so, here’s a little sample of what I’ve been up to lately:

Decorated mom’s tree for Christmas…more on that later

Now that the girls are out of the house, mom and dad have decided they can have it back the way they would want it. So, over the last several months, they have done/ had done several projects to “fix’er up”. This is my sister’s old bedroom that we painted last Friday and Saturday and put back together. Its not totally done, but you get the idea. Maybe it will be finished over Christmas and I can show you the final version. Happy Birthday mom…manual labor is a good way to get out of having to decide what to buy your parents who don’t need anything!

We raided mom’s antique corner to decorate the room. Bienvenue would be so proud!
(And by te way, that is not a pair of panties or anything scandalous hanging out othat drawer, its a piece of paper..mom’s cookie recipe file box to be exact…like mother, like daughter


My Papa and his twin brother turned 90 (funny how they can both do that at the same time!) We had big party for them…and they have tons of friends..which happens when you live in the same place for 90 years. I kinda like to think they are legends around there


This was earlier this year. We always compare our battle wounds. He has a pacemaker/defibrillator. This pic has inspired me…I may go short with my hair again.

This is with their big brother (wearing the black had on the right)

The whole family was there…

Grandkids…

kids…. (my mom is on the left)

Great-grandkids…if you only knew what a feat it was to get them all in one spot at the same time looking at the camera…its kind a a game that I like to play and my cousins just laugh at the thought!


My sweet college roomie Brooke and her husband, Robert, just adopted a baby girl

I will soon make sure she knows who Aunt Keisha is!

These were taken at her shower

(Isn’t Stephanie so talented!!!)


Well, that was November backwards!

Where has 2009 gone?!?
