Here we are ~ Friday April 21.  I left Alabama on Thursday, April 13 and drove to Dallas (Grapevine actually). On Friday the 14th I met the Windsor L2L team a the Gaylord Texan ~ that was awesome to see!  The girls did well for their first time out ~ Sarah got second in speech, both got finalist in Songs of Praise, and their puppet show WON the seventh grade division.  On Monday, Kim and I drove back to Alabama.

Tuesday morning VERY EARLY I drove to Calera to help with Greyson and Briggs.  I had forgotten how tired little people can make me ~ but loved every minute of it .... well maybe NOT the stinky diapers.  I got to see Greyson's school and on Thursday before I left we had a little one on one at Burger King ~ ice cream and playground.

When I got back to our house last night Buck had bought KFC so I didn't have to cook ~ yea!

Today I am running errands for Mother, picking up some medicine at CVS, sitting at the library (at this time), and MAYBE going to watch Jakob run.  He has a two day event so I'm hoping to make it to one of them.

Tomorrow is Greyson's birthday party and that will end out week....

Good morning!  
Monday and I'm up and ready to get the week going!  I'll be driving Mother today and going to Walmart for a few things for my Dallas trip.  Tomorrow we will get groceries for the house, the car serviced, and watch Greyson play tee ball.  I forgot his cap on Saturday so I already have it in the car to take to the game tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a good week ahead and enjoyed the weekend just past.  We had Greyson with us for a couple of nights and it was wonderful.  He loves to play outside and that was great for me.  We kicking a ball around and went for a walk to see the goats that live down the road.
He is also a good builder (knock 'em down) so we did that and read books and watched a couple of movies ~ one way to get him to be still and relax before bed.  We always did that when Jakob and Topher would come spend the night with us.  They don't do that anymore ~ too big ~ too many other things going on.  
It may be Tuesday of next week before I post again.  Monday I will be driving.... and then Tuesday I will be helping with Greyson and Briggs.... so it may be Friday....  a Magra needs to rest sometimes.  :-)

Here we are on a rainy Monday morning at 5:15 a.m.  Why am I awake?  Who knows....
So, what are your plans for the week?  Mondays are one of the days I drive Mother around ~ not sure she'll go out today because of the rain.

We are having a gospel meeting at Sixth Avenue Church of Christ with a very dynamic speaker ~ David Shannon ~ until Wednesday night ~ 7 p.m. each evening 

Tuesday Jakob is supposed to run ~ not sure where yet.  Thursday Greyson has a ballgame AND we get to bring him home with us!!  Alas, we have to return him on Saturday.  

Hope you have a great week ~ see you soon.

Good morning!
Last Monday of March and we survivied!!  Sarah, Claire, and Greyson are out of school this week for Spring Break.  I know we won't see Sarah and Claire but we are hoping to see Greyson.  Buck has a new "issue" with his diabetes.  We are waiting to hear from a specialist and until then everything is pretty much on hold.  I'll keep you posted....
Since it is Monday, I will be driving Mother today.  We are going to take new flowers out to Daddy and then have lunch.  Teresa will be with us today....
Time to get myself up and moving ~ those dishes from yesterday aren't going to wash themselves.

Good morning and Happy First Day of Spring!!!
We are going to watch Greyson play tee ball this evening ~ until then.... nothing much matters.  
It is Monday so I will be driving Mother wherever she needs to go to take care of whatever she needs to take care of ~ don't ask.
Hope your week is wonderful....

It's another beautiful day in Alabama!  We are having the usual spring like weather that consists of warm sunny days followed by windy cold rainy days.  One of the reasons people stay sick a lot this time of year.  Also, if people would stay home when they are sick instead of insisting they go to work, school, shopping, whatever there would not be as much spread around, yes?

So, what's on your agenda?  I am going with Buck to the cardiologist today.  It's a 2 p.m. appointment so WHO KNOWS when we will finish.  He usually likes to have them early and get it over with but due to some scheduling rearrangement ~ here we are.  Tomorrow I will take Mother to have her taxes done ~ shouldn't there be a time when you DON'T have to do that??  The rest of the week is sort of blurry right now :-)

Hope everyone had a good weekend and survived the return of Daylight Savings Time ~ YEA??

Here we are again ~ Monday

I did my usual Monday thing ~ drove Mother to do her errands and went to lunch with her and Teresa.  Got home and Buck was eating his lunch but he was planning to go to town.  I told him to give me an hour of quiet and I would go with.  Being retired is turning out to be TIRING!!

Jakob has another meet this week ~ hopefully it won't be freezing cold.  Greyson starts games on the 20th so we are going to be busy this month.  I love it!!

Tuesday is grocery shopping.  I used to do it first thing in the morning but now that Buck goes with me we do it on his schedule.... later.  He doesn't like self check but I do so since I'm the one that does it ~ we self check (Point for me)

Til next week ~ keep your head up
