Good Monday Morning to All!
I received the above picture in an email... I think it personifies exactly how I feel and LQQK right now! (Except for those booties- mine MUST have the heel covered)!
The troops are southward~bound... (and to those southern temperatures too)!
They will be staying overnight in Missouri at Jade and Isaiahs Grandmothers house. Jade will remain at her Grandmothers, (& her dad will pick her up next week). Jenne, Casey and Isaiah will leave Missouri (again bright and early) tomorrow morning for Texas. And should be able to arrive later tomorrow evening... Please wish them all well.
Such a weekend we had around here...
And at Zoe and Erics too!
I think (hope?) you have all had a chance to see my new pictures! (Photo album entitled Winter 2006~2007). And aren't they cute?
...Even Mr. Mikey, (my nephew), who made it his responsibility for the evening to get into almost every picture I took. (And probably everyone elses too)! Such a card he is! And yet, so wonderful with Master Gabriel too! (If anyone should become a pediatrician it is Michael).
And a special cranberry sauce for dipping the turkey in for those brave enough to try. Michael and I absolutely loved it! Different. But SO good too! Nice too that like my sister Mary, they always have a little something new on their table when they cook. Mary has always shared new recipes too! (Guinea Pigs that we are)!
These 'kids' are so cool- (Us big kids had a great time too)! So many little jokes- So much laughter too, and isn't that what makes it all worthwhile anyway?
Zoe and Erics home is just beautiful, and we all got watch his pictures of before, during and after their remodeling. Such good work- Lots of sleepless nights, but all is well that ends well- Their home is 'picture~perfect' now! And even the darned basement! Eric has his drums set up. The basement is now carpeted, and the pool table even got put up! A beautiful old Brunswick... And of course a dartboard on the wall- I couldn't resist... I tried throwing a few darts and embarassed myself ~bigtime~ Sure wish my "hand" would hurry up and work already!!!
On the way home, I brought my Little Miss Valerie over to Nancys for the evening, and Master Gabriel and I came back here. I put him to bed about 8; (he didn't like me at all after that). Roberta got here to collect him shortly after 10. I was just finishing up some of Gabriels wash, so timing was perfect. We chatted a while, and shortly thereafter, Casey also got here. In the meanwhile, she had run to Pulaski to meet Robertas friend, and then she even went back to Jenne's going away celebration. Like me, she was SO tired; (I'd had a 21 and a half hour day)... So after Berta left with my Little Gabriel, Casey and I both went straight to bed.
CaseyAnne, Jennifer, Jade and Isaiah came out last night- I had been napping on the couch, and awoke with a wonderful hug and kiss from Jade.
Such a beautiful girl- (14, going on 30).
Man, I don't think I ever looked that good! (Oh wait, maybe WHEN I was 25, in the summertime, and with the lights down real low)! hehehe
Jade is another of Brads children, living on the west coast with her mother, and here to visit family... (which happily includes ME too)!
I miss them all already! And Punk is going to miss the heck out of her friend Isaiah- They would always fight for Jennifers attention; Punk would wait until Isaiah was doing something else and then quick would become Jennes lap dog-
Isaiah would catch her on his mamas lap, and there would be hell to pay after he crawled up there too!! I think this dog is so spoiled!
My little Punkin will be a whole 8 months old tomorrow! (Where has the year gone)?
I'd better close and get on with my day- As my title implies, I woke up in the same clothes I had worn yesterday... Just so tired. And perhaps a bit anemic. I shall have to begin taking my vitamins for a while- (If I take them religiously every day, the magnesium in them sets off my head, so I take a break from them every now and then for a week or so)... Time for my shower!
But before I do, you ALL must go to my friends page here, "Reconstituted Teenager" page... She has an entry entitled "Random Acts of Kindness" that should give us all something to do- (Please click on either of those links above)...
Do what she asks in her entry- And please leave her a comment that you were there too- We should do this not only for Christmas, or December, but for all the days of the whole year!
I should also add that I believe in the goodness of all of my fanily and friends on here. (Just tell her "Anna-Anna" sent you)!
Have a 'Fun'derful day!
XOXO
Anne 
PS...
...YES, Miss Chris, I did finally get PIE!
