Baby boys....

don't ya just want to kiss him all up....

I think that's why little boys go through a stage when they are

9 or 10 not wanting kisses...they got so many when they were babies...

kiss them baby feet...

they will be stinky boy feet too soon....

now isn't that a sweet sight.....

a little burp and we're good to go....

Wish I was here....

wish I was here...

unfortunately I'm not...

sitting at the hospital waiting for my Mom to have her surgery...

busy weekend...

great time with my beautiful grandson...

will be a busy week...

my father in laws caregiver is off for the week...

so that means we will be taking care of him this week...

and my Mom....thankgoodness for my kids...

they are pitching into help out..

another funeral to attend this week...

and we are in the 100's again this week..

which increase our business...and my work load...

so if I don't get to visit too much for the next

several weeks you will know why....

thank you for all your well wishes...

good news my daughters best friend had her baby girl last night...

Welcome to the world Kylie....

A little rain....

we had a little rain storm last night...

the ground soaked it right in...

cooled down a few degrees...

but the humidity went up...

Funeral services today for our beautiful lady...

then we get to keep our grandson over night...

hope everyone has a great weekend....

She really made my day....

Cheryl at Life is what you make it 

sent me this photo.. that she took....

she said she saw the ladybug and thought of me...

I don't know if everyone knows the story...

of why I'm ladybug from Texas....

so bare with me if you've already heard it...

I picked the name because of my Nana...

she always reminded me of a ladybug...

busy all the time...always looking so vibrant...

and beautiful...loved flowers...she passed

several years ago...so everytime I see a ladybug...

I think of Nana...I can be working in my

garden...and a ladybug will land on me...

and I feel like Nana is saying hey Debbie Doo...

I'm here watching over you...

so this week when Cheryl sent me the photo...

it felt like a sign...everythings okay Debbie Doo...

It's been a tough week loosing Mrs. Walker....

 and one of my husbands childhood friends told

us that his Mom was loosing her battle with MS...

that she could go any time now...

so you never know when a small jesture...

can really uplift someones spirits...

you might not even know why your

compelled to do something...

just follow your heart...

you might just be making someones day....

Thank you ....my blogging buddies...

soft shelled turtle..

I caught him a few weeks ago...

kinda creepy looking

on the river...

so peaceful...

unfortunately haven't been down to the river

in over a week....seems like life gets in the way sometimes...

but have been able to enjoy my grandson....

and spend time with friends and family....

My Mom goes in for major surgery on Monday...

for her right arm....she has been battling for over a year..

finally a Dr. listened to her....she has major

carpel tunnel...it extends to her elbow...

she will not be able to use her arm for 2 weeks for sure...

maybe longer..then extensive therapy on her hand...

hoping she will be able to get full use again...

please keep her in your prayers...

I know your prayers must have touched the Dr....

to make him listen....

You....my blogging buddies...are the best...

Thank you.....

We will miss you so....

Heaven has a new Angel...

she touched so many lives while here...

she leaves behind a husband of 50 years

3 beautiful daughters...

9 grandchildren...

and countless friends and families...

she fought a tough battle...

and now it's time for her to be pain free...

something she hasn't known for over 30 years...

We love you....

and you will be truly missed....

The good...the bad...and the ugly...Texas heat...

my Gerber Daisy....

in a little morning sunshine...

it is in shade the rest of the day...

that's the good...

these poor Zinnias just could not take the heat...

these are definately the ugly....

I think this is maize...probably from the bird seed last year..

it seems to be holding up well...

see what the Texas heat does to the grass...

my mid afternoon it's looking sad...

poor things...they are trying to stay strong...

even the pepper plants fade...

I soaked it last night and again this morning...

dry as a bone now...

this guy is getting quite the work out...

cool front tomorrow...

102....woo hoo....can't wait....

Proud Parents.....

Good Morning....glory....

My Nana used to say that...

I love that saying....

My daughter taught summer dance camp and 

 dance classes this summer...

at the end of each week they had a little show....

they did the 3 little pigs...

the boys were precious....

they did dances...

it is so great to see the potential....

and the dedication....and to know our daughter

has something to do with it...

makes us very proud parents...

enjoy the video.....

Just a swinging....

sitting on my swing....

this is what I see...

I need to water these plants...

hubby cooked chicken on our little grill...

need to put it all up....

the grass needs to be mowed again...

my sunflowers are starting to fade...

my morning glories give us a little more privacy...

when I'm sitting on the swing...

I notice everything that needs to be done...

then I end of getting up...

and doing...when I should be swinging and relaxing...

I have to really push myself to just sit there and relax..

these guys help....

petting the boys....

talking with the hubby....

the boys have their own blog...

stop by and visit if you have time....

do you have a hard time sitting....

or are you like me...you notice everything ...

that you should be doing???
