Oh Debbie, what a wonderful birthday gift! Sometimes that Paul can surprise you can't he? Brightened up your day for sure..lovely flowers, now just watch the pictures get posted.. you know me, sure love photo's


Linda Kay, bet you loved every minute having the kids at the house, too bad they could not have stayed all weekend.

Susan, sure hope tomorrow you feel a bit better, likely you will be hobbling for awhile.


my day was especially nice, even had a tear fall...door opened and it was Noah, not JUST Noah but my Noah..we laughed and laughed..was so nice gabbing with him.

Told me that the last 3 weeks of school he did nothing but go to work for 3 hrs. after school, then to a tutor and worked till midnight, no time for anything else but got his report card, brought up his grades from mid 40's from his antics to an average of 65..know it's not spectacular but hey he didn't fail. Said he worked his butt off, of course being a grandma had to remind him if he did a bit of study from the start of the year he'd find it a lot easier.

Told me he got a $426 paycheck this week, saving for a dirt bike. Told him how proud I was of him..we talked a bit, he talked about the stress of his work, told him if it got too stressful then he should start looking for another job, didn't bite on that one lol...just so so nice. When he bent down (while I was standing he told me how much he must have grown, said 'wow grandma you sure are short!)

Not fond of his pocket cycle but he says he is careful..was heading home and said he'd call me when he got there so I wouldn't worry.

He even walked the gardens and said how pretty the flowers were..

ohhh last photo is of a phlox shortly to bloom..have them all over the garden, soon to explode in color, excited about that!
