Default Life is Good

Hi had such a wonderful weekend that I just wanted to share it.

Yesterday(saturday) I went and picked up my two grandchildren, Tyler (5) and James(17 months) I haven't been able to see them since June so it was quite a treat.

We went to the park and of course I took lots of pics so when I get some time I'll put them in my profile.

We came home and had pizza night which they loved. Played on the trampoline and had a huge bon fire with smores hmmm

Today we went to a restaurant where we all surprised my sweet grandma with a 98th birthday party. She was so surprised!!!!

All 5 generations were there. We ate and she opened presents and we took tons of pics.

She is such a miracle. I am so very thankful to still have her!

Thanks for listening!!!!

That's wonderful Beth! Time spent with family is always time well spent. Bet you did some spoiling of those grandson's, too!

Grandma tells me her secret to longevity is her nip of Brandy everynight for the last 75 years. LOL

Also I had a spat with my son a few months ago so I chose to back off for awhile but after not seeing my beautiful grandchildren since June I bit the bullet and called him.

It was tough and I did let him know I have not forgiven him but I want to see the kids. He said no problem and we met half way.

At my gram's party he sat next to me at dinner and I actually enjoyed his company. (still waiting for an apology and him fixing what he screwed up on)

But all in all I spoiled those kids like there was no tomorrow

Beth I had a Gr Uncle that said the same thing about his "Whiskey". He lived to me 94 and passed of Cancer.

I can stand to drink Whiskey.... but it is still a great idea!

That is great of you to put your feelings aside to your son to see your grandsons - and I am sure they missed you and sounds like you all had a wonderful time!

Maybe sitting beside you at the party is a first step with your son. Since he is your son I am sure in time he will talk to you!
