I am closer to retirement, 7 months and 4 days to be precise! I can't wait to enter this new phase of my life and hope to be blogging more often about the world of the non-working.<br />
The grandkids are growing up way too fast. Christopher is 13, Olivia is 11 and Sawyer will be 6 on Halloween. He was the kindergarten escort in homecoming in their small town this year. It was an all day affair and I went to all of it. I had to miss going to an annual convention, but I wouldn't have missed this for the world!<br />

Sop my first plans for retirement include re-do on the bathroom, maybe the kitchen floor and countertops, and cleaning out the junkrooms. Maybe then my children will quit calling me a hoarder! pics will follow....if I am brave enough!</div>

He was 82 years old, but in my mind he will always be that clean cut, all-American young man who did something that was completely unbelievable, and then lived out his life in anonynmity.
I will never forget that wonderous day July 20th, 1969 when we all sat and watched a very brave man who exhibited vision and bravery, step out of the safety of a capsule, and walk on the moon. His words will never be forgotten. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Who among us to witness that moment can ever forget it?
<br />
<br />
<div>
It was his destiny. We all have our destiny-some are destined for greatness, some for quiet lives . His was one of a kind. And then he went home and lived a quiet life of quality and giving to others. In spite of the reports he had trouble handling the after effects, who among us wouldn't have some adjustments to that? Buzz Aldrin did the fame circuit, Neil Armstrong went on with his life, being an engineer, a educator and a farmer. A remarkable man in what some would call an unremarkable life. Maybe we should call him a true American. This surely, is what we are made of. This is a true American, not the rappers and the actors and the politicians....but the builders of dreams, the purveyors of vision, the demonstrators of bravery. Dreams are not built on money, dreams are built on accomplishments, achievements, hard work and effort.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So RIP Mr. Armstrong, you lived the good life, and left us with the dreams and the vision, and the wonderful memories, and a great quote.</div>
<div>
So long, The Eagle has landed...</div>

Sunday we went downtown and spent the morning, had lunch, then drove around and came home. I took a lot of pictures with my new camera and got some nice shots of dogwood and redbud blooming.<br />

</script>Wow, its been a busy few months, and time has flown! Halloween brought us a new addition - my new grandson Sawyer Reagan. He came 5 weeks early and stayed in the NICU for 3 weeks, but he is doing great and enjoyed his first Christmas.<br />

</script>This week I have been spending with the grandchildren. Their mother, my oldest daughter, went back to school, not studying, but teaching, andhas no one to keep the kids now that they are school age.<br />
On Monday, we went out to the Inn at the Mill and looked around and took some pictures. It's a beautiful place, although no longer "in the country" as growth and progress knocks on its door. Christopher wanted to look at the old wheel and the grindstones, which are all still in place. <br />
<br />
We took a few pictures. Then a couple of days later, it rained, thank goodness, and the heat wave has abated.<br />

</script>I attended a wedding on Sunday last. It was a wonderful wedding of friends and I wish them much happiness because they just deserve it!<br />
<br />
My gift was a gift card so I did a fancy wrapping...I had no idea what her colors were, so I used pink because I have a lot of pink....I just like pink...<br />
I made crepe paper flowers and a custom handmade tag for this. I wrapped the envelope in a layer of pink lace, gauzy ribbon and crepe paper, then attached three flowers with double stick tape so they could be removed easily...here is the result...<br />
<br />

document.write(unescape("%3Cstyle%20type%3D%22text/css%22%3E%0Abody%20%7B
</script>Yesterday I made my first ever batch of fresh pesto using the basil I am growing in my garden. It is so hot that most of my garden is just burning up in spite of it getting late afternoon shade and my watering efforts. <br />
I planted 2 basil plants which are doing pretty well, and I am keeping the blossoms pinched off of them. I went out and harvested 2 big handfuls and made Pesto, which I didn't take any pictures of. This is a stock photo of basil...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I first put 4 cloves of garlic and a handful of walnuts in the food processor and ground them up. ( used walnuts because they are about $2 a pound and pine nuts are $30 a pound!)<br />
Then I added the 2 handfuls of basil with a small sprig of fresh oregano I also grew in my garden. Then I threw in 2 big handfuls of fresh spinach and processed it until it made a paste. Then I added about 1/3 cup of parmesan, and with the processor running, I streamed in olive oil until it became the consistency I wanted, not too thick, not too runny. I also added some sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. <br />
<br />
I tossed this with some hot angel hair pasta, and garnished it with chopped fresh tomato and some more parm.<br />
<br />
It was yum! The spinach kept it from getting so strong, and the walnuts added a nutty taste. All that planting and watering was worth it! If I had to buy the basil, the cost would be just too much.<br />
<br />
Hope you are keeping cool today! <br />

</script>I found this idea over at one of the blogs, but since my computer was re-vamped, I have lost the link. She first made these for a tablescape in February and then re-did it for July. She used illusion for the "whipped cream" but I decided to try a white crepe paper flower, smooshed down. I also substituted the truffle she used for the cherry with a red cinnamon candy my husband had in his office. I'll keep looking for this lovely blog, and maybe she will see it and let me know! <br />
UPDATE!!! I found it at Between naps on the Porch.<br />
Check out this great blog at:<br />

<br />
My sorority group has its annual weenie roast tonight and the gift theme is 4th of July so I had to do this for my gift to share. It's supposed to be a $5 limit, but I kind of exceeded that! I hope whoever gets this likes it!<br />

The lovely grandchildren came to spend the night Friday night. We picked them up at home, and dead skunk count was an all time high of 10!<br />
Then while Pawpaw, aka Alex, fixed a gourmet dinner of chicken nuggets and Kraft mac n cheese, I took them to the neighborhood D-G to pick out a new toy. Christopher of course got a transformer, then later informed me that there were two more there that he could use, I guess if I found myself in the D-G with nothing to buy, and Olivia got a dinosaur. Then we went home for dinner, playing, a movie on the DVD and bed. Christopher went off to sleep, but Olivia stayed up through Blues Clues and Bambi. I think she would stay up all night if we let her.<br />
<br />
At 5 am the next morning, Christoper wakes me up.<br />
Gammie, is it time to get up?<br />
No, go back to sleep.<br />
Gammie, do you have bedbugs?<br />
No, go back to sleep. (where does he get this stuff?)<br />
Gammie, is it light outside?<br />
No, go back to sleep.<br />
Then the cursed alarm goes off at 6:30.<br />
Christopher pops up.<br />
Is it time to get up?<br />
<br />
So we got up<br />
<br />
Later on, after Alex got up, we took them to the IHOP for breakfast. That went amazingly well, I guess they are growing up! Olivia had little pancakes, eggs and bacon. Christopher had grilled cheese and fries. And half of Olivia's bacon. Then I had to give her one of mine. Then he wanted more bacon and I had to give him half of mine. I ended up with a half piece out of two! Oh well, less calories!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then we went home, they played outside. Overheard Christopher saying to Olivia: Well that's just stupid!. Not sure what that was about. Then Susan showed up and I took them home to get out of her way. They slept all the way home.<br />
<br />
Then I went to flea market on the way home. Alex avoided this by staying home and working on his schoolwork. He avoids flea markets at all costs.<br />
<br />
Sunday night, what a night. About 10:15 pm it started to storm, lots of lightening, much thunder, much rain, much wind. And in the middle of it, an earthquake. I didn't feel it, but a friend who lives a few blocks away did. As did almost everyone I know. How did we miss that?<br />
<br />
And then Pioneer Woman put Chicken Fried Steak on her blog today and thats all I can think about.<br />
<br />
So we are off on another work week. <br />
6 years, 6 months, 3 days from retirement.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

And it's Valentines Day. Last year my new hubby bought a Moleskin journal and wrote me a sweet entry in it. The thought was that we would write in it on special days, or whatever days and leave it for each other. <br />
I forgot.<br />
For a whole year.<br />
I forgot.<br />
I apologize.<br />
This morning I wrote in it and left it on his pillow. And I didn't make up the bed. So...if he decided to make up the bed (he is retired), then he will find it.<br />
He drove me to work today. When I got out of the car, I told him to have a plan by 5 when he picks me up. <br />
<br />
We will see.<br />
<br />
Last year my daughter and I made a bunch of Valentine Tags (see my tab called tags) This year, I didnt make one stinkin' tag. You would think locked up in the house for 8 of the last 14 days, I would do that. Nope, I read 4 books and watched a LOT of tv. Then I decided that it's true...there really IS nothing on tv in the daytime!<br />
<br />
So back to the grind, and Happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweetheart!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

3. I have come to dislike snow very much in the last few years.<br />
4. I have aspirations to become a Parrot Head.<br />
5. I read anything I get my hands on, even cookbooks.<br />
6. I can ride a horse.<br />
7. I have unreasonable fears of rodents,heights, escalators, needles, walking and being in a car on snow and ice (see #3) and interstates.<br />
<br />

There, I said it. I don't know why I didn't...I just never got around to it. I did make individual handmade tags for everyone on one gift...that took an incredible amount of time and made an incredible mess! I'll start that about July next year!<br />
<br />
I did hang my Santa Face. One of my daughters thinks this is a little creepy. The other one thinks its not Christmas if he is not hanging up somewhere. He is a plaster Santa face that a little old lady who lived next door to us when I was in jr. high gave to me. I just liked him and she liked that. I have had him ever since, and that was 46 years ago.<br />
Here he is in his place...<br />

I didn't put up a tree either. How bad is that? I just decorated this little tree that sits in the corner of my dining area all the time. I decorate it for Christmas, Easter, July 4th and Halloween/Fall.it actually has lights on it so its cute when they are lit...but this was it for the tree...<br />

Happy Thanksgiving to all. The day after Thanksgiving, Alex's grandson Nathan graduates from boot camp over at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Congratulations to him!<br />
<br />

If you are traveling this weekend, be careful and safe, and take a moment to count your blessings, number one being an American!<br />

Sunday we took a drive and the trees were just not in sync! We have been having cool nights and warm, sunny days, which are supposed to be ideal for the trees.<br />
<br />
So I took some pictures of the maple trees in my front yard which are doing pretty good this year with the colors. Hope you enjoy them!<br />

Its one of the most hotly contesed mid-terms I have ever seen!<br />
<br />
Franklin Roosevelt said that in America, the only person who can deny you the right to vote is you yourself - by not voting. I think it was FDR...might have been Calvin Coolidge. What DID Calvin Coolidge say???<br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
And I'm talking the real vote - for those who make our laws at the polling place...not for Dancing With The Stars!<br />
<br />
And they will give you a really neat sticker to wear too!<br />
<br />
Go Vote!<br />

This was a busy week, and hopefully I can kick back this weekend. <br />
The Andy Griffith 50th Anniversary party was fun, not as crowded as I would have liked, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. We had fun, the kids played outside, most of the food was eaten and thats what counts, friends and family.<br />
<br />
Here is our own Potato Queen. I think her prince won the whistlin' contest since he was the only one who actually whistled. His prize was a harmonica so he can learn to play "Juanita" for us. He didn't take it with him, I don't know why!<br />

Razorback Red is our favorite color. Red Cars. Red Shirts. Red Purses!!! RED SHOES!!! It just goes on and on.<br />

</div>The best thing is going to Razorback Stadium on a warm sunny fall afternoon and watching the fun. The cheerleaders, the band, the majorettes, the big trailer that carries Tusk out to watch the game. We have gone through several versions of Big Red, and now it's Tusk III. <br />
Here's that bad boy! Waiting for the fun to start.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh and they also manage to put on a football game! Who am I kidding? It doesn't have to be warm and sunny, we will go in the rain, the cold...I draw the line at sleet, snow and lightening though.

I found this blog today by linking up with Southern Dreamer's Outdoor Wednesday. This is hilarious, and makes me glad I grew up a few short years later, but I recognize this theory, brother do I?<br />

October 3rd is the 50th Anniversary of the first airing of The Andy Griffith Show. We are celebrating at our house with a watch party because TV Land is having a marathon. Actually they have been airing several episodes a day for some time now, a 50 day countdown to the 50th anniversary, so I am enjoying that for sure! So we are having some friends over and some good (I hope) food and watch the greatest show on TV!<br />
