Ballet's Afternoon ending

We're a bit fuzzy but we were playing with my phone's camera. Makenna's idea of course!
This was after an afternoon of ballet for Makenna and Alice Jules for April, her friends Laura , Donna, and me. Lovely time to sit on the veranda and sip Chilly Alices, etc!

A Night To Remember!

Last night we had the oldest four Grands while April and Lee went to a wedding rehearsal. Got them around 7:15 and decided to take them to the Grill for supper. Ended up inviting Anna, Dan and the four youngest Grands and they joined us. After pushing tables together the twelve of us sat down, well Mike and I stood getting everyone's orders. (that was a feat in itself!) The kids were great! They patiently waited even though it was about 7:35 and we were all hungry. Another family sat nearby watching all of us. They caught my attention and we talked for a few minutes and they commented on how well-behaved all the kids were!
They were quite impressed.     I was too! :)
We had the best conversations while we waited on the most delicious cheeseburgers in the world! (guess that could be a slight exaggeration)  Hey, love our Grands but as they are growing up they are so much more fun to be with! Christian downloaded "Angry birds" for me on my Droid Incredible.
He looked at me and said, "Granggie, it's such an honor to just hold your phone." Only a twelve and a half year old guy would think that! Priceless! Then as each one finished, my phone circulated, each one played the game...well, not the almost three year old even though he would have loved to have my phone! They were so cute and shared so well.
When we finally left the Grill, we decided to walk around the Waxhaw downtown area and cross over the historic railroad bridge. The kids had always wanted to do that and we did. (Love making those memories!) The bridge is much higher than it appears and to them it was an adventure!
The entire area is a historical one and the buildings quite unique. It's just fun to walk around but a bit magical at night!
After our walk we parted ways and the oldest came back with us; Makenna to sew doll clothes for her cousins' American Girl dolls that they will get for Christmas and the rest of us to a movie and more "Angry birds" and much more enjoyable conversations!
Grandchildren rock! OMG, they are the coolest! I can't remember when I've had such a wonderful night!

There is no place like home......

Another signing!

Here we are, Amy, April's friend, me and April with Nicholas Sparks. Another fun time, meeting new friends and seeing some "old" ones!
He spoke to all of us before the signing began and you could see what a down-to-earth guy he really is!

Back On

My computer is now up and running!
Yippee!

Computer update!

Well... the technician came this afternoon but he had been shipped the wrong parts. Actually one part was correct but the other was not and he decided to order yet another part in case he needs it when he comes back.
Hopefully my computer will be up and running by the weekend!


And another Fall update:
Saw the most gorgeous scarlet and orangey-rust colored trees! They 'bout took my breath away. I became so overwhelmed at our amazing Father God Creator! Oh my! Really no words to describe that beauty and no words that truly describe our God!

Still waiting

Am awaiting that phone call about my computer!
Surely someone will come this week! Surely!
I'm not going to be too happy with Dell if they don't at least call by tomorrow.
I'm glad I can use Mike's computer but I am use to mine and not his.

On another note, I am enjoying this cloudy Monday! The Fall trees look so beautiful against the grayish sky!
What a treat!
