I have been trying to get Wate to make these bean bag toss for 30 years I wanted our kids to have them when they were growing but that never happen. I was determined to have them for the grand kids. At the beginning of the year I made up my mind not to wait for Wate to do it or to do any kind of wood work for me I would learn to do it myself I think they came out wonderful and so far K loves them. I have made a few things out of wood it's so funny when people see them they say WOW Wate that's really neat when I tell them he didn't make it I
did they get real quite and don't seem to know what to say like some how a women shouldn't be doing this. What can I say I'm a BIG fan of Ana White I have learned so much from her and have a long list of thing to make I' hoping to get K's kitchen cut out before the new year.
Until Later

Age
While visiting my in laws awhile back my MIL and I were talking while Wate and his Dad were working on their computer so that they could get on the Internet. I was telling Milly how wonderful the Internet is all the things it has to offer so many things to learn. That was a whole world out there and that she didn't need to just sit around and watch TV. She told me that she was 76 and just to old to learn anything new shocked that anyone would every say such a thing I told her she was never to old to learn thinking that she just need some encouragement that she wasn't to old. She went on to say that since all her sibling that have died around the age of 86 she only had that long and that she just wasn't interested. I said well if your not interested that's one thing but your never to old. She said that I don't understand cause I'm still young (who thought 50 as young) that when I get to be her age I'd understand. I asked her who said that when you get to be 76 you can't do anything that I have known people who have done more things in their later years than they every did before, why did she think life was over. She just kept repeating I'd understand when I was her age. I finally told her I never wanted to be her age in her mind she was to old in my mind I'm still in my 20's. If George Bush Sr. can jump out of a plane at 85 why can't I.
I never want to be so old I feel I can't learn something new, my grandma was in her 90's when she pasted and she always told me "I can always learn something and want to Holly you are more in the world tell what you have learned so that I may know it too." That's the person I want to be, always learning new things until I leave this world. I want to be able to talk with my grand kids about the things they want. To keep up with technology my 2 year old grand daughter knows more about how things works than my kids did at her age. Imagine what she will know at 10, I want to be able to touch her and her world.
So my friends am I just crazy is Milly right that life is over at 76? I really don't want to live like that, I want to dance in the rain, get a rush from a thunderstorm, share a lightning storm with my grand kids, ride on the back of Wate's bike. Be it now or 100 years from now.
Until Later

Can we say .............
I had to redo this video caught Valondra feeding Ann this is now boob free. ;)
KOOKY!!!!!!!!!!
K found an envelope and just had to try it out. This was to cute not to share. Seeing her do these nutty things I wonder what will she be like when she grows up. She does so many things just to hear people laugh it's one of her favorite things to do.
Until Later

Snow, Dirt, still an Angel
As some of you know we live in the desert. We still don't have grass in the back yard but I don't think K wants grass she LOVES dirt. She acts like she is swimming. Just think of the angel she would make if we had snow.
We all hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!!
Until Later

A Girl And Her Truck
When our kids were no bigger than K is now we bought them trucks this is the only one that's left. Wate wanted me to get rid of them long ago but I said no someday our grand kids will play with it I have a bunch of toys from when our kids were small. I have hauled this across the country and keep stored in boxes for years. I'm so glad I didn't listen to Wate, K has so much fun with it all.
