Aunt Jeannie

Last night November 4th Aunt Jeannie went to heaven and is no longer in pain with the dreadful disease that took her life. It is so sad to see someone suffer and be in so much pain. She left behind 4 children. I feel for her children as I know to well the feeling of losing a parent. I don't know what it feels like to be in my SWEET Uncle shoes as this is the 2nd time he has lost a spouse. My heart goes out to him and her children. I have known Jeannie since I was a little girl . I would spend time staying over night with my Aunt Gloria and she lived next door to her. My Aunt
spent hour visiting with her outside as they were tanning in the sun, they were very good friends. When my Aunt passed away, a couple of year later Uncle Dennie married Jeannie. The top picture is at the reception the family gave them. The second picture was taken in 2007 at my Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary Party. She will be missed as part of the Family. God please be with Uncle Dennie at this time!!!!! Life is way to short, we have lost way to many family members this year... we need to take in each moment, love each other... spend all the time you can with each other.
Sixty Six is to young... Take someone today by the hand and just tell them you love them...

Halloween night

We had a good day on Halloween, first we made popcorn balls, cupcakes & cookies. Kaya decorated all the cookies herself... check them out on the the first page. Teresa carved out 4 pumpkins and filled 150 bags of candy to prepare for our trick or treaters. Before Teresa & Tera left with the kiddo's she made a fire in the firepit for Papa & I to sit by while we passed out treats. I was in the kitchen making a pot of stew to eat after all the trick or treating. The air was cool but nice to sit by the fire... some of the mom's and dad's ask if they could warm their hands by the fire and told us it was a really good idea the halloween... actually we borrowed the idea from the neighborhood street behind us from last year. After the kids were done Paul joined us and we ate our Stew, and was very TIRED... a good day!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Grandma

On October 26, 1906, Eula Marie Gay was born... she had four children that she loved dearly. She was one of the hardest working woman that I ever met. She had very little, but managed to raise her children on her own. I learned alot from her...and at the time I did not realize I was learning.... how to make homemade noodles..fry the best chicken... iron my clothes... plant a garden..and harvest it...so many things that are a big part of my life now... all because grandma took time out of her already tired day to teach me.... I miss her everyday... I'm reminded of her when I use her big spoon to stir my stew or chilli... or when I wash my clothes down stairs and see her ironing board... Thanks grandma for all the lessons...one of my favorite sayings that you used to say was... got to get the canning done so we don't starve to death this winter...LOL...Happy Birthday Grandma I love you ... miss you

Our Day At The Pumpkin Patch

We had a great day at the Pumpkin Patch... the weather was cloudy but around 55 degree's. We picked apples, rode a wagon to the pumpkin patch and then picked our pumpkins. Feed the animals and played in the hay. It was a very relaxing day... the rain stayed away until after we were in the car on our way home.
