Gramma's Just Wanna Have Fun!

I was listening to CNN but they went to the White House for a Press Briefing and I had to change the station.  I tend not to believe much of the stuff that comes out of the White House I'm sorry to say.  The truth is probably in there somewhere but I don't like filtering through the political and manipulative bullstuffing (you thought I was going to say something else....LOL)  to get there.  Ahhh,  enough about that. 

Enough of the orange, too.  I like oranges and orange flowers but not orange font.  Like I said in my morning title, I need some F U N.  I'm in the mood to spend some time with my grandchildren.  There is a cute movie out called Cars that I know Nathan would love and Megan would enjoy.  If Megan has a 1/2 day next week I'm going to go down and kidnap the two of them and take them to see it.  I'll go early so I can have time with Andrew before we go.  That little guy is turning out to be such a character!  His personality is really starting to blossom and he delights me to no end! 

Oh, a funny story about Megan.  When she was here the last time, she was at my desk and noticed that Cari's birthday was noted on my calendar.  She looked down to the 29th and noticed HER birthday was not written in the block.  Into the kitchen she came, "Grandma, how come Cari's birthday is on your calendar but mine is  not?"   I explained that Cari had written her name on the calendar herself.  "Oh, can I write my name on the calendar?"  She asked with eyes sparkling.  I told her, "Of course!!"   I got busy and didn't check the calendar until after they left.  There on the 29th of June is a fully decorated square.  It has a red background with her name in black. She also went upstairs and got a rose sticker out of my scrap booking stash (which is OK) and added it.  I laughed because that is so Megan!  She is my little drama queen, princess, self-assured, almost 7 year old girl.  I won't forget her birthday with that to remind me!

Lots of fun things are coming up.  The Angels are coming back to town.  Den and I are going Friday night. The good news:  They are doing better and are winning more than they are losing right now.   Next weekend we have two graduation parties on Saturday.  One in the afternoon for our friend's son.  We've know Ryan since he was a baby and now he's graduating from high school.  { Oh, gosh, I should write an entire blog on my car pooling days when I used to pick up Cari, Ryan and his brother, Robert, and Chad and Kristin (a brother/sister from up the street) from school every day for 13 years!!!  The kids went to a private school about 7 miles from here so we parents had to provide transportation.  The things those kids would say and do kept me laughing for 13 years and made car pooling more of a fun thing than a chore.}  Sorry, I got side tracked.  There's another graduation party across the street that celebrates a college graduation, a high school graduation and a middle school graduation.  Wow and 3 for 1 offer....  I just wanted to write about positive things that are going on and put the focus on moving forward.  I haven't lost my sense of humor and I still stop and smell the roses and hope a bee doesn't fly up my nose.

This is the day the Lord has made.  Be glad and rejoice in it.
