THE UNUSUAL BIRTHDAY GIFT!!!!


Well to many this may seem like an odd Birthday gift, but for me it was GREAT!!!!! I have been buying China Lily soya sauce for as long as I have been buying my own groceries...............A VERY LONG TIME!!!!! Well suddenly in the last year I couldn't find it ANYWHERE, oh NO!!!!! My SIL knew of my dilemma, and that I was on the hunt for it.............hence look what she found me for my Birthday! Yep, my favorite soya sauce! Well I am happy to say that it is now back in the stores, and I have yet to find out what the time laps was all about..........in the meantime I am a HAPPY CHINA LILY user once again!!!!!! Thanks Lori!

I'm such a BAD blogging friend!

I visit quite a few blogs, and am such a LURKER! Very rarely do I take the time to post, I am such a bad blogging friend! Sorry ladies! If you are visiting my blog please know that I probably often visit yours, and very much enjoy everything I see/read/hear. I promise I will make an better effort to keep in touch by posting a response!!

another birthday............

4? (you'll never know)

Last week I celebrated another BIRTHDAY! It was kind of an odd day, but in the end it was great!!!!!
The day started out by taking little Missy back to her Mom(we meet half way of a 2-1/2 hour drive).
Next I attended a funeral for a lady(43)that was in the same grade as my brother, very sad, she died the day of her 43rd birthday in a single vehicle accident. Her parents and grandparents have been family friends for as long as I can remember. I seen many people I hadn't seen in a very long time. Some I never even recognized, so I guess that is a LONG TIME!!! Sadly we don't very often get to see dear OLD family friends unless we attend a funeral.......this is sad in itself, but it is true!
Next we had DQ ice cream cake, gotta LOVE that! The 3 teenage boys, and my parents started singing.........the boys never had any intentions of singing(they just wanted the cake), Gram was busy trying to take pictures, so I think Pa was the only one REALLY singing, he sounded GREAT!
Next.....one of my cousins and her now 18 year old daughter were visiting her Mom, and a few of her family were going out to the local pub, so Mom and I decided to join them! We got to my Aunt's at about 8:30, visited there for about 45 minutes, then headed to the GLENDON BAR! The night was short & sweet as we were back at Mom's by 11:30, but man did I ever laugh in that 3 hours! There was an old fart in the bar(I guess he practically lives there) and we were teasing Auntie Teresa(she is in her early 70's)that we were going to line her up with this guy...........I still laugh when I think of the look on her face(her famous LOOK)!!!!! She didn't think it was as funny as the rest of us did, but she was such a good sport about it all......thanks for the FUN Auntie!!!!

Natasha's Spring visit to the farm.........fun filled!!!!!

Well the time has come for Grandma & Natasha to head to the country.........I have been wanting to take her out there for a while, and it seems the timing wasn't ever right for one reason or another! We had so much fun, and Natasha got to spend quite a bit of time with Gace(what she calls my Mom(her GreatGrandma), it won't be long and she will be able to say Great-Grandma Grace). They both had a great time together!

As usual our visits are jammed packed with activity.........no dull moments!


Is there anything cuter than BABY anything..............these little ducks(& geese) gave us quite a bit of entertainment. I think I had the most fun........watching all the fun!!!!! Emily & Natasha had a lot of fun bathing with these little swimmers....Uncle Daryl said, "bathing with a rubber duck just won't cut it anymore"!!!!


Believe it or not......this picture was taken just before midnight........bad Grandma letting her stay up so late, huge NO, NO, I know!!!!!


Pet the donkey.....okay.......


Kiss the donkey.........I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!

The next time we visit there will be baby sheep, a donkey, and a colt! I can't wait!!!!!
