"Home"

My Sweet Grandson, Parker....




















" The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together". ~Erma Bombeck

I just got back from staying with Brooke, grandson Parker and Bobby, my Son in law.. They live in Rocklin, Ca.. I love seeing them and hanging out with them. I enjoy playing with Parker, he is getting so big. He is almost 2.. Can't believe it.. He is so smart. I really feel good about where they live and they seem really happy. I also picked up the beautiful painting Brooke painted for her Dad. It really is so beautiful in person.. If you want, check out her blog, on my side bar.. "Dream to Create".. She is a talented artist. She has a lot of paintings to complete for her Family.. We are her best "Supporters". I really Love my Family!

I love your home, your sweetie showed me around while you were gone !! As I was haunting the McKinneys and decided to just drop in!! We love what we call "poppers" people who will just drop in to visit cuz they like us !! (well we assume they do?? haha) Of course not everyone likes poppers, so if you don't let me know !! haha
