The lovely times I enjoyed with my Grannie are memories I will forever cherish. Hello presents came with her every visit along with the exciting suitcase unpacking game. We found gummy bears and other treats as we unpacked her belongings for our visit. I ALWAYS wanted her to stay in my room...because to "give up" your room for Grannie was a "sacrifice "rewarded with extra gummy bears. The German kind...the Best! Grannie also had the Very Best jelly beans...Jelly Belly! Divine treats! :)
I remember cleaning my room to secretly earn cash from Grannie for my coveted purple BMX bike....dirt bike....and I earned it ....that was hard work! I was like 8yrs old. :) When I earned good marks on my report card...the rewards were double cause parents AND grannies like good marks...so I got good marks! It is also very important to mention our trips to Mrs Qweny...Grannies hairdresser and manicureist. Decisions like the haircut in this pic....my very first Shorty cut...were the results. Dad was in Germany and Mommy had gone to get her hair done...I persuaded Grannie and got my haircut. Mommy was mortified and Dad had a cow while I was in heaven! :) Grannies know exactly what girls need. ALWAYS! Her favorite haunt was Red Lobster....and I went with her every visit....and got our favorite...popcorn shrimp...and a virgin Shirley Temple. I still love cherrys to this day and so does Perry...my youngest baby...named for her and the family. :) Summers with Grannie always included visits to her cabin Grandaddy and the Uncle's built at Lake Martin. I learned to swim,dive,search underwater, ski, slalom, hike, treat poison ivy, cook smores, and scores of other things there. My uncle's were very helpful in my lake education ...:) that's all I'm saying about that...and a certain styrofoam surfboard will not be mentioned. Lol
Memories will not fade as long as I continue to remember. :0)
Perry has sure grown up quickly. He is lovin' kindergarten ...rides his bike...and lost his top front left tooth tonight when he Finally agreed to let me pull it.
He tends to panic when he thinks he will hurt or see blood (just like his cousin...Jazmine...blood and those two aren't a pleasant combination lol). He held it together while I quickly reached in and pulled it out. He immediately paled and felt where the tooth had been...slightly shocked at the feeling then s l o w l y smiled... :0). That's my boy!!! He got a dollar and plans to go to Dollar Tree for a special treat. ;)
He has only asked to see the disconnected tooth twice...its a curiosity to him. His question was why does it have a hole on top? I said for it the connect to the gums...and now it isn't needed so there's a hole ....next question was ...will my big teeth have holes...we laughed and I said only if you don't brush them and cavities get bad ...lol.
Ugh! I do not like to clean....but I like the end results and I cannot abide what our home would look like if I didn't clean so...ugh! Lol.
I am thankful my family all help. Doug is a Huge help...In many ways...I am so blessed to have him. There is no way he will read this so u can forget me saying this only to "score brownie points". I wouldn't have to anyway cause he is amazing. Yes he gets aggravating a lot...don't we all? :0)
Sister my darling baby girl...is amazing. She helps out with EVERYTHING! I couldn't make it without her.
Bubba is helpful...when he wants to be
..lol!
Perry is hilarious! He can clean way more effectively than his older bro! He loves to help and loves to show Sha how to help. Lol
Sha loves to help. She will gladly wipe down cabinets ...dust...just Not pick up toys unless she wants to...lol!
They all have characteristics like their parents and her aunt...hilarious! Lil munchkins learn what they see...and quickly! I wanna teach them with wisdom...mercy...and grace. :)
Wouldn't it be nice to have a fairy godmother? Stay with me here...I'm thinking wish upon a star and lets go fly a kite!! LOL!
In reality I am truly thankful God isn't a fairytale...and not a more faithful companion would I find!
Days on this ol planet are getting tiresome and deeply troublesome. We are to march on til the trumpet sounds...and yet I cannot wait to FLY AWAY!!! :)
I luv funny faces and thank the Lord my family does also cuz we sure had a blast with my app on my phone. Lol
Sister will be happy to know she missed out on this photo shoot and upload to blog...no fear...ill get her my sweetys...and her little dog too!!! Lol
