Grandma's Journal

I am watching the grandkids (Carson and DesiRay) while their mommy and daddy goe to their Uncle's graduation. Not something Bryan wanted to do (he will find any excuss not to see his parents) but Amy wouldn't let him get out of it, but to add fuel to the fire they had me keep the kids to piss off his parents I am sure!

Carson and I just got done eating home made shrimp & crab cessear salad. Yummy!

I sat and made homemade shrimp and crap salad that you buy in the deli. I need something for the pot luck graduation party tonight at the Elk's or Moose club in Pasco for our friend Dawn's son "Michael" who graduates tonight at 5pm...so I thought I would try my hand at making this salad, and it sure turned out good. I got a whole big bowl full and I bet it only cost me $20 to make it...I pay $6.00 for a lb. of it at the store...I guess there is no reason for me to buy it anymore it I now know how to make it! Amy said it was really good, and my mom ate a cereal bowl full so it must me good!

It's time for DesiRay to eat (so she is trying to tell me anyways) so I guess I better go make her a bottle and give her some lunch.

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.

A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.		2009-06-06 12:36 PM Grandkids, and Graduations I am watching the grandkids (Carson and DesiRay) while their mommy and daddy goe to their Uncle's graduation.
