we went up to Michigan for Alex's grandparents day at his school. the first pic is of Alex and Shelby, then of Alex singing the first grader's part of the program, and the third pic is of Aaron and Janet.Oh yes, how could I have forgotten to mention that Jazz went on vacation with us??

 

 

 

music

I have always kind of marveled at how musical my grandkids are. Over the weekend, one of Larry's cousins passed away. it turns out Mildred, who never married and lived in Washington D.C. was a music copyright examiner at the Library of Congress, and had been active in music groups and did volunteer work at the Smithsonian. Who Knew? Well, I knew their aunt Sheryl played the sax and Grandpa Herman played the clarinet. Now I know the rest of the story.

well, finished the sweater last nite. haven't taken any photos yet. spent the morning with mojo. we made pretzels and he got to put the coarse salt on. he also ate the one with the most salt. tooooo cute. forgot to take picts of them too. allll gone........

 

today is my son's 39th birthday. wow does his son look like him, or what?? by the way my boy is on the right

 

I sent my sweetie off to North Carolina this morning. I will be missing him for a week while he is away working. i am also keeping Mojo tonite so maybe his mama will be able to sleep in......i may regret this, he is a very early (4 a.m.) riser. yikes!

 

Above is the wedding pictures of my In-laws.We lost Herman about 7 years ago and we lost Larry's mom, Alice, on Wednesday the sixth. We flew down on Sunday and there was a very nice service at her church on Monday and we buried her on Tuesday. Alice was a peach of a mother in law. She never told me what to do. She would simply tell me what or how she would do something and then if I did it differently (badly) she never said I told you so. She was a grand lady. And she will be missed. She was 81 and ready to go home. It is so much easier to watch them go when you know that they are going to heaven.

Sherry and Bill, (sister and brother in law) made all the arrangements and did a wonderful job. It was a very touching and beautiful service. And the Auburndale Community Church did a fine job ministering to us. They prepared a funeral service fit for a queen. If you are in that area, please attend the services there.

I will be having hip surgery on the 20th. I can't wait. I have decided to go with the epidural because I get so sick after general anesthesia. With all the tests and such, this next week will fly by and it will be over before i know it. pray for a quick recovery

Just a little sad
