Springtime

What a beautiful end of winter & spring we have been enjoying.  70 degree weather sunshine, flowers budding this is usually what we see in May, but alas it will end tomorrow morning it is supposed to dip down to the 20's, I guess I will be covering some flowers!  have a nice say celebrating Ryan's birthday yesterday, I can't believe he is 21. I am so very proud of my handsome young man!  Skylar just finished up playing the role of Queenie in Honk the Musical, it was a cute show, now getting ready for Prom, Show Choir Concert, MTE show & West of Broadway, busy busy girl!  Have been helping out with Lil Jeffery about once a week, boy is he a workout!  Enjoy every minute of it though.  Still miss my Sweet little Granny every day, still can't believe she is gone.  Happy Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loss of My Sweet Granny

I am writing with a heavy heart. On Sunday, January 15th our sweet little earth angel Granny went to heaven to be an Angel.  Thankfully she went very peacefully in her sleep.  Skylar & I had a nice visit with her on Saturday, I fixed her hair and we laughed a little and the last thing we said to one another a "I Love You", when my Dad called Sunday morning about 6am and told me that Granny had passed I was shocked.  she in the past has been so sick and had so many surgeries and those were the times when we thought we would lose her but she always came fighting back.  I am still in a bit of shock.  My sister, brother , kids, nieces & nephews had the BEST GRANNY ever, she was the most fun little lady to be around and her home was always as open and loving as her heart was.  I just can't imagine a life without my Granny in it!  Rest in Peace Pollyanna King Stottlemeyer, I love you forever!

December

Christmas time is here~  House is decorated, need to do some baking & wrapping.  I am looking forward to spending time with my loved ones.  have had some friends with big losses of late and my heart goes out to them.  I am so very thankful for my family as crazy as it is I still have them all and love each one!

Fall 2011

Fall's splendor is all around us. the paths through the woods are covered with brilliant yellow leaves that have drifted from the sky, while the ferns are a golden hue of yellow & rust. Autumn glory Festival is this weekend in Oakland and it will be a chilly 52 degrees which will be fine if it doesn't rain. Skylar has been to Homecoming & is now in one of the lead roles in the play Wiley & the Hairy Man. I am hopeful for a nice weekend with family & Autumn fun!
