Cassidy is such a happy baby/  She is not even 2 months and she smiles so much.  She is a darling.  I am sure her parents don't find her that way all the time, hehehe.

Cassidy is such a darling.  4 weeks old today.  I have yet to see her eyes open for more than a few seconds.There is so much in store for her.  And she has to go through it all on her own.  All we can do is be there for her.  Kayla is a little jealous of her, but she will get used to her.  Take care, my friends.  Have a great weekend.

On October 17, 2013, my son and his beautiful partner presented me with a wonderful gift.  My Granddaughter, Cassidy Elisabeth Bowes.  Welcome to the world, little one.  Hard to believe you are only 3 days old.  Love you so much. 
Wow, what a gorgeous Saturday morning.  Started off not so great with a cat almost killing a squirrel in front of me, but blue skies, sunshine and warm temps made it better.  Will go back to the canal for the street food festival in a little bit.  Never been to it before so it should be interesting. Have a great rest of the weekend, my friends. TTFN
Three days of grey skies and cool temperatures.  Enough already.  I don't mind the cool temperatures, but give me a little sunshine, please!
Wow, September already.  Where did the summer go.  Grey and miserable today.  No real rain, but every so often you could feel a drop.  Started repairing the front door.  Poor Kayla, I feel horrible that she was alone and so terrified.  Freaky, though.  There is only about 6 weeks left for my granddaughter to arrive.  I am so excited, but also feel a little weird about it.  How did I get old enough to have a grandchild?  LOL.  My son has proven himself a man, responsible and happy at last.  Still not there for me, though.  Oh well.  Can't have everything.  Not much else going on.  Have a great weekend and a lovely week, my friends. TTFN.
Well, we are mid August.  Not much happening.  Allie is doing fine.  Brought her some falafel, but she didn't like it.  I think it is the cilantro she doesn't like.  Fair enough.  I have gotten quite good at making the falafels, and I do enjoy them. Other than that, school will start in a couple of weeks and things will really start going nuts.  I have been so tired lately, mostly because of the heat.  I am not sleeping well.  Too hot with the blankets on and too cold without them.  Yeah for menopause.  Have a great week,my friends. TTFN
Whew, after a month of nail-biting worry, everything turned out OK.  The baby is fine.  Now we just have to wait until next week to find out what it is.  So happy that it is ok.  Continuing with the knitting and crocheting.  Tells how old I am, LOL.  so glad that Greg finally met Allie.  She is so good for him.   Life is about to get very interesting. Have a great week, my friends. TTFN
Happy freakin' Mother's Day.  Have to admit I started out crying then just got angry.  This is the 2nd important day for me, the first being my birthday.  But once again I am alone the whole day. Sure, I got a phone call, Happy Mother's Day, no I love you, mom.  Yes I got a present about 3 weeks ago, but nothing beats an I love you or just popping in.  Can't even go anywhere as I don't have my car.  You guessed it, he borrowed it for yesterday and isn't bringing it back until after work today.  Not even a "do you need the car today?  I can bring it back before going to work." I can't count the times Greg was put first before anything else, but I am always last with him.  Kids.  Life's biggest joys and also life's biggest heartaches.
Sitting on pins and needles.  The kids have the amnio in 2 days.  Then it is about 3 to 10 daays for the results.  I hope they come in quickly.  Please let the baby be OK.  All we can do is hope for the best. Have started a second blanket and got another book for the baby.  This kid is going to be spoiled by Gramma B.  :-) Other than that, things are calming down.  Thank goodness. Have a great week, my friends. TTFN
Hoo, boy.  Had a major meltdown last night.  I think everything that has happened since January finally caught up with me.  Between the car and the dog, it has been never ending.  And yesterday, I couldn't even go to the store on my own, so I think I was feeling a little pressured.  I love Kayla dearly, but the last time I had any time to myself was when I went to Nairobi.  It is almost like being a single mom again. The only time I go anywhere without her is when I go to work.  I couldn't even take a bath, she was there needing to go out again.  We were out at least 7 times yesterday.  And I have no idea what set her tummy off this time.  I just put her potty box away on Saturday and washed all the floor, had to take it out again yesterday.  Wouldn't be so bad if she didn't try to cover up what she does.  By doing that, she spreads it all over the place.  What a mess. Oh, well, I guess that's life.  But, hey, Life?  You have thrown enough at me this year.  Plea
Wow.  Found out I am going to be a Grandma.  I am so happy.  I hope everything goes well.  Greg is so happy and scared at the same time.  So is Allie.  I don't think they have anything to worry about.  They are both going to be great parents.   The best part of it is they have a great support behind them.  Allie's parents are wonderful, and they love Greg.  I love Allie.  I have started hoarding.  Haha.  Every time I go shopping, I buy one or 2 things for the baby.  By the time he/she gets here, I will have a whole pile of things.  Just stuff like baby shampoo, body wash, diapers, etc.  I am terrified if they have a girl.  Greg is going to be a boyfriends worst nightmare.  LOL.  He will be very protective of her.  That's my boy.  He has a soft heart and wants to fix everything for everyone.  I love him so much.  And Allie won't take shit from anyone.  This is going to be one terrific kid.  Anyhow, further updates as they come. Have a great week, my friends. TT
February 15th.  It has been a month since Kayla had her operation and she is doing great.  She is running and playing just like she used to and eating much better.  I have her on a bit of a diet.  She needs to lose a few pounds because of her arthritis.  Hopefully it will help.  It has also been 9 days since the optometrist told me my Grave's disease is back, in both eyes this time. I met a very nice man, nothing to report on this yet, we had dinner once.  He seems very interested. And I turned 57 this week.  All in all, it has been an eventful month. Nothing much else happening, thank goodness.  Don't think I could take anymore excitement or changes. Well.  Have a great weekend, my friends, and a lovely week next week.

Well, Kayla goes for her surgery in the morning.  Feels like I am going in, all the crazy thoughts going through my head.  I don't want to go to sleep, because as soon as I do, it will be morning and time to take her.  I'm not sure how she is going to react when I leave her there.  I just keep thinking about how much better she is going to be after.  Maybe not right away, but soon.  Need to speak to the vet and make sure we change her pain medication.  The one they gave her makes her sick.  Anyhow, we are 2 weeks into the new year.  Time goes fast.  Need to seriously start my diet again.  Now that I am not with the trainer anymore, I tend to be slacking off a bit more.  Anyhow, have a great rest of the week, my friends.
