and my other grandson Britton but today is about Noah!

Britton is coming for Thanksgiving,I hope to make sure when he is here that week that I at least work on making him remember me!(Britton lives in S.C. not very close to me so I don't see him much!!!)

'Fishin'

Thought I better show you that yes I do still scrap!!! Hoping this motivates Maria to send more photos!! I recently got some great photos of Jason and Noah to do to! Also lots of moving photos!

This is my grandson Britton! One day on the phone he was singing "going fishin' so I just had to name this layout "fishin" I am so thankful for the photos his mom sends me since I rarely get to see him! I am looking forward to him coming to see me real soon!!

Well I did some more unpacking!

But I did not take any photos! I have been looking at curtains!! Has anyone priced curtains lately??? Use to be that you bought them as a pair, now they only come as panels and they are crazy!! It cost more to buy the curtains then to carpet!! I think I will take up sewing again!

Okay I guess I am going to have to make a game up!

starting today I am going to take a picture and share something fun or unusual I unpack so maybe it will make the unpacking a challenge!!

So stay tuned!!!

Home at LAST!!!!!!

Last Monday September 17th we closed on our New Home back in New York! We are once again Home in N.Y. ( although prayers are still welcome for the Mn. home to sell!!!!!)

UGH!!! Dates got changed!!

Our closing is now September 14th! the big date right now though is this coming friday! that is inspection day~~ oh and by the way the house in Mn. still has not sold! but that is because we goofed on real estate agents~ He has open houses with the wrong address or does not advertise at all and our house is off the beat and track~~ EEK~ pray for us please!!!

7 Random Facts or Habits!!

I was tagged by denean!

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. I went to college and I have a degree in Nursing.

2. I am a procrastinator & work better under pressure. (stole that one from Denean, who stole it from Shannon but it totally fits me!)

3. I so miss seeing my grandchildren!

4. I never in my life thought I would be able to paint the way I am able to!

5. I am a huge ice cream fiend!

6. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who lie and hurt other people.

7. My dream is to own a shop teaching painting and scrapbooking.

My Daughter!

Well I am on to week 3 of the spring fling contest! I am so busy with house stuff and two contest that I have no time to scrap anything else! I am glad that Lucy from Memories from Scrap let's us put the layouts on our blog!

Yesterday Marie called me and I got to hear Little Britton sing twinkle twinkle little star, happy birthday and deep and wide! It was so great! I had goose bumps and of course tears in my eyes! I just wanted to reach through the phone and hug that little guy! I wish so much that we lived closer! Sometimes life seems so strange, families so far apart, but then God has a plan and I have to trust that He knows what He is doing, even though I would like to tell him sometimes that I would like to change his plan! LOL!

JUST DUCKY

This is the layout I did for the 2nd week of the contest of Memories from Scrap! I made it to week three first of all! This is my sweet little grandson Britton!! Isn't he just Ducky!!

Oh by the way the packing is going slow and the realtor comes friday so remember me in your prayers cause it is rough on this body!!
