Well, I haven't posted in a long, long time. My grand-daughter Bekah is now posting her pictures (that she draws) and I so enjoyed looking at them, I thought I'd go & post on mine.
Well, I survived----as did Sherri----Noah's 11th Birthday party, which was a SURVIVOR Party!! We had 12 kiddos, 4+ hours and 12 challenges (some really hard) and 90+ heat. And we made it. Of course Sherri did & kids did all the hard work. I just showed up, and helped a little, but now that I'm officially an "old-lady" I get a pass, right? It was actually fun watching them do the challenges and the kids were from 7-15, and on evenly matched teams. Really fun. The winner---SURVIVOR---(name pulled out of a tiki-box to make it fair) won $1, and a T-shirt. Great fun had by all.
Now that the weather is in the 90's & so not my time of year, I may just sleep during the day (sometimes) & stay awake all night. Ha-ha. We didn't get any flowers planted in our flower beds yet, and even though it's really late, I think we will still plant a few. I want perenials (sp) & just don't know what to get. I like those yellow lily-looking plants with leaves that look like big grass, and need to find some other's that keep coming back. We have a gi-normous stump, and I mean like 3 feet or more across, that's actually hollow, & we plant flowers in it, and it's looks really cool.
I just read SHANGHAI GIRLS by Lisa See (she also wrote SNOWFLOWER & THE SECRET FAN) and I wasn't disappointed. It was really good. I so love a good book.
We had a great shoebox-card-swap at my friend Trish's last month, and it was so fun. It was great making all the cards and just talking, plus one of my friends whose name I won't mention (Suzanne) played a great trick on us all. Every time I think of it, it makes me laugh. Good Times!
Well, that's it for today. Have a great day/evening whoever reads this----& if you are reading this, it means you are someone special in my life. Cheers!

hey---I'm making a banner for your blog-- i think you'll like it--but I found another quote you might like:
"Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?" ~Winnie the Pooh
I put a different one on your banner but that one couldn't be wasted. . . . . . .ttyl!!
I agree with Bekah.. I think you should go with that quote.. too true too true. We DID have fun at the Survivor party. Now that is it over I am a little proud of myself that we pulled it off.. and a little exhausted too!. I am going to sleep now.. but I will send you more links to some other cool blogs and we will work on yours when next you visit. Love you!!
Love the new look. Very classy. Looks like "you". Sounds like a blast at the party. Sherri throws a wonderful shindig. Stay cool- if possible. Today was 100 and uber humid. Not my kind of weather either. Glad to be someone special in your life as you are in mine!
