Melt my heart....

My wonderful, gorgeous grandchildren. Some of them I almost had to hold in place to get pics with them. They don't always like having their picture made. I normally try to get one of all of us. But last night I decided on one with each of my babies. I am so happy that I got smiles from the two oldest boys because they don't normally smile for photos.

Garret, 20 years old.

Caleb, 15 years old.

Right is Alexis, 14 years old and left is Shelby, 10 years old.

Colby, 8 years old. And I just now realized when I posted this that the little turkey gave me bunny ears. LOL. 

Weekend wrap up

Backtracking to last week, I went to Shoney's with one of our riders who is helping in our department right now. She is such a sweetie and we had a great lunch of dessert. 

I found some new nail polish and I tried it out. I love this look. I think this is my favorite polish ever. 

I went for a quick trip to WV to see Mom. Got to spend time with my sister and oldest niece that first morning.

Later that day, one of my other nieces joined us. This is my sister and her two daughters, Christy and Amy.

They kept competing with each other to try to get me to save one of them was my favorite niece. But I'm a smart aunt. I just reminded them that they aren't my only nieces so I have no faves. I love them all to pieces.

Amy loves doing snapchat filters so I let her talk me into doing several with her. I really liked the one with me in pink hair. It's fun looking. 

We got to go out to eat dinner at Gino's Pub Friday night. One of my all time favorite pizza places.

The next morning, I went to Bob Evan's Restaurant for breakfast.

And had a late lunch at Stewart's hot dogs before heading home. All three place I ate are my favorites when I go in and we can't get any of them in Tennessee around my house.

As I was leaving, I took a side trip through downtown Huntington so I could stop by the Ohio River. We used to love going there for boat races, concerts, and fireworks.

My daughter gave me a cute little pink topiary tree so I put it on a little chest I have with some of my other pink stuff. I love how it looks. 

I am off work today, so I decided to create a little spring flower arrangement. I used one of the milk glass vases a friend gave me. It turned out great.

Been going through things I bought and stuff I had to get ready to decorate for Easter.

Going out to dinner tonight for my grandson's birthday. It's a great day.

Happy birthday to my first grandson

I want to wish my grandson, Garret, a very happy birthday today. Where has the time gone? How can he be turning 20 today? How did I get old enough to have a 20 year old grandchild? I am so proud of the fine young man he has become. So many wonderful memories of him coming over and spending the night. Happy birthday, Garret. I hope you have an amazing day.

Left is my son, and right is my grandson. 

Enjoyed my day off

Time to roll out of bed and get my good mood going. Ain't nothing going to bring me down today. Feeling a little sassy this morning. Drives me crazy though that this meme misspelled sass. LOL.

I trust everyone survived the time change and got all your clocks this weekend. I swear it took two days to reset my microwave. My 5 number on the key pad quit working and I refuse to buy a new one because of one number. However, every time I remembered to set it, the hour or the first number of the minutes was a 5. It took me till 8:48 last night to remember to do it. 

Did some bargain shopping at Hobby Lobby yesterday and took advantage of 40% off their Easter stuff and 40% spring stuff and 30% off fabric. I love the little rabbits I found for my Easter display on my bar.

This fabric for a new runner was just too stinking cute to pass up.

I found some petite eggs to use for a small wreath for my office.

I was looking for a small motivational sign for my desk. This one spoke to my heart. I love making people smile when they come to the show. This will be a constant reminder.

And the best part? All of the above was a little over $9.00 total. Not bad at all.

Hope everybody has a great day.

Miscellaneous Monday

Not a lot to report after working all weekend. I was going to take Friday as a day off but I ended up going in to work for a few hours to get ready for the big day we had Saturday. 

I saw this on Facebook and thought it would be so wonderful to have. Think I'll get more pillows for the day bed in the spare room to make into a reading nook.

After another week with pouring rain for several days in a row, I woke up to this on Sunday morning. At first I thought there was a UFO. Hadn't seen the sun in so long I didn't recognize it.

My oldest grandson, Garret, on the back row far right has a birthday coming up. I can't wait to get together with everybody. He will be 20. I am still in shock I have a grandchild turning 20. I'll have to get a new picture of me with the grands. This was on one of the birthdays last year, but they all have grown some more in the past year.

Just a little humor to leave you with to make you smile on this beautiful Monday. Robins are singing outside, the sun is out but behind the clouds. I hear a lawn mower running in the neighborhood. And I am heading to Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree. It's going to be a good day.

Songs that soothe my soul

Sometimes I like to listen to my favorite songs that just make me feel good.

What to wear, what to wear?

Woman struggle daily with one major problem in their life.....CLOTHING. What to wear, what to wear? I am blessed in the fact that my work outfit is a "uniform" of black pants and a red sweater with a black t-shirt under it. Spring it will become black pants with a royal blue polo. The only struggle I face five days a week is which pair of black pants to wear and if I want the short sleeve or the long sleeve black tee under the sweater. With our crazy weather it is a dilemma because it may say it will be in mid-high 60's but when there is thunder and rain it can get chilly.

So with 5 of my days being an easy decision you would think I would have a very clean closet because I don't need as many clothes. WRONG! When I have days off, go out in the evening or go to church on Sunday, I have WAY too many clothes to choose from. BUT I don't throw anything away because I might wear it some day. I had over 20 sweaters that are gorgeous. That's a lot to choose from. They are in great shape because I am very easy on my clothes. They always last a long time. So why do I alternate between my three favorite solids and two that a have pretty patterns. That's right. Twenty sweaters and I have went back and forth all winter with the same five. 

I think I need an intervention. Maybe I could hang those five in somebody else's closet so I am forced to wear something else. Maybe I should have a rule where I hang them up in an order and when I wash one it goes back to the back of the closet and I can't wear it again until it works it's way back to the front. I don't know what the answer is, but I really, really, really need to clean out my closet.
