Six Years Ago Today

Mom...I woke this morning and reached for the phone, then I realized I was dreaming and that God had called you home...six years have gone so rapidly by...memories of you bring tears to my eyes...then I remember all the laughter...fun...and happy times we shared, and I know in my heart of hearts that you will always be there watching over me.

When someone you love becomes a memory...The memory becomes a treasure.

We Love and Miss you mom.

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Come on grammer...pick me up and lets go have some more fun.

By the end of the day we were both exhausted...here he is resting in his rocker...can you see his cute little toes...lol.

Here he is jumping in his jolly jumper...lol...looks like fun...you can see the light on the green thingy turned on when he hit it...that made him jump even harder...lol.

Something distracted him here for a moment and he stopped jumping.





Hey grammer what's this on the mat?




Here he is ready to start jumping again...such a cute face...lol.

Checking out Kenzo and wondering if he wants to play too.

Thanks for dropping by today...I will share the rest of the day with my grandson tomorrow...stay safe if you will be driving in that snow storm...we have a lot of snow and icy rain is expected later this afternoon...tonight the winds are going to be blowing like mad...I can feel the chill in the house already...and have a stampin' good day.

I just had to work with this stick fella...who has gone out to the woods to bring home a tree for his family...don't I have a great imagination...LOL...and look at the puppy with her red collar...she kind of reminds me of my Yukiko.
