She Was Born On Veteran's Day,

1974. I was almost 11 years old. Laura (I called her LOLLY and sang ADVERBS to her) was the cutest little thing, she wore those tan earth shoes with the red shoe laces. She had (has) the cutest cheeks and really got sick of all my luvs when she was little dittle. Now she has her own darling kids with beautiful eyes and darling cheeks! And yes, she was really disappointed to find out what adverbs are, lol.

I lived with Lolly, her little brother and mom when I was 17/18...she came and stayed with me one summer while I was going to summer school and she took care of my kids. She also worked in the garden, cleaned house etc. We became close friends at that time.
She took me under her emotional wing when I went through my divorce. I don't now how I would have made it without her friendship.
That was almost 10 years ago. Since then, we've remained close, always in touch via internet.
She's a precious woman, niece, mother, aunt, cousin...
but most of all, she is my friend, my confidant, my lolly popster. Have a good day, lolly, I wished I could be there and make that indian taco for you! I love you VERY much!

We Caved In...

For years, there was NO Tv. Saturday, we finally broke down.

George wanted to help with vacuuming the dust from the holes Scott had to cut out of the cement walls...
We decided putting the cords behind the wall was a much better idea. So, preparations were made.
The wall mount is on, next is to get the dang TV out of the box!
For whatever reason, this is the part that made Scott cuss the most.

Up and double-checked for proper placement. George likes it.
Up and signals scanned (we still refuse to have cable or satellite).
But most importantly, we love the best entertainment of all!

Wow.

This has to be one of my laziest weekends, ever!
