Spring! I've got just 3 weeks left of Florida living and then it's time to head north again to Indiana. I've hardly had time in the last week to catch my breath not just from all the things to finish up here, but from all the events and running around. I've had some time on my surfboard, finally, but not yet gotten out the windsurfer. There just hasn't been time, and when there is; the weather doesn't want to cooperate. We've spent the past week with everyone here at the camp, and several friends who have popped in on their way here or there. I've hardly had time to talk to the Grandbabies since they're an hour ahead of us and that puts their bedtimes well ahead of ours. Seems like we've just run, run, run. Frankly, this woman is pooped out. I took one look at that photo of Princess Rose, asleep in the grocery cart, and I definitely can relate to that feeling. Once these storms pass, though, I'm going to try to get the most surfing time in that I can- while I can!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's hard to shake that "winter" feeling of slowing down- especially when I think of Indiana covered in snow. At least the days are getting longer, and I try to get out into the sun. That sleepy feeling prevails when the daylight hours are shorter. There was a project I wanted to get done and post up, but time got away from me and suddenly it's 2 years later. But there's always a chance that a theme is going to come along that will fit in with my long-awaited plan, and it finally happened.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #ea9999;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> I</b>'ve made several posts where I talked about our own family living the firefighter's lifestyle, and I was hooked on it at a young age when a television show called "EMERGENCY!" debuted in January 1972. If you missed a show- and you only had one chance to see a show back in those days- the only other chance to see it, if it came up again at all as a "rerun" in the summer months. So, there were some in there that I ended up missing over the years 1972 to 1979, during the show's run. I remember when it was cancelled- being a top show didn't make a difference to the Studio powers that were in charge. But then, this thing called VHS was invented, and DVD after that. Now, when you want to watch, if it's not already playing on several channels, all you need to do is pop in a DVD and you're all set to watch as long as you have the time to! What made the biggest impact (even more so than wanting to marry Johnny Gage), was how REAL the show turned out to be. Trust me, firefighters can't make these stories up on their own. Real accidents and all-too-real dangerous fires have made their way from actual FD logbooks onto the television screen with the original Station 51 (aka real-life Station 127 in Carson, California). There's a lot more to the story of the show than I can type here. While the fan base is alive and well, sadly, only a few of the actors who portrayed these beloved characters are still alive. I've only gotten to meet one of them- 10 years ago, already! Although only one was actually a real-life Fighter (Mike Stoker- who used his real name as his character) each, though, will always be remembered for the show that really DID change the way Emergency Medical Services are quickly available today. The show really did change lives, literally!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicW_cIrPYa_ivxdRTQCbI-1lF9SYiHf6j8l7wZ8MU8ALiuf2wpO5AJSC_nWdjThfovGKPuj1Ti4Mds20rp9sochrvtjcmeGuqc-r1XfyqJlDSILzgSUfpQttnz5NwBX9jtA2shpk-Ywq_WqkOoXGMzI5TqFNxWwvcYQf3DrdNTB7TBNpeEzuj53UXcVEs/s1149/Copy%20of%20IMG_1934%20%20%201A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1149" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicW_cIrPYa_ivxdRTQCbI-1lF9SYiHf6j8l7wZ8MU8ALiuf2wpO5AJSC_nWdjThfovGKPuj1Ti4Mds20rp9sochrvtjcmeGuqc-r1XfyqJlDSILzgSUfpQttnz5NwBX9jtA2shpk-Ywq_WqkOoXGMzI5TqFNxWwvcYQf3DrdNTB7TBNpeEzuj53UXcVEs/w400-h297/Copy%20of%20IMG_1934%20%20%201A.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNiqcFOiJNQ_PpRbyjTIrWzi-XXLs8e9a_4F3ay1jhLY-qoL6lemlfqIuQlZpnp0UzD89zm6IBWNPG4_PNJM6aXBgo7q4YbG6q_z6T3re9qTw-usZIsGcN4b9MfAyLhp60eTC_gdIm6XuL-KCCmDvfNHcxEZevEKpiyMzWzOUbKzkAmECBfQClGX01POc/s400/Copy%20of%20EMERGENCY!%20opening%20credit%20scene%201%20%20%202A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><img border="0" data-original-height="245" data-original-width="400" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNiqcFOiJNQ_PpRbyjTIrWzi-XXLs8e9a_4F3ay1jhLY-qoL6lemlfqIuQlZpnp0UzD89zm6IBWNPG4_PNJM6aXBgo7q4YbG6q_z6T3re9qTw-usZIsGcN4b9MfAyLhp60eTC_gdIm6XuL-KCCmDvfNHcxEZevEKpiyMzWzOUbKzkAmECBfQClGX01POc/w400-h245/Copy%20of%20EMERGENCY!%20opening%20credit%20scene%201%20%20%202A.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIxHeDPxOs05y2BdnazfYiXGUtbCjs-B9woz-coR4YaxUMWkL-lSyGEPlDlVqIB5Hrr5CQ9v3Y66OYdjukUpi5iP4UibyawYJTYKMYQsL_kMJsUpPTKMg4Dpdb7Byd7d4c5DDtdeWOvEBeD7IRbya04Vxt_pr02obKsNihbN5jOkLW1uAoxeo27tGwjWw/s1442/Copy%20of%20IMG_1933%20%20%203A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1442" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIxHeDPxOs05y2BdnazfYiXGUtbCjs-B9woz-coR4YaxUMWkL-lSyGEPlDlVqIB5Hrr5CQ9v3Y66OYdjukUpi5iP4UibyawYJTYKMYQsL_kMJsUpPTKMg4Dpdb7Byd7d4c5DDtdeWOvEBeD7IRbya04Vxt_pr02obKsNihbN5jOkLW1uAoxeo27tGwjWw/w300-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_1933%20%20%203A.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgim4YpNdHjJCB3xxfoTtPG2lsopHdS44Yu9zKZirBy_-ANgeo6OAvSSuC2BrNlcoy1G4nobO_YVr_a8iUTmgJOAbVriS8Cj-U4OvHwPXoQTRBEy7gICe55BH-OIOlC8FVmJpofwrN3oIRPD-OXL2yWk_1mVFoJefj9VOsKD51fzsar4gsBcbsMCTNizdU/s1824/Copy%20of%20IMG_1970%20%20%204A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1584" data-original-width="1824" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgim4YpNdHjJCB3xxfoTtPG2lsopHdS44Yu9zKZirBy_-ANgeo6OAvSSuC2BrNlcoy1G4nobO_YVr_a8iUTmgJOAbVriS8Cj-U4OvHwPXoQTRBEy7gICe55BH-OIOlC8FVmJpofwrN3oIRPD-OXL2yWk_1mVFoJefj9VOsKD51fzsar4gsBcbsMCTNizdU/w320-h278/Copy%20of%20IMG_1970%20%20%204A.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><b style="font-size: x-large;">I</b>'m leading off the latest theme for <a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/">The Funkie Junkie Boutique </a>over at <a href="https://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/">Inspiration Ave</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">that will be posting for the next two weeks.

I was about ready to go nuts... slightly more than I already am, that is! We finally found the electrical problem here... only $1,000 later. Seems we were having an extra load of positive coming in and we're actually very lucky a fire didn't start. We have a nice </span>setup, that only took 3 years to finish; from internet/TV/computers we use, to the extra heat we've put in and spare bathroom/laundry. All that work and added setups of same all around us, has kept us on our toes and we've finally gotten it all straightened out. It kind of blew up on us, though- mostly the living room TV and the main heater. Oops. It was well worth the $600 for the Electrician (our 'usual' electrician happens to be a Bestie, but it happened while they were away in Italy). Just as we got it all stablized, I went out to take a shower after a good loooong walk on the beach to regroup.... and found myself just one foot away from a nice SNAKE. In. The. Bathroom. The photo, below, was taken from some distance away. We later found out that he's actually a "nice" snake, and they can live up in our trees. "Nice" is fine... but one must draw the line when it can drop from a tree or go into my BATHROOM. The next afternoon found us both clearing out everything from under the decks, burning it all from every inch of our area, and laying out packets of moth balls in and out. I need another calming walk on my beach.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPNCJexGNzgw_n23gTnllXXrbzsoVBy0tHnWaTAcBFWipVBBnzLmKcHw0oqINvGs5sioZKBUeIWG8vuWZsjz5LIWNCcjvQBv5-xNFrdqmONjeB5nwBX6ch39FUwirpP6Hy2ZzFda3osDJdEBKE7XMuZRynJg-vb616tnShvjLH8L1ONI_RRpeQ7jPdzW8/s3107/Copy%20of%20IMG_2683%20%20%201A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1641" data-original-width="3107" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPNCJexGNzgw_n23gTnllXXrbzsoVBy0tHnWaTAcBFWipVBBnzLmKcHw0oqINvGs5sioZKBUeIWG8vuWZsjz5LIWNCcjvQBv5-xNFrdqmONjeB5nwBX6ch39FUwirpP6Hy2ZzFda3osDJdEBKE7XMuZRynJg-vb616tnShvjLH8L1ONI_RRpeQ7jPdzW8/w400-h211/Copy%20of%20IMG_2683%20%20%201A.JPG" width="400" id="id_c395_aa83_afd8_42c3" style="width: 400px; height: auto;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f8c4c4;"><b style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"> T</b><span style="text-align: left;">he Grandbabies are keeping up with us via Facetime, but we've all been busy- they love being at their respective Libraries during this time of year when it's too cold to stay outside for long. We've always done our share of reading, and our Kids are all the same way, and that love has passed on to the Grands. It's all a matter of finding out what they like to read about. We're very blessed that we have that to share & I try to make time to read to each one of them- and all of them together whenever possible. Jamie is teaching the last one (Princess Rose) to read by reading to her himself! Cole and Chloe always seem to have a sibling competition and reading/phonics is no different; anything Peanut can do, Princess Chloe insists she can do better.

We made a trip downstate to the Lake Arora Christian Camp (south of Orlando) where 2 sets of our Besties are currently serving. We toured the camp, the town, and the Florida Natural Store, freshly picked my own oranges (YUM!), got in a boat tour of Lake Arora, and shared some great meals and fun card games, before heading back up to our own TriState Christian Camp. The car, which previously had a bit of radiator trouble, did just fine once again, getting us safely down and back. We settled back in and had a few fun nights of food and fun games with all sides of our family, since all of them were traveling or had visitors staying with them since before Christmas. There's always something that needs doing, but the usual month of cold for the Florida Panhandle begins at the end of December and runs until the first of February. It was cold (20*F) for a few nights, but then; all of the US was facing cold and snow except LA and San Diego, so we snuggled up and waited it out. Not nearly as cold as it hit January of last year... so far. We had a chance to talk to all the Grandbabies on FaceTime, and let me just say; there is nothing like having your 6yo Grandson play sandcastle cars for you; 4yo Grandson sing songs for 30 mins to you, and your 4yo GrandDaughter on videos showing how she knows all the moves to all the song videos by heart, and watching your almost 18mo old GrandDaughter just making faces, being adorable, and giggling into the screen at you.....totally PRICELESS memories!!! The Kids keep us up to date with new news and this time; Brett took an offer made to him to be the Plant Manager of the Nuclear Facility next to the one he was working at. That makes him one of THE youngest to ever get that position, and it definitely puts him in a good spot for future work. I advocate they choose somewhere WARM, but they love the Northern areas... and all that...snow. Ugh! We're so proud of our Kids and thankful to The LORD.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span> </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">F</b><span>or the week of this posting, we are spending time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We've been all over the Eastern US, but never in this area before- we've always passed it by without staying. But this visit is special; we're here with all the other TriState Family for the Christian Camp Leaders Conference. And it's not just about learning more; it's also connecting with others doing the same kind of work for The LORD. It's fun, funny, and downright crazy at times! I'm enjoying myself doing all the pics and videos,</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEoeCyqr1MFkIJUODKHwSrOIY2X8ygDUM9b6muKJDLZLmdzVWJd_6L7zVe8xkHC9qo2l0vJtjtD47zIRuWC1W5UnyNt_YAOhLxthcQzsewhECehqPJb78IbOKO7jg7LunWb5nVRSOqWMnW5Ii4d-uJ2dj2ZHflt_YGcwodqbaJq5_DTzVBg0AEsrYxql4/s2340/Copy%20of%20IMG_2231%20%20%207A.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2340" data-original-width="2324" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEoeCyqr1MFkIJUODKHwSrOIY2X8ygDUM9b6muKJDLZLmdzVWJd_6L7zVe8xkHC9qo2l0vJtjtD47zIRuWC1W5UnyNt_YAOhLxthcQzsewhECehqPJb78IbOKO7jg7LunWb5nVRSOqWMnW5Ii4d-uJ2dj2ZHflt_YGcwodqbaJq5_DTzVBg0AEsrYxql4/s320/Copy%20of%20IMG_2231%20%20%207A.JPG" width="318" /></a></span></span></div><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span><br /> making it seem like "old times" working for the photo shoots. The drive up here from Florida was NOT all that fun; more than halfway up, the truck we were in began having tire problems (turned out it broke several lugnuts off and was swinging back and forth) and after a stop to find a garage to fix it, we rented another vehicle and drove on. Some miles onto the freeway, what turned out to be two cars, were stopped dead (with no brake lights, nor flashing lights), in the middle of the freeway's left lane- with several semitrucks in the right lane beside us. By the time any of us realize the vehicle was stopped- especially our friend driving- it was almost too late. His skill in getting us through the grassy median was nothing short of a true miracle! And later, wondering about that tire and the hour it took to find a place that would fix it, with more time to find a rental... if we had kept on and swerved, that loose front-passenger-sided tire would have flowm off. Yes; GOD does watch over us fools!</span></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwNnZGRaa_8AgmI8CAdvBejLU4M8ZHu9D5DUBolrR9n8dBSLugaJVaSjekS5b07G_XlIIyKxJCsfUEc8kXPoSKqUj5fKhmk1TtKcZJELDFwRXvVhB2-78nfiyzg2EAj4yViuXJStoB29lP-J7by0MlVoLlyvxlo0YgTlnnAGaOrGp-w4ahc9u3EnDPkLQ/s4000/Copy%20of%20IMG_2233%20%20%203A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

I'm excited to see what this year brings for our family and look forward to seeing my Grandbabies growing and spending time with them this Summer, once again; they're always on my mind- no matter where I am! May The LORD be gracious to us all this year and my prayers are for Blessings to everyone. We started out this year with our car going *kerplunk!* and changing our plans to take off for the Florida Keys with some Besties we're meeting up with for this week- visiting them down in Lake Wales (where they serve at Arora Christian Camp), FL. It's a bit warmer there, since we're right in the middle of "the coldest month" here at our Camp. I was looking so forward to the Keys since South Miami is the furthest we've been up to now, but our vehicle has other thoughts and it's likely time we replace it. So, right off, the year 2024 gives me that "replacement year" feeling. It will have to wait till this fall. Ugh. In other news... The Grandbabies all got their ornament gifts in the mail as of last week. (</b><a href="https://larimore2.blogspot.com/2023/12/thefunkie-junkie-boutique-inspiration.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Click Here if you missed that post's Inspiration.</a><b>) The older three kids got theirs in the mail the same day *gasp!* but Princess Rose had to wait for hers another day. Florida's mail can be quite the ssssssllllllooooooowwww process. They were all excited to have mail, open it up, and place their ornaments onto their trees. Jamie decided to stamp his- they're all great artists- and it made me wish I'd sent b&w sets for them, too. We're getting videos of the older 2: Peanut cheering on his Sissy who's roaring through their acreage on their go-cart and the younger two just sent us new pics of the SNOW they're having up in New York. Princess Chloe is the "go-getter" speeding by with a dress on... as only a Princess can do! Meanwhile, Pecan, being the old hand at living in deep snows of Minnesota, is teaching Princess Rose how to make Snow Angels.

I'm leading off for our first Inspiration Ave theme of the year, "It's Cold Outside" and it's definitely a fitting theme for the entire USA this week! Most of the northern half will be getting covered by at least a couple of inches of snow, and the lower half (including my area) is going to see cold rain and storms blow through. What better idea than to cozy up in your craft space and join along with us for this?! I've got a really simple make to share with you, and after my post, my fellow Design Teammates will follow with theirs, so don't miss any of the next two weeks: pop back in OFTEN!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

T</span><span style="color: #93c47d;">he hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is mostly over, but not quite yet for us, since we still have one more weekend of celebrating yet to go down here. A couple of our Besties came down to spend Christmas Day with us and ended up leaving that day. Justin had come down sick and they decided it was best to just get back home to Indiana. We'd taken them all around to see all the decor up in Florala, Alabama, down to the beaches, and around Lake DeFuniak's Christmas Reflections of lights circling the lake and park. It got a bit rough for me when I saw the litup dogs and realized this was my first Christmas without my HunniPi pup. I miss her all the time. Our week went like one Bestie was hit by Covid and (the weekend before) had ended up in the hospital. At this time, he's still pretty weak and that was a nasty way to not only spend Christmas Day, but Christmas Eve, which was his 56th Birthday. Ugh. One by one (or is that 2 by 2, lol) the number of folks staying here for the holiday dwindled until we had only 3 couples left of the bunch. It was a fun meal, though, and the company we had was very good, indeed! We spent a good amount of time saving pics and videos off our phones of the Grandbabies' holiday happenings and managed to get to Facetime all the kids. Princess Pistachio was the only Grand to have a Christmas Program- she rocked it in both dress and performance!! She and Peanut were surprised to get a go-cart from Santa Clause and learned how to safely drive it without Daddy... helmets were also left by Santa for these particular lessons. Mommy and Daddy had it delivered to our house and there was a video of Daddy crunched up inside it- giving it a breaking in (much like this Memaw once did with his first motorbike while he was getting off the bus on his 15th Birthday, lol)! There were several funny videos that kept us in stitches! Little Man Pecan excitedly counted the "sleeps" until it was time to go to his Aunt and Uncle's house in Canada for Boxing Day on the 26th. He's far more excited to be with his Cousins to play than getting gifts any day! While he did get some neat gifts, too. He's pretty much mastered the camera he got for his Birthday in November, as well as the Mini Phone he got from us for Christmas, but it's always cool when his Mommy and Daddy send pics they find on their iPhones when he's stolen their phone just to use the camera...this time pics of his Princess Sissy. That child is SO FREAKING TALENTED with filters and poses!! He'll be needing a big Canon before he's 10! Princess Rose is growing bigger by the day- with the world's most beautiful baby hair that gets longer by the day! Our blessings just keep on raining down: one of several heart-tugs that got to me in these past days was Peanut getting a new favorite tractor book at school. He decided he was going to make a video of himself reading it- just like Memaw does every year now that we're down in Florida. I just about bawled my head off all the way through it. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself "out there" and perform in front of folks, but these kids are taking the stage all on their own- in every important sharing way! (I;ve included both videos of the stories we each read- feel free to share from YouTube!)</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI3zaunGoo61oO_QhUMrbdseCx_TzXnUUjQRvN9FWVhzE8JFCJL1lr-KaVZdtOSCj0tzIWLNheu9QFAUVJCwslEiF-ekSlfdaVmWhdWQrrys3LeSU1ZYs-e3Q5mW-p0YHLHht6S97jt22oecPDjbD5JD3EPpFYpWUA745FqKJgffn0SVB-B4rMBqokVzc/s2697/Copy%20of%20IMG_0922%20%20%202A.JPG" style="background-color: #660000;

I keep more than plenty busy and the days often pass by before I realize my Grandbabies are already in bed and getting ready for the next day. By the time I finally got around to Dr-advised walking again or having a chance to shop any, the lights were already all up around Lake DeFuniak and the "Circle of Lights" was going strong. So much for having more time to get ready for the season by leaving Indiana right after Thanksgiving. *sigh* Things happen and life tosses surprises here and there between all the "hurry up and go, go, go". Even beach time has suffered only a couple hours in one walk. We are enjoying not just our Family who live here in Florida, but some who have come down from Indiana to also serve The LORD here! It's kept all the work fun, and the Worship time has been "like old times" in a way. I'm hoofing it to keep up with everyone else... just like old times, lol! I give a big KUDOS! to my 4 kids for keeping us up to date on the Grandbabies through pics and Facetime calls. The older set of Kids (Brian & Ashley) are keeping up with each child in a different school (both K and PreK), which has to be a feat these days! They sent us notice that Peanut- having been "Cougar of the Day" a few weeks ago- was invited to ride the School Bus, representing his school (from Kindergarten Class), in their town's Christmas Parade. Princess Chloe was excited to get to join him- and no doubt; wear her latest fashion! I chuckled at Mommy's description of "Chloe and the other kids jumping up and down on the bus, with Cole sitting in his seat and looking at them all with his 'Bus Rules are to SIT DOWN!' looks". Peanut is a stickler for the rules, just like his Memaw, as much as Chloe's excitedness is like me, also! Younger set of Kids (Brett and Holli) - both Purdue grads- are lucky; living near Toronto, Canada, where the Boilermaker Men's Basketball just happened to be in a tourney. After scoring some 2nd row tix (and her Sis and BroInLaw as babysitters for Pecan and Princess Rose) they had a nice, nail-biting time at the televised game. #4 Purdue did win the game. We watched from here and I was able to pick them out at one point but missed taking a photo of them on the screen. Aunt Krista took lots of pictures of the fun Pecan and Princess had while staying with their Cousins. When I look at Princess Rose, I feel like I am staring into a mirror of myself at her age! She looks the most of them all like me and it feels sweetly uncanny! When they returned home, Jamie, who just turned 4, showed off his marker skills that he's been practicing on- wrote his own name on the calendar while his Parents were updating it! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> W</b></span>e're so very PROUD of each of these Grandbabies and we are SO BLESSED that they not only enjoy learning and reading, but they're ready to use it to help others in their examples doing these things!!

Yes, we've had 2 snowfalls in Indiana with the 2nd leaving its remnants on the ground even as we leave for Florida. It's that time and we're currently on the way, stopping over in Birmingham, AL, to spend some time with some very dear, long-time friends of ours that we don't see enough of. The month of November simply flew past me and I really struggled to keep up. But it was definitely worth every bit of it: we managed to get in time with all our Besties, as well as time with all our Kids and Grandbabies- all together! The younger NY Kids came down for Thanksgiving weekend and we divided our time between both sets- spending Thanksgiving Day with the Older Daughter's side of the family in Hebron, IN. (Thank you, Debbie and Rick; what a fantastic FEAST!) For Black Friday, instead of the rush of shopping, I had ours all finished, wrapped, and ready for the Grandbabies to open and enjoy. What a fun time that is for me and I treasure every second of it all! After a full day playing, visits from several of our Besties (Thank you, Cindy, for the MM plates- brings back memories of a Christmas gift from my Grandparents- circa 1974!), a very late movie, and many bouncy shenanigans, it was finally time for bed. At the rate these four kids are growing, my trundle day-bed is not going to fit them in a few years down the road. I'll definitely need a new couch well before then. The next afternoon (Saturday), we took the older 3 Grandbabies to ride the Dentzel Carousel in our hometown while Baby Princess napped. It was the last time for the rides for the year and we were finally able to get them in for it. After a supper of our favorite Chinese takeout, I read the CHRISTmas story of JESUS' birth to everyone... Papaw actually fell asleep in his chair, lol... the Grandbabies took turns opening their gifts. We took the older 2 Grandbabies to church while the younger family headed back to NY on Sunday. Parting with each set always leaves the ChiefHubby and I wiping tears, but knowing we need the time away together just as much as our kids all need time away from us... it's bittersweet. While taking pics of my finished project, I found prints in the snow on the back deck that made me smile and warmed my heart ! The memories will hold us over till we wrap them in our arms again!</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Kxx6-30w83gnyxBP55beoQ04O30xZ2GSDD6f9XhFYY_AE8MZXpRvZ2sLMF9mM33qcw2qrVGFKTdu4mwGAk00NyKmpnTWfuZSrptw4jFAG10BjYWwj4QZZEjnc06VoMT4zYNBRdZRfN1zf-T5B2i-S2MkcdvTBtVkAHLTXs2RbjkKF7y9G-1IkFavUmE/s3291/Copy%20of%20IMG_9271%20%20%201A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

We got a very early snow that could be measured (1/4 inch) which most TrickOrTreaters didn't venture out in. It's been freezing at night ever since. I'm ready to fly SOUTH now, where the sandy beaches are still warm and waiting for me! I was getting a bit stressed trying to finish up the work for closing up the Indiana house, yet, we made good progress the first week of the month. We've still got a few things left to do, but for now, we are currently further north- Upstate New York- to celebrate younger Grandson Pecan's (Jamie) 4th Birthday! It's the last birthday of the year in our family and while he had his party with friends over on Sunday, the actual day is Tuesday; November 14th (as it just turned while I type this late after midnight). This little boy is defintely gifted and blows through the tech toys, catching on quickly. He's talented on an iPhone camera and uses filters and effects like nobody's business! He's actually taught ME a thing or two on there! So his 'Rents got him a more age-appropriate type of camera. He's got it mastered in one day and has taken over 1,000 photos; reworking his faves into real art .He's also enjoying his first real bicycle and practiced nearly 4 entire hours on Saturday- to show off his new skill during his party. I am very much enjoying the time with both the younger Grandbabies- with Princess Rose welcoming me with open arms and remembering us for the first time! She usually has had to have a chance to warm up to us that first day we're here. She's such a beautiful child and my heart bursts to see her smile and laugh! On our way up here, we got some pics from the older Daughter- she was trying to take some fall photos of the older Grandbabies for us, and Princess Chloe never fails to be positively sweet! She's got a thing for stuffed animals and especially kitties right now. Right after those pics came in, we got another msg that Peanut (OIder Grandson) was chosen out of all his school to be "Cougar of the Day"! Actually, it's not a huge surprise; he's a VERY good student and is always helpful when he's at Memaw& Papaw's house! He's a great example to his little Sissy and she's copying him in the classroom- always getting compliments at Church, too. My heart gushes over these four WONDERFUL GIFTS!!!!</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZv7Rwe_0xLBTawAffS5qntzmUCgsEu3ukHjRN7Se7PKtWtMFL6QajDyNM4o7Ny9QLlvLoT87IKIoKiftl1wcQhkcCPj0_rGpchyphenhyphenzXXGjjYsXcklV0wjNdV1jsShIO9JijbhFSXbKAe16Enp2D39CTj08yK4qPj2iIXwCWgutcr7tsN0PwxdzvDUNgWI/s1318/Copy%20of%20IMG_8577%20%20%201A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

We have only 4 weeks left until we head south again, already. We've managed to get most of the outside things done, but with so much yet left to do before we pack up. We did enjoy a spectacular view out here with colors bursting from the trees and some good warm weather as well, which allowed me to get my sailboat out and give her a good run on her way to storage for the year. There was nearly a full month of color until this past week when it 'rained' leaves faster than actual rain! The 18th brought my 58th Birthday and my ChiefHubby planned a nice getaway in Shipshewana (northern Indiana) with a 2-night stay and a Mersey Beatles concert. We've seen all the top Beatles tribute bands but had yet to see this one. And we enjoyed a lot of wonderful Amish-made food as only the Amish can make! This past week has gone especially fast, and we'll be up in New York to celebrate the last birthday of the year- Jamie turns 4 on November 14th, while I am still shopping for him yet! He's the Pumpkin -along with Memaw- and he really LOVES pumpkins and especially Halloween! As I type this, it's still Halloween and all our Grandbabies will be out in their neighborhoods getting their "Boo Bags" filled with candy. It's a fun holiday for them to actually have a reason to play dress up and it's always been a favorite holiday of their Parents as well. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We definitely don't have a problem "keeping active" in our golden older years, that's for sure! We helped at the KidFest our church puts on every year in October, then immediately left for some relaxing campout time with some of our Besties. We didn't need to go far- almost right out our back door- to a nearby popular watering hole. But the trip included driving back and forth for all three evenings for activities (Bible studies 2 evenings and JAM with the older set of Grandbabies Wednesday evenings). And this past weekend; a funeral and a wedding in the same day. All the running around, and likely the cold weather added to it; caused an RA flareup on Sunday and I'm still feeling the effects of it even as I type this. Time keeps marching on and our Grandbabies all seem to have the energy that I wish I still had! I kind of wish it would slow down a little bit- I'm almost afraid to blink... and miss out on these milestones they are all reaching. They've all four gotten taller and heavier, with Peanut leading the way. He lost a tooth last month, and a second one while on his first<br /> class trip. While Princess Pistachio is actually 7 months older than Pecan, he's still a bit bigger- even though he still fits into a cooler to help do the grocery shopping. (Order me a dozen of him,lol!) But Princess Chloe is fast growing out of her clothes and it's going to get expensive for her parents if they keep up with her Fashion Passion! Little Princess Rose is taking after the rest of her family with her love of books- even at only age one! We've been extremely blessed in this area with our family; from birth, our boys have loved reading. They've always finished novels in speed-reading time. They each married girls who hold education as very important and each has her Bachelor's degree. I feel so very blessed that our Grandkids all have the "push" they'll need when the time comes- as it will for every kid.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_maFT6ACXf5K9Ol0LcU0mTSGvsooGg5EeFUIgJCNfdXvQu88LMBrgg42pEUKAL9mMituUrK6VyLXPHWIgme7agAEsaGga0YCertRbZpgum-N_gu2hFqD6JGnYG6PkE4UNkyf0R4dIu2wcj2s2kmj-z9Nde6J8SQFDmhIoYEUzG7PG-1W2v6GNGnwjnI/s2669/Copy%20of%20IMG_7597%20%20%205A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Pushing through this project was actually rougher than I expected it to be. I've actually been carting this around with me in all of my travels since July, and never seeming to get the downtime to take my time with it. So here it is, the week it's due and life tosses everything it can into my path to this finish line. I've pressed on- simply because it was so FUN to make! I've chosen to use Tim Holtz's Fabric Journal and fill it to bursting with lots of mixed IdeaOlogy items. My Craft Room was a disaster area while this was being made, but it was worth all the effort! This is going to be a different kind of posting for me, since I'll be showing a lot of finished photos with a few secret tips mixed in. I'm including as many of the IdeaOlogy items as possible, so be sure to check out the LINKS List. Ready, set... let's go!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxC3Z4d8BuPpkjIOMtTtwtdGHy2-qZxfuOgsw_3v443MYZs12yJsp8QLi43Vox-JTHCuSPGaRdetT4GQ6dgoYdN5qFf9KNo1YF29Q3Xq18WLLyMKnQ2HKqfYjLNaXxC9LbIFAA0oQCzmB1P97jicYywnAmZ_LGV94XlAa03bf4Qgh6ySN3uZfuWg_oPkM/s4000/Copy%20of%20IMG_7348%20%20%201%20Start%20Materials.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #fdd69a;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxC3Z4d8BuPpkjIOMtTtwtdGHy2-qZxfuOgsw_3v443MYZs12yJsp8QLi43Vox-JTHCuSPGaRdetT4GQ6dgoYdN5qFf9KNo1YF29Q3Xq18WLLyMKnQ2HKqfYjLNaXxC9LbIFAA0oQCzmB1P97jicYywnAmZ_LGV94XlAa03bf4Qgh6ySN3uZfuWg_oPkM/w400-h300/Copy%20of%20IMG_7348%20%20%201%20Start%20Materials.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fdd69a;">Tim's Fabric Journal has been in my stash since January.

I also used my mini sewing machine to add stitches here and there. The harder baseboard IdeaOlogy items were distressed with various TH Distress Crayons and I've also used a few of the Distress Paints. I basically used for neutral colors: Antique Linen, Black Soot, Ground Espresso, and Black Soot. Glossy Accents was my glue of choice. The rest of the items will be listed at the end. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fdd69a;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The air got a bit too chilly with no rain to help keep the water line high enough, so we closed the pool for the winter and put all the deck furniture away. Of course, it rained after that, and the sun heated back up to the 80s this week. I wasn't too upset over the closing, because it gives me more time to get some wind into my sail. I've only been out once this summer and the winds will start their direction change soon. Halloween will likely blow in chilly and wet- the norm for us here in mid-north Indiana. At least we had great weather while the younger set of kids were here last weekend. They drove down to stay for 6 days to attend the younger Daughter's family reunion, but we got in a couple of days with the Grandbabies and my heart was ready to burst with joy to have all of us together! The older 2 finally got to meet their new Cousin, Princess Rose, and I think Princess Pistachio was the most excited over her and wanting to hold her.... until she realized how tall Judith is! The older 3 haven't been able to see each other since 2021, and they've gotten so big! They were all so excited to see each other again and watching their greeting and then running off together... I had to hold the tears back as I was transported back in time: watching Peanut and Pecan looked like exact replicas of their Daddy's out there again. And it was fun watching Brian and Brett teach them how to roll in their toys down the hill the way they did at that same age. I got to keep the older three overnight and we had popcorn and a movie- snuggling up together. I'm so amazed how excited they were together. The first call to Jamie after they got back home wasn't greeting me with "MEMAW!"... instead, he asked "Where's Cole and Chloe?!". Yeah, I can take a hint. lol! Yes, I finally got the pictures I had my heart set on getting this year. (I'm the smallest adult- no wonder they love me; they think I'm another munchkin!)</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxTxNlBETcKnVb83gd-KuzGmrFzmFt3LF2T8gMS868ra4C6ZpBUclQkKsrtq3EfcKCgRFgj2fTSFlEY7CvdWipxQKSUR14RgTQnEfb5OxDd4PE3lakasS8XRdHE7LFj5LexL0zpgoM_NHk1edEYBwmL6eFU55npDYr8h3tRFx7SWoCzrpFUNrXSO7C0A/s1703/Copy%20of%20IMG_E7460%20%20%206A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's been pretty much a not-enough-rain and too cool couple of weeks here. I've had to keep adding water to the pool and not exactly fond of getting into that chilled-down temp. But it's supposed to heat up this week and I'll have a lot on my plate. The New York kids are coming down (driving even as this goes live) and staying for a week to attend a family reunion on the younger Daughter's side. So I'll hopefully get the chance to have all four Grandbabies together at the same time at some point this week. They're all growing so fast and time just keeps slipping by on me even as I spend it with them. The ChiefHubby turned 61 years old (!!) on September 15th and the older set brought Chinese and cake for him. Peanut had spent the week before being the first one of his Kindergarten class to be honored for his helpfulness in school (not surprising; he's a Teddy Bear like his Daddy and Uncle were)! He got to have the sign out on the road where everyone would see it. What a surprise for him to find that on the way to school that morning! Princess Pistachio is still like Memaw- in Summer mode still, but Wittle Pecan is ready for Halloween and dressing up is one of his favorite fun things to do! He's been counting the "sleeps" (marking off the days on a calendar) until he visits Indiana! As for Princess Rose... I can't wait to hold that cutest baby in the whole world once again!! </span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #fff2cc;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM7RY5c2Alv2bcHzxzGBY5K7guCIBT1T70jmYPe5T84OYFebmdYTGHcl4t6tgouC-knm9uhWzhNOKiw2_wxOaOBqNd4QpVkWBo-j634n6FahqncRCPFAHyyIV2D5EiCB5PC5H_Trto-KIiOFEnUZswDyYKvQCi7_6z7iT48oQEbxmIBHI1-V-krCya0aw/s3231/Copy%20of%20IMG_6883%20%20%201A%20%20%20David%20turned%2061%20on%20Sept%2015%202023.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

While it wasn't as scary during the daylight, the stones were beyond COOL and included one honored American Revolutionary Veteran Soldier! One of our own is right behind our house. Most of them date into the 1800's and the folk are actually from lower down the ridge nearer to the Wabash River. People buried their dead up higher in case of (usual back then) flooding of the Wabash. Time has taken its toll on most of the stones, but there is a group who are interested in taking the time to put it all back together; piecing each stone together and into it's probable place. The forest changes with time from year to year, and is never the same. Earthquakes (yes, we've had a few in my lifetime here), floods, fallen trees, fire, drought, tornados, and animals, all count in on the changes. Not to mention the human presence, or course, probably counts the most in change. So the photos show how spread out and knocked around the cemetery here is. One of my favorite stones belongs to a man who was alive during the Revolutionary War, and it will be interesting to find out if it's recorded somewhere and he turns out to be a RW Veteran.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They know the hour is late for them now and I find myself swatting sweat bees and constantly swiping down cobwebs off the porches. School has already been in session for the past month, but what's different is most places that were open for the summer, are now closed. Everyone tries to get in one last "hurrah" over Labor Day Weekend, and we were no exception- taking off with the camper to Salamonie State Park with some of our Besties. It's only an hour or so from home, but we'd never visited that area and the town of Wabash much, other than a funeral once. It was a fun weekend filled with hot, sunny weather which produced beautiful sunsets. We got in a few walks and even decorated Hawaiian for supper one evening and I even got in some time at the beach on the lake there. The internet was sparse at best, but we did get updated pictures from the Grandbabies: Peanut got a haircut, and both he and Princess Pistachio walked the underpass to Canal Park after Pizza. Pecan and Princess Rose called to let me know they are counting the days (15 now) till they come down to Indiana- very excited to see both sides of their family! </span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Owner Linda Coughlin has our Design Team right on top of things with the new theme for this next 2 weeks: "Fall Colors"! I don't normally go outside Tim Holtz very often, but when I saw Stamperia's new line of papers, I just had to grab the 12x12 set of "Sunflower Art". Come along with me and you'll see what I paired it up with to make a fall birthday gift for one of my Besties.

The 8th also happened to be the first day of school for our older 2 Grandbabies, with Peanut headed to "the big school" for Kindergarten, and Princess Pistachio was excited for her last year of Preschool being in the "bigger" class this year. We thoroughly enjoyed all the pics and news of their big day as we relaxed in our hotel room. The 9th was spent at the Falls- with so many beautiful, breathtaking views like no other! We rode Maid of the Mist into Horseshoe Falls and the power of the water there, not to mention being inside the rainbow, is surreal! It also does things to your hair. Let's just forget the little incident where I buzzed right through the grates to Canada in order to view the Rainbow Bridge... with my passport left in the car. A slight detainment and then I was free to go since I do have a passport. It was just ... in the car. Two other folks did the same thing- both in front of and behind me. Anyway! Then it was pack back up on Thursday, August 10th to head up to Oswego- not too far up further along Lake Ontario. We met up with the younger set of Kids (who were celebrating their 10th Anniversary that very day) and grabbed up the 2 younger Grandbabies for the drive further north to the rental house they secured in the Fingerlakes area along Lake Ontario. The rental was actually an old cow barn built in 1835 which was refurbished (amaaazingly!) perfectly primitive, with all the old wood being redone to make a very roomy 2-floored, 3 bedroom, 2 &1/2 bath AirBandB. The next day, Aug. 11th, we drove to Sacket's Harbor, the site of one of the battles of 1813 (War of 1812). A great place to see; the home of Ulysses S. Grant, with his Honor Roll flag hanging on one of the poles in the town. Next day, the 12th, we headed up further north to Clayton, NY- with Canadian border all along the waterway port there. Another awesome village where Little Pecan wasn't too upset to be in the rain... not when you have the main street in the town named after you! We headed back to the rental and I ran down to the edge of the Lake O to take some nice photos of the spectacular clouds. Good thing I kept my eye on the clouds behind me, and got back in time for a huge storm to nearly blow all the deck furniture away. But afterwards, the double-rainbowed view from our deck was breathtaking! On the 13th, we headed back to Oswego. The rest of that week included trips to Fair Haven State Park for a beach day and a visit to Oswego Children's Museum. But the highlight of that week was Princess Judith Rose's 1st Birthday. What can I say, except that this last Grandchild simply completes our family and I have all I can ask for in these 4 wonderfully beautiful, smart, loving, and kind GOD-created and GOD-gifted Grandchildren!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

W</span><span>ho knew that in August, 2023:</span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">1) I kept finding little decoration red pip berries on the floor of my Guest Room because getting bumped by cleaning, Grandbabies picking them for fun, and general use of the trundle day bed they've been on for years now. You know me: I save everything, and these got dropped into the "everything drawer" of my Craft Room. They looked like tiny apples and that stuck in my mind all summer long while I collected Mini Fashion purses.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">2) Several of our dear friends are going through some tough times, physically. If you'd told me 30 years ago that you knew someone with brain cancer, I'd have been awed by that- it was surreal then. But now, ask me how many people I know who have brain cancer and I can count them off and run out of fingers on my hand. One dear, GODly man who welcomed us right away on our first visit to our church years ago, lays in the last stages now. He was only diagnosed from a sudden fall in May, earlier this year. And a couple of weeks ago, one of our Besties had surgery to remove cancer (found almost on happenstance) and suffered a stroke in the middle of the night after being released home. The ChiefHubby went to help and get both our Besties to the Emergency Room.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">3) August has been the busiest month of a very busy summer. Between Dr visits for each of us having a few little issues (I'll let that lie there for now), we've been trying to keep up with our own family as well as help out everyone else wherever we can. While we've been able to enjoy seeing some spectacular places, be with our four beautiful Grandbabies and spend some quality time with our grown Kids, we keep our focus on GOD's Plan- for our good and His great glory!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;">T</b><span>he long wait is over: Tim Holtz Chapter 3 Dies for Halloween are at <a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/">The Funkie Junkie Boutique</a> and Linda's busy taking orders and getting them out as fast as they come in!

The ChiefHubby and I are back up in New York again and currently stopped off to see Niagra Falls for a couple of days before heading further north to Oswego, meet up with the younger set of Kids and Grandbabies, and travel up to a rental house on Lake Ontario for a week's vacation for them to celebrate their 10th Wedding Anniversary (Thursday; August 10th) and us to spend some long-awaited time with Little Man Pecan and Princess Rose. We were told over Facetime that Princess actually took her first step last Friday! I'm so excited to see this milestone and celebrate her first birthday the next week (Wednesday, August 16th)! After all that, once we're back home in Indiana, it will be catching up with house cleaning and give some needed attention to my flowers before they are gone for another year's ending. We'd gotten home from the Florida house and that weekend, traveled to Hillsboro, Ohio, in a caravan of 4 camper RVs for the Annual P2P Family Retreat Camp. Then it was a week at home before we headed down to Madison, Indiana, taking ChiefHubby's Aunt Ruth Ann along to attend the funeral of her Sister-In-Law (CheifHubby's Aunt) who survived since the accidental </span><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">jet plane crash</span><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;"> death of her USAF Husband in 1968. She'd finished raising his 3 Cousins and she had a good-sized number of Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren celebrating her burial on what would've been her 88th birthday- Monday, August 7th.</span></span></span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span><b style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">T</b><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;">onight (Tuesday, August 8th) was a big night for our oldest Grandchild: he met his Kindergarten Teacher and off he goes tomorrow (Wednesday, 9th) for his first day. He's successfully hurdled </span><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">over Preschool</span><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;"> and on to the Big School.... while I smile through my tears. It's always a GOOD thing when time passes and changes happen. We WANT children to grow! Because the opposite is to not grow and that's not the description of "life" and "living". Numbers are very important: they tell how old (or young) you are. Numbers hold memories of years gone by and there's no stopping time since only GOD controls that. Numbers can bring fun, like the days of "endless summer". or they can bring frustration; making winter seem just as endless. Numbers are a big part of GOD's plan for us (The BIBLE proves this). The numbers we use, help us to mark each celebration, birth, marriage, death, or simply find our way across the country via numbered roads; each one is important in keeping order in our world. There are numbers for keeping ourselves busy with work, school, and play as the clock hands pass around to land on those magical numbers that tell us we can finally go home and be together once again. Little Pecan, Jamie has been counting down the days for over a month and a half and tonight was so excited to be down to "TWO DAYS!" till we're on his doorstep waiting for him to fly into our arms, and if I'm blessed... and I know I am.... Princess Rose might just toddle over to me for a "pickmeup". The number of days will pass by too fast, in moho, and I'll be penciling in the next time's visit, but I am grateful for any numbers that come my way!</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwWRQ64vmn1EZwPE7V7-eSImbAbdwpJfAMbHtlZNCJXObB72_6rCuCpYwIEE5lh5AjGPU9DIT1iJgKZKH2MarqGxS0BGOYFxhSqdysZp8OZcrRlZGgIVKuFxn40khZ0cREBkaxTqCYuYMbdVY_k4rYIwF9yZ_vvO1SOjSy_LjHrYjPobaC3ELj5sDsbFQ/s3594/Copy%20of%20IMG_4002%20%20%201A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3594" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwWRQ64vmn1EZwPE7V7-eSImbAbdwpJfAMbHtlZNCJXObB72_6rCuCpYwIEE5lh5AjGPU9DIT1iJgKZKH2MarqGxS0BGOYFxhSqdysZp8OZcrRlZGgIVKuFxn40khZ0cREBkaxTqCYuYMbdVY_k4rYIwF9yZ_vvO1SOjSy_LjHrYjPobaC3ELj5sDsbFQ/w336-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_4002%20%20%201A.JPG" width="336" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYZxr3gH4xdDTO4oSJG9MBJpI7awh9pUAeI3zddntNGKkSh4HJhySJRf53Wp2275Ejg95xtQNN6T0KyDssQPrT0guGOQH1ARtQNd8_w_3TKUCLTpNpHKz4W9FcNJj_85pz6XSEpPkK3cYjqy0TC6JiYhAeH_zRklOrjhemfb-NzsRqTF02XdpGmDrrBE0/s920/Copy%20of%20IMG_3697%20%20%203A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="920" data-original-width="674" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYZxr3gH4xdDTO4oSJG9MBJpI7awh9pUAeI3zddntNGKkSh4HJhySJRf53Wp2275Ejg95xtQNN6T0KyDssQPrT0guGOQH1ARtQNd8_w_3TKUCLTpNpHKz4W9FcNJj_85pz6XSEpPkK3cYjqy0TC6JiYhAeH_zRklOrjhemfb-NzsRqTF02XdpGmDrrBE0/w293-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_3697%20%20%203A.jpg" width="293" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMISHwZZTdRmY2QQYCVzXd1aMLkgzLujY8jOVWLboOlUFIvlJdSez_duAlBQ2upDM80FJWjeXkmhgcAa14lGtlXRRPaiAEKXmCad6AZmkyBS0GMAqndxueDIUNrL9GBmQo0X3BPJHWzkLexSOzt-vIqJoddo0yDuEUonNDwx85ycLvV6y7UyXbPOtVjGM/s899/Copy%20of%20IMG_3699%20%20%20%204A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="678" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMISHwZZTdRmY2QQYCVzXd1aMLkgzLujY8jOVWLboOlUFIvlJdSez_duAlBQ2upDM80FJWjeXkmhgcAa14lGtlXRRPaiAEKXmCad6AZmkyBS0GMAqndxueDIUNrL9GBmQo0X3BPJHWzkLexSOzt-vIqJoddo0yDuEUonNDwx85ycLvV6y7UyXbPOtVjGM/w301-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_3699%20%20%20%204A.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofLcQPY4_j8Y9Ud9KNW3GC-sHn0LOVtSKm0vtlyaJWRVTrSDrwqJmnvUSY6HdCPt6mVl6BlAFY6Prnmbn5Lylya4r48wTH3qBrgHXJ1YiVBipDl5uUXPlUuxDFyq1Eg3G74fP6AKF3JpSqBo-8pOGY-np-h7K_vvwIe_JOXcbjtQE5PymJgvluGgAjzc/s720/Copy%20of%20IMG_3702%20%20%205A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="589" data-original-width="720" height="525" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofLcQPY4_j8Y9Ud9KNW3GC-sHn0LOVtSKm0vtlyaJWRVTrSDrwqJmnvUSY6HdCPt6mVl6BlAFY6Prnmbn5Lylya4r48wTH3qBrgHXJ1YiVBipDl5uUXPlUuxDFyq1Eg3G74fP6AKF3JpSqBo-8pOGY-np-h7K_vvwIe_JOXcbjtQE5PymJgvluGgAjzc/w640-h525/Copy%20of%20IMG_3702%20%20%205A.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxg7KslqPM7n8EQdj1sqqbIVwbSLvrApvYBEFFC100rXASphrN7B2L5Rn9FzB-z8rqarv0QjOGh4l_bd33etKKRBYewpx50ZtATVNzxmoRptyVdAIyIFvTqPUD0Vi3kLybOk1S4m6NGbjhV2ybYVrqJSIFGDeOv210x5oHJ-w5LFn3VazquzrQOaDIeN8/s2381/Copy%20of%20IMG_3844%20%20%206A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2381" data-original-width="2201" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxg7KslqPM7n8EQdj1sqqbIVwbSLvrApvYBEFFC100rXASphrN7B2L5Rn9FzB-z8rqarv0QjOGh4l_bd33etKKRBYewpx50ZtATVNzxmoRptyVdAIyIFvTqPUD0Vi3kLybOk1S4m6NGbjhV2ybYVrqJSIFGDeOv210x5oHJ-w5LFn3VazquzrQOaDIeN8/w370-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_3844%20%20%206A.JPG" width="370" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #b6d7a8; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"> A</b><span style="color: #b6d7a8; text-align: left;">ugust is bringing you tons of new Tim Holtz products and I can't wait to try them out!

My eyes spied a few packages of Tim's IdeaOlogy Number Blocks.... and then some Odds and Ends... and since I still had some of the Distress Paints still on my desk from the last Inspiration Ave make (<a href="https://larimore2.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-funkie-junkie-boutique-inspiration_25.html">click here if you missed it</a>)... a light bulb went off in my head because this was the perfect mix for the theme covering this next 2-weeks: "<a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/">By the Numbers</a>"!

I've said it before thousands of times; there's simply nothing wrong with the old-fashioned summer that runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day and all the days between those 2 holidays belongs strictly to KIDS. Guess it's the kid in me that makes this one time stay-at-home-Mom think that we need to just let kids be kids and The LORD will make everything else fall into the right place. Summer is the time to relax and let go- lax bedtimes and sleeping in, sleep-overs, and late evening lightning bug chases, days of pool time (and no indoor showers or baths with so much chlorine time), picnics, and family gatherings. Those are the things that no amount of money can buy.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;">T</b>he ChiefHubby and I just celebrated our 39th Wedding Anniversary (plus 2 years of dating before that) on July 14th. Since the younger kids had to change their plans on coming to Indiana in July, we decided to take a trip down to the Florida house and relax a bit. Well... that was the PLAN, anyway. It's not like going to a hotel- you have to unpack what you need and set up your house again for use. Throughout our stay, the huge storms just kept rolling through, and if you've not been to sea-level during a storm, you're in for a scare: lightning hits the ground quite often, and quite nearby. So on that first Sunday after worship, we were all standing around and talking, waiting to head over to Maw-Maw Dixon's house for lunch together with the family, when the power went in and out several times before going out altogether. When we got back to our place in the late afternoon, we found ourselves still without power while everyone else was back on. The surge blew out our main component and with it; our main AC and lights. It was in the 90's and Florida monsoons like this are extremely muggy. Oh, joy! It took 3 days for the new component and a huge surge protector to arrive. In the meantime, I went back and forth to the beach on my own, enjoying the huge surf sent in by all the weather off -and on- the coastline. The crowd was there but I managed to get in some really great, powerful waves! Windsurfing on the lake was out- it was too extreme heat to be wearing a life jacket, no matter how cooling the wind was. So I stuck it out , swimming with the sharks and black bears, at the beaches until incoming storms chased me away. (Google shark and black bear sightings at my beach: Destin Beaches.) This led me to the craft I'm sharing with you on this post... from my happy place!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6kmBlLnWtivtjjoMShmuhKYg-NjB5x2Be2ZnfW2hG2Pm7AdQkPnluIPq8C3oHPeptwJi-zBN8meRjQnTSpRuau3faT676ikf9syiJB-N8wSYnxdHF2hF2WBX7ErQcdi9cLDsXiG8je6eJfoS_0M6YfYM6_SvLWJhG075Z0z-3U9fZc1WsmrD4n8KA15o/s960/Copy%20of%20IMG_3688%20%20%201A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

"Distressed About Paints"! Lyla leading off here once again, and if you'll remember: July is my favorite month and that usually shows up in all my creative makes during this time of year. When Linda, owner of <a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/">The Funkie Junkie Boutique</a> put out a challenge to the Design Team for using Distress Paints, I was disappointed at first because painting is not one of my best forms of art and the thought crossed my mind that this was going to be a total flop from me. But as I went through my drawer of Tim Holtz items, I realized that I use Distress Paints quite a lot more than I thought. I took that revelation further with the idea that this project didn't need to be solely Distress Paints, but the use of any DP mixed in with any type of paste medium, certainly brings any plain product up to a new level. Let's roll on and see where this project ended up! </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qlumgyi9FVEa4TPr_eoyp-11JPZoa9iHPLiUknjTg7X6rILFmKLtwUbeDN5FWcNYwzd5GX3jlTItNlCi_CX1kr7_9b_NTNkK4ncTh1j-iGm8mYY02Oqr_XFYJNrCO9jCaxkJQouji9f8xL_rTTl2emM2ixGv6gH4ZpCe0yavEaDDYe_8Gu7AYbqs5mU/s1099/Copy%20of%20IMG_3072%20%20%201%20Start%20Materials%201.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

But what a whirlwind that led up to our leaving,,,</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> W</b>e had a great 4th of July holiday with all our Besties gathered at our Indiana place for a Fish Fry. Our older kids brought the older Grandbabies, and we met back up with them down at their town for spectacular fireworks show. Peanut can see the fireworks better now without squinting now: having gotten his first eyeglasses just a couple weeks ago. The younger kids made sure to send and post the younger Grandbabies having fun at the Oswego, NY July 4th Parade, and the picnic they had with their family/friends. Since they couldn't make it back to Indiana as previously planned, we decided to take that time to run down for a bit of a vacation. Or so that was the plan... a huge storm caused an electrical surge that shorted out the main component of our house. Thankfully, we have a Bestie who is an Electrician (as is our own older Son), and that comes in handy; very much! Everyone came over and helped get us rigged up, but it's sloooooow going until the new component gets here on Wednesday the 12th. The new surge protector got here today. Here I was all geared up with my crafting done an entire 2 weeks ago, thinking this time I'd have it all ready. Riiiiiight. Here I am typing this up LATE again. I did manage to get quite a lot done up in Indiana before we left, including: getting my sailboat out and getting another Big Shot ordered. It's actually a Foldaway so I can take it south (and any other direction) with me. I am SO in LOVE with the Big Shot Plus, and I have a Tim Holtz Vagabond for all my heavy-duty (or 100plus cuts) needs. The Vagabond is a great backup as well. I was sad to get down here and just throw out my 15-year-old black Big Shot machine; simply because they will no longer send replacement parts! I went through replacement gears & another time was the handle pin, and Sizzix was beyond helpful, but now they are opting not to replace parts for our own 'protection'. That makes me sad. I'm tearing that old one apart for any usuable pieces and parts.</span></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> M</span>eanwhile, summer is in full FUN swing!</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The dry weather has kept me watering all our plants and flowers several times a week, as well as keeping the pool level up. We've already attended three family reunions, and a couple of cookouts, and as of this typing; the last of the Kids celebrated a birthday on Monday, June 26th. Younger Daughter, Holli, turned 32 and that's the last birthday in our family until the next run of August, September, October, and November birthdays. She's been sending pictures/videos of Princess Rose- who's just about ready to walk on her own- and photos taken by Jamie with their cell phones. I kid you not: that child has a TALENT already with a camera. He demonstrated it to me while I was up there with him in May, and he's only getting better with it. He's figured out a few things on an iPhone that even I haven't tried yet. His B/W photos are really something- especially for a 3 yr old! I've been trying to make time to add files for the kids to keep their own photography in, but it keep slipping away from me. The wild black raspberries have turned and are in full picking season now, so I take a few hours each day to walk the vines and hopefully fill a few gallons for the freezer. After the rain yesterday (finally!) the berries are doing much better than they were. Princess Chloe picks pretty fast, but most of her pickings go to her tummy instead of the freezer, lol. And Peanut got to attend his first Camp session at The ARK with Papaw for Kindergarteners with a Grandparent. He really liked it... up until the zip line. Then he LOVED IT! In fact, he rode the zip line four times! After returning the older Grandbabies back home, it was time for the ChiefHubby to head back to The Ark for the week to help with the teens at Jungle Huts. He did all the cooking for them and his only refusal was use of a hammock- he took his cot to sleep on. The last day had them giving him their love in the form of pies in the face. He keeps saying I need to go with, next year. MmmHmmmm..... ;)</span></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaJmJtQEUHZp_qaRZ2XNkOKhjyv08IoEl6wXnOBH-gk3T6nJ2khx-kEVs3a8Z3iwG5CNIfke2wOYVll7ia3j6j24cuI7ZmpiFHhtKAYJGqh1ad-U9OyZwSzDyWhlVGzd_OsEc05fGW62xAeZVNx9hb2ac1YGCaewW1Q_Lsx6j6GF6bG7tlqwXZfUR7PGA/s750/Copy%20of%20IMG_2867%20%20%201A%20%20%20Holli%2032%20BDay%2006262023.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

For the next two weeks, <a href="ttps://www.thefunkiejunkie.com">The Funkie Junkie Boutique</a> Design Team is showing off their favorite Tim Holtz products of 2023- so far! Tim usually comes out with more new items, especially as Fall approaches. This lull in the release cycle gives us a chance to go back and play with the things we barely had time to do more than just one project with. Personally, I love these "re-dos" because it gives me a chance to try out that design that popped into my head while crafting the one that made it to posting. Once again; I've got more than one fave product and I can't wait to show you what I did this time with it! Scroll down with me, and we'll look together!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPPFvgj-oMVTUKg41wR6VEC_6rOwKlupj8WbCOk-4shovDcz7MeYuaNT87h6nwKki3pJPVXhF0OnJ10qEifXNF4qahMJKNJt5eHljrfVBKaV-8Y31vuJfMGX7JWfJtWHxFoDI_hQVe4XFvHbG5CGkYY-BJclhZPDdBQL_DxpwV7Onmm_i0mH8z9tfCXg/s4032/Copy%20of%20IMG_0178%20%20%201%20%20Start%20%20%20TFJB%20Happy%20Mail%20%20%20FOCUS%20on%20New%20TH%20Stamp%20Set%20The%20Inspector.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #f4cccc;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPPFvgj-oMVTUKg41wR6VEC_6rOwKlupj8WbCOk-4shovDcz7MeYuaNT87h6nwKki3pJPVXhF0OnJ10qEifXNF4qahMJKNJt5eHljrfVBKaV-8Y31vuJfMGX7JWfJtWHxFoDI_hQVe4XFvHbG5CGkYY-BJclhZPDdBQL_DxpwV7Onmm_i0mH8z9tfCXg/w400-h300/Copy%20of%20IMG_0178%20%20%201%20%20Start%20%20%20TFJB%20Happy%20Mail%20%20%20FOCUS%20on%20New%20TH%20Stamp%20Set%20The%20Inspector.JPG" width="400" id="id_4242_5e2_d6d0_9942" style="width: 400px; height: auto;"></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f4cccc;">From the time I saw the new TH The Inspector Stamp Set, I knew it was going to be a fave of mine!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f4cccc;">The intricate detailing of this stamp is sooo good!

I'm excited to use any of the Etcetera, and building up layers is always so FUN!

(I like to use my rolling pin for this part.) Don't wait- run it through your machine with whatever embossing folders you're using. For mine, I'm using an older plain Houndstooth embosser and also the newer Tim Holtz Industrious 3D Folder- one per side.</span></div><span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While I adore the heat of these months, we desperately needed some rain. The grass and fields were stressed and I ended up watering all my plants nearly every day until yesterday when the sky finally opened up for a good day's soaking. </span><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> I</b> was able to do something I've wanted to do for a long time now: a re-do of my craft studio from plastic drawer sets to real metal cabinets. While up in New York last month, I found a lateral filing cabinet online from a student at Purdue University and made arrangements to pick it up once I got back to Indiana. Before I was able to go get it, I happened upon another cabinet that sounded like it would fit my needs for all my inks, tools, tapes, glues, etc. So the ChiefHubby spent a Saturday afternoon running me to West Lafayette where both cabinets were. I got to work after we got home with them, cleaning them and getting all my stuff out of the plastics and going through another 'purge' of unnecessary trash. As soon as I got finished, I knew I wanted to add another lateral set on top of the one I just got. As luck would have it; I found it just a couple days after and it was actually closer to us this time. Another trip, another cleaning and rearranging, and I'm all set once again. I like the items I have surrounded myself with that give me inspiration and ideas for my kind of style of crafting, and the new cabinets give me an ease of opening and closing drawers that my RA hands were having so much trouble with for some time now. I like the 'clean' look of the metal and yet- that bit of age and distress to them... very cool indeed!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiznTc9z-cpuQkGBKuNeZtzZrwAnvPz1nJEvP8miOmzgzwFLpTT0mqhsUw-acs3vyp4-ZbZGh4BgBmeL-bMs9-m0og09SUhRLYEUVyzbbgkVBx_NYFQ4pDLUqG6P0EJHqsT46I1Xcy0CI8lAb8SVKKGxig_zCedVwpgGMkb92uqpmTIwV97DWmSoArP/s4032/Copy%20of%20IMG_2495%20%20%202A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

He was best known in the Acting world for his portrayal of Captain "Cap" Hank Stanley on "EMERGENCY!" (1972-1979). After that, he was mostly a Writer, having written more popular stories, movies, etc, than most people are aware of. His last trip out to LA County's Fire Museum in Bellflower, CA, he signed his name to the door of famous Engine 51 (the Ward LaFrance which replaced the open-fronted Crown Engine 51). That show played a big part in my life in several ways, and it changed the lives of everyone in the U.S. when it comes to Emergency Medical Services.</span><p></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> I</span></b> barely keep up with everything these days, but I'm having fun. We did 2 trips out in the boat to fish. Caught 38 Crappie last Sunday evening and the Wednesday after that, caught 32. Not including the 2 Bass that got away from my Bestie, after my big catch. The first holiday of the Summer found us back on the road again- camping at Deer Creek Park. We had </span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">8 campers altogether as most of our Indiana Besties joined us. I used some of that time to finish up this project which has been in the making for MONTHS! I started it while still in Florida and kept adding to it as I traveled across the eastern US from Florida, to Indiana, to New York, and back to Indiana again.</span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> </span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> I keep up with one set of Grandbabies while I am with the other set. The kids will text me things that the Grandbabies say, and some of it definitely reminds me that "children say the darnedest things"!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPVqnbPbGT38HpowtWjVVP451WJ5rbw9XF83XbEBY6m6ffOMzlzvbLy2-SzYjDjxeMKedimXLd6yVwbQlxP8ljzxX6Zri2d0A83ecd3S89wQxd6RKkSFJJSd3iz22LoDVyjeG1asc80q_8D8XOdlPcfgPq_sKD2AKF0Efvp7zmsxI01RjR_VBxuN3/s4032/Copy%20of%20IMG_2119%20%20%203A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

One of those hard-fought-for freedoms is being able to travel and see the wonders of our world- what a great blessing! Out of the past 8 months, I have traveled/lived elsewhere for 6 of those months! This project really does fit the theme for this next to weeks here on Inspiration Ave: "Get Ready To Travel!" I've got a lot of photos here and have included a few tips for you as well.

I do my best every spring to catch it all happening in the act, but that seldom works. I notice tiny buds one day and the next, the leaves are furled out; we go from bare trees to full, green canopies. The Crab Apple Tree blooms are nothing short of amazing here! If only the warm air would decide to stay up here in New York; it swings from too chilly to too hot right now. And not one single mushroom to be found up here, either. Meanwhile, back in Indiana, they're having a record finding of morels and I'm still seeing them in my dreams!</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> I</b> may have missed out on the rest of the shrooming season, but I was overjoyed to not miss out on the official crawling/standing status of Princess Rose- just a couple weeks before she turned 9 months (May 16th)! She was so proud of herself! And she shocked her parents when they found her on top of the play table all by herself the very next day! She's a go-getter, like her cousin, Princess Pistachio. There'll be no stopping them now. I missed out on Grandparent's Day with Peanut and Princess at their Indiana preschool but was able to enjoy teaching Pecan how to fly a kite- and take it for walks over Lake Ontario's shoreline. Yes, it did slip away from us, once- all over the boatyard. That was a lesson in walking floating docks for Pecan and I was pleased to see Grandchild No.3 -like Nos. 1 & 2- also has sea legs like his Memaw. I got 3 weeks in of spending time with them (rebonding with Princess Rose) and taking them to the parks. I also got to have 2 free days while they all took a mini-vacation to a rental in Auburn. I not only did some direly needed clothes shopping (I'm not a clothes girl), but did some serioous walking milage and finally got to try out a Bird. Now those are Da BOMB in fun!!! I'll be doing that more!!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi12yf6_8K5JtbmzZPDWEM4zUmE4krP3MCMQxAwmVovfJUVNd3sHZYkoe3YJi1L2NvApjnFJHjTzAYuf4RsZZsSVUv9cM3gXRwMaB348UhwkxNNMvXnCjCpGdRuYO4tWqEHrUUtXdyeVqNbrLpEIm5-ST4BEPcSstz6ehnlzthWARyB_DXDshvlVzgD/s3468/Copy%20of%20IMG_1693%20%20%204A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

The weather hasn't cooperated much with getting outside, but it's supposed to stop raining and warm up some. The ChiefHubby went back home to Indiana and reported in that it's the same weather there. He's hoping to check back into our "patch" after a surprising find of Indiana morel mushrooms- 107 of them to be exact- in only a 5-minute walk last week. I wasn't expecting to find anything yet, since it was still a bit dryer than usual for my finds. The dates were right, but it was too chilly out as well. But I decided to take a "fast 5-minute walk to just be sure". I got as far as the first 3 of those minutes when I spied a nice huge shroom. Always one to follow the adage of "there's always more if there's ONE"...I spied another... and another... and I nearly passed out when I took a good look all around me and found myself in the middle of a MOTHERLODE! That's only happened a hand full of times in my lifetime of shrooming, but when it has happened, it's quite exhilarating! I used to take HunniPi with me all the time, up to one point when she decided the morels were for peeing on. That was her last trip. I mean, thanks for helping find one, PuppiPi, but that's the line drawn for me. (I still miss her dearly.) I tried to get all of them into my arms as I plucked them up, but they were all so big (final measurements came to almost all 4-6 inches with the largest 2 being 7 1/2 inches each), I could only carry a few at a time. I certainly was not expecting to actually find one in the chill of the day, so I had nothing but an extra T-shirt to take off and pile them onto. I texted the ChiefHubby to round up Peanut and Princess (who were spending the afternoon with us) and come back to help me. Once they got within 20 feet of me, they were also finding a bunch themselves that I hadn't gotten to yet. Since we were leaving the next day for NY, there was no way for us to process so many of them, and we were able to share the bounty with some of our neighbors/friends close by, then took 3 prepped bags of them in salt water up to NY.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It being my first baby, I really had no idea what was happening, but everyone was excited- except me. I was more frightened than anything else. I remember the ChiefHubby picking me up- having left work early himself that evening- and holding my hand on the way to the hospital the next city over. "Well, this is it- we're almost at the end," to which he replied "Nope; it's only BEGINNING," and so it was! Brian was born at 4:45am on that next day, Tuesday, May 2nd. He was a full month early- which was part of my fears the night before- at 6 lbs 15 oz & 19 inches long. Others may have kept comparing his tiny stature at birth to their normal-gestation-baby, but Brian caught up quickly. His size didn't have anyone picking on him all through school and by the time he was 17 with a 6 ft 1 inch frame (which is thwarted by the higher-raised measuring stick in the <br /> photo), he carried that 6 foot stuffed Mickey Mouse over his shoulder. The first kid is always the guinea pig who breaks in the Parents and then later breaks their hearts when he's the first to leave the nest. The nervousness of being a new Mom and new Dad gets worn away by that first baby. Brian was our big 'teddy bear' and was always great with younger kids than himself. Brett actually did the picking on his older brother- which brought a lot of fun with it... and a broken bed frame or two from jumping & tackling between 3 BIG kids: Brian, Brett, and DAD! I/m so very proud of the man Brian has become! He's fought his way and has achieved quite a lot more than most at his age. More than anything; he is Daddy to his 2 precious children who adore him! They had help from Mommy getting a cake and singing "Happy Birthday" to him over last weekend. The younger Grandbabies will have helped me sing "Happy 34th Birthday" to him via Facetime on Tuesday.</span></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgKmaaWcs4h2KIWvSD7Ai7Rr5_evZe4Iay12X1ZqWrckCTnLE_YhNXJ5anWFNdS8Hvsthj3jjnNCzVeoo2yEL9ydM3Lglk1mYsrsVcqD9rN9JVLcDJDqKmTPWUst3EEGUewxQeN2tix1gmG0GvTPUPG8t8T5RW2cqb1R-wDCi4Gz1rnElKWwFnpCo/s1860/Copy%20of%20Brian%20Mickey%20Pic%201%20%20%20%208A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1860" data-original-width="1365" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgKmaaWcs4h2KIWvSD7Ai7Rr5_evZe4Iay12X1ZqWrckCTnLE_YhNXJ5anWFNdS8Hvsthj3jjnNCzVeoo2yEL9ydM3Lglk1mYsrsVcqD9rN9JVLcDJDqKmTPWUst3EEGUewxQeN2tix1gmG0GvTPUPG8t8T5RW2cqb1R-wDCi4Gz1rnElKWwFnpCo/w294-h400/Copy%20of%20Brian%20Mickey%20Pic%201%20%20%20%208A.jpg" width="294" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj31gv3_ekphmPtEJsmlRw4qWJQ3utAp9vpkz9JzY7ldft8bKDsyLP8DFBuHB8QY7izu44MgRL8v5sW7J86MPDKjd5J5kwbPjJp6rb5-QWnj9PoG93MzLSI8Hd0H_5g9xXGguXo9F2zg-XQ3otPb1vohT346Q_xDJYz5OvUc2AT3gkdW8gnizLZXxLX/s748/Copy%20of%20IMG_E0499%20%20%2010A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><img border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="748" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj31gv3_ekphmPtEJsmlRw4qWJQ3utAp9vpkz9JzY7ldft8bKDsyLP8DFBuHB8QY7izu44MgRL8v5sW7J86MPDKjd5J5kwbPjJp6rb5-QWnj9PoG93MzLSI8Hd0H_5g9xXGguXo9F2zg-XQ3otPb1vohT346Q_xDJYz5OvUc2AT3gkdW8gnizLZXxLX/s320/Copy%20of%20IMG_E0499%20%20%2010A.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXBr81mZqDvWRcKjLDixM5hzzbqkcsUMEd6sdyYke7gou9u2UEuzQZfVwe80agxUkyU4_WWWlxsi-S6MjmIwxYCEFbH3RKohp48rwvmLbXIQVpdu4bv2MkVzXel81tN7bzaEC-eDMklzBa3ijaT_aSBk60ZTjKKq955fs5d93UWfZ06hEiwzMf0Jck/s1234/Copy%20of%20IMG_E0497%20%20%2011A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1234" data-original-width="1170" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXBr81mZqDvWRcKjLDixM5hzzbqkcsUMEd6sdyYke7gou9u2UEuzQZfVwe80agxUkyU4_WWWlxsi-S6MjmIwxYCEFbH3RKohp48rwvmLbXIQVpdu4bv2MkVzXel81tN7bzaEC-eDMklzBa3ijaT_aSBk60ZTjKKq955fs5d93UWfZ06hEiwzMf0Jck/w379-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_E0497%20%20%2011A.JPG" width="379" /></span></a></div><p><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> O</b><span>f course, I'm keeping up with my crafting while I am up here in New York again- even as busy as I am with the Grandbabies! And with both my Sons having had their birthdays within the past 3 weeks of each other (April 14th and May 2nd), it reminds me that I was "Mom" well before I was "Memaw". When my FurryBaby, Hunni Pi, passed a few weeks ago; I caught myself thinking that my "Mom" days were now over. But that's far from true; the real truth is that I will always be a Mom. Once a Mom; always a Mom! Our kids will always need us in some way; whether to advise them, help them in some way, to gather the family together, or just be there for them to know the comfort that we're still here. A Mom's work is never done when it comes to her Children- that love never ends!

The Indiana freeze came back to visit April 17th and 18th. After being in the 80s in Florida, coming back to chilled Indiana, then enjoying the 80s-get-your-air-conditioner-going of teasing Spring, my joints are protesting loudly. I think it was a gift, though, because on April 6th, we laid our Hunni Pi to rest in her own backyard. It was a very tough promise to keep, but once the Dr saw her and measured her heartbeats, his face said it all. She'd had a painful heart murmur and irregular beat (much like my own), but the pain medication was no longer helping her. Fluid was gathering around her heart and once the Dr gave her a relaxer, my poor Hunni Pi was able to lay down and actually give a huge sigh- as if in relief- for the first time in months. The 'choice' was really hers, and she'd been trying to tell us for some time now. Everyone was surprised she'd made it back alive to Indiana. We think she did just so she could come back to her first home where she'd spent her life. I held her tight and sang her song to her as she slipped quietly away when we gave the nod. It's been a tough couple of weeks for us here, and we both catch ourselves- calling to let her out.... pat her head on the way to bed, wake up to sing her song, or swear we feel her fur run past our legs while walking through the house. Easter was a bit subdued for us, but we did celebrate and gladly worship our risen LORD. If not, what's the point of having hope in those treasures laid up in Heaven? Here's a shoutout of "THANK YOU!" to all those who knew Hunni Pi and sent their sweet condolences. One woman who saw our hurt while waiting on Hunni's body, came out to hug us and walked away in their own tears- no words exchanged. Ditto at the Shelter where I dropped off so many worldly belongings she was blessed to be able to have and now share with others who don't have. It felt good to remember we always have her in our hearts!</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> A</b></span>pril 14th has some famous evenings in history; the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the sinking of the Titanic to name a couple. But the most important evening on that date-to our family- is the birth of our younger Son, Brett. He's accomplished more than most Nuclear Engineers have at 31 years old, but we're simply proud of being a wonderful Husband and Father. Nothing makes a parent feel they've done well at raising their children than seeing them raise their own. We've been blessed twice over in that! Brett was a character & life of the party from 1 year old. He had a rough start with severe asthma (which is no longer an issue as of last year), but by year 5, he was blossoming into a little star. He followed his Big Bubby, Brian, as "Teddy Bear #2" as a gentle giant of the class. And now, it's clear that his own two babies are following that same path: gentle giants who are definitely entertaining! I'll be heading up to NY in just a couple weeks and I can't wait to squeeze the younger 2 Grandbabies & catch them up to the older 2 here, and we've got Easter to finish with them, too.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxhzJnrUQgs8dnHWFUfyQ3E6BYyRrJ0mFb5PCU6dXlEH9Oi1-FokdTVk6BVsA0z1U4QQ5I1n6pfK62-jsF0rYYE45lPpyaol8sFDuo6bdS0tQmvcyqv_BWd57FKAwXJxd7gyP_qOxQxv7D9rpQVpjyb28EcKI-ZANzSu8GUshx1we2lW8Su9ezsJlr/s1444/Copy%20of%20IMG_0030%20%20%20%202A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1444" data-original-width="989" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxhzJnrUQgs8dnHWFUfyQ3E6BYyRrJ0mFb5PCU6dXlEH9Oi1-FokdTVk6BVsA0z1U4QQ5I1n6pfK62-jsF0rYYE45lPpyaol8sFDuo6bdS0tQmvcyqv_BWd57FKAwXJxd7gyP_qOxQxv7D9rpQVpjyb28EcKI-ZANzSu8GUshx1we2lW8Su9ezsJlr/w274-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_0030%20%20%20%202A.JPG" width="274" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqRzQlYvHnIJaU5yJCYbdMC536WtpqYY4ef96ESprG70N0y_mbfcxGUnSNqAD_evXm7wJXwyGzlyr4CJmhDTzoQmeQnk3gBeKP0ugfgRaeSZvJ8yVNOQuJFe8j4JRnRhUl39nT77DGl8mJ0yXZ4ogLVcsMBtU5ZXXL1nr8Sx-Fv4TG186L9QAor4K8/s709/Copy%20of%20IMG_0008%20%20%203A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="555" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqRzQlYvHnIJaU5yJCYbdMC536WtpqYY4ef96ESprG70N0y_mbfcxGUnSNqAD_evXm7wJXwyGzlyr4CJmhDTzoQmeQnk3gBeKP0ugfgRaeSZvJ8yVNOQuJFe8j4JRnRhUl39nT77DGl8mJ0yXZ4ogLVcsMBtU5ZXXL1nr8Sx-Fv4TG186L9QAor4K8/w313-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_0008%20%20%203A.JPG" width="313" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_NfQJZyaI90KkbW0D56pfc4PfKm8r_3pyzxz1Y25wqYGgQkdAmJGUaoJnJJEhyvMzdS8NDB_gmJ3YHTv-T30VTozW1caGH00HUyKqBMuE8s-C5qMJzT8CPbunNYpFV5tWbwTYJSiL9z95bY5Lq6imqYVUy5UHI06cFFpZLKRMIOfJ2iTjT3RSq6i/s1448/Copy%20of%20IMG_0012%20%20%204A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1448" data-original-width="1169" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_NfQJZyaI90KkbW0D56pfc4PfKm8r_3pyzxz1Y25wqYGgQkdAmJGUaoJnJJEhyvMzdS8NDB_gmJ3YHTv-T30VTozW1caGH00HUyKqBMuE8s-C5qMJzT8CPbunNYpFV5tWbwTYJSiL9z95bY5Lq6imqYVUy5UHI06cFFpZLKRMIOfJ2iTjT3RSq6i/w323-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_0012%20%20%204A.JPG" width="323" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> <b style="font-size: x-large;">I</b>'m getting back into the crafting mood and making some plans to go along with all the new Tim Holtz stuff coming out.

Unpacking is always the hardest part of any trip, but this time, I'd unpack 20 times if I didn't have to face what we're facing right now. My Helper Dog, Hunni Pi, will be 14 years old on April 29th, and of course, she's slower than she was a year ago, but this past winter has been rough on her. Each month, she's gotten slower and is hurting more in her hips- barely being able to move at times without falling. She made the trip back to Indiana better than we thought she would, but during the last week in Florida, she began to really cling to me. She hasn't let me out of her sight and</span><span style="color: #9fc5e8; text-align: left;"> needs to be next to me or in my lap constantly now. I've thought of this time coming for the past 4 years, since one of her siblings was the first of her litter of 7 to die (from cancer, sadly). </span></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> H</b>unni Pi was born in 2009 from parents who weren't supposed to have been bred together. Her sire was a full bred Chesapeake Bay Retriever and her dam was a mix. The dam was surrendered to a local Veterinarian (for whom one of my Besties works for) and was delivered of 7 pups. They named each after the Vet and his siblings (one of whom was also our Vet for a long time) and the smaller, weakest pup was bumped up against the cage causing her a hematoma that needed to be drained many times. Our Bestie had helped deliver each pup and brought a few of them camping with us one weekend that fall. My Helper Dog at the time</span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">, Nikki B. Claws,</span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> had once been a stray and she was a good barker whenever anyone came around, but she was getting older and I dreaded losing her. When we walked over to see the new pups, they ran back and forth- all except one.

The "No!"s my ChiefHubby said were turning into "Pray about it,"s and later that night, trickled into what we might name her. Before the weekend was over, I was her Momma. She's the only pet we've ever had who didn't go through anything bad in her life; she may still have started out unwelcome and unwanted, but GOD had a good plan for her and that plan included helping me. I am forever grateful for the gift she has been to me these 13 and 1/2 years, but now it's my turn to keep my promise to her and help her. How do you 'plan' this kind of thing? It goes against every fiber of my being. I am a </span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">nurturer and a grower. anything opposite of that feels totally wrong to me. Yet, how can I make her keep going- when the pain medicine no longer helps her? In a perfect world, she would simply fall asleep like Buster did; he made it through the week at the Vet (a victim of one of the first-ever bad treat recalls causing renal failure- the same of which 1 Grandpup died from in 2022 and one recently came too close to death). He was released acting like his old self.... happy to just come home and let go in the night. But perfect endings rarely happen, and I cannot let my puppi pi down. With The LORD's help, I can bear this- only if she can. I know my prayers will be answered and I will One Day be able to see her again because I believe that nothing is impossible if we ask! I can only hope I am worthy of the accounting of her life with me will be good to The LORD's ears.</span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> We'll know the outcome by Wednesday night.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcvS7t9zOgz-0cnoJnAVoDmmsh82j3kry2nCqokQl7yGJHTliMj8eGGGzzTwZQaaJ33voYisqIJRwc3fdNGdCFVChMTYv6NR0qqE6EzzlG78KOevdJG45DuYHXkgqXlTI7ef6GQAuOk35GM9XXTMwP_eYeZSoi5lbsGWfAxEjXUx2glvhWajV1laT/s3825/Copy%20of%20IMG_9737%20%20%2039%20%20%20My%20puppi%20pi%20born%2004292009%20renamed%20Hunni%20Pi%20%20from%20given%20name%20Imy.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3825" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcvS7t9zOgz-0cnoJnAVoDmmsh82j3kry2nCqokQl7yGJHTliMj8eGGGzzTwZQaaJ33voYisqIJRwc3fdNGdCFVChMTYv6NR0qqE6EzzlG78KOevdJG45DuYHXkgqXlTI7ef6GQAuOk35GM9XXTMwP_eYeZSoi5lbsGWfAxEjXUx2glvhWajV1laT/w316-h400/Copy%20of%20IMG_9737%20%20%2039%20%20%20My%20puppi%20pi%20born%2004292009%20renamed%20Hunni%20Pi%20%20from%20given%20name%20Imy.JPG" width="316" /></a></div><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"> A</b><span>s sad as this is for me, I took the time Hunni Pi rested next to me to make this "Tag Team" project for <a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/">The Funkie Junkie Boutique's</a> newest assignment for the <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/">Inspiration Ave</a> blog.
