Life in my part of Georgia has been about the same. We just keep getting older and hopefully wiser. This past weekend two of my kids planned a birthday party for the other kid - Carrie. Her birthday is really this Wednesday, but this was a good time for us all to get together. There were 17 people there. Spaghetti was the menu of the day with chocolate birthday cake with fudge icing and purple roses and writing. It was a very nice day except for the half hour it poured - we got 1" in that time. Then Cobii and Jewel HAD to stomp in the mud puddles. They had so much fun.

Some of us stayed up till nearly midnight after the party. We had a small fire since everything was wet, and we just enjoyed the great evening. There was a nice breeze and not hot at all. My one project I had for the weekend did not get done. I wanted to get the toy box moved, so I can have my space back.

Pictures below are Cobii and her new Little Tykes digital camera that I gave her for her birthday. She has had lots of fun taking pictures of everything. This picture I took of her during "camera training" class.
I think I mentioned before she had taken pictures of half a cat. Here is one of them along with her own half feet.
She is getting better - all of Oma is in this one.
This I thought was a nice picture of the fog. Not sure why all those trees on the right are so black, but the tree in the fog looks good.

This picture I took. She was saying "I did it".

I have not tried a video yet, but here is one. I made it short to see if it would send. If that works I will send a little bit longer one and see how large of a file will post.

I have finally shown up again on my blog. This past weekend was great! I had Cobii a good share of Saturday, overnight, and till Sunday afternoon. We had a fun time. She mostly played "Muppett Babies" on the computer. It is a preschool program with matching, finding the difference in things, etc. She did fantastic! She was happy to receive all the medals possible. I was a bad Oma as I did not take the first picture this weekend. Other than regular things, there was nothing else exciting.

I have been watching the roof going up on the Church. It is progressing quite nicely and is looking good. Also, I have been keeping up with the blogs. Lynda's ironing looks good, maybe I can send mine to her.

I had a Dr. appointment today - just a regular 6 month check up. I went fasting as they always do blood work. He said since my blood work has always been consistent with everything where it belongs, he would not order blood work this time. I went without my coffee and muffin this AM for nothing. The coffee part was the worse. On the subject of Drs., Melissa had an Atlanta appointment Monday. She is right on track where she needs to be, other than being quite tired all the while. Besides her just doing too much, her Dr. said that is par for the course with her blood disease. She was so hoping they would just tell her to get more iron or something in her. At least it is not a bad thing.

Bless everyone.
