Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!! I can't believe I have been in my house over a year already. Which also means I have been unemployed (retired) just as long. I really thought I would be bored out of my mind but that has not been an issue at all. I start my day off the same everyday, rising way to early and skyping (video chat) with Barbara, sometimes starting as early as 4am. Why are we both up at the same time?? We have done all of our Christmas projects together over the computer. We both have to carry our computers to the basement (craft area) so we don't wake anyone up with the laughter and our BIG mouths. Hard to believe, I know. We did get tons of things done during these early hours. We even baked cookies together. After several hours of that, I go to the gym for various different classes, where the instructor kicks my a**. I drag myself home and whine about it. After the shower the day belongs to me.........................

I have been knitting and crocheting like a crazy person. Little Harrison has 4 pair of new booties and a couple hats. I knitted Jackson a wrist band with a beaded skull on it, which Jeff thinks is toooo girly. Next up is an American Girl Doll Sweater. Lucy loves her AG dolls.

I babysit Harrison on Wednesdays while Summer works for a couple of hours. She just started back to work last week. I will try to remember to take some pics of this very happy baby and post them.

Kyle and Kelly bought me a Macbook for Christmas and I have taken 2 workshops to try to find my way around. The classes are held at the Apple store in Lancaster, which is about 40 minutes away. I don't mind the drive and the mall is beautiful. You all know I just love these workshops and will

be teaching them soon. lol

I would love to hear from you with what you have been up to.

ps: My dad and KitKat are doing great.

My Poor Cat

Well, I told you I would be adding a video. I am trying to learn how to use this editing program but it is really hard and the longer I go between edits I have to start all over. Anyway......................Here it is:

1st look at my Halloween Cat

here is KitKat's new crocheted sweater. He is not happy about it but he sure does look adorable! I trapped him in the powder room so he wouldn't run away from me. That plate on the floor holds his water dish . I will be posting the video I took of him later.

our first adventure

I have a new granny grandson!!

Well, lets see.......I wrote this entire story once already, last week and when I added pics I lost the text. So here is my second attempt.
Summer and Jeff had their baby boy on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 824 am. She was due the end of Oct but was scheduled for a c-section on Oct 12th. Her babies just can't stay put for the entire 40 weeks. Her gestation period for this baby was 35 weeks 2 days. Harrison Michael Farmen weighed in at 5lbs 2oz and was 17 inches long. Teeny. He is very sweet. Summers water broke and she called us at 445am. Believe it or not, I was still asleep. She still had a c-section and came home from the hospital on Sunday afternoon. They are both doing great. I drove them to the doctor today for a check up. Harrison is gaining and doing great. Thursday, Lucy has her doctors appointment and Harrison has a biliruben recheck. Summer can't drive for about 1-2 weeks so it looks like I will have more tales to tell........................lol

My Key West Backyard

This is our backyard in Key West. Pretty nice huh? Who needs a pool? Now, what you can't see is all the white trash that lives around us. It is coming along though. This was the first day in the water, 3 hours. Charlie, the iguana, was relaxing behind us on land. I kept swimming over and making him nervous.
The second day I swam alone. Taylor had just gotten her tree tattoo finished so she couldn't get it wet. I just swam around while several iguanas dove in and swam from one side of the canal to the other. It was a perfect day.
I am home now and it is suppose to rain with a high of 70. It was fun while it lasted.
