California Bound

Well I am heading to California Jan. 23rd and returning on the 26th. I am accompanying my grandmother to her sister Bessie's 90th birthday party. Mimi (what I call my grandmother) along with her sister Merle, are flying to California, along with myself and Alice, who is Aunt Merle's daughter, and suprising the birthday girl!! It will be nice to see everyone and I am looking forward to meeting some of my cousins for the very first time. Mimi is so excited and it touches my heart. She is already packing I think!

HAPPY 2009!!!

Well the new year started as usual with good intentions and I have already blown some of my good intentions! To back track a little, I had a great Christmas, all my kids and grandkids were here and it was nice to have everyone together at the same time (picture is of my grandkids that I had on my Christmas card). New Years Eve was uneventful...I don't think I stayed up past 9:00 p.m. so I didn't really ring in the New Year. New Years day is my son Travis's birthday as well as my granddaughter Addisyn. Its hard to believe "My Baby" turned 22 years old on Jan. 1st. I always cook a dinner for the birthday boy or girl and they choose the menu. Travis chose taco salad and cheesecake for dessert. I bought the cheesecake and taco salad is like the easiest thing in the world to make so I got lucky on that one. And of course New Years wouldn't be complete without New Years resolutions. I have started a diet....o.k. I do every year and totally blow it by the next week but can't a girl dream? Until my next blog entry......
