Tom's first blooms 2010

Tom has been working like a madman outside. I thought he was crazy. He has been ripping up stuff that is growing well (he said it is growing too much) and has decided to put in flowers. These are his first blooms. They are happy, aren't they?

Looking at the Great Grandchilden

Today is Big Grandma's 89th birthday. Brice posted great photos of his crew on his facebook and thanks to my Iphone (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE) I was able to share the photos with Sylvia. Here she is seeing them. I don't know if she is more pleased with the kids or my iphone. I wonder?

Big Grandma

Wanted to post a photo of Sylvia so everyone could have a visual of how she is doing. Yesterday Dr Marks said she probably will stay in hospital though the weekend, however taking things day by day. They are treating the pneumonia and trying to figure out why she fell in the first place. Most likely will go to a rehab for a while.
I doubt she will be able to stay independently in her sweet little home again---but we all know how stubborn she can be....
Hope this helps to rest some worries.

Boo and Sonny

These dogs are just the sweetest things! We have the "Pack Walk" down!!!! Still having some potty training issues, but they are so much fun.

A New-ish Experience

Well I went to Austin to see a concert with Kristen and her friend Danielle. I felt so young and hip and we had such a good time. Taking a little road trip, having lots of laughs and getting the benefit of these girl's experience was great. Last night was their 3rd concert in a row. Friday was in Oklahoma City, then Saturday in Houston (they did have off Sunday night) then last night in Austin. Tonight they will be in Dallas, the last of their wild concert going for the year. Danielle has to get up pre-dawn on Wednesday and drive back to Arkansas for an 11 a.m. class! My, what the young can do.
Forgot to tell you, we saw/heard John Mayer.

Lazy Day
sortta
Weird Day
for sure.
Tom and I just got back from Florida. (To see his dad and Mary. This is a trip that has its own special concerns, but it was totally the right thing to do and the right time to do it...)
But we just got back. We had to leave at the crack of dawn (before 6 a.m. Florida time), drive over an hour to get to the airport in Tampa, then catch a flight, transfer in Houston then get here. So we got her, had our Mexican food fix, then got home. Still lots of time left in the day to get stuff done---that is if you are anyone else but me. I can't get up to speed.
I did check my emails, caught up on the American Idol news that I missed, wrote down the 3 books I read while I was gone, and started the laundry.
Now I don't want to do anything except put on my p.j.s and watch t.v (or sleep until tomorrow starts)
Hohum.
Not so much of a late start gal....Tom is outside working in the yard, planting flowers, getting dirty, having fun.
I am being a slug...inside....
oh yes, worse part
we are home but no puppies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Our flight arrived at 11:55 a.m. and the kennel closes at noon! So it will be another whole day, until 4 p.m. tomorrow till w can get them. ugggggggggggg I miss my puppies...........
Do you feel my weirdness?

Paradise

This is the view from the patio at our second hotel in Hawaii. This is where I propped my feet, read my book(s), and drank my Mai Tai.
What a life.
