Christmas is Next Week

I am looking forward to Christmas at my daughter's.  I will get to see my latest new little great granddaughter for the first time.  There will be lots of little ones to open their gifts.  Also will be lots of good food and many treats.  Everyone does so much baking of fine cookies and candy this time of the year.  I hope the weather cooperated and is nice so everyone can travel here. It is so dark and gloomy today that I have a lamp on so I can see this keyboard.  There won't be any sunshine today :0(

New Baby Great Grandaughter

Since I last wrote, I gained a beautiful new baby great granddaughter.  She is the first for her parents so they are really happy.  They are enjoying the baby sooo much.  That makes 17 great grandchildren for me now.  What a blessing.

Children Birthdays

There are a great many of my great grandchildren's birthdays in November.  There also are several in December. Three out of 4 of my own are in November and December.  My sister's birthday is in December and my brother's birthday is in November.  They seem to be really popular months for births.  We are all waiting anxiously now for the birth of a little great grandgirl who is due November 24.  That will make 17 for me.  Quite a blessing, wouldn't you agree? Another thing to be thankful on Thanksgiving.

Costumes for Halloween

Three great grandchildren stopped in their costumes.  They had been out Trick and Treating.  Their folks brought them by so I could see them.  I got my camera out and took pictures. I didn't do the best job of taking the pictures though.  It was so cold Kaelyn had to wear her coat.  It was a chilly night for the kids.

Old Becomes New

This is our neighbors old beat up trailer house.  They moved it out Sunday after they moved everything into their new home.  They are finishing up details on the new house.  The landlord is going to totally renew the old one and rent it out.  Our neighbors are so glad to have a big trailer now with their big family.  I don't know how they survived in the little one.  They are very happy.

The old brown one way back in the center is their old house.

Police Car

I think nothing could be more exciting to children than a Police Car.  It has so much equipment inside of it.  They love to hear the siren too.  They are having fun for a few minutes in their Grandpa's car. It doesn't seem that long ago when his children were small and looking out the window of his Highway Patrol Car. It's great fun!

Neighbor's Dog

The neighbors have a big loving black Lab dog.  He had to have his pen made quite a bit smaller while they remodeled their new home.  The other day, they were able to put in a new pen with more space.  He has a great building to go into in bad weather.  They put a heat lamp and blankets in it when it gets really cold in the winter time.  We all feed him and he loves the attention.  He's a great friendly dog and loves everyone.
