I even snuggled and played with my newest great grandson, Layne. He is 6 months old already. Just about all the new was sniffed off by the time I held him. You grandmothers know what I mean. :):)
Truly, I am blessed with a wonderful loving family and basic good health. I never take either for granted. My job is staying healthy and believe me it's full time job at my age. Heck no, I am not telling you how many years that is. I told my neighbor, cause he flat out asked...and as I was saying it , it sounded impossible to be saying it out loud. LOL But I will tell you what he said. He said OMG, I am 10 years younger than you and you work harder than anyone around here. That work keeps me going. At least that is what I keep telling myself when I ache all over.
Hope all of you had a great holiday and I am praying we all have a good year. XO
How wonderful to see you blogging again! Love you, Susie Q! You do have such a beautiful family and I am glad you were able to spend precious time with them!
ReplyDeleteGood for you getting good checkups! I think we are of the same mind.....use it or lose it! Staying busy is a good thing!
Linda, Mommy used to say ,"you better move while you can , or you will stiffen up and not be able to move." My mother was like a country philosopher. Miss that brave lady. You and LD stay young by always working. It is sad when I see someone way younger already broke down. Keep moving my friend. Love you and your family, Blessings, xoxo, Susie

Thank you Wanda, I think of you and Don and pray all is well. I went to senior bingo today. It's just citizens of a certain age having fun together. Played bingo , had coffee and a donut. The prize can vary from household cleaning products to gift cards, anything really. Today I won a prayer book and dish soap. :) I am trying to keep a positive attitude. I miss my sweet Ted. Hold your honey tight. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteIt is always a sweet feeling to see an alert from Shejunks... Love the post and family things. I know it must be nice to do face time. We have never learned but I can look back and think of times it would have been WONDERFUIL! We know you had a ball. Also I have no doubt you can still go strong. Love from the rainy season and a cool Florida...
ReplyDeleteHi Jack and Sherry, Pray you are both doing well. It sure has been a rainy season down there in Florida. Saw some crazy news od storms. I went to grocery for a few items with the threat of rain, snow, and wind mixture headed here. I am already over winter. LOL Counting the days till Spring. When it gets chilly there, just hold each other tighter. I have been enjoying your pictures. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, how nice to see a post from you! Happy New Year! Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas and I'm so glad you got to see your family! Glad to hear about the good medical reports, too! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteHi honey, Good to hear from you. Yes, I pray our new year is calmer and full of kindnesses. Take care. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt sounds like a lovely holiday. And what could be better than time with family. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie, I honey, I absolutely love family time. You know you can not look too long at the little guys, they are growing right before your eyes. That's why I squeeze them so much when I get the chance. :) Take care, blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHappy New Year to You! Sounds like you had a great end of 2023 ! Glad all your reports were good. Keep on going and enjoy the new Year !
ReplyDeleteThank you. I pray we all have a great new year and good health is so important. I keep masks in my pockets for going in stores . I just feel I do not want to risk what people may have while they are coughing. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deleteit sounds to me like a wonderful holiday!! i thought you celebrated all those good reports with a "hot dog"!!! hehehehe the pictures are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I usually have two hot dogs a year. I use to get one when my daughter had her 5th grade class come to her house for the end of the year picnic and I get one for 4th of July. When I think of all the hot dogs I fed my girl....so sad. Hope you guys are safe there, saw all the wet and windy forecasts. We are in for an arctic blast of cold...gee I am cold all the time. Blessings to you and your family, xoxo, Susie
Deletei just wanted to say hi!! i hope your staying warm and enjoying these winter months. thanks for stopping by and letting me know you have visited!! try and have a great weekend!!
DeleteIt’s really good to read this blogpost, Susie! It sounds like you had some wonderful family times! Wishing you all good things for 2024! - xoxo
ReplyDeleteSweet Nellie, I some times wonder if you are still cooking like I use to read about on your blog. I sure don't even want to cook. I told my daughter I might just start eating stuff right out of a can. LOL Nellie, I do pray we can have a wonderful New Year...I think we need some good times. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLOL Susie- you keep going! Its wonderful that you got to do so many Christmases and you got to see and hug almost everyone. With no cooking, might I add. Baby smells are the best smells.
ReplyDeleteTete, It is amazing I did not cook. On Christmas day daughter Karen brought the food and left enough for me to eat for a week. She is a great cook and so loves to feed people. The new baby is her first grand. Yes, baby smells isn't all dirty diapers. LOL Stay warm my friend. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo glad to hear that you got a good report from your doctor and your dentist. I'm a firm believer in getting out and working around the place and doing everything I possibly can to keep everything up. I think hard work is good for us, better to have those muscles sore after a day of work than to have them quit working because you don't use them.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a healthy year!
Connie :)
Connie, Thank you so much. Yes, my mom used to say if you don't move when you can, you stiffen up and not be able to move. I laugh when I look around my neighborhood and never see the children(teens) helping mow, weed whack, or rake. My called teens free labor, Haha, and she kept us busy. Taught us responsibility and work ethics. My daughters had chores also. Stay healthy and strong my friend, Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm so happy you had a good Christmas! Aww, snuggling with a baby must have been a highlight.
ReplyDeleteMy grandson (8) couldn't believe how old I am...oh how they do love to tease me about getting old though! Good for you for staying so active!
Always so good to hear from you, Susie!
I just sent my little brother a card for his birthday and wrote in it...slow down you are catching up to us older siblings. When he calls me old lady, I ask, "Was I cussing?" cause that was what our mom did as she got older.
DeleteYes Doris, I plan on snuggling that sweet baby boy again soon. LOL Blessings, xoxo, Susie
It sounds like you had great family time during Christmas with almost everyone. Staying busy is good for us:) Enjoy your day dear friend, great to hear what you have been up to!
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa, Good to hear from my blog family. I have missed checking on everyone. It was a good holiday season for me. This month has been bdays that we can seem to be able to gather and celebrate. So my twins and I want to move our birthdays to a warmer month. LOL Stay warm and healthy. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy goodness, I think it's been a few years since I visited your blog. My bad!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the age but I'm going to admit to 80 years YOUNG...thankful I am still putting along. It looks like you had a delightful holiday time with family. There certainly is nothing like it.
Hope to make it back around to your blog again.
Sue
