So here we are in 1971 or 72 ? Can't remember exactly but what do you think? Young is the word...wished I knew what was in those presents..the Raggedy Andy doll my sister made for my son...and now Hattie is playing with it. Check out the my shag hairdo..and my hubbys facial hair...cool? So we have been married along time and he has been a very good husband and father. He was in Viet Nam and when I married him I had no idea anything what it was like to be in a War...I was so naive and ignorant of alot of things. He is my best friend and I dont know what I would do without him. Well enough said...hope you all have a wonderful Christmas..sally

Where has the time gone? Sorry I havent posted for awhile. Our computor got a huge virus so it was down for awhile and plus as you know I dont have all the time in the world to post. So here is Hattie with Santa. This is her first time to meet him..hasnt she grown? She looks like a little grown up girl in this picture but she is only 19 months. She is so much fun.
I got a laptop computor and so this post I am trying out to see how easy it was to pick up pictures...and it is sooooo easy and cant tell you why it was hard with our old computor that got a virus..but I think now I will maybe post more...show you all my xmas decor...So until next time...sally

Scarey witch holding Miss Bumble Bee!

I was a witch again for the 3rd year in a row. I need to change that and vow to work on dressing up as some thing else this next year. So here is Hattie Jane with me (grandma) visiting her on Halloween night. So today Ive been working on taking down Halloween decorations and when Hattie gets here on tuesday she will be upset because she made me turn on the lights in the pumpkins while she was here. We even had a ghost that when you clapped your hands the ghost traveled on this cord...Hattie would start clapping even before she got to my front porch. So no ghost. So soon it will be Thanksgiving, so will leave some of the fall decorationg out. I have turkeys everywhere. As I may have said before that I was raised on a turkey farm..Was very interesting. It would be wonderful if every child that was born could be raised on a farm. It is wonderful place to grow up.. Until next time...happy blogging. Sally

Hattie as Miss Bumble Bee!

Hattie turns 18 months today...she has been to- I think about 4 parties for Halloween this season. She is quit the party girl. Here she is as a bumble bee. We've had a lot of fun with her this Halloween. Last night there was a party in her home with her little friends..we went to visit her and give her her Halloween gift bag..I dressed as a witch and I thought she would be scared of me but she was so busy entertaining her friends I was no big deal...but she loved her gift bag. Hope you all had a great Halloween day yesterday...Sally

Hattie jane!

Hattie is becoming a grown up little girl. This was taken at her other grandmothers home and the wicker chair is just always waiting for her there. Her grandmother made that pumpkin place mat that she is holding. Hattie is ready for Halloween and cant wait. Until next time. Don't let the goblins get you!! sally

Hattie's first trip to the ocean!

Hattie Jane is now 17 months and loving life. This was her first trip to the Oregon coast and first family trip with her mom and dad. You can tell she loved it like she loves everything she experiences for the first time. Like I have said before I babysit her 3 days a week...So much fun. I cant wait for the day I can teach her to paint. She would love to get into my painting room. I have let her get into a box of cards and they were thrown all over the place.
By the way how do you like my blogs new header and wall paper. Thanks to The Fairy Graphics. She has some wonderful projects and great graphics. Thanks Karen.
I would like to thank everyone that has commented on my blog..I am so thrilled when I hear from you all. Bye for now...sally

Baby Robin with a new Home!

Finally I got to paint the other nite. I decided to put this cute little robin in a teacup. I just love the old moldings , especially this one with the hook. But one of these days I will take some pictures of the inside out new home. We worked half the day today hanging a few pics. With husband giving his advice..grrr. Do you have trouble with hubbys butting in...all I want him to do is for him to do what I tell him. He finally said you know this is my home too. I said really...Im awful aren't I. Well I always tell him that I am pretty visual and observe the way pictures look..since I am a decorator magazine junkie. The kind that your hubby has to get the hand truck out to move the stack..but I did let alot go when we made the major move last april. So back to the picture hanging...I got all of them up the way I wanted. We have high ceilings...very hard to figure out... But I still have lots of pictures to hang yet..but Im the type to really think about a few at a time as to where they go. Well Ive rambled on enough...So for now I will send this post off to blog land...Until next time Sally
