MY NEW MAKEOVER

Here's a before and after picture from the new rejuvenating cream Dad bought me. After my insult at the Assisted living home where Opa resides, I knew I needed a makeover badly.

So here it is, as you can see, the "NEW ME!" Like it? It really is me!!




SEE HOW WELL
THIS CREAM WORKS?
Want the name of the cream?
Sorry you can't have it

Are You New Here?

Some of you have heard this one before, so bear with me. :)

Dad and I were picking up Opa one day, at the Assisted Living Home, and as we were walking down the hall, this elderly lady came up to us and said, "Are you new here?" Since Dad was a few steps ahead of me, he thinks the lady was talking to me...Wow! Is he kidding me? Who has the gray hair?

I am taking a collection for a complete makeover starting right now. Paper or plastic? Doesn't matter. Just send it to me personally and I will send a photo of me before and after. Gotta love it!

Lost Wedding Band

The loss of my wedding band, representing 43 years marriage, has left a hole in my heart. It isn't so much the ring itself, although that is very important to me, but it is a symbol of a vow Dennis and I made to one another on our wedding day back in 1965 when we exchanged those golden bands. We worked and saved for those bands a long time, had them engraved and wore them with love for one another.

In a moment of time, mine was gone, and now, being several weeks later, I still have not found it. I know that the Lord is aware of my loss and I still pray that He will show me where it fell. My love for my husband has not changed by the loss of my ring, but whenever I see his on his finger, I feel the loss on mine. The rings represented our vow to each other and that will never change by the loss of a ring.

Family Rules!

I sat down last night to begin my "blogging" and stared at the computer until I decided to head off to bed. Where does one begin? We just had our Family Reunion here at our house and had 22 people for meals every day. It was a blast! I think it all went pretty good and the grandchildren, all 10 of them, were the best. The weather was hot and humid, which it never is, and we had all our meals outside on the patio. We love our children and their spouses and all the grandchildren so very much and will miss the activities around here. We lead a very quiet, boring life with no children nearby us to visit. There I go again.....lamenting over where God has placed us for ministry without our family near. He knows what's best for us but.......

Our Grandchildren

Hasn't our family grown? These are our 10 grands from age 14 down to 1 and also my Dad.

Our Children and grandpa

Our family reunion shot featuring our five children and my father. We have lots of pictures and will post them as time permits.

Here's a picture of us

Still learning how to manipulate things. I placed the above picture of us taken about a year ago. I'm not sure Nani will like it - if not it will be replaced. What do you think?
