Lori, Paulie, Matt, you have been tagged…..
I am tagging Lori, it’s time to start a blog……and tagging Matt and Paulie, you all have to write 10 things about yourselves and send them to 10 other bloggers…….hopefully you know more bloggers than I do…….of course Matt has already done it……
Thanks Grandson Matt……..I have been tagged and am supposed to tell 10 things about myself and send my blog to 10 other bloggers…….HA, I dont know 10 other bloggers, but here goes……..
1. I was born in Stockbridge, Michigan a long, long time ago…..since then I have lived in Eaton Rapids, Munith, Stockbridge, Leslie and Tavares & Leesburg Florida……not bad for that many years. I don’t know where or when my next move will be. I have given it a lot of thought and nothing is clear at the moment…….
2. I married young but it was the right thing to do and I had 56 wonderful (mostly) years with the love of my life……nothing is completely perfect but it was close.
3. I am very fortunate to have 3 wonderful daughters and their great husbands…….I am looking forward to visiting with all of them in June. They are all very successful, thoughtful & loving people. I think their father had a lot to do with them being that way.
4. Now for the grandchildren, 8 of them. The two eldest Kevin & Kyle live in Texas, I just heard that Kevin & Holly are building a new house in Fate, Texas……I am so excited for them. Kyle & Cindy moved into their new home last year and I am looking forward to seeing both of them when Kevin has moved into his this fall. Korey & Angie also have a new home in Michigan & Kimby is nearby in Ann Arbor and I will see all of them soon. Matt lives in Georgetown, KY with his family (read his blog for all the detaiils). Ben lives in Jackson but plans to move to Leslie when they get done renovating the house they are working on. Adam & Drew are both in college. Adam at Lawrence Tech in Southfield and Drew at Community College in Grand Rapids…….I am so proud of all my “Grands”…..
5. Now for my “Greats”, there are 7 of them. I just got new pictures of Travis, and have recent ones of Ryan and Mallory, what more could a great-grandmother ask for. Then there are Haven, & Mason in Michigan and Ethan and Emma in Kentucky. I look forward to seeing all of the Michigan and Kentucky ones in June, cant wait…..If no one minds I would like to think of Elizabeth Humphries as one of my greats too…….she is in Florida and I love babysitting her occasionally.
6. I keep myself busy with dancing mostly. I have 2 or 3 lessons a week, sometimes a half hour each sometimes an hour. Today we worked on the Tango and West Coast Swing. There is a Showcase at the studio June 1 that I will be dancing in. Today I went to see if my knee would be able to take it and I think I did OK.
7. About my knee, I went to a new orthopedic doctor yesterday and he told me I do not have a torn ligament, I need a NEW knee. Isn’t that great??? Not at all what I wanted to hear. So, I am going the cortisone shot way to see how long I can prolong it. What does my nurse grandson think about it? Any opinion Korey? I know it is going to happen, just not yet. I may have the other one re-done at the same time. Two of my friends have offered to stay with me when I get home from the hospital. Carsons wife Kristin and my friend Roma. One days and one nights. I thought that was very nice…..
8. I did not join the theater group this year, just wasn’t in the mood for acting I guess. I do “Good Samaritan” work. It involves taking people to the doctor etc., but only occasionally.
9. I went to the movies today, “Georgia Rule”. It was not what I expected but was good. I don’t like going alone. I would like someone to hold hands with……but their hard to find.
10. Now to wind this up…….I am going to Las Vegas June 7-11 for the first time ever. Going to see “Mama Mia” and maybe “O”…..I am excited about the trip…….then June 26 I am flying to Michigan for a months visit. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, including my stepmom Frances. We are planning a trip to Turkeyville to see “Nunsense”…….a girls day out trip which of course includes a turkey dinner.
