I am a Grandmother

Parker

What a wonderful gift to be thankful for on Thanksgiving.

Since my son is in Afghanistan.....I am thankful that he was able to be in the delivery room yesterday via Skype....

for the birth of his baby!

baby was minutes old

The technology is fantastic.....it is a thrill seeing pictures of him til I get to go hold him next month.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Getting Unstuck

The other day I was simply backing up to the mailbox to check the mail....in this car.

Uh oh I did not realize when I drove into the fresh loose gravel....that it was so thick.....so I was spinning in it like snow or mud.

I got out of the car easily to see that all I needed to do was to drive forward and stop spinning in reverse....which was an easy fix for the problem.

What I am so thankful for is that I could open the door of the car and stand sorta stable.

when it used to be a long process to unload from my handicap van (pictured above).....and I was unable to stand wobbly back then.

Just feeling Thankful for the small stuff!

Broken Chains

My horse dog is laying here asleep sweetly....on his bed...

with a piece of his dog-run chain from outdoors still on him.

and we used to think that the chain was impossible to break.

I guess he is showing us that chains are made to be broken!

Going to a Wedding

 

I went to my niece, Ashley's beautiful wedding this past weekend.

This photo is my favorite.......love the look on his face!

this photo was possible since it was an evening wedding.

I really enjoyed all the festivities with my family!

At the dawning of each new day
