I'm A Grandma.....

Brandon and Tanya adopted a German Shepard mix puppy
a couple days ago.
I have a grand fur baby!


This is Lily ♥


She's such a little sweetheart.
But she's already had to go to the ER.
She was saying "hello" to their cat and
took a swipe to the eye,
which went through 2 of the 3 layers 
but the cornea is OK.
Just need to watch it and apply antibiotics
to it. 


She's a Daddy's Girl


Tanya's parents, brother and Tracy came over and we had a BBQ.


Cyndar wanted to play with Lily, but she's a little big..
besides Lily's eye she has stitches from being spayed.
Cyndar's excitement was just too enthusiastic.


Linda, (Tanya's Mom) and TJ danced up a storm!


Thank for BBQing Tanya!
Linda was singing for their music.


LOL
We had such a great time!


Bailey turns her back on Lily...
"don't tell me you're bringing another one home?"
No Bailey, she's just visiting :)


Lily chewing on her toy...


think shes pretending it's the cat who scratched her??


XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Also,
I received an award!
This one is from Maggie from The White Farm House.
Thank you Mags!!


OK
Now I have to list 7 things you don't know about me.

Let's see....

1. I can't swim. Believe me, I've tried. I think some people are just not meant to know how...My sister, who can't swim agrees, with me on this one! ;)

2.  My kids used to call me "Chyna of the Court", as in Chyna from wrestling and we live in a court.  When we moved into this house in 1994 there was no landscaping. I used  railroad ties and bricks from the farm to do the hardscaping. They couldn't believe how much I could lift and move. LOL

3. Easter is my favorite Holiday. Everything is new and fresh, like a new beginning and anything is possible.

4. I love to watch all the paranormal shows on TV.

5. The older I get the less I like to cook.
Can you have cooking burnout?

6. I've always wanted red hair,
ever since my sister put her red wig on me when I was little.
She had and still has a friend who has red hair and I love it...and her.

7. I can wiggle my ears!
Yep, I'm one talented lady! LOL 

There ya have it!

Now I need to choose 10 blogger to pass the award onto.

Faded Charm
Four Sisters in a Cottage
Linens Lace and Lattes
Rose Petals and Rust
Shirley Stitches.
Those Northern Skies.
My Vintage Mending
Last Dollar on a Dish
All in my Cottage
Treasures from the Heart Gifts

OK ladies, time to write a post with 7 things about you.
Then pass it on to 10 bloggers.



Have fun!

Next Time You're Bored....

Yeh, like we really have time to be bored!
Oh well, I came across these and
thought maybe some of you out there could use them.
You know I won't ;)

You can click on the pictures to make them larger.

Gourmet Napkin Folding




Origami Bear anyone...anyone?


It's Getting Closer!

They've been sent!


Lovin' the seal!


I love the invitations Tanya and Brandon picked out
for their wedding.
The way they unfold into a ribbon tied card of loveliness.
It's like a mini scrapbook with fun pockets holding all the necessities. 

It's just around the corner....

Yikes I need to get my shoes!

The BIG Five O !

Dawn's 50th Birthday was about a week away
so we celebrated here before she left :)
Woo look at the glow on that cake!!


Make a wish, take a deep breath and BLOW!


We were once again able to meet Dawn's Aunt Carole in Merced.
It's about mid way for both of us so it works out well.
We had lunch and had a great visit.
I always look forward to seeing Aunt Carole when Dawn visits,
she's such a sweet lady.
This was the first time Becci and the kids met Aunt Carole,
which made it a special get together.


Before they left Becci decided she wanted a tattoo.
So who do you call?
Tracy!
She decided on a tree frog for her left shoulder.
Isn't it caute!


We had a great time, like we always do.
Miss you Dawn!
XOXOXO

A Long Overdo Thank You!

About a month or so ago I won a giveaway from
Tracy Suzanne from Cotton Pickin Cute.
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't properly thanked her yet.
Yes, my mind has turned to mush lately.
But I want to say

Thank you so much!

It happened to arrive on a particularly down day.
Let me just say you can't be down for very long
when you receive a big box of such lovelies!! 


This little gal I will be wearing on Easter!!

Beautiful tablecloth too!


Embroidered Dresser Scarves and even an old old Hymnal

Thank you so much for such a generous giveaway Tracy Suzanne!!

You made my day!
I had a grin....

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my Mother's birthday.
She was born in 1919 and passed in 2001.
Wasn't she pretty?


I still miss her everyday.


She was Queen of the Holy Ghost Festa one year.


Dad and Mom in later years.

Happy Birthday Mom!
