August has come and gone and I will be so glad when we have some cooler weather. It really has been a crazy summer. I don’t have to tell you that. The only sane thing about it was I had a lot of things to do this summer. Usually don’t in the summer months. That is strange because you’d think I would do more in the summer than the winter. But not true with me, I am busier in the winter. Now that I located a flat area around here I will be doing my walking in the cooler months. As long as I can get off the hill, during bad weather, I will be down there. They really keep our roads and hills by us clear of snow.
Greg and Sarah’s Baby will be born 12/9/2010. Can you believe Carol is going to be Grandma again? We are all excited about the baby.
Five great grandbabies. That is a lot for my children since they have been so conservative about having children. I want to thank my grandkids for giving me a few grgrandkids. Life without kids must be a boring life. I used to think, what would it be like not to have to get up take care of five kids. Feed them, help dress them, make sure they tie their shoes so they don’t step on the string and fall. Take them out in the yard and watch them play as most of the places we lived they didn’t have fenced in yards.
The boys played baseball so I was always taking them to ball practice and to games. Gary played ball and Jess just couldn’t wait to be able to play. I think he started a year after Gary. He was in the D league I believe. It was so funny. He was so excited; the coach put him in the center field. The player hit a fly ball out to center. Jess ran up there with his hands out to catch the ball and the ball went right between his hands. He didn’t close his hands as the ball came down. He was so upset. But that was so cute. To see him running and stopping and the ball plopped right through his hands. What an exciting time in my life to do those things with them. Summers were very busy.
LaVella was in brownies and they kicked her out for some reason, can’t remember. Must not have been too important. Maybe when she reads this she can add the reason.
Greg (Carol’s Son) made two trips back this summer one for a concert. He and Sarah, Marcus came back as her family had a baby shower for her. It was very nice to be able to see his Dad and his family. Don’t get to see them too often. It was also good to see Sarah’s family. Hadn’t seen them since Marcus’s birthday party. She has a very nice family. They sure make you feel welcome. It was so funny, every time they would say Grandma I would start to answer. Then realizing I wasn’t the only Grandma there. It was so funny.
As I said last month I was going to put some things in about the family history. There is so much news on it. I think you all just need to go up and read the information on the web site. There is so much information about the things concerning the history. I will be adding more as time goes on.

Well, I am getting ready to go bowling today. I sure hope it goes as well today as it did last week. Gee . . I got a 505 series! The best part of it was I beat my brothers whom have been bowling for years. LOL!!! I have only had a 500 two times in the twelve years I have been bowling. Not really any good. But it is fun to rub it in their face once in awhile when I do well. LOL!!
Well, that is all for now. So have a great day!
Until next time,
Love to all,
Friend, Mom, Barb, Cousin and Auntie
