Thank you, Veterans!

My sister, the school teacher, asked me to email her a picture of Dad for a Veterans Day wall her class was creating.  Here is the finished product.

I wish Dad were alive today so I could tell him how honored I am that he was my father.  

Dad died at 53 years old.  Wow, that's young. 

 I miss him to this day.

A blink of an eye...  and you might miss it.  

So don't blink!  

Have a beautiful Veterans Day everyone...  

And to all those who served...

  

THANK YOU!

Gracie and I are still chilling from Blogger but we hope to be back real soon.  I am tempted to just get in here and start seeing what you all have been up to...  but then one thing would lead to another and before you know it, I'd be hooked again and this painting would not get done and neither would my book.  

Miss you all!  Will be back soon....

Taking a Break

I had one more 'late' Trick or Treater, my grandson Jake.  When it was time to go home, he told his parents to go ahead and leave...  he's staying with Grammy and Pop Pop.  LOL.  

You gotta love 'em!

Well, it's that time of year again...  and Sunday we will turn our clocks back.  Not my favorite time of year, but this year is so much better than last year was at this time and I am so very thankful for everything.  

every day.  every family member.  every friend. 

 thankful!

Updates:

The new business:  Awesome!  The best move we ever made.  I am so happy with my work now.  We are busy, and the big wooden ear is well known in our area.  We do a lot of advertising, but word of mouth seems to be our best source of advertising.  Blessed!!

The new grand baby:  Should be here within the next month.  Mom and baby are healthy.

Gracie:   Aside from a flea now and again...  she's doing well... as feisty as ever.  

My Memoir (book):  Coming along slowly.

Gracie and I have decided to take a blog break.  There are some things I need to work on but am procrastinating.  One of them is my book.  

Hope you're all having a beautiful fall.  We'll see you soon!

Time

 Is time going super fast... or is it just me?

They say the older you get, the faster time passes.

I'm not sure who 'they' are...  but if what 'they' say is true, then it'll be over before we know it.

Enjoy today!
