It is really hard for me to believe that it is already November.... crazy.... I have celebrated another birthday...... and I'm still loving life.... I only hope all my granddaughter's come when they need too.....and not when they want too.....lol
I am truly excited about Christmas and New Years this year.....I am hoping that Jessica, Brandon and Addy can be there too.... I know that there is also Jessica, Brian and Nick & Tyler, don't get me wrong, I would love to have them in Memphis too...but you see they have their other families here and there and they will be with them enjoying themselves as well.....
My poor outside babies Kona and Darla.....And Hope..... They are going to have to spend Christmas alone???? I'm not sure what to do with them yet.....or should I have someone here to stay??? I was thinking of taking the outside girls to Memphis to play with Jasper, but they have no place to go to get out of the weather.... And I don't think Crystal or Andrew would want them inside their house......lol
What to do........

I love that I am friends with my kids..... thank you for that. I can't imagine not being a friend to your kids....

I have been having such a great time with Finley..... She makes me smile and brings joy to my life,

It is Monday again.... before I know it- it will be Friday again... the weeks are flying by so fast- it's almost scary.... Saturday I rearranged the kitchen (again) I know I can't help it.... Just know that I moved everything around- I think I will like it-not sure yet- but I'll keep you up on that... I wish there were kitchen rules that told you where to put your plates, glasses, can goods, boxed items, baking stuff...... you get the idea.... I got so confused..... But it's done for a while....and I love my Great Grandma's cabinet.... This is one of those things that I remember being in her kitchen... I wanted it years ago, when she passed away, but of course- one of my brothers got it instead... 29 years later I got it! I love love love the way it makes me smile and remember my great grandma.....It is full of my depression glass...which I started to collect because of her....
Went to Ronnie & Leslie Kempf's wedding on Saturday.... it started at 2 and lasted a full hour.... oh my goodness..... beautiful colors..... but long...................Danced and had a great time with our friends.... we got home around 11:40 pm- and got up and did church Sunday morning.....
Love Sunday's...... it was raining so I finished the kitchen up and then went to the basement and watched movies the rest of the afternoon..... love doing that.....
Hope has been sleeping with Tim and I for a couple nights.... she is feeling pretty special... she doesn't move all night, I don't think......
Back to work.......
Have a great day.......

We made it back home!!! Finley had to show Papaw her new books... she was so excited when she woke up from her nap and we were at Prosource.. she just shook from excitement... Finley and I stopped at McDonald's for breakfast yesterday and she got a chicken biscuit ... she really ate good... and she told me..."Nana, this is really, really, really good." she is so much fun.
We went to the bank yesterday and she got a sucker... then we went to Aunt Jessie's house and saw her and her 3 BIG crazy dogs... then to Nana & Papaw's house to drop everything off... back to eat for Uncle Nick's birthday at Hacienda and then to walmart to pick up her new Princess sheets and quilt... and some food...(sorry, I know I usually do not shop there but, we were worn out!) then back to Nana's and Papaw's house... snack of peaches and then off to bed.... the baby bed for tonight.... only for a little bit... she laid with us for a little bit.... no... all night.... just because she needed to....:) She is still sleeping and it's 9:45am... so today we are getting her matress for her big girl bed....
thanks mom and dad for sharing Finley with us this week... we are excited!

I can't believe how fast Finley is growing up and becoming her momma.... She brings so much joy to my heart- she also brings back so many memories of her momma when she was little like her... God is so good to have blessed me not only with my children.... but also a wonderful granddaughter.... Sometimes I forget how blessed I am until I am reminded by little things.... Thank you kids for all the little things you do that remind me of how Awesome our God truly is... and how lucky I am to have you in my life....

This is the wedding cake topper we wanted for Mike and Michelle
BUT
we are not getting it......darn.
we just thought it would be so funny.....
I have been working on the video for this weekend... it is over 44 minutes long.... crazy but we had a ton of pictures..............and I have a hard time not using them all...... but I did not.
We are having a nice warm day.... not much sun but it was 71 when I went to the bank around 3. we will most likely get bad storms now...
Got to get back to work...... I miss my Tenn family......
