New Room

Well, it took 4 days to paint it, but it sure does look nice.
Now to get the floor taken care of. The carpet has a hole in it where I cut one so I could see if tile was under the carpet. It has some paint on it also for I wasn't very careful since I was getting rid of it.

I hung some things back up, and placed pictures on the shelves. They really do look nice. I can't wait to get the funiture back in and the curtins hung again.

Boy, I am really tired and the ball game is going to waste and me setting here. They only have one more game tomorrow until next year. The RANGERS that is.

The picture was taken a little while after I moved here in 1999. We will see a difference in the next picture when I am finished. :)

The old rocking chair was the one that my daddy always sat in. It is now in the living room.

Duane built the cedar chest for me and I was so proud of it. He also built one for Karen and Kimmie, but he didn't get one built for Kari, so I told her she could have mine. She is real proud of it. He also built a gossip bench out of cedar, that belongs to his other granddaughter, Elizabeth.

New Room

Well I have started on my quest to paint the little bedroom. It is empty now and I bought a can of paint. Now to just get started.

I love to paint, it is just getting it ready to paint and cleaning up after it is done.

Maybe I can get a picture when it is finished. :)

Long Ago

Darlene, I enjoyed your post about Braden, but I wanted to comment with a picture and did not know how. So I will just do a post here with the picture. Do you know who this is?

Denise was a Rebelett her senior year in high school. Wasn't she a doll?
The Rebelett was the drill team for William B. Travis High School in Austin. They were really good.

I think this Mamaw is not quite as high stepping now as she was then. :)

IT RAINED TODAY

While I was gone to a baby shower this afternoon, I got a 1/2 inch of rain. My yard really needed it and I am so glad for getting it. It was a great baby shower and rain shower. God Bless.

Yesterday I went to Grapevine with my daughter and the other grandmother to see one of my grandsons and his wife. They have moved into another home and we wanted to see the house and the kids. It was a beautiful day for a trip, but construction was a headache going through Dallas. My daughter had a few panic attacks, but with her son on the phone, he would say, Mom you are doing fine. Well they were not really panic attacks, just anxious to get there and the miles were long. :)

We saw some sights, had lunch and the little Mama went off to a baby shower her job was giving for her. The Grandson took us to see his school room where he teaches Art. This is his 4th. year there and he loves it.

We headed home, must not be late for a Sunday School Class party. The party was at six and she dropped the two grandma's at their homes and was just a few minutes late getting there.

It was really a funfilled day.

Good Morning

What a beautiful day here in Texas. It is in the upper sixties, and the sun is shinning. I wish I could just go out on the patio and sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. But alas, duty calls. A load of wash in the machine, the trash is out ready to be picked up around noon.

I still need to make my bed, but am dressed and ready to go to genealogy in a while. I can't hear the phone ring out there, so I am taking my phone to see if it will work, it will disturb the peace and quiet, but at least I will hear it ring. :)

I wish for you all a wonderful, glorious day.

TGIF

Another week has flown by.

It is Friday night and I have had a very good week.

I finally got my yard in order. The flowers need watering if it doesn't rain tonight.

Today I visited Kami at school. It was grandparents day and this gr-grandparent went along.

She was very proud to tell us that she was the leader today. She said that meant that she was first in line.
She pointed out all of the different things on the wall. Across the room hung every ones family tree.
Her tree held a picture of her and her mother. See the picture below.

She seemed so very proud of her school and that is good.

She found my phone head set and called her Ganny this afternoon. They talked for a while. Then she opted to take a nap instead of going to Walmart. So we both napped.

It was a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I forgot to post Kim's picture on her birthday.
This is my beautiful granddaughter Kim, on your right.
I am so very proud of her as I am sure she knows.

She is one of the three K's, Karen, Kami and Kim.

I will post the picture of them with their two pets.

Kim is a hair stylest. She keeps my hair curled and she
does a great job. I wish I could keep it as good as she does. :)

Love you kiddo. Mema
