The Rain Held Off....

 Here's Mrs. H and her fifth grade class walking to her house for the class picnic. Now that was a walk for these kids. But no lack of energy here.

 Here they are in the garage getting ready for some music and zumba:)

 Some are playing dodge ball. Some drew big chalk drawings on the driveway and sidewalks. Some got their nails done. Some got their hair french braided.Some rollerskated, some skateboarded.

Twenty-four children and their teacher, Mrs.H. All got fed and had a fun time. I was flat wore out.:):) Angie said after they all walked back to school, some whined they were tired. But I bet they all slept well last night. I know I did.  Do you find it funny how kids can play like crazy for hours on end...then the minute they have to walk...woe is me, I am wore out. LOL I truly enjoyed the day with all of these beautiful children. It didn't rain till after school was out. So thankful for that. xo

Picnic Day....

This is my daughter's house in the fall. They were just moving in. Today is her 5th grade's class picnic. Mrs. H (Angie) walks the class to her house. They play ball, run, skateboard, dance, and sing. I help them get fed. I do some of the girl's nails and hair. Some times I will give boys a manicure.  They have looked forward to this day all year. Well I better go. I make sure the food's out . Combs are clean, plenty of polish. I'll try to get some photos. Enjoy your day. xoxo

Flower Shop.....

 This is near the parking lot of one of our flower shops in town. I love just going by and seeing what they put out to decorate with..hanging plants, birdhouses.

This flower shop is in an old house . it has two stories of flowers, crafts, and seasonal decorations. These hanging baskets were out for mother's day. I think they are so pretty. I should have bought a couple, as I have not bought any ferns. I usually hang ferns. Hope all of you are getting ready for a nice weekend. Bummer, we are suppose to have rain for the next 6 days. Race time in Indianapolis, so I guess that's about right..rain, rain, and more rain. :):)

Goodyear Blimp....

 Saturday, as I sat on the porch , writing to my sister....I kept hearing a plane. Then I thought, geech , that plane sure is slow. So I walked out and looked up. That's when I saw the blimp just over the field at the corner. Ran in , got my camera. So of course I get the whole shadow side:(:( I was in awe of how the wind was buffering this thing around.

I took a few more shots. Doesn't the bottom photo look like all those UFO shots people show in magazines?? LOL Sorry, I was so excited to watch it , that I wasn't really using my zoom.
  I had a great mother's day. Hope all of you did as well. I have been in limbo, worrying about two of my daughter's  lately. One lost her job, and one was diagnosed with diabetes.
   Karen, has met with a dietician and endocrinologist. She's going to be the brave tough girl, that I know her to be, and get control of her health.
Parents you can't try to be tactful and drop hints...just tell your children . I have warn my girls about diabetes since they were small.
  Kathy got a job, just a month from losing the job she didn't like . I will say she was on line everyday looking.  She has had numerous interviews. She landed a job, just 10 minutes from her house. I feel so much better today.  xo

Happy Mother's Day...

Happy mother's day to all of you. I hope that you can be with your mom today. Or call her. I will be loving my mom in my memory. My daughters will call me today. xoxo

Walking In Town...

 Look at this raised flowerbed. It is overflowing with creeping phlox. The man that lives here is a bit quirky:):) One year he had a plastic duck surrounded by plastic corn on the cob, in the barrel. LOL

 I loved this wisteria on this old fence. It is the second biggest wisteria I have seen in this town. I planted one at the old house. ...I should go by and see if it is still growing.

I got close enough to smell it. Wow, lightly sweet, not as heavy as lilacs. No bees at this time. The first time I saw wisteria, it was covered with bees.
  Hope all of you have a beautiful weekend. xoxo,Susie

Jeanne Cooper ....

I feel sad today. Jeanne Cooper passed away yesterday. She played Katherine Chancellor on the soap opera , "Young and Restless." I just loved that lady. She came on that show six months after it's debut. She had 11 Emmy nominations and won "best actress in a drama series", in 2008. What a great lady. I will miss her so much.
  Once thing about Mrs. Chancellor...she wore all the big rings. We used to call our mother Mrs. C , because she loved rings also. I remember watching the show with my Mom. I can also remember watching it from the first episode.
  I was hoping the show would have had a tribute to Jeanne today. They surely will soon.
  It's going to rain here later and can get severe. I'll be doing inside chores. Hope all of you are safe. xoxo
