Loving my Grandson Visit

My son flew in with my grandson.....this weekend

 The above picture from last winter.......shows how he has grown in the pics below...

This time he was moving the same bench around!

What a cute mess he was making! Haha

It is nothing much to blog about.....except it makes my heart smile!

Healthier Eating

This picture of my grandson digging into his one year old birthday cake....last year.....is a good example of how my whole family loves sugar!

Which brings me to my sisters big potluck dinner......After all the fun of seeing each other and eating too much.....

Someone says "where's the desert?"  Uh oh No one brought desert!! 

A Monumental moment for us.....I cannot remember a get together without desert in my life!

but since diabetes runs rampant in our family.......we are all trying to cut back on the sugar!

And to my disbelief I do feel better without it!

Florida Vacation Memories

I have enjoyed this past summer as it winds down.....I have been lazy but very busy at the same time!

We had a big family (12 of us) vacation at Mexico Beach Florida!

they had ramps built to their beaches...so I set this close to the beach for a little while.....and took pics of the beautiful ocean.

But don't feel sorry for me since I do not like sand and this was plenty close enough to the beach for me!!

We were thrilled to see an alligator in the marsh behind the rental house.....far enough away!

I stayed in the air conditioning during the heat since I melt!  However I still love the summer time....hope yall had a good one too.

Fathers Day Snapshot

This little snapshot ended up being one of my favorite pictures of dad (holding Nate) 5 years ago....before he got so sick.

We had fun family times when he could come to Atlanta and stay a week with us.
I loved driving him to see doctors (which would ask which one of us was the patient since I was in a wheelchair),
helping him to get a new pair of glasses as he needed them, and run by Sams Club often,
We even waited in line together at the crack of dawn for Affordable Dentures! (not concert tickets but dentures:))  

 

hubs and grandbaby

I can't leave Hubs out of all this Fathers Day talk cause he is a great father to our kids!

Happy Father's Day!

Can you see the deer?

This was a pretty sight to open the door to the other morning!

I saw the deer real fast since it was that close to my house.

closer look with editing

I like the convenience of a not so great cell phone camera......

As I try to capture some of the fleeting beauty around me!
