Grandma's Journal
My Journal

I became a Grandma at the age of 49 years old. Well I was actually only 17 days from being 50. My baby girl gave me gave me my first grandchild. He was a beautiful bouncy boy. Then 2 years later she surprised me on my birthday at 5am by waking me up and telling me "Happy Birthday Mom!" Time to get up we are going to the hospital and having a baby today! I told her NO that's tomorrow. It took a little bit for her to get it through my groggy head that she was going to be giving me a birthday present! and she totally did. She gave me a dark hair beautiful little grand daughter. Now I can enjoy spoiling 2. I have decided that the best thing in the world is being a Grandma! There is nothing that come close to that! I have been married for 30 years to a man that lives for his family. He only wants the best for all of us and spoils us all! He is a good man that works hard for his dollar. We have a pretty good marriage to say the least. Well it must be if we can put up with each others faults this long! My mom who has Alzehimers lives with us and has been for almost 3 years now. She is in the finally stages of the disease and still hangs in there. She loves to grab the broom and sweep. She does this everyday, and several times a day. I keeps her busy. She will even sweep the counch or the kitchen table if you let her. My oldest daughter is going to be 34 years old this year and hasn't lived at home in 16 years. I spend as must time as I can with her. But it is never enough. She plans on coming home to live and take care of us in 7 years. I cant wait! It's my dream to have her home. She is a dear friend to me and we have a great relationship. she always tells me that I am her best friend.

I love Lighthouses, and I collect them. I added a beautiful homemade lighthouse quilt to my collection in November 2008. A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.

My weekend

We finally got out of here around noon on Thursday. Got stuck in CleElem as there were wrecks from CleElem to North Bend going both ways due to people don't know how to slow down when it is 28 degree's and freezing with snow falling so hard you can barley see!

We got to my brother in laws house around 5:30pm, had time to feed DesiRay and then head to the Rock Pizza Palor for Pizza and Rum buckets to quince our threst! then back to the house after our visit and drinks and headed for bed. Up early Friday morning to shower, dress and head to Port Ochard for Amy, Bryan and Carson to visit Becky. DesiRay and I went to Target to shop and kill 3 hours before visiting was over. then its off to visit Lenn, feed DesiRay and Bryan took me for my trailer visit with Becky. Had a good visit. Ate the yummy food Becky cooked. She made Prison Lasagna (yummy and tastie) then Saturday she made bacon eggs, hashbrowns for breakfast, lunch was kabassa and fried rice, and dinner was chicken enchaladas, salad, and oreo dessert.

We watched movies, and talked, and played cribbage. We even had a surprise fire drill! Wow was that a loud scary deal! It scared Becky so much she litterly ran out the trailer and out the back fence faster then I have ever seen her run.

Oh yeah Cindy, Becky wants you to know that she will be at your house in 7 years to ride those horses! she also says she misses you and the kids!

Now as I sit here listening to the sound of the tv, I am wondering what I am going to do from now on with my Mom. My sister informed me tonight that she will not watch my mom anymore. She is trying to force me into putting my mom in a nursing home. I don't want to do this. So now I have to figure out what I am going to do.
