Meet Francis


Every Tuesday I go to the home to visit Jewel....but I have to find Francis....She is usually in the main room looking great. I have never seen her dose off...She is sharp as a tack.... She is 100 years old....She lights up when she sees me....who wouldn't?.... she is a sweet thing....tiny as can be....I could put her in my pocket. She can't hear thunder, so talking with her is a challenge...I am usually screaming at her...and about the third time, she hears me....too cute! This week she was telling me about her dad...he was a dentist and then she proceeded to show me which were her real teeth and which ones weren't......I needed to know that...Anyway, here she is.....Thought you would want to see what 100 years looks like.....No....I am not talking about the one on the left!......ha!

Plastic Jesus

Plastic Jesus

At my kitchen sink I look across and can see my neighbors house. Every year they put up their plastic nativity scene at Christmas...it is all lit up. I can’t help but smile, cause unlike most folks, I LOVE this little scene....
You can see the same thing on a lot of yards this time of year. Mary and Joseph leaning over the baby with their plastic smiles and their plastic clothes...
Today I babysat Laura Jo...a thrill of mine as a grandma....she was fascinated with my nativity scene inside the house as well....and went right for Jesus and his bed...the hay went all over the floor.....she must have put him in and out of that bed for hours....and kissing him goodnight...and hugging him....so sweet I could hardly stand myself!
I can see why Jesus said....”let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Yes indeed!
As I watched Laura Jo hug and kiss Jesus goodnight, I prayed right there that she would always love Him and at night, He would be right there tucking her in for a good night’s sleep.
The plastic Jesus’ all over town might not do anything for you...but they certainly do it for me...for you see.....it’s not the plastic that that gets to me....it is the light inside..

Lottie came for a visit

This child loves my ipad!

She is taking good care of her babies...

Playing with rocks never is boring


No, these did not fall out of my head.....at least I don't think so!

This is what I did today...



Here is Laura Jo helping me in the kitchen make brownies.....She even got to lick the spoon!
