Today and Tomorrow
I have spent one wonderful week here in the Pacific North West. The weather has not been all that great; but the scenery is wonderful! I have spent the week with my daughter and her family. My oldest grandson is here. We surprised him. He did not know I was coming. Those big blue eyes made the whole trip worth it as did every hug and every kiss. Spending time with my #3 grandson and getting to know him has been great too! Remy short for Remington is a cute cuddly bear of a guy who has made me laugh. I have two more days here. I just found a quiet moment to post. Will post more later with pictures.

1. What are three words you would use to describe your 2011?
change
patience
sad
2. Do you like shrimp? What's your favorite way to have it prepared?
I love shrimp cooked almost every way. Fried, stuffed, chilled, broiled etc...
3. Is your house de-Christmased? If so, when did you tackle that job? If not, when will the decorations come down?
Yes my apartment is de-Christmased. I really didn't do much this year.
4. Do you like to watch scary movies?
No way!!
5. ice skating~sledding~ skiing~snowboarding...of the four listed which wintertime activity do you most enjoy?
I like ice scating, although I have not done it for a while. Sledding is also fun. I would love to do other winter sports but coordination is not my strongest quality.
6. Did you have a childhood hideout? Describe it.
From what I can remember we did not have a hide out. Gosh, I am really boring this week.
7. What's a place or space that motivates you?
I love nature. I love the way it screams to Praise God. I can see it in the trees, the flowers, the water and the moutains. I love to be in wide open spaces like the beach or moutains.
8. Insert your own random thought here
I am at my daughter on the west coast right now. This afternoon I took my 6 year old grandson to the movies and had to leave because he was not feeling well. When we got home we took his temp poor baby it was 102.5

New Year Time to Count my Blessings.
Hello and Happy New year everyone! It is 2012. I remember sitting in a grade school class with my best friend Theresa (Terri) to everyone else and talking about how far away 2000 was and I would be this old! Then being amazed! Well now it is 2012! I am still here and have received so many blessings over the years.
1. I have wonderful Savor; He love me enough to die for me. This is a blessing I praise Him for as often as I can.
2. I have a terrific husband who knows me for who I am and loves me anyway!
3. I have 2 of the best kids in the world!
4. Both of my kids are blessed with great spouses and I love them as if they were my own.
5. My grand kids! All I can say is they are all wonderful and I am so proud to be their Me-maw.
6. My parents are such a blessing to me. My mom is my best friend and even though we can not live together for more than a week. (inside joke) I can't imagine my life without her! My dad and step-mom they are my spiritual mentors, friends, parents I am truly blessed to have these three as my parents!
7. My brothers and sisters. I am blessed with sisters, half brothers and step- sisters but all those titles mean nothing to me the Lord blessed me with a big family and I love them all!
8. I have many nieces and nephews from the above brothers and sisters. I love them all!
9. Now I have great-nieces and nephews just so we can have more fun and my sisters and I can share grandma stories. (none from brothers yet)
10. The Lord moved us cross country closer to family; He made sure we have a roof over our heads (even if it is not what I want at the moment). He got us jobs. Has given us a great person and new friend to help us find a home here. Given us new friends to have fun with. A new church.
I can go on and on. I am positive we will find a new home and be exactly where He wants us. He moved us here that I do not doubt so I have no right to doubt the rest and worry about where I will live. I am sure I will still gripe and complain in 2012 (although I will try to curb that!). I am sure I will still worry in 2012 (I am human and this is one of my biggest sins). But I will try to remember every day all the many blessing the Lord has given me and be the person He wants me to be.
Happy New Year to all! I wish you a new year of many blessings and joy!
