Questions:

1.  If you had to eat only one food for the rest of
your life, what would it be? It has to be potatoes. I wasn't born Irish for nothing! I am yet to find a way to fix them that I don't like, let me take that back, I'm not fond of them mashed with turnips! (saw that one day on a cooking show)

Never met a french fry I didn't like!



2.  Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them?  Its hard enough for me to post, preview and publish without worrying about posting them at a later time.

3.  Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Once when I was about five and was runover by a teenager on a bicycle. And again, a few years ago when we were rear ended at a red light. Not fun!

4.  What is your favorite candle scent? I love anything that smells of cinnamon.

Maybe I like cinnamon because of these!

5.  Coffee or tea?

Oh I am coffee person, all the way, don't even like tea when I'm in England. Nothing like a hot cuppa coffee in the morning with one of those cinnamon rolls just above!

Date Night

Have you ever heard of two old people like us still enjoying each others company! I said to Julie (our oldest daughter) yesterday that her Dad and I were going out last night. She said, "hope yawl, (she's from the deep south) have a great time, I know how much yawl like your date nights." I thought that was pretty neat talking about old folks and date night.
First, we went out to eat.

Then we went to hear the Oklahoma City Philharmonic play a tribute to Irving Berlin. We have season tickets to the Pops and try not to miss, and I'm sure glad we didn't miss this one. It was wonderful.

                             

OKC Philharmonic (Pops): Irving Berlin -- From Ragtime to Ritzes

Known as the "Dean" of American Songwriters, Irving Berlin penned hundreds of songs, and many were major hits. He was a "legend" before he turned 30 and was nominated eight times for Academy Awards. From his first hit "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to "Puttin' on the Ritz" to the anthem "God Bless America," the music of Irving Berlin ... was indescribable.

And, after that, we went dancin! 

No we didn't, we were home watching Letterman before 11PM.

Have a great weekend, one and all!

Our Triplets

Okay, everyone. I know you've been eagerly awaiting an update on our babies. For those of you who are new to my blog, our Granddaughter, Sarah, had triplets on November 20th. Konner,and identicals, Kyleigh and Kennedy. They all weighed in the 3 lb. range. They were born in Clarksville, Tennessee and then transported to Nashville to the NICU there.
We went to see them a week or so after they were born and here is the proud great Grandmama holding one of the little ones.

Here are a few more pictures.

They are just so much alike, their Mother can't tell them apart even.  She keeps pink fingernail polish on Kyleigh's thumb for now, hoping when they're a little older something will differentiate them.

Couldn't resist adding this picture.  It's my daughter, Donna, giving Kyleigh her first bottle. Look at that tiny little head, about the size of an apple and those big eyes taking it all in. So sweet!














The picture in the overalls is the latest we've gotten.  Konner weighs a whopping 15 lbs. and the girls almost 13lbs.  We went back to see them right after they came home from the hospital and they are just so cute.  Don't you agree?

Can't wait to see them again.

Over 40 Hop!

Have a great Friday everyone!

Want to Know More!

This is a cute "get to know better" blog over at http://dollycas.blogspot.com/ so hop on over and enjoy the fun.  Here are this week's questions:

1. Are you a bath or shower person?

I love taking hot soaking baths, however, I mostly take showers.  There's a big deep whirlpool tub in Debra's bathroom and I tried it once, the key word here is "once!"  I thought hubs was going to have to call a man with a crane to get me out of that tub. Never again.  Besides I have to wash my hair and I can't do that while sitting in a tub, right!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  Do you bathe/shower in the morning or at night?

I usually shower in the morning, however, after a long, hot, sweaty day in the summer, I'll take a shower before bed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Do you have a hot tub or swimming pool?

Would love to have either one.

 

Have a great week, everyone!

Springtime

Nothing says Springtime quite like a preschool spring play.  My little grandson, Quinn, is the little redheaded guy, for those of you who haven't read my earlier posts.  His preschool had the cutest little play right before spring break called "Creep Crawlers!"  He played the part of an orange, don't ask me what that had to do with creepy crawlers, cuz I don't know.  His mom and I wondered if they chose him for the part of an orange for his hair color, just wonderin!

He was so shy at first, but after a couple of songs and a few minutes, he became a ham. The teachers do an amazing job with those little ones.  What a fun way to spend an afternoon!

(Sorry these are blurred, I still haven't figured out how to use my new camera.)

One proud Grandmama

Monday

Questions:
1.  Crunchy or soft tacos?
Gosh, a tough question, I like both, Mexican food of any sort being my favorite, but I guess I would have to saaaaayyyy, crunchy.

 



2.  Do you  scrapbook?
I've made one scrapbook and that was for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  I think it turned out really well, but I just didn't  get into it after that.





3.  Do you take any daily medications?
Oh my goodness, I should say so.  I hate having to take it but would certainly not like the alternative.
Some of the things I take are for high blood pressure, hormones and anti-depressants (this one so I can maintain my sweet personality instead of the evil one).  And, I must not forget the ever needed baby aspirin (my son is a cardiologist).



4.  What is your favorite sound?
I love to hear a baby giggle and I love to hear a champagne cork pop, cuz with the latter, there is bound to be a party.





5.  Where were you born?
I was born in Louisiana, in Shreveport to be exact, at home.  I was born before they had hospitals, just kidding, but my parents chose for me, their 5th child, and only girl, to be born at home.  Shreveport is in the deep south, lots of pine trees, azaleas in the spring and of course, lots of water, its on the Red River and has lots of hunting and fishing in the area.

The pin marks the spot!
