Another month gone!

I think this will be the last year for my blog. Facebook and Instagram has taken over blogging. But here's what's happened since my last post.
Della turned 6! Mama and Daddy took her for an excursion in Boone, NC.




 Declan stayed with me a couple of times. I found him some Spiderman boots at a yard sale.



 Rodney turned 50! Janet had a birthday party for him at Kings Mountain State Park.






 Declan likes to play ball with Grandpa Justin.








 I babysat for Craig and Holly one afternoon. This is Maxel....
 Della....
 Amelia.....
 Finished a doily named Marion.

 Oops! Declan couldn't make it to the house!

 I "tried" to follow the Karoo Vintage MAL but was disappointed with both the written instructions and the videos.
 I finished another Elements CAL but left the bobbles and squares off.


Maxel turned 4! Holly and Craig painted the rock at his school.

 He started pre-K the day before.
 He's playing Tee-ball too. Something I couldn't get his daddy to do!
That's it for now. Until next time.

I'm still here!

I know it's been a while since I posted, but I'm still blogging. Quite a bit has happened since my last post. July 4th, mini-vacation, and my birthday! I turned 65 this year! Woo Hoo! Not many pictures were taken, but the kids enjoyed the pool and fireworks.
We had a family cookout on the 4th and a neighbor cookout on the following Saturday. Gavin turned 20
                  and Xander turned 6 on July 8th.
Justin and I, along with the boys and Kody, traveled to Blue Ridge, Georgia for a vacation get-away. Beautiful place! This is how Kody traveled the majority of the time!





 We hadn't even unpacked and Justin was fishing!
 Gavin and Kody cooked hamburgers for us.

 This is where Gavin, Sloan, and Kody hung out....







 The neighbor's dogs. I joked they were Queen Elizabeth's dogs!







 This sign was on the back porch...
 I took some crochet with me....

 Gavin brought his guitar and Sloan couldn't stay off the phone texting his girlfriend!






 Ignore the belly-roll!
Not much to do or see in this area, so we found a "flea market" in nearby Murphy, NC.

Isn't this a great idea to use a pot lid for a towel holder?





Yesterday, Justin and I went to see the grandbabies. We took them a power-wheels car that Rodney brought home. Della is a little too big for it, but they all enjoyed it!


 Goofy Maxel dressed himself!
 He was proud of his fireman's jacket.
 We enjoyed a great supper with the kids and Holly and Craig.

 Bless her heart! Amelia konked out after we left.
Holly sent me these pictures of Della, Maxel, and Amelia....


I finished the crochet project I was working on during our vacation. It's just a C2C blanket with moss stitch border using the baby yarn I bought at Hobby Lobby on clearance.

That's all for now.
