Living in an Oven

Can you believe it is after 6 in the evening and we are still 115 degrees! I am wondering why I live in this oven? Oh now I remember my grand children live here  :)
I also notice with this picture I really need to dust the inside of my car....but not in this heat. lol

Game Crazy

I have taught Nicky how to play games on the computer. Boy is he a fast leaner. I think I have created a game monster. That's all he wants to do anymore. And it's causing him to some times to forget the potty breaks. I wish now I had waited a little while. But that's too late now.

I don't know about the rest of you but my family has sure been going through a lot of stress and tribulation the last couple of weeks. I am just praying that all things work out for the good. I'm asking for God's wisdom and guidance in our lives. 

Family

It's been a hard week. We have lost two of my Dad's siblings with in the last week.

 My Dad's older brother Alvin on July 11th and then his sister Ruth on July 18th. The strange thing is both Alvin and Ruth were born on March 14th eleven years apart. Please say a prayer for their families and also my  Dad. It's just him and his younger sister Irene left out of the 9 kids.

 

Visiting

I was able to visit with my Dad and Mom over the 4th. I was there for 4 days. I enjoyed every minute of my time with them. I am so mad at myself for not getting their picture together, I swear sometimes my mind just slips away. Here are my beautiful parents in separate pictures. My sister Cindey had to have an emergency surgery because of a ruptured appendix on Wednesday, she is home and healing now.

I got sad news today that my Dad's older brother Elvin had passed away. I never had the pleasure of meeting him which made me cry because now I never will. My Dad's sister Ruth is only expected to have a few months left, I haven't seen her since I was 4. All the family that is left now is my Dad (Joseph) Aunt Ruth and my Aunt Irene. Whom I have not seen for a while. I wish I had the financial means to travel to see them all.

My Dad and Farrah Fawcett

You are asking yourself what does my Dad and Farrah Fawcett have in common. Nothing at all. So more about Farrah in a minute. This is the picture my sister texted me of my Dad on Father's Day. He looks so amazing since I saw him last October. 

I talked to Dad last night and again this morning. He telling me he's so tired and doesn't know how much longer he will be here, He says he can't wait to get to Heaven because he will have his perfect body. I want to tell him please Daddy hold on a little longer I will be coming to visit next month. But I don't say this because I know I will start crying. Like I am crying now. So I change the subject to my sister, because today is her birthday. I am Daddy's little girl. I would miss him. I know he's tired he has to go 3 days a week to dialysis but I want him around longer.

So enough about this crying stuff

So on to Farrah. I just finish reading Ryan O'Neal book on Farrah. I really enjoyed reading about their love affair that lasted many years. They were the "golden couple" both so beautiful. I was a teenager in the 70's and I so wanted to have her hair. I think everyone has their one true love and I thinks she was his and he was her's. I read Ryan's book first then I read Farrah's close friend Alana Stewart's.

I absolutely loved Alana's book. This is a true friendship, the greatest love you can give to a friend. She basically put her life on hold to be with Farrah. I know I said no more crying stuff but this book did make me cry.
I highly recommend Alana's book it is so worth reading. I want to be this kind of friend.

Joshua's 8th Grade Graduation

My Grandson Joshua graduated last week from 8th. I can't believe he is going into high school next year.

 Him and his group of friends

 He is so handsome and I am very proud of him

 Dad (my son aka Josh Sr) in red stripe & Allyssa (sister), Nicky (brother) and the 2 great grandma's

 Above photo Grandma (me) and his 2 great grandmother's (my mom in white Grandma Shaw in Blk & white) and also little Nicky who wanted in all photos. Do all divorced couples do this Dad's side of family and Mom's side of family?

Joshua's Mom Christina in blue dress and also cousins and aunt. 

 I am just glad we all get along.

These are the cupcake I made him. Very time-consuming but the kids loved them.

Hulk Nicky

My grandson Nicky (3 1/2 years) old is crazy about the Hulk. He wants all the toys, wants to watch all the movie. I found this website that I could add his picture to the Hulk. He loves it!
