The here and now of it!


I love photographs. I wish I had created documentaries of my children. I love to remember and still laugh at the situations surrounding them as they grew up. One time I walked into my kitchen and found Gabe on the counter top naked with his hands on a bottle of Tequila, he had the most petrified look on his face because he had taken a swig out of the bottle and didn't know what to do. Try to put the top back on the bottle, throw up, or drop to his knees.


The here and now of it is that I am all about family. "A day without friends is a day without sunshine," luckily I am blessed with true friends and a wonderful family. My cup runneth over. This is a picture of Jim, my husband, and Cassius, my first grandchild. I appreciate my grandchildren. They make me laugh about simple things and are a joy to me. Then there is the beach . . .


I always love laughing, my sons let me be a child again, we laughed a lot together. I still laugh about the things they did as very young children. Like the morning the top to a wrist racer (haven't ever seen another wrist racer and hope I never do) stopped up the toilet that kept running (I forgot to show them how to giggle the handle), and they used the quilts on my bed to soak the water up around the bottom of the toilet. The toilet was out of commission for days.


Then there were the dishes that slid off the dish drainer, you can only stack them so high. The boys glued them back together using super glue on my counter. So although the dishes were together but cracked they were also glued to the top of the kitchen counter. A nice place to eat forever . . . . with grandchildren I can sit with them, love and enjoy them, and let them glue there parents dishes back together on the kitchen counter.


This was a very funny day!
