As I told you, I would keep you updated on the Artist’s new pic. It’s rough in the beginning, but so worth it when you get to the end. I’ll post some of the other paintings he’s been working on. Blessings on your Tuesday…
Below are just some of the paintings he’s finished , yet as he puts it he’s still picking on them. He’s fixing the professor’s finger’s. He didn’t like that other guys nose, so he fixed that and I just took a pic of the sailboat…
I’ll show you the one he’s working on now, His special Rosie and Sam …
Could this day get any better. The weather is beautiful and believe me, saying this is the Midwest at the end of October is hard to do. We have had an absolutely amazing Fall.
Today is Masterpiece Monday. The Artist is painting again and I couldn’t happier. He s doing great and I am so thankful for that. My youngest, Connor and his family came out for a visit at the end of the summer . We had so much fun.
I’ll post some pictures of the visit. This is where he came up with some new paintings to create. I can’t hardly wait til he finishes them…
That last picture is the one he is painting…He’s adding little brother Sam b/c he can. What an amazing picture it is going to be. We had so much fun having them for a visit. Family is everything and we sure ended up with a lot….Grandbaby 11 is on the way in the Spring !!! Woot, Woot.
One last pic of grandbaby #9…Mr. Oliver. My Grandbabies sure are cute !!!! He’s now big brother Oliver !!!
I‘m going to end with the beginningsketchesofMasterpieceMonday…
I’ll keep the updates coming … I’m sure it’s going to be amazing. Blessings for your week…
Last night as I lay in bed I was thinking about, ‘Someday’…I don’t really think many people think about that…’Someday’.
I think about, ‘Someday’ a lot b/c I have experienced that day more than I wish I had. I won’t go into the details because those aren’t really that important and if you know me, then you know.
People come in and out of your life and I like to believe that God handles who’s there and who’s not. He knows who will love you and who will support you and bring you joy. Healsoknowswhowillnotsoheremovesthemfromyour picture. I don’t always agree with the choices, I just keep the faith and accept life as it comes. I guess being in my sixties now, I love who I’ve become and I trust in God to watch over me and keep me safe and happy. He brings me all the joy…Blessings on this beatiful Saturday
Someday will always come. It’s the day when you want to do something and you can’t, just because. Pick up a phone and to talk to someone dear. Go on a road trip to be with someone you love. Trust me, this will happen when it’s no longer possible, ‘Someday,’ and it’s sooner than you think. Memories of , ‘Remember When,’ is all you have. That’s just how lifeis. Blessings. This song says it all ….
I have been gone pretty much all summer. That’s probably not a bad thing. Doing all the summer things and then some of the not so fun stuff, but I’ll save that for another post…
August is always a really busy month but it really starts in June. So first it’s Matthew, our 3rd son. He was born on Father’s day that year 1988.
Now he’s a dad with our 9th, I’m thinking that’s Oliver…Love the name
Then we have Connor, our 4th son…He was born in July, 1992
Baby Connor’s ChristeningConnie/#3 Son/Joffrey/4th Baby…I was a busy mom
Now we get to August, which we start out with our 3rd child, a daughter Ms. Lizzie…She’s my nurse 😉 …I figured out I was pg for 45 months between 1982 thru 1992…
PG w/LizzieBathing LizzieNurse Lizzie
Okay my last one of Lizzie…Isn’t she a beauty and my own personal nurse!!!
Lizzie & Me
Now it’s my turn…My bday is 2 days after hers…
This is our song for our family…It’s a great one !!!
Together forever
I have to post our song too…This one’s for you Lizzie !!!!
That’s me and the husband…We’ve been together for 50 years this year, and married 47 years. I’ve had a beautiful life full of love and family…I want another 50 !!!
I have another post coming with some great August memories. Stay tuned. Blessings
I love this country…I thank God everyday for allowing me to live in this Shining Star on the hill, The United States of America !!! Freedom is not free and so many have given their lives to give us this great gift of living in America.
I truly pray for all those who spread the negativity about America and try to change it to communism…I thank God for the bullet missing and giving us President Trump who truly loves this country. I know people who have escaped communism, and they know just how blessed they are to have made it to America…The question everyone needs to ask themselves is, ” Why does everyone want to live here? ” hmmmm… I see on the news every night people risking everything, including their life, to get to America.
Last night I watch President Trump’s speech where he said this country will never be a communist country….Thank you for protecting us from that. School’s really need to teach the ACCURATE History about the hero’s who made America the greatest place on earth.
Either you love America or you don’t. Like the saying goes, “Love it or guess what you can leave.” There is no other place that is greater than America !!!!America is not perfect, but it’s pretty close…
Freedom of Speech, Freedom to worship how I choose. LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS…. Freedom is not free, we have to defend it with everything we have. Celebrate today and never take it for granted. Our Freedoms want to be taken away by people who hate us. It’s really is only a generation away and to me that is frightening…
H A P P Y 4TH !!!! Let’s get the party started for the next 250 years….
I have been blessed w/many great Father’s in my life!!! My Dad
I’ll love you forever…I
You can see in his face how much he loved me and how hard it was for him to give me away !!!
Take good care of my little girl ….I’ll never forget you…Thank you for being my dad.
Then thereis the man I married…An amazing Dad to his 5 children. He did so much of the heavy lifting !!! I Love you to the moon….
My Forever. I really love this song and it reminds me of you…
The family picture 1993/94
Where has the time gone…They all grew up and have flown…Ages 34 thru 43…
Then there are my son’s who are amazing father’s and husband’s !!! They learned from the B E S T !!!
Loving the H A I R !!!
I can’t forget my daughter the nurse…Our own personal nurse. When dad was in the hospital, yes she slept there in his room. She made sure all the nurses that were assigned to him did their job right !!! She’s an amazing daughter and it’s b/c she had an amazing father !! They are so much alike, it’s scary sometime 😉 …
Nurse Lizzie
G R A D U A T I O N D A Y !!!!
Yes I have an amazing family b/c of the Leader of the band !!! He’s so awesome !!! You are loved by so many…Happy Father’s Dayto great father…
I have been gone for a bit…Actually I say I’ve been on IR/Injured Reserve 😉 as my guys would call it. I have a bad knee that my doctor’s first word when he saw the xray was, “I Don’t like to use the word ‘Bad’ but this is Bad. ” Of course my response was, “Well don’t use it then !!!” So it looks like knee replacement at some time in the future, but he says he wants to get me down to at least a year from now because I’m still young. Finally something that made me smileand made a little of the bad news easier to digest. Still will be doing shots for the next 6/8 months and hopefully that will keep me moving.
Besides the Doctor being young and easy on the eyes 😉 he was amazing at not hurting me. I took the daughter (i.e. nurse) with me b/c I kind of knew I was in for an injection which I know can be quite painful as I have had them before. When he said, “I really need you to get the shot !! ” I tried to talk him out of it but that didn’t work and the daughter being the daughter said, “Mom I will sit on you if I have to but you’re getting the shot…” I knew when I was outnumbered and so being quite good at dealing with pain (I’ve had 5 babies, 3 without any pain management) I just said let’s do it and get it over with !!
Thankfully he was a great doctor and the shot was totally pain free and I can now walk again with. minimal pain… Y A Y So on with SLS.
I will close this post with some very happy news. This past week we welcomed our 10th, yes 10th!!! grand baby into the world this past Thursday, Mr. Lennox James…Love the babies so very much, we are blessed for sure.
Happy Song Lyric Sunday to all and let’s have a great summer…Be Safe out there …
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
Waking up in my beautiful home !!!!
My first cup of coffee.
Seeing my husband and giving him a kiss, knowing I’m loved … (not necessarily in the right order) and hugs from our ms. Rosie ( my Chicago brown dog). 🐕. That’s a real breed !!!!
Working and planning my day w/Ms. Serena ✔️✔️. She’s my day planner 🤗🤗
So glad it’s the weekend, hoping I will be able to catch up with my Scarlet Story’s…Husband has been on the DL, that’s the Disabled List in Baseball terminology so it’s been a stressful week, Hospital, procedures, hoping & praying for the best of outcomes. On top of that our electricity has been sketchy b/c of all the storms. No A/C until today…Good thing too b/c it’s suppose to get hot and stormy.
The letter’s I have missed our ‘ H ‘, ‘ I ‘ and ‘ G ‘… I will try to catch up with those prompts.. Today I’m going to start with the letter, ‘ H ‘… I’ve been thinking about it for awhile and of course it has to “(H)ockey” .
Having all those boys around all of my life, believe me I know every season, sport, player’s, yadayadayada. Right now all the boys (including the husband) are busy playing fantasy baseball whatever that is. I can remember when our Connorwas just a lil guy walking around the house saying, “Isn’t there a ballgame on or something.” It was inbetween basketball and baseball after the NCAA. I think this is the 1st year I didn’t make a bracket. Being honest, Connie always made my bracket anyways…That was sweet of him, letting me be a part of their sports world.
My love for Hockey started back in I think 2016…We were in Minnesota watching the Chicago Blackhawks in the playoffs and when they won, Connor picked me up and threw me on the bed. From that moment on, I was hooked. So many great memories…
I’m going to start with Jim Cornelison sing the National Anthem…You will never hear anyone sing this better than he does. Perfection !!!
They started their run on winning the 3 Stanley Cups in 2010, Philadelphia Flyers, 2013 , Boston Bruins i.e. game referred to as 17 seconds and 2015, Tampa Bay Lighting…So exciting. You must watch the video…So much fun and they won the Cup in that game !!!You must watch the video below. An amazing finish to the season !!!” 17 Seconds ” Bam!!!
We’ve traveled all over as a family to hockey games in Cinncinati, The Winter Classic in D.C. on New Year’s Day, so much fun making all those memories w/the boys and their wives !!! Different cities, hotels, all the things 🙂 …Need to have some more music for the games
I needed to add this one !!! Love my Blackhawk’s. That team was unstoppable!!!This one’s for you Connor!!!!!
