OUR LITTLE FIRECRACKER!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KASSIE! All my granchildren hold a special place in my heart and all grandmothers know what I mean. Fifteen years ago I watched Kassie come into this world..I was the first person to see her except for the medical people of course. That mop of dark hair and big dark eyes made her look just like her grandpa who had left this earth 15 months before. He certainly loves our Kassie as he adored all his grandchildren. When I came out of the hospital that 4th of July night fireworks were going off all around me. It certainly matched my happy mood after meeting Kassie for the first time. Kassie you have been a constant joy these fifteen years, making me laugh at times and also making me proud of your achievements and talents. You are a wonderful special person. So have a fun birthday. All those fireworks really are for you! Love from your Grandma.

For The Love Of All Thats Holy!

For the love of all thats Holy! It is sure hot and will be hotter tomorrow. Kassie uses that expression.."For The Love of all thats holy". It just struck me as funny. Poor Kass has the flu (we think SWINE). Kerry had it last week. Times like that I am glad to be many miles away, although I think we had it earlier when we had the two month cough. Its so hot I bought a pkg of english muffins rather than bake bread. I have not bought bread products in many months but just did not want to run the oven. I had not written in this blog for so long that I had to stop and think what was my password. Been into facebook lately. I reconnected with several friends tht I had not communicated with much in years. I really enjoy the entire family that keep things lively on there also. My kids, neices and nephews are all very funny people..at least they keep me laughing. All the quizzes show up everyones true selves because we know they are all very accurate!!! NOT!!! Well, I better go check my farm. I think I should have something to harvest soon.

FARM TOWN

Farm Town is moving right along. We have really added to the ADDICTED list. Susie, Ann, Gayle, Lauren and Celeste have all fallen into the trap. Then the younger generation has fallen into it also. People in the know realize that Grace and Kassie are in over their cute little heads. Actually Kerry is usually really Kassie (or Kass Kerry) and Grace is being Susie. I have been known to plow and plant for Kerry and Kass when they don't have time and Celeste has been known to be doing lauren and Katie's farm work. It all gets confusing sometimes. You just never know who you are being farm neighborly with. I have reached level 30, by buying 4 barns and God only knows how many silos I have bought and sold in order to move up a level. I have a green house now so really don't have any more goals. I could try to reach the top level and buy a mansion but I am just a simple down to earth farmer and I am happy with my simple down to earth little white farmhouse. All the guys have very nice farms too, but we may just not know who really is doing the farm work...Is Gayle doing Dave's??? Is Alison doing Brocks??? Or vice versa??? We may never know. Jim and David P. may have hired help also...we don't really know do we???? I am confusing myself and that is not real hard to do. Kathy has a nice farm too. Bev, Sheryl and Janet won't have anything to do with us. They don't want to get addicted. Then there is Be-jeweled. I give up on that. My fingers don't work that quickly and I am usualy on the bottom as far as scores go. I think people cheat on that one but can't figure out how. Well, I have to tear myself away from my computer and do some laundry. Then I will be ready to harvest when Kerry gets home from work.

Upstate New York, Afton

We had a good 4 day weekend in New York. It rained two of the four days but that was okay. I took some photos of the busy downtown area. Our flights went great. We stayed at a motel near the airport saturday night as our flight left at 6 a.m. and Afton is like over two hour drive from Albany. It was party time at the motel, It was prom night as there were limos all over. Now that I think that is a good idea so kids are not driving and probably cheap enough if their are a lot of kids. However they were having some wild party stuff going on. Someone knocked on our door a couple times looking for their pals I suppose. Took me two nights to catch up on my sleep. Our weather has been great. I think I will go to Lowes for paint samples tomorrow so we can paint the bathroom. Rather "Sarge" can paint the bathroom and I will supervise. Have a nice Holiday.
