Picasa Post

I downloaded Picasa2 earlier tonight. It catalogued all my photos--even the ones on my external hard drive! So far, I love it. This post is using Picasa! Check out the moon--yes, it's the moon--picture I got one night on my way home from Auburn. This is short and sweet because I am really tired tonight. My obstructive sleep apnea is robbing me of a lot of sleep lately. I am going back to the sleep study center on September 9th for re-evaluation. Catch you later.

Matt's Birthday

Last Saturday was my grandson's 11th birthday. He's been racing in motorcycle hare scrambles since he was five years old. He has taken first place for the season in his class twice so far. I think he does really well, but he never thinks he's good unless he comes in first. Anyway, I have no idea why he wanted a pocket rocket for his birthday since it seems pretty tame to me to what he's used to. His riding spaces are very limited on the pocket rocket since it is only supposed to be ridden on asphalt and that does not include the public roads. Oh well, what do I know. I'm getting close to sixity years old, after all!
My grandchildren's cousins have a new dog named Otis. I guess since those children also call me grandma, Otis must be another "granddoggie" of mine!

Memories -- and Making Memories

I have been lax in posting; but I don't need to tell you that! I've been busy going to birthday parties and my family reunion; babysitting the granddaughter (Kelly) of a friend of mine and also my great niece (Hayleigh). In fact, I had both of them this afternoon. It was their first meeting and it went well for the most part. (I hope I can look back someday and say that was the beginning of a lifelong friendship for them.) Kelly was like a little mother to Hayleigh (she's a month older than Hayleigh; they'll both be turning two years in two and three months, respectively), but Hayleigh is too independent and didn't always take that kindly to being mothered! They were fun, but I sure am glad its not a full-time gig!






Tonight I have been looking through my digital files and thought I'd share some with you. These are two of my granddoggies: Clifford and Chester.











This is a picture I created with a sunflower picture taken about six or seven years ago and one of my grandchildren that I took last summer at Stewart Park.



This was a couple years ago in my back yard (my lawn kind of turned into a meadow) then (as it is now--again). My granddaughter, Jaden.

I believe this was the cake from Elaine's "Maunnnnnument Party".

This was one of my late husband's (wow, it still feels weird to write of him using that term) sunflower plants.

These pictures were taken in October of 2001. My friends, Bonnie, Elaine, Cindi, and I had a lot of fun checking out the botanical gardens in Buffalo, NY.
