A new Simple Pleasure !

We have a new restaurant "Red Robin" so after my Dr. Appointment yesterday I told Him That I wanted to try it and of course he agreed !  We liked it a lot but I am not used to paying 14.00 for a cheeseburger, usually 3.29 at " steak n shake" , our favorite date place! So I ordered the wedge salad and ate a small portion of his cheeseburger with my fresh coffee they brewed for me. It was all very good and we were both stuffed for $21.00 so we will be back, loved the atmosphere too! So glad we are still able to find new places and things we enjoy! Love life's simple pleasures!

Some simple pleasures of Fall , 64 degrees this morning !

 It's beginnings  to feel like fall and I am so ready ! I enjoy the beach more when it is not so hot! The sun rises and sunsets are beautiful and of course a trip to the mountains!

"Old Country Roses"

I love cookie jars and have one for most seasons as well as my grandmothers old Dutch cookie jar but this weekend I found my new favorite "old country roses" it will be perfect with my old country rose tea set but for now it proudly sits on my dinning room table!

Summer's end ! ! !

The 2 oldest Grands with their mother (my daughter)

 The 2 younger ones with me!

Tomorrow school starts back here. I will be driving to my oldest Grandchildrens home early each morning making breakfast for them and driving my granddaughter to school. Grandson will be a senior this year and driving, but I will be there to see him off. It seems like only yesterday that I was taking him to preschool. These years have gone by so quickly. They have been the best years of my life! There is absolutely nothing as wonderful as being a Grandmother! I have 4 of them and each one is special in their own way. I feel so blessed that I have had them be such a big part of my life !

33rd Wedding Anniversary !

Today we celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary! It has been a wonderful journey. Lots of good times and some sad times but through it all I am so glad to have had my husband by my side!

Look what followed us home !

I am now the proud owner of a 1960 Glasspar Tacoma. I have been wanting more of a cruising type boat instead of the fast boat we have. Since my husband put a 100 hp motor on it it goes too fast for my liking (55 mph) so he found this one with a 40 hp Johnson motor and it is red ( my favorite color for a boat) I am excited to be taking this to our next classic boat club meet in September, it is definitely more my speed!

Very frightening !

What a day yesterday was ! I woke up feeling well about 8:00 , had coffee checked out Facebook, emails started feeling a little shaky so checked glucose it was good, so thought I needed to eat something, so had a slice of wholewheat toast took my meds, had a shower and was blow drying my hair and started having severe chest pain. I called my Dr. They said call 911 so I did. When the paramedics arrived pain was better but they thought I needed it checked out at hospital. I wanted to go in car but they said I was having 4 out of 5 symptoms for a heart attack so I went in the ambulance. It turned out to be esophageal spasm . I am fine now and very thankful it was not more serious!

Summer iis almost gone !

The month of July sure did fly by! It is now August my birthday and anniversary month! In a little over 2 weeks school will start here and summer will be over. It has been a good summer with lots of fun with family and friends! The past weekend was spent with my granddaughter shopping for new school clothes and having lunch in the mall! I do enjoy the time we spend together. I am also looking forward to fall and all of the fun activities, color and cool weather, It is my favorite season!
