Halloween 09

What a great time we had. Mom as the cheerleader, showing us her flexibility! You would never guess that this gal is 92. JoAnn cheated with Moms costume from a couple years ago, but that's OK! LouAnn as bacon, never guessed that one, Angie as a clown, Eli as Honey Pot, Melissa as a Raven, Sam as a "swamp monster", Shelby as Cinderella, Rylie as Cleopatra, me as a mad cook. The laughs were many. So missed Marlee, hopefully she was looking down from above with her "Angel" costume. I bet she had little horns on top!

New Job

Well I finally got hired for a permanent position at the State. The beloved MBT project! Lots to learn, use to that. I got bit by a stray cat "Fred" that I had been feeding, Fred should have lived by the motto "Don't bite the hand that feeds you", Fred is now spending his last days, in the lap of luxury at "Ionia Pound", where after a 10 day sentence he will make his way to the big Cat heaven. Olivia and Shelby called Grandpa Dick to wish him a happy birthday, was he smiling

Elijah John

A new Grandson what a little doll. He is so darn cuddly (is that a word)? I think he knows me already, when I talk to him, he looks up at me and winks, ok, ok he doesn't wink but by gosh he does know me. Shelby is such a wonderful big sister. She does get disgusted at Grandma Susie telling her to be careful. But I can't change on by saying be careful, so she will have to just get use to it. Working 10 hour days is very tiring but I love my Thursday's doing yard work, catching up with the grandkids, I have only had two so I will have to come up with more things later on. Later

Marlee

I am having my "Art in the Park" luncheon, it will be different from last year. Marlee will not be here. We are going to celebrate the good times. And have a few laughs and most likely tears too. Marlee was one of a kind. Most of the time had a smile on her face. And was always happy to see you. I so wish I had not deleted the last message she left on my machine. I have felt her presence from time to time. And she has pulled a few tricks. Not sure how long she will hang around, I am sure for a little while, she would not miss our luncheons.
