January 20, one of the biggest days in the history of the United States and Charli's First Birthday, how cool is that!
I had a blast playing with her last night! Les put some batteries in a couple of the VW toys I had and I let her play with the ones I keep on the bottom shelf. She also ate some grits and toast, she liked the grits, I put cheese in them and ate a whole piece of toast and started on another! She's starting on whole milk now, too and drinking from a sippy cup. What was funny is I was holding her as she was eating her toast and she started trying to feed me and make some silly faces! I made faces back and she would laugh that sweet laugh she has.
That's why I am keeping up with this Blog. I hope one day she will read it and know how precious little moments like this are!
It's amazing to me how she is getting around since she just started really walking Wednesday, she was chasing Tye, our grand-dog, around the house! She was turning around on one foot and really doing well.
I really am behind on my book! I need to focus and get it done, Les will be out of work until tomorrow, that really keeps us behind, if it does snow I will be out of work, too, while I could work on the book I need the money for rent so I hope it doesn't!

ADDED

I am adding this since I just got home from work. Les ended up at the Express Care and had to have several shots and take the gout meds that make him sick. He was so pitiful last night he had to crawl because his feet hurt so bad. He has his crutches today. I am keeping up with his Drs. visits this year, last year it was over 20. I tease him if we did ever come across some money the hospital would get it all!

I just talked to Gina, she might go to the movies when Trey gets off. I would love to keep my sweetie awhile!

A couple of pictures from the party. I don't have time to post much right now so I'll add a few later, She really enjoyed being the center of attention! She is walking al over the place and dancing. I am glad the weather cleared up because the morning started out dreary!
Les is having a horrid case of the gout, I hope he can get over it quickly! He was throwing up from the pain!
Have to write more later.

My Doodle Bug's first Birthday party is today! I got up early and made this card with Pink Beauty by Petit Moineaux, I Love her work! It took me awhile to get this one like I wanted it! my MIL called me yesterday to ask Gina's address to send Charli a card, Gina must have forgot to tell her about Charli's party Or she forgot. I got the answer I always get, "If Papa and I FEEL like it we Might come" My Mom is recovering from surgery and she will be there! I was thinking about how Jeremy forgot to ask my Dad to his wedding (they threw it together quickly) and thought how many things he didn't show up to, his Eagle Scout, birthdays, church events and thought 'no wonder he Forgot' In the end he realized how he had made Jeremy a stranger in his life and it was too late. I am glad he and Gina had a relationship!
But I will be happy to watch her eat her cake and walk across the floor to hug me! I Praise God I can share this day! I have tears as I think about missing Seth's Saturday. I have to stop that, I had to wear make-up so I can have My picture done for the church book today! I waited while my face healed from having a spot removed by Dr. Henderson 12/31.
Well off to church I am going to set up the room and let the kids solve a 'crime'. A scavenger hunt, I will let you know how it works out!

Blue's Clues


I really love my job! On I started this year off with a theme party on Fridays. Yesterday was Blue's Clues, we also had Teddy Bear day and a Block Party. We do fun things centering around the them, here they are writing in their handy Dandy Notebooks. Caleb was dressed like Steve and the girls and I wore blue. Ryan and Katie didn't come and I missed them! We also took Blue's for a walk and visited the "Grandma's and Grandpa's" which is what we call the seniors, and went to see the babies. I look at these kids and know where Charli will be next year, three of these turned 2 last month and I so enjoy listening to them talk and watching them play! Caleb was in a 'yappy' mood and had a wonderful time. When Gina was small she was late in talking but when she did she wouldn't stop so when she was talking faster than I could listen I would call her "Yappy".
If I ever do a cartoon style kid's book that will be my main character!
I saw the lady that kept Gina when she was an infant in Wal-Mart the other day. I had been hoping that I would so that I could show her Charli's picture, she has cancer and really looks bad, Lisa and Donna were with her and it was good to see them.
Well I am up because I needed a sinus pill and since I am going to be working on the church book today I thought I would get this done. I can breath now and my cough is stopped. I can her Les from here, her must have a stuffy nose, too, I think I will go roll him over and go back to bed for awhile!

I am so laughing as I post this picture! Zaroga got me thinking of family and my Papa and how he drank his coffee with Pet evaporated milk out of a saucer. He also put Pet milk in grits, that made them so creamy! That's my Dad with the Carolina shirt, you see he was a Die hard Clemson fan and I am a USC fan, I gave this shirt to him for Christmas and he gave me, my brother and my baby sister chicken bones and feathers! Needless to say Sissy switched to Clemson, she was only about 4! My Papa passed away the year after this, I think. My Uncle James was on a tractor, or bush hog and got into a hornet's nest several years ago and died there, I was never close to him. My Dad passed away Father's Dad 2006.
This is my Nanny, I wrote about her on the 4th, you can see the cloth scraps on the stool in front of her and my Aunt Doll and her dog Rusty. I got this picture from my Dad and it's a Polaroid and needs cleaned up.

Now what's up with this? Cashmere socks! I Love fun socks and Gina gave me this cashmere pair with some wonderful Shea Cashmere foot cream which smells so good! I Love these socks! they are so soft, I wish I could find another pair of shoes like my brown loafers! i got them about 5 years ago and they really show it! I do not like to buy shoes!!! I have very few for a woman and most of my tennis shoes are from Gina. She is like Mama and has a closet full. I remember counting Mama's once in the early 80's and I think it was 60 or so.

My birthday is coming up soon and I need a new watch so that's what Les is getting me but I also want a new Bible. That's a hard thing for me to choose!! I know I want a NKJ and a center column reference. Every one I find is at least $40 and the ones I really like are $60! I am getting to old to get much money for my BD, LOL! I hope I can get to the new Christian Book store in the mall in Greenville. They sell discounted Bibles there. I also can eat at Fuddrucker's my favorite!!

Charli Walks!




When I got to Gina's yesterday she was in a bit of a tizzy, while she was in the shower Charli sat in her walker and made a Big mess! It was running out her diaper and on the floor. Gina had put Charli in the tub and dressed her when I came in. I was talking to the baby who was standing there while her Mommy cleaned up and she decided to start walking! She was proud of herself, too, and seemed to know how excited we were! When Trey came in she walked to Daddy but a little slower than before. It was so funny!
Her party is Sunday. My Mom thought Gina should have in at a restaurant but I like the idea of having it at her house where I can get good pictures and she can make a mess with her cake! Twila it's at 2:00. I can't wait to see her cake. One of Gina's customers is making it. She is doing a Princess theme and has the most precious dress! Gina and Trey got her one of those portable DVD players and Horton Hears a Who and Yogabbagabba DVD's. She hopes that's what people will get her as gifts because she hates clutter. Les and I went to Build a Bear and got the pink monkey but that's my limit, No more stuffed animals for gifts. Not that's she's fanatical or anything she just doesn't want dust and allergy problems. She is pretty smart really. As you can see by the pictures her floors are nice and she keeps a clean house: she Sure didn't get That from Mom!!
Well I will post some new shots later but it's time to go!

Wednesday, January 14, 2009





OK, Zaroga, here are a few photos, I also put some down the side of my Blog and a special one of Charli at the bottom, the butterflies were taken at work and the bee at Park Seed.
In June we have a flower festival you might want to check out, Google Greenwood Festival of Flowers. On Saturday they give tours of the experimental gardens at Park Seed. You would Love it!

Charli was in a fabulous mood, I got some wonderful pictures to post later! We played hide and seek and she was just full of the giggles! We had a good nap after that, She sleeps on my chest after Yogabagaba goes off and I love holding her!

My friends from church came over last night, Les fixed Kevin's truck and we had Italian Soup. I found the recipe in Southern Living and it was so good. Les actually made it Monday night and let it sit in the frig overnight. We are talking about starting a bible Study together. Tim plans on going to Seminary so this would be good for him to lead. I so enjoy socializing more than I every thought I would. It's a good excuse to keep my house neater, LOL!

Charli not feeling well!

For the first time and 8 days from her first birthday my baby had to go to the Dr. She has a sinus infection and has 2 prescriptions. She had a low grade fever of 100 and a runny nose. How blessed that she has not been sick before this! I am looking forward to her birthday party Sunday!
I so enjoyed the photos on Zaroga's Blog! I do thing it's so great we both love photographing insects! I never knew there were so many wasps and bees out there!
It's such a relaxing hobby to me! We used to have a patch of mint and they were attracted to that. I could sit for hours and fill up my card and go dump it and start all over! I have hundreds of nice shots. I did delete more than I saved, though!

A Word Art Freebie for you!


Today I am sharing a little word art of my verse for the week
I hope you like it and you will also join me in learning a verse a week!
There are so many people out there with broken hearts and troubles, I don't know how they get along with out Faith!
We have a family in the town I just moved from that needs prayers. The father and his 4 year old were riding a go cart Christmas when another child, a 16 year old ran into them on her 4 wheeler. They were all taken to a NC burn unit because the one in Augusta is understaffed and couldn't handle it. The 4 year old is Very Severe and in a drug induced coma, here is the link to our paper it is an online news paper and keeps updating the story.
They are having several fund raisers so pray with me that this child and his family will be blessed and get the help they need. I feel for the young girl Trish. I am sure she has so much guilt!
My best friend Leighanne is having problems, too, her blood palettes keep dropping. She had to take some chemo treatment this week and is feeling so tired! I ask you will agree in prayer the Drs will find the cause and help her. She had a stomach virus and they believe this triggered it. They may have to remove her spleen.
Zaroga, I am also praying for you! I hope you and your family can get straight and have a blessed year!
I am blessed that although my cough is aggravating (I once broke a rib coughing) and it is hard to breathe when it gets cold I don't have any real pains. My hands look like it from the arthritis but as long as I can crochet and make pages I will do fine. I really want a laptop but am concerned if I can use one easily on not.
Well that's enough for today, I hope I have several comments to moderate later, I need to go offline and work on a calendar and the churchbook. I will start taking family pictures at church tomorrow for a directory.
God Bless us EVERYONE!

I thought since I was up already I would go ahead and post! I thought I would put a picture from our beach trip today, I was taking pictures of the birds and this one was hurt and he followed my up the beach and got pretty close. We were there in October.
Charli is getting over her stomach thing, Gina said maybe it was more than just teething because Trey was sick and even came home from work yesterday, he Had to be sick because that young man works, he even has a second job a couple of days a week, not because they need the money but, I think, to spend the time with his dad.
Big news in our neighborhood, a couple got arrested and charged with child and animal neglect, they called the law because a gun was stolen and the police saw they were living in filth too nasty to even think about! The girl is 26 and used to work with Les, she is married to a 41 yer old man and they have a 3 year old. Her mother was also bedridden in the house and had not been cleaned up and had dead roaches stuck to her. The women and child were taken by social services. The girl's brother lived there, too, and was charged with the mother's neglect. BTW they drive a Hummer! You never know what goes on with people do you?
Oh, Les's Dad is at the hospital doing a sleep study, Les took him and George wanted to be there about 7:45 or so, the appointment was at 9:00! I hope they can help him.

Thursday, January 8, 2009

I got a short note from Jeremy this morning, he JUST got his Christmas packages! I mailed one the 4th of December and one a few days later! That makes me sad he had Christmas with nothing from us! The picture frame I sent him broke, I hope it didn't mess anything up.. I wrapped it in bubble wrap and the sleep pants I sent him.
Mama's cancer wasn't invasive so they didn't have to take her lymph nodes so she will have a faster recover time. I am glad of that!
Well I posted every morning for a week! Not that I have that much to say but I am proud of myself!

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

My prayers are with my Mom today as she has her surgery! I am going to take my brother to the hospital to meet her at 7:00 then go to work. I am blessed my boss is letting me leave my cell on to receive a text from Sissy when she is out. I am sure she will be OK I will go after I watch Charli this afternoon. She is having a hard time with her top teeth, they are showing just not quite through the skin yet and she is not eating much and very clingy. Her tummy is messed up, too. She didn't even eat a whole yogurt for me yesterday and she usually eats them even if she's not hungry!
Well it's time to go, I picked my new bible verse, Romans 10:17 Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God.

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

I am actually enjoying posting in the mornings! I need to get up a few minutes earlier but I move a little slow, LOL! It seems to take so long fixing my meds, I tried putting them in a pill holder but several of them split from the humidity of Les's frequent showers! I need to take them in the bathroom as this is such a habit I know if I move them I won't always remember, after all it will soon be 20 years I have been taking Prednisone!
Well about the picture, it is my nephew Cody playing around in the castle we visited at the beach, I was going to use it for a challenge at SOTB but haven't posted yet. They were slow getting all the challenges up this month and I have been to busy to recheck. I love Dr. Seuss and I wanted to do this as WA. I like the way it turned out. I made the gray BG.
They moved Mama's surgery up to tomorrow, I am sad in a way because I keep Charli on Wednesdays, I am going to keep her though and go to the hospital as soon as Trey gets home unless something happens that I am needed. Then Gina will take her to Trey's Mama, I am very anxious to spend time with her right now because she will take a couple of steps and I am afraid of missing her take off walking. She had a runny nose and was whiney from her top teeth last night so I went over and kept her while the kids got groceries. She was so sweet and clingy! Of all the people in the world sometimes it seems she loves me best, I know I love her best!
Well I have to go! I hope I don't have too many mistakes this morning because I don't have time to check!

Monday, January 5, 2009

I thought I could take a breather with making all those books when I realized I had to do the Church Book! Homecoming is Feb. 1 and I do the book every year! We are getting together a Members Book too and next Sunday I will start taking family pictures of the members I hope I can get most of them so no one will be left out!
Bud said something last Wednesday that has been on my mind and I did my Children's Church on it yesterday. Someone told him they were an Average Christian and he said how that bothered him. He's so right! I read Hermie the Common Caterpillar by Max Lucado and told them how they shouldn't settle for "C"s in school and for being average as a Christian!
This year I will be above average as a follower and hope others will do the same. It's easy for me to go to church every Sunday and on Wednesday nights but I will spend more time this year learning the Bible and hope that too will be a part of who I am... an Above Average Christian.

Sunday, January 4, 2009




Today I dedicate this post to my Nanny, Evelyn Snowbird Maynard Cheek. She was born Jan. 4, 1917 and died when Gina was a young child. I really miss her, probably more than anyone I ever lost. She was a real Country Girl even though her parents moved here from England in 1902. Things I remember are her cornbread, her Chocolate cake with fudgey icing. How she let me use her scraps to make crafts, the quilts she made and her quilt rack hanging from the ceiling.
Her Laugh and how funny she was! Snuff (yuck!) And how she would take me to the Trash Dump where the mill tossed the things they threw away, she was a recycler! She had sheds with cloth she horded to make quilts. She had a cluttered house but I was comfortable there and spent so many nights with her and Papa.
But one of the biggest things I remember is this that country woman read her Bible, watched Oral Roberts and gave me my first Corrie Ten Boom book.
She also gave me one of my special treasures, a rhinestone set that my Daddy gave her when he was 15. I treasure it and hope that my precious Charli will one day. I got it when I was 15 and hope that I will be around to give it to her on her 15th birthday.
I am getting ready for church and need to help Les because we invited friends over for lunch.

Saturday, January 3, 2009

Kept Charli today while Gina worked and we had a really fun day! She called me Meme 3 times, this is a picture from Christmas morning, the kit is Cathy K's new one called Laugh and it is a Super kit! I have used it om several pages.
Julie sent me a video from her phone of Seth walking, it don't last but a few seconds and I can't even see what he looks like But it is the first thing I have had in months!
I was telling Les tonight that I didn't post many or even do much at my sites but I made about 250 pages in December. I did 6 Brag book calendars for kids at work, one for my MIL, one for Gina and 2 wedding books, all these were 4 x 6 but I did a couple of square pages, too, in 2008 I made well over 1000 total pages! I am trying to get the challenges started at 3S, I hope I have a good response.
Oh, Les and I used my GC from Ryan and ate at Crackerbarrel, I really enjoyed that. My back is itching from where Dr. Henderson froze those places on my back, I had 3 there, one on my face and one on my elbow I had removed Wednesday, that really hurt while he froze them but other than itching they are ok. I am glad to have them off!

Luke 24:45

I actually didn't take a single picture yesterday! We has the New Year's meal of Ham, blackeyed peas, collards and stewed tomatoes at the Gary's and Charli started taking 3 or 4 steps, I was too excited she would quit if I got me camera so I just watched her. I will keep her in the morning so maybe we can play and I can get her to do it more, January 1 is a perfect day to start walking, I think!

Well on with my resolution... here is my first scripture to learn found in Luke 24:45. Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures
I had another picked out but was lead to this one. I was talking to my Grandmother and we don't understand why our family members don't go to church! I so Love church and get so much from learning and teaching, I teach 12 and 13 year olds and have really learned so much this past year about Bible History.
I can't see putting earthly things before church and showing up just when you feel good! Teaching helps because I have to be there Plus since Gina sits with me I get to hold my baby and she is a good girl in church! Today I am praying that my family members will open their minds to the scriptures, I can't imagine being a parent now and Not raising them to look to Christ for guiance and not the sins of this world.... I am stepping down from my soapbox now to go to work.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last night we ended up going to Gina's and keeping Charli because Leighann went home from the hospital and needed to rest. Gina had let her stay up and she was in a mood to play, we watched Horton Hears a Who and it was amazing animation! Charli would nap then play, Trey and Gina got home about 11:30 so Les and I just went on to bed, we did hear a lot of firecrackers for several minutes and there were bottle rockets in our yard today but we could really see the fireworks. It was a nice night.
I used Rina's On Night Divine kit to make my baby an angel, the BG is from her Christmas Traditions kit and the flower is a freebie from Osten Wilkins, he has a Gorgeous winter DAD so you should join there! http://ostenwilkinsdesigns.com I like also that you reach levels of posts and you get more freebies! Oh, the lace beads, and other elements are from Pam Laflors and Irene Alexeeva, I love their blogs!
Well I finished my eggnog, baked a pie to take to my inlaws and will be getting ready to take my tree down when I get home from their house. I hope everyone is OK and has a great start to the year.
BTW I did make a resolution... to learn at least a scripture a week and to do more RAKs, Shannon , a friend of mine lost her babyTues. She had found out she was pregnant Christmas Eve, maybe I will start with her, I will think about what I can do!

New Year's Eve

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
I played with this picture of Charli and the Moose we made her for Christmas...
Les and I were going to spend New Year's Eve with Leighanne at the Hospital because she was put there Sunday but she got to go home today and wanted to rest, I am so glad her counts are better!
So we are going to church at 7:00 and going to sit with our baby while Gina and Trey go to a party, I can't think of anything better to do! Gotta' Run!

Christmas Day




These are pictures from last night, my Mom wouldn't get in our 5 generation picture so this is 4, the picture at top shows Charli with her Moose, Chris, Les and I made at Build a Bear, she liked it ok but it wasn't her favorite thing, Gina said she didn't want too many stuffed animals though, she said she didn't want the dust and clutter. She Hates clutter!
This morning Les and I got up to go see Charli's Santa Claus, we got there at 8:00 but she wasn't awake yet so we ate at the Huddle House, that was fun, I left our waitress a small tin with a few candy kisses and a Salvation Bracelet. I am thinking about doing my New year's Resolution about making at least 3 meaningful RAK's a week, I will not make something I can't keep!
Back to Charli's Santa... she loved her Yogabagaba guitar! Gina had found several toys at Target. I will upload pictures later. I am going to keep her tomorrow afternoon while the kids go to see Bedtime Stories.
Our friends just left, Shannon found out she's pregnant and we all went to see Gloria, her son Steve died Tuesday, she is our pianist at church. We had Fun, we watched a movie Mr. Mangoreum's Emporium or something like that and had an ornament swap. I made a wire and beaded ornament and les painted a great wood one. That was FUN!
I really didn't miss Christmas at his parent's so badly. We will go there Sunday.

Wednesday, December 24, 2008




We had Family Christmas for my side Sunday and here are a couple of pictures, I am off to Build a Bear to get her a special gift...

Friday, December 19, 2008

I have been so busy! The Christmas play was Wed. night and it was great! I had tears from laughing at the kids! Gina had to work late Tues and Wed. doing hair for Christmas so I was there and had to go back to Dr. about my ear and get More drops and have to go back Monday. I am up now because my hand is swollen, mostly my finger with my wedding rings so I had to soak it and take Advil.
ANYWAY this is Charli 'sneezing' LOL! She had been laughing when PopPop would act like he sneezed and now she is doing it and shaking her head No when we say no, Charli! It's amazing how we appreciate the little things with our GRAND kids!
Mama's cousin Dot passed away Tuesday. She had a lump removed instead of taking the whole breast and they didn't get it all and it spread rapidly. I am so sorry for Debbie and Cindy having this Christmas without her! Because I had my work party I didn't get to go to the funeral home and I will be at work during the service.
I still have to make the kid's books for work so I guess I will be working on that today! I hope I get a nap before time to get ready for work!
