OT....my special day

11 years ago

I finally got to meet, and get my hands on, my great-grandson! He and his mama are visiting here for 2 wks, then back to Ala. But will return for Christmas with us.

He looks kind of serious here but I got lots of sweet smiles later.

and we snapped a 4 Generations picture....me with

my daughter Alissa, granddaughter Meagan, and young Bransen.

hugs, Karen

Beautiful pic of 4 beautiful ladies and one handsome little feller. I know you are thrilled to get to see him . I have one that I have not gotten to see either.There's nothing like GK and GGks. Grayson has worn me out today. He learned how to turn summersaults, but he called them flip-flops. He's flip-floped all day, in the yard, on the couch or in the floor. That is some great pics of you all. TFS Janet

Just a heads up for everyone who thinks they might be looking for a certain variety next year--November 12 is the last day to fax a Special Order Fruit Tree (SOFT) order for a Dave Wilson tree from participating nurseries in 2010. I was just on Bay Laurel's website and their dwarf Minnie Royal's are already sold out! But you can still order one with SOFT!

I donÃ¢ÂÂt usually do stuff like this, but I am enthusiastic about Jim McParland and his knowledge and the way he presents his topics. I strongly demand that if you are ever aware of this man presenting something you must go. I will provide some information from his bio: he graduated from QueenÃ¢ÂÂs University (Canada) with degrees in geology and education, he taught high school chemistry, biology, physics and geology for 30 years. He coached soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf and track. He directed and produced 25 musicals and was responsible for bringing professional summer theatre to Gananoque, Ontario. And, he had no problem with giving out his email address, with an invitation to ask him questions after the cruise. He is one of the most amazing men I have ever met!

Did you make a big special dinner on your range day one?
Q
Comments (7)
I agree with all the other advice about breaking in your new range first. Definitely burn off all the oils in the oven. Also be sure to clean off any dust and dirt that may reappear after the first few cycles. Besides the oven, give the broiler a few runs (without any food underneath) too. Of course you can start having fun cooking over the burners right away. Once you're past the break in period, might want to start with some simple stuff to see how it all works in terms of temperature, flame size, and heat distribution. For me, baking a few trays of cookies was a good way to learn how the oven really worked.

On her birthday I was going to make a cake for Jan, basically because I wanted to play around at decorating a cake, but she shot that idea down saying it wasn't on her diet... Well diet be damned, I am gonna make her a valentines cake complete with red roses on it, and if she don't like it, I guess I will have to eat it to,,,,but I am going to make it anyway.

Janet, I loved the story of Grayson's "flip flops". Totally adorable. Need pix of that!

Thanks, Jane. I seem to be sharing these photos with everyone who's crossed my path. LOL. Still can't believe I am a great-grandmama! Bransen is already 3 months old, sure wish he lived here with rest of our family. I miss Meagan here too, she moved to Ala. some years ago. She's always been so special to all of us. Her dad's family is all there to spoil Bransen, so he's got a LOT of people who love him to pieces already.

hugs, Karen

He sure holds his head up well for such a little guy! Think he was wondering what all the excitement was about--HIM! They are so sweet & precious & grow up so quickly. So good to get the generation pics. We had everybody together 4 yrs ago. More kids now & almost impossible to get everyone together. Will be such fun at Christmas,he'll be into everything!! Then you will get to be a kid again watching him! Jan

He is absolutely darling! But then, based on that picture, he is swimming in a pretty darn amazing gene pool!! LOL
Your DD and DGD are just gorgeous, but they obviously got it from you! What a beautiful family and the 4 generation picture is one to treasure. You sure don't look like a great-grandma, but I am positive you are a GREAT, as in super, Grandma!

Enjoy your visit and I am so glad you will get to spend Christmas with them! I think Bransen is one lucky little boy and glad he will be spoiled wherever he goes!

I just love those little bare feet! I'll bet you are just loving kissing those little baby toes!

Thank you so much for sharing this joyous moment with us!
I am so happy for you right now!

Give Bransen a hug for me.

Awwww, Candy, thank you so much. You made me smile about the gene pool. LOL.

And Jan, yes he IS strong. Hard to believe he just turned 3 months old. He already wants to "stand" instead of sit, he locks those little bitty legs and you can't make him bend 'em to sit! Too funny.

This is actually the 3rd photo I have of 4 generations! The first one has my grandmother, my mom, me, and my daughter when she was a freshman. Then the next one is my mom, me, my daughter, and Meagan as a little girl. The third is for Jason...my dad, my husband, Jas, and his first born son. So that gives him a 4 generation one too. ;o)

I can't resist sharing these two of Jason and Suzie getting to meet their "great nephew" for the first time.....(Meagan is Jason's niece, so not sure what the correct term is for Bransen, but he IS great. LOL)

I love the sweetness of this photo....such a contrast with Jas' badly burned skin against that soft new baby skin. Makes me want to cry as well as smile.

hugs, Karen
