It finally stopped raining!!

We have had more than enough...floods everywhere...hope we don't get snow like that this winter!! I think I'll just hybernate anyhoo! Already it's too cold for me! Just put a beef stew in the crockpot for supper and my arms are killing me! Why did I have to buy the heaviest pots and pans in town??? Too much!! So what is Lou doing in Virginia Beach?? That's not permanent is it?? Love you all!

Well...here we go again!!

Got my "old" puter back from Den yesterday...took me all afternoon to get it up and running...but....it will do until he gets my new one fixed with Vista....having a hard time with that...glad it's him and not me tho!! I've really had it with puters...and my arms are killing me!!! We had a good time tho...met at Sam's Club in Augusta...I had to do some shopping and then took Den, Justin and Josh thru to do some...was waaaay fun!! love you all!!

The Toy Run!!

It was a bummer!! Rained the whole time and we got soaked!!! But we did it for the kids!! Unfortunately the turn out was not as good this year...but still good stuff!!

I hate cold......

....it is really getting cold here! I'm not looking forward to another winter. Just sitting here drinking my coffee and contemplating another winter...very depressing!! Has the kids gotten their mail yet? Tell the older ones that they can practice writing...by writing to ME!! Still looking for those videos of Alexis!!?? Come on now...you can do it!! Love you all!!

Look what I got in the mail!!!

Yup..new pix of the grandkids in Virginia!!! Whooopeee!! Love them all!!! Thank you so much Lyn! If you wondered where I been for a couple of days....my puter wouldn't turn on..the power supply box bit the dust! Cost me $100 to get a guy out here to fix it!! But she's working now!!! If anything else happens...I'm throwin it out the window! Sorry, Den...but I've had it!! My arms are aching so much from trying to get it to work....just ain't worth the extra pain pills! But I love you!!! Thanks again for the pix!!! Love you all!!

It's raining....

had a major tstorm this noon time...wow! quite the boomer! Well, I have all my Christmas shopping done for VA!! Just waiting on a couple of things that I ordered to arrive...then all will be wrapped and ready to go!! Love the new pic, Lyn....now if that ain't worth comin home to, I don't know what is!!?? Stop droolin Lou!! And go home!! Love you all!!

Bad news...

Mom just called...my uncle Nelson (the nice one!) passed away yesterday morning! Went to fix his morning coffee and that was it! He would have been 81 the end of this month. Needless to say, Mom is very upset...and sad...but she takes things in stride...she's amazing!! Her biggest worry this morning was that the other uncle, Llewellyn...would come up from Maryland and take over the funeral arrangements and make it a Mormon spectacle! Nelson was NOT a Mormon! Oh well, hope all goes well. It was FREEZING here this morning...gonna go sit in the sun to warm up my hands!!

Been offline for two days!!

My Internet Explorer has been acting up...so I ain't been online. Hopefully it has cured itself!! Check out Lyn's new pix!! They are great! Hope she is feeling better today! Gram is doing fine...a little down because she just can't do her canning and stuff like she used to...really!! She's sumpin else ain't she??!! I got her some Vermont maple syrup in a glass jug that looks like maple leaves...she loved it! I also found a cute box of stationery for her in one of those cute little General Stores...she loves that too! Gotta run....love you all!

Still hurtin...

Don't know if I will ever get better!! It was worth it tho! Looking forward to some new pix from Lyn and some videos from Den.....I wanna see that baby!! Gonna go visit gram tomorrow and take her the maple syrup I got her in Vermont! Love you all!!

Still recuperating....

by the time I got the cat box cleaned and vacuumed...my arms were dead this morning! Kinda stinks if you know what I mean!! I think the thing I loved the best about Vermont was the farms....very much farmland up thru Smugglers Notch and northwards....soooooo beautiful!

You can take the girl out of the farm...but can't take the farm out of the girl!! LOL!!

The guy that owns the elk restaurant has a 500 acre fenced in hunting ground where you can purchase the opportunity to hunt anything you want, elk, bear, moose, etc. I didn't think it sounded very sporting! Said it took a guy two weeks to bag a reindeer....meanies!!

I'm kinda bumming today, I don't have any pictures of my babies!! My ex took the photo album with my babies' pix in them...and won't share....so I have nothing to compare my grandkids pix with! A mom should have pix of her babies!!! Maybe my son could figure how to get stills from the old movies I had??? Hmmm???

What a weekend!!

We had such a great time! Stayed in Barre, Vt the first night...went to the Champlain Valley Fair on Saturday...Tobey Keith was there but all sold out for the show :(....made our way up through Stowe and Smuggler's Notch on Sunday..almost into Canada!! Fall has hit there...the leaves were changing big time!! My bro Larry and I had elk burgers for lunch Sunday!! They were good...different but good!! That restaurant was fascinating!! Came back thru NH and stayed in Rumford Center Sunday night then hit the Height of the Land yesterday before we came home!! Was a very very enjoyable and fascinating trip!!!
