My beautiful daughter in law, holding my great nephew Preston. Chad and Jennie are visiting from Iowa, I'm so excited to see them!!
Mom just got out of the hospital with heart problems, but is doing ok. I can't believe how frail she is looking now, I guess that's what happens when you're 84 .
Can you believe that beautiful shade trees have been uprooted for this!?
And this, which I would like to call "Viagra Malfunction"
And this? It looks like part of the space station plummeted to earth and empailed the sidewalk.
All I can say about this, is the orange looks pretty against the blue sky. And these are only a few. I'll be taking more pictures as I can, it's so hideous to me that these would be called culture, that we should "appreciate" it, and that it should bring people downtown to view the magnificent sculptures, thus bringing more business to its shops. Really!? Have they bumped their heads!? Maybe I'm behind the times, but I can truly say I appreciate art. And This just ain't it!
Ken, my sisters and I, just delivered this wedding cake. My last wedding cake. I won't be doing any more. I have said it before, but mean it this time. I no longer have the stamina to do one, as the time it consumes, the wear it puts on my feet and my mind, not to mention my nerves are more than I can handle now. Yes I am very pleased with how it turned out, but one mishap after another had me broken down in tears. Thank God my sisters came to the last minute rescue to help with the final details. I never would have made it without them. I will resort now to simpler things, like my embroidery and crazy quilting. Things that bring me joy, peace and rest. Creating little things for my friends and family out of love, not obligation. I guess I'm just to old for the rat race kind of things, and will enjoy my quieter life! For the rest of today, I'm going to an open house, and the fireworks tonight, kick back, and go Ahhhhhhh.....
My beautiful grandaughters are in town from Iowa, visiting their other grandma. Fortunately she just lives across the road from me! Kiley is on the left, Tara on the right. They're a couple of charmers with their parents sense of humor! My son Chad and daughter in law Jenny will be here next week. I can't wait!
Tara will be 15, and Kiley is 13. Growing so fast, and so beautiful! Another little charmer in our family is Kayla, my great niece. She was swimming in Robyn's pool last night when I came over. "Look Mimi" she said as she was showing her new swimming moves, "I can do the dog paddle." Then she turned over and started swimming and said, "and look! I can do the breast pump!" I almost peed myself!
Toby is getting much better also, after I get this wedding cake delivered Saturday morning, I'll be able to concentrate on taming them more. I read an article on line about taming wild cats, and all of the great suggestions you left, are in there! Thank-you everyone for you contributions to solving the taming issue, according to the article I'm right on target!
Then Lucy, got her head stuck in the empty cat food bag she took out of the waste basket. After running into everything, she just sat down and stayed there while I took pictures of her sorry self!
