HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 ALREADY. out with the old tooth at 10am in with the new flat screen tv at 2pm. got my tooth pulled today so i am on a cool soft diet, that cheese cake in the freezer shall do nicely along with pudding, fruit cocktail, let the party begin. ha ha. i am in no pain though. i have been thinking of a flat screen cuase it is all the buzz anymore and i have used my dvd very few times for 2 years cuase i had to unplug it and plug it in every time i wanted to use the tv or dvd no hook up. i was going to get it as an award for credit card being paid off, but then it would put a big bill on it again, so nora stopped by the other day and said i need a flat screen. the desire excellerated. so i took her with me today and i have been watching tv since. she was able to hook up my dvd so i dont have to mess i just point and click. the rose bowl parade should look great. i dare anyone to have an accident and take out the power during the parade, i am glued the whole three hours. you should all watch it if you dont, amazing the creativity and time put into the all natural products. hgtv has a non commercial program. you all have fun tonight but be safe. and be responsible. the picture of the tv has jimmys wedding dvd playing. i have that one and the coast gaurd graduation. hope that announcement doesnt make me take them back. mom has seen both. may god bless you all.

Grandbaby like Grandmomma! Watch out little Rylie. Can you guess the year? Grandma had this snap shot of Kim in Michigan her senior year. Must have been homecoming night. Kim you look just as good now baby! Can you see your P.O.W. bracelet on your wrist? Now that will age you!! Buy the way Katie couldn't up load this shot so I did it from home.

i am working at putting a picture of kim in 1974 or when ever her senior year was. she as a red striped long pajamas on just like her 1 year old grandaughter. looking good kim hope it will work soon. i think i have to register it with the new computer. deer do not have any place to go lately cuase of tons of houses and town houses going up. i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the 3 grown deer in my parking lot at work. no i am not kidding. i have never seen a parking lot with deer. people need to stop building let the deer live a normal life. happpy new years . will try to get pictures up tommorro. katie

i dont think i took any pictures today, but santa was a very very good santa this year. i opened gifts, then went home and to the cemetary, then back to moms and sermans came and patty, we had more gifts to open, and then macklins came and had more gifts. then i had to work 3 to 7 and went to noras for a while, came home and got my first scrapbook ever i made and showed katie what kind of husband she really has every one was laughing real hard at some of the pictures when they were very small and young. well the hot garden tub is calling me. hope all is well with you, i am hitting the sales tommorro. katie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH and to prove how much i love you i went to get a HUGE bargin. ha ha. this is my christmas bargin. i had a struggle but ended up getting an artificial tree, sorry dad, but nora and mom have artificial trees and our trees are too big or got hit with drought no fear dad patty found a real tree. any way, i got this at 60 % off. from 449.99 to 179.99 it has snow and berrys and pineocones already in place and that is what i fill my holes with with real trees anyway. still sad the tradition is gone but i am not the only one.

dads most special spot was his barn it always makes for a beutiful picture. sunrise always beutiful with snow, snow geese just happened to be flying by when i had the camara out. enjoy wish you all a great holiday. starting to get into the spirit. katie

barneys first snow. we had 2 to 3 inches pure snow this time no sleet as it usually does. ruins it every time. she is not liking it too much as you see she does have a bed and a blanket but i cant stand to see her cold like that. i will try to keep her in tonight. dont know. will have beutiful tree pictures tommorro or today since it is around one am.

boy this is my 41st time blogging, got the hang of it now. you'll be tired of me. nora wanted me to go on a diet with her. we weighed in at grandmas. for some reason that is the only scale we can use. i will spare you the weights. however, i have lost 10 pounds already with the soup salad five nights a week at work with occasional desert no vending machines at work and at least a 2 mile hike in the hallways at work. my pants have been slipping down for almost two weeks now. guess i was loosing weight. but the official diet starts today. may the will power be with us both. anyone else want to join in? well it is after one am so i am going to hit the bed. love you all 12 2 07.
