My Grandson!

This little guy is one of my major happy spots! He's so adorable. He called me yesterday and asked to come to my house. He said, "You miss me and worry about me, Giga." So, of course, we went and picked him up. He was with us for about 3 or 4 hours. Had a great time with him. He played with is Thomas trains and swords with his Auntie (my daughter). We read to him, gave him candy, played a new game (HiHo Cherry O) and he really enjoyed himself. His mommy came and we played another round of the game - he won!

We'll have him Thursday to make cookies, cupcakes, and covered pretzels for Easter. It's always fun with him. I'll stop by later but I wanted to post this here. Last night was fun with our precious grandson.

Finally Time To Stop By!

I finally have some time to myself and can sit here finding my happy place. I took this picture of the palm trees at our subdivision playground. I like how they look against the sky with the light clouds behind them. Palm trees and a sunny day makes me happy!

It was a busy weekend with Lonnie getting home on Thursday then leaving early Friday morning to deliver the load. Then he came home about 5 pm that night. Again he had to leave on Saturday evening to pick up the next load at 10 pm so he just stayed there overnight and left for the week. After three weeks gone - that's all the time we had together. That did not make me happy at all. Then there were other family problems that cam up and were a pain. But I'm trying to relax here and let it all go. This is the place I come to when I need to be happy, that's why the pictures are as they are here -- they make me happy.

I'll stop by again tomorrow night, but for now I'll say good night.

Beautiful Greenery!

I took this picture of part of our shrubbery in the yard. It came out very nice. I love the color variation on the leaves. Great play of light since it was in the early morning.

Didn't get to stop by last night. Hubby came home so the evening was busy. My goodness, it rained quite hard for some time last night. I didn't even know it was supposed to rain.

Going to try and get the Adobe program working, then try working on my books - you know - writing - me!

See, I've got a lot of things to accomplish and need to get busy doing them. Also need to empty the table for my office so I can lend it to Melissa for her garage sale. Guess I'd better sign off and do my thing. See you later.

Starting Out The Day!

I didn't get to post last night so here I am this morning. The picture was taken last night at St. Cloud Lakefront Park. I think it's quite interesting and pretty. I thought it came out pretty good.

Took several of the waterfalls there also. They're not as good - still learning the camera for night shots I guess.

Yesterday was good, not any real problems. I worked online for a time and then went out with my daughter.

It's always great to stop by here and relax by writing anything I want to. Great to be without criticism sometimes. I do need to be busy cleaning the house today so I guess I'd best not hang about online too long.. Bye for now.

Enjoyable Late Chat!

This is one of my happy places - my son!

I'm glad I came back online tonight before heading to bed. Normally my son is in bed asleep by now. However he was up when I looked on Facebook. He came online and we had a good chat. Was very nice. You know when people chat late at night it usually is from the heart. I never knew he felt so strongly about my dad. He totally loved him. It breaks my heart that he misses him so much. I wish he was that close with his own dad. They're close but I'm not sure how much they confide in each other or chat about life and such. It's difficult because Lon has been a trucker most of son's life.

Anyhow, he was having a good evening with his family and that makes my heart happy.

It was a good day today. I totally didn't get any work done but will try again tomorrow. Needing to download another part of the CS3 program to make my Adobe files open. Hoping it works because I need to work in those files.

It was pretty out today. Cloudy and windy for most of the day but the sun came through intermittenly and that was good. In the late afternoon it pretty much cleared off and I was happy about that. Not sure if it's clear outside now but that's okay since it's almost 2 a.m. Well need to post at another blog before I turn in. I'll stop by again.

The First Day of Spring!

Today is the first official day of spring. My favorite day of the year! Daylight Savings Time has returned and it's spring - I'm happy!!

Today was a good day even though it rained a lot and was mostly gray. I worked online for a time, then went with Heather to Joanns to walk about, stopped at the grocery store and came home. Had a good supper and watched The amazing Race on TV.

I so enjoy stopping by here when I can because it's my happy place and I write whatever I want to here. I love posting pictures of special things here. I love posting pictures I've taken of the beach, palm trees and special people and such. I'm about ready to call it a day but wanted to post here first. The palm tree is the one in our yard. I like the sky color and clouds behind it. This was taken before it got rainy outside. Enjoyed it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

'Tis a grand day for the Irish', the saying goes. Just wanted to wish a Happy St. Patrick's Day. Had a great time with Dustin yesterday baking cupcakes and cookies. He's such a treat to be with. He helped make his own mini cupcakes and cut out the cookies also. He was so proud to take some of them home to share with his mommy and daddy.

It's a gray, cold, windy day here in "sunny Florida" but it should clear out tonight I think, so I guess I can handle it. Just would have been nicer to get some pretty pictures on St. Patrick's Day. However, we're going to have fish and chips tonight, some other delights that we used from our first tea and some treats. So it will be a nice evening.

My Lonnie Jr. got out of the hospital yesterday and everything seems fine. I want him to continue by getting a Dr and have them read all the tests and give him some recommendations. He needs to take better care of himself.

So this will have to be my entry for today. Unless I get ambitious or have time later tonight.
