Home Is Where The Heart Is

I think I'm going to write in green just in honor of Christmas.... eventually I'll learn to do graphics, when you are older it is one step at a time....patience, patience.   I am so happy....if you could see me I'm doing the "Happy Hampster Dance!!!"

My daughter & her husband sent me plane tickets for the holidays so I can come up and visit the grandbabies.  I haven't seen the twins since they were ten months old....and I didn't even know that they were blondes!  That was a kicker to find out, they never had much hair before and this past summer it just came in like so blonde.  When they were first born I spent a little over a month up there, actually got them to sleep through the night - so that my daughter & son-in-law could cope a little better.  Cause if you look at the other pictures you will see two other little beauties...Brittany & Sabrina added to the mix.....quite a busy household.

I think back and I do have to laugh....my daughter told me when I was expecting my last child (I was an embrassing 40 yrs old at least to a teenager as she was) that SHE was NEVER going to have children EVER...never, never.  Oh, my...how words can can back and bite us!  My daughter is a great Mom though, she works, she cooks, she cleans, she takes charge and she makes things happen.

All things considered, if I had to do it all over...I never would of moved down here.  You know you have those moments in time where you think you know just the right path to take and looking back in retrospect you find you didn't know a damn thing.  Even though I have made so many trips up over the last eight years...I still missed milestones...first steps, first words,first day of school.  I'm in a catch-22 position no way out....Joe would never be able to work up in New York again, not with those terrible cold bone chilling winters.....due to the injuries he suffered from an accident years ago.

If anybody looked at my homepage you know that I love Star Trek..but I really, really wish they could invent a "Beam Me Up, Scotty" machine....it would be instantaneous...I could go "poof" and be in New York. Imagine....I have.....it would be a blow to the airline industry, but the old fashioned way of flying could still be usefull for some things.  I know people will think I'm crazy but 100 years ago they never thought that we would walk on the moon either...oh, wait, we still have people who think we didn't.  Did Columbus have this much of a belief problem?

Anyhow, I am just so happy about going up......it's also hard to pack for 30 degree weather when it's 80 degrees outside!  Oh, I hope it snows when I'm up there...I want to throw a snowball, build a snowman with the babies...throw myself down and make "snow angels"....yes, I am regressing.  I was always the one who loved the cold weather...lived for it, would play in the snow for hours on end, didn't even mind shoveling.  After 18 years down here my blood has thinned, I have allergies galore....and I'll probably freeze my butt off.   But I still think it will be fun!
