BLACK AND WHITE

Zentangles... Black and White... maybe some color, a dash here and there...
that's what is in my sketch book right now. Several pages. I am really liking the contrast of black on white...

WAKE UP CALL

Spent last evening in the hospital with Ashlyn, as she was being monitored in L&D. Contractions all day. They sent her home for now. Could be any day, but hopefully she can hang on for a few more weeks. She's only 34 weeks. It was a wake up call for them! James is bringing in the recruits today, to finish painting the house.

New Year's Day 2012

***Spent the day at my daughter's, sorting baby clothes, assembling a crib, making lists... I don't think she has a clue about the baby stuff and all that is involved.
***Preparing for her baby shower in 2 weeks. Lots to do. Sewing all the bedding for the crib, baking and making lists. Lots of lists. I live with a list, if I don't write it down... I forget! Must be the aging thing! haha...

GOODBYE 2011

New Years Eve. December 31, 2011. The husband and I are pretty boring. No celebrations to get dressed up for. In our Jammie's, we sit home and watch a movie, occasionally flipping the channel to see who is performing at one of the live parties. Most of the time, I fall asleep and he has to wake me up to watch the ball drop. I get a "Happy New Year" in and a kiss, and it's Goodnight Irene!

This has been a busy and exciting year. The daughter was married, our Grand-daughter was born, the Navy family reunion and the pending birth of our second Grand-son! Lot's of love in this family.

My son leaves for Army basic training in February. It makes me sad that he will be away from the family, but I am also excited for him. He is pursuing a long time desire. He has the "guts" to step up and go forward. This is impressive to me, something I couldn't do. Call me chicken... lack of "kahunas!" I wish you well Michael. Push for the stars! I am so proud of you!!!

To all of you, my friends and my family... I wish you a healthy, happy year ahead.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012.
