I don't intentionally spoil my grandkids...

...it's just that correcting them often

takes more energy than I have left.

I snagged these photos from my daughter. My son-in-law took them at an estate near their home and I love them!!

Candid shots of my sweeties.

This is Joshua...he had to be propped up. :)

Allysha ~ our first grandchild and she is 11

years old already!

Perfect love sometimes does not come

until the first grandchild.

Love this photo!! {mommy snuck in there too}

What a sweetie!

Can I get down now?

Enough already!

I sure hope we are almost done, don't you Jon?

I will leave you with some wonderful grandparent quotes:

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have -

if only for self-defense.

~Gene Perret

My granddaughter came to spend a few weeks with me,

and I decided to teach her to sew.

After I had gone through a lengthy explanation

of how to thread the machine,

she stepped back,

put her hands on her hips,

and said in disbelief,

"You mean you can do all that,

but you can't play my Game Boy?"

What a bargain grandchildren are!

I give them my loose change,

and they give me a million dollars' worth

of pleasure.

Have a blessed Tuesday~

Stressed by reality!

Yesterday started out to be a good day ,

went up to my booth and feathered and fluffed...

and fluffed some more.

Stopped at a couple antique stores on the way home,

not a care in the world ...

UNTIL

I got home and opened the mail.

In it was an overdraft notice from my bank and

I have not been overdrawn in many ,many YEARS!

INSTANT STRESS for sure!

It seems that my new health insurance company took out

several hundred dollars

and they were not supposed to take out anything.

I have been mailing in our payments.

So I had to make *the phone call*.

I told the nice gentleman on the phone what had

happened and I also told him I never even enrolled for

the automatic payment because we send our

payments in the mail.

{something hinky going on here}

SO he kindly "dis-enrolled" me.

HOW can he dis-enrollme when I never enrolled??

At any rate, he said it was

definitely their mistake ...imagine that! I wish I had

gotten that on tape because from previous experience

these things never end that easily.

He assured me that this would not happen again

because after all I am now dis-enrolled.

"Can you please put that money back in my bank account?"

"Oh no ma'am , we can't do that!"

They can yank it out in a matter of seconds, but

for some reason they can't get it back in there.

Refund check supposedly coming in the mail.

"So are you going to pay the $25 overdraft fee too?"

He kindly told me to submit my bank statement

showing the transaction and they will pay it.

Wow...I was shocked. I really expected him to say

*we can't do that*

Now I just hope and pray that it all ends this easily...

{thank God we had it in savings to transfer over,

but it was not a fun thing to come home to}

Hope you have a wonderful day. We are supposed to get storms here again! UGH!
