Hello Everyone!

So sorry for being away so long but I’m having a hard time with pictures loading and then not finding them, it is just not like Windows 7 and I

do get discouraged, plus I have to wait for Chris to stop by like he did this morning and I know he just cringes

when I ask him to try and fix it!

It’s football season here again, I’m not talking about the Steelers but highschool football, my son coaches, so every Friday we and the

whole family it seems sit in the bleachers and cheer him on, so far he has won every game! The picture below is of

Alex, coaches daughter, Samantha holding Nicholas, I’m using my iphone to take pictures because my camera is not working right!

After the game, talking to the reporter for the newspaper!

This summer I noticed my hair, after the operation, looking bad (all those meds) so I had Renee, my

hairdresser, do me in my natural color with a little bit of blonde feathering on the bottom.

Here I am with my oldest granddaughter Sydney,school shopping in August, I can’t believe

she is going to be 14 this year.

I’ve also been watching Nicholas on Thursday’s, he goes to Pre-School

but is off on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s! He has fake glasses on here

and he held the puzzle up so you could see how he put it together.

This is my grandog she is so adorable and I sure love her so much… her paws

crack me up, they look like mittens to me!

I’ll be back tomorrow and show you some of my fall and yes, I did put out a little, tiny bit of Halloween decorations,

I figure I may as well do it all so that I don’t have to get it from the basement twice!

Have a wonderful week ahead!

What I’ve been Up To and My New Ride!

Hi friends! I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying the rest of this summer,

I can’t believe it’s August already and reading blogs have found that some kids

are going back to school already.

I’m trying to enjoy these last weeks too but to say this hasn’t been the best

summer of my life is so very true!

As you know I was discharged from the hospital the beginning of May having

a perforated gallbladder, well last week I rammed head on into a car in front

of me

that had stopped to turn left, I took my eyes off the road for two seconds and

that’s all it took to total my white car! I was taken by ambulance to the same

hospital, I was laying there thinking “I can’t believe I’m here again” oh, and did

I say that I had my granddaughter, Samantha in the car with me? She was fine,

thank God the air bag didn’t go off on the passenger side because she doesn’t weigh

a lot. Yes, every Grammy’s nightmare, we are both bruised from the seat belts and

my right arm was cut and bruised from the air bag, but we are both alive and okay.

We had a rental car… then yesterday we bought this car a Ford Escape which we both

really like, I haven’t driven it yet though…still nervous I guess! Anyway, that’s why I

haven’t been back to blogging and also computer issues, learning how to do everything

on this new laptop with Windows 8 and soon Window 10!

So I think I’ll just randomly share some pictures that I’ve taken over this period of

not being able to blog regularly.

Sorry about the iphone picture of my Hydrangea but I’m so happy with it,

to have it bloom so fast is just amazing to me:)

Shopping at Kohl’s… I did buy the blue ceramic basket!

I shared this Pyrex casserole dish on instagram and a very nice lady who collects Pyrex said

it is called snow garland. It is my son in laws late mothers! After I poked around

more I found a glass lid for it and a smaller version of this one with lid, I

think it is such a pretty blue. I

I have been playing around a bit with my livingroom and actually took all the colored

pillows out and had the room very neutral

But…it just isn’t me, I need color although I do adore the whites/neutrals and you

ladies that have it do it so well. I even moved my little, wood ladder by the sofa for

an end table. I still have it here and seeing if I still like… so far so good!

Well, friends this post has taken me so long to do, learning this tech stuff is so tiring…

my brain is fried with it. I’ll keep on trying though because I’m missing all of you so

much.

A Little Bit of This and That

I’ve had this post saved and just have been busy so I’m going to go ahead and hit publish it without any changes to it, hope

you don’t mind! I don’t have to much to do on my project it’s just getting the time to do it!

Hi everyone, it’s been a busy month for me and probably for you too!

Thanksgiving is next week,our 21# turkey is in the fridge thawing out for

the big day. Until then I’ve been trying not to get overwhelmed/stressed out… just

trying to enjoy the days whether they are spent Christmas shopping or just being at

home. I usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas

but was getting my fall dishes out of the cabinet when I found these Williams Sonoma

mugs I had found at Goodwill a couple years ago and decided to enjoy them now

I also decided to move my cookbooks from above the fridge to up above my

stove and I couldn’t resist putting a faux poinsettia up there too. Once I put the

lighted garland up there it will really look nice!

I have most everything out just waiting to be put in their special places…things

from Target, TJMaxx and Walmart! I’ll get it all put together right after turkey

day, it’s so hard to wait when I see all the great inspiration out there in blogland

and on instagram!

My oldest grandchild Sydney turned 13 this past week… I can’t believe it! We celebrated by

having her friends and family at the bowling alley to bowl and have pizza! I’m so proud

of her she does so well in school and sports.

Here are her friends , they had such a good time, and it was fun for me just

to sit back and watch Sydney have such a good time!

My Fridays have been taken up by football, my oldest son coaches a highschool team

and they made it to the semi finals , here he is talking to a reporter. I will say that I

froze at every game that we played lately, I don’t do cold very well! Well, the

game before we would play at Heinz Field we lost, he did such an incredible job

with those kids. No matter how old your kids get your heart still hurts when they

hurt!

I’m glad I’m caught up now, I’m decorating for Christmas and I’ll be taking pictures

for you to see!

Yardsale, Boating and Swimming

Did you ever go to an amazing yardsale? I did a few weeks ago, everything priced right

and new…you see the lady who had the sale was a manager of Penny’s and when the

Penny’s closed where she worked everything was on sell super cheap. I guess she bought a lot

because everything had a price tag still on it. I do wish I would have bought the lantern

type candle holders in the front there but I didn’t=)

I bought to much jewelry but the price was to fantastic to pass up!

Now the clothes were a dollar a piece a lot of small sizes but I managed to find

a few that fit and was thrilled when I found one item that I’ve looked for all last

winter…I’ll show you in my next post.

I’ve been wanting one of these for Buster for a while now but didn’t want to pay

the price for one. I bought it for $5.00, couldn’t believe it, still in great condition!

Buster can eat comfortably now, it also cut down on a lot of mess from the dog

bowls.

She also had a duck, not for sale though, he was swimming in a kiddy pool.

The lady said he was going to a farm that weekend because it was getting

to be to much.

We have also been boating a lot this summer, last Sunday we were on the water all day,

the weather was beautiful.

Also had a great 4th of July this year, all my kids were here and the grandkids

for the holiday. My oldest grandchild Sydney, she has had the braces on for

over a month!

This one is so much fun, he isn’t afraid of anything! He loves the water and loves to

jump in even off the diving board, here he is with his mom and dad.

I’ve been babysitting a lot so far, here he is going down the slide as

you can see he loves Batman

Well, that’s what I’ve been doing since my last post, as I said before I promised myself

that I would enjoy this summer, the grands are growing up so fast and I do want to

be with them.

Alex Sings at the Hard Rock Cafe

Monday evening Stush and I went to see our granddaughter Alexandra sing and play keyboard at the Hard Rock Cafe , Station Square! Here she is…

She sang a song from the movie Les Miserables and I wish I would have got more pictures of her but I wanted to enjoy the moment with her. To be just 9 years old and have the self confidence to get up on stage to me is an accomplishment in itself!

Alex takes voice and piano lessons…

She was the youngest participant to perform that night.
This young lady sang a Shania Twain song and was very good at it!

He played the drums. All of the students were good and entertaining and the place was packed!

Alex and Nicholas with dad!

With mom too!

Thanks Alex for giving us such a nice evening and watching you soar!

Samantha’s Day

^{It has taken me since Friday to do this post!}
Do you find your days getting busier and busier since the weather is getting warmer and I must say prettier? Mine are… every weekend is either shopping (for a dress for the wedding, wish I would find one already, I found shoes that are dressy but comfortable which is really rare so now I have to find a dress to match the shoes!!!) or parties for communions or graduations or wedding showers! This weekend is shopping and a communion party for my great nephew! Really crazy! Last weekend was Samantha’s first Holy Communion…plus her 8th birthday but we celebrated her birthday the week before…see how crazy!
