About Me

I am 5'4", Brown hair, hazel eyes, and single. I just discovered I have a green thumb and love to make sick plants well. I like to read, write poetry, and make new friends. I have two grown sons with families. Between the two of them I have four grandsons and two granddaughters, a grand-female dog as well as a grand-male dog. I know my grandchildren would want me to mention them LOL.

I like the Rockets, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and the Atlanta Braves. I love to crochet, knit, cross-stitch, and take care of my plants. I like to volunteer when I can. I would also like to learn to make quilts but have no idea where to start. They are all so beautiful and warm. I remember my grandmother use to make beautiful ones.

Tomorrow my soon to be 10 yr old grandson "Bubba" is coming to visit me for the weekend. His brother C.J. is going to the other grandparents. Nicholas is in Oklahoma visiting his other grandparents and the other Three with Mom has gone to North Carolina to visit with the other set of grandparents. So...It seems like they are all scattered everywhere.

Nicholas has been calling me on his cell phone everyday to give me the weather report for Oklahoma. He gets so excited but he is still trying to keep it cool. Today my cell phone rung and I answered it and said, "Hi, Nick" only he didn't say hi back. I started calling his name over and over and I could hear noise in the background and then I could here him pick up his cell phone and the line went dead. I called him back and told him that his cell phone called me. He thought I was pulling his leg but I told him it happens a lot if you accidently push the last call the phone will call that number and he thought it was cool that I called him back. Kids are so funny.

I really don't know what I am doing to myself this weekend inviting Bubba to stay til Sunday Morn. He is somewhat hyper and talks a mile a second. Sometimes I have to tell him to slow down so my mind can catch up with the conversation we are having. He is very smart and loves getting on the computer. I have to keep a close watch on him because he will download online games. He is so excited about coming out here to be with me over the weekend that he actually gave up going to his cousin's birthday party at Chuckie Cheese. I am so HONORED!! I really love all my grandkids and they are such a joy for me. The funny things they do and say just tickles me to death. I will let you know if I survive the weekend. HA HA HA
