A Day At The Zoo

I am trying to do fun things this summer.  I decided to take the grandkids to the zoo today.  It was great - and then it got really hot.  But, we had a great time and I'm exhausted!!  Just wanna share some photos from our day.


Just got to the zoo!

Harper - blue eyes!!


Penny wanted a turn at taking pictures - she couldn't get the hang
of the fingers not being on the lens

Must ride the carousel - Penny insisted that she ride the
elephant

Zach and Harper - and Auntie BooBoo

We had two great stroller pushers.

Penny thinks her cousin Chelsea is the most amazing girl
on the planet.  She LOVES her and Chelsea loves her back.
It makes me so happy that Penny adores her so much.

Two littles must hold their cousin Chelsea's hands.  This is
the best picture in the world

Penny was not real crazy about the splash pad.  But, she
finally sat down - as long as Chelsea was there

Chelsea and Harper on the blow hole.  I thought Harper would
freak out - but she loved it.  She was soaking wet - so was Chelsea.

This little one had so much fun in the water

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

365 Days - The Story of a Year

This last year has been the hardest one of my life. And I've had a lot of hard years in my lifetime. But this year involved the health of me and I'm being a little selfish about thinking about just me. But it was hard. But, I survived it. And now I'm learning to THRIVE. A little history. For the last four years, I have been dealing with knee pain. Most of it was in my right knee. For the first couple of years, I would get a cortisone shot and I was good. Usually last for at least a year. Then the cortisone wasn't working anymore. I had the rooster comb injections. They didn't work. So, after that, my doctor told me that I was bone on bone and needed a knee replacement. But for that four years, she kept saying - you're too fat, no surgeon will touch you at your weight. You have got to lose weight. That is always easier said than done. She always made me feel like I was failing at taking care of myself. For the last two years, I have been worki
