Pictures from Before Steve's Christmas Party

Thought I'd post a few pics we took before going to Steve's Christmas party at work. Here are the four of us...

and then, here are me and Steve!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanksgiving

Here I am waiting ever so patiently to steal the turkey skin from everyone else that has been smelling it and calling dibs!!! Good thing Steve loves me best! ;)

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was as yummy as mine! The best part of the day was when I kept making everyone laugh by walking around acting like a gobbling turkey doing my turkey call. They were quite aggitated that I wouldn't stop, and maybe it did get a little "old" after two hours of random breaking out in it, but it was very funny if I say so myself. "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!" Just wait until they see my Santa imitation at Christmas!

My ALL Time Favorite Animal

Take a deep breath and enjoy the wonderous smell of elephants...

All of my life I have always loved elephants. I think they are so big and beautiful. I love their floppy ears and how they can use them to fan themselves. I wish my ears were big and floppy! Then, I could wiggle them when I sing the song..."Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?...." The best thing about elephants is their smell. I could sit under the covered shed at the zoo and watch them all day long! Some say I'm strange for this...especially Logan because he really dislikes their smell. I will keep on with my thoughts, though, and LOVE these wonderful animals!!!!

The BIG 5-0...yep, me!

Okay, my body and bones ached SO terribly this morning I had to literally roll out of bed. I forgot where I put my glasses so I stumbled my way to make coffee. My arthritis kicked in and my back locked up as I tried to pick up Caralee. I was astonished to see all the gray hair and wrinkles in the mirror too! Did I mention I couldn't see my feet through my sagging....well, you catch my drift. Oh boy...fifty is going to be fun! Wonder how long I can keep my real teeth!?!

And, since computers weren't around when I was growing up I couldn't figure out how to make this last picture any bigger...but it was part of my b-day celebration outfit that I ACTUALLY wore out in public to lunch at Sumo's! Yum-O!

What a Lovely Rocker Couch Thingy...

This is my MOST FAVORITEST Rocker Couch Thing ever!!! Seeing it brought back many, many memories. Anyone else remember one like this? Paul got it and sold it at a garage sale we had...I was quite attached (as you can see)! My kids thought I was crazy for liking it, but oh well!

The BESTEST daughter in the world...ha ha

Me and Steph at the Beach

Anyone that knows me knows that I SO, SO, SO LOVE the beach! There's something quite relaxing about dragging 50 pounds of beach stuff out on the sand at 9:00 in the morning to claim our spot for the day, baking/cooking/tanning my skin to a crisp ALL day, and watchin' my grandkids surf the waves and sip salt water from their fingers...awwwwww....Can't wait to go back. Thought I'd enter the blog world with the COMPLETE "help" of my bestest daughter (ha! The one writing all of this).
