Just a few pictures

This picture is from Aunt Lyn. I just received it in the mail today. Grammy loved this picture.
These pictures were taken at Myrtle Beach a few weeks before she passed away. Grammy and I were both sitting on Christy's lap. Grammy got the biggest kick out of this.

Grammy told me once upon a time....Heather when I die everytime you see lightening that is me taking pictures!! Well since gram passed I have seen more lightening then I ever have my whole life. I just look up and smile for the camera. Hi Gram I love you, i'd bring Athena over to the window and tell her to say hi to gigi ! I want her to get started on Athena's book too. So everytime anyone see's lightening smile for the camera and say hi. We all love and miss you

Poor Ethan had sunscreen in his eyes! :(

I love this blog!! We all have at least a thousand stories to tell, so let's keep this thing rolling. She'd love it!

I too am not good at writing, so here goes. When Chris and I first met back in 1996 Gram was down here. She took one look at him and told me that he would be the guy that I'd marry. We all know that Gram had a sixth sense about things. I can hear her now saying, "I knew it. I just had a feeling. I get these feelings, ya know." God I miss her. Anyway, we went out to this honky tonk bar down here called the Long Branch. She had had a few of her whatever Russians that she liked and was feeling pretty good. I remember walking in to the bar and looking at the moon. She was telling me that if you could hang a pail on the moon, it wouldn't rain the next day. Well, Chris said that he needed to pee. Of course at my young 17 year old age I was horrified when Gram asked him if he needed some help! We had all JUST met him! Two kids later and who cares now, right? She also fell on the dance floor dancing with him and just laughed it off. She also slept in the same room with him! She was such an amazing person and we all need to thank God for allowing her to be the head of our family. She is always with us. I dream about her talking to me at least once a week. I hate waking from those dreams because they seem so real. I love you, Gram and will tell more stories of you soon.

Love,

Christy

Bees

I'm not good at writing either but anyways back in 2005 in the summertime,Mom and I was going to move my well from the front yard to the side of the yard.So we went outside and tryed to move the well when bee's started coming out of the well.Mom and I ran into the house and we went to the window where we could see the bee's coming out of the well.I said, Mom how can we get those bee's out of the well? she said, maybe if we could take a hose to them but she than said, that I don't know how we can do it from here.We thought again, than I said I'll get the hose,so I got the hose and we hooked it up in the house here,Mom opened the window and we blasted the bee's and than all of a sudden here come's some bee's after us coming in the window. Mom shut the window so fast.We were laughing so hard. You should of seen Mom laughing, the way she bends over and putting her hand's over her mouth, I thought she was going to pee her pant's.I said if anyone would of seen us doing this from a window they would think were nut's.Anyway Mom opened the window up again and I blasted them all that time.
I love you Mom and miss you soooo much.I think of you all the time and I look at your picture everyday. Hug's and kisses to you Mama xoxo

HEY KATHY!! Does this look familiar????

Well, I’m not much of a writer, but here goes! I just wanted to tell a little amusing story about Mom and her daughters. One night we decided to go out to the famous Silver Fox Lounge in Raymond, NH. Not sure how it came about, but I’m thinking it was just a whim and we decided to go out and have a drink and leave the kids with the men! Well the entertainment at the bar had this guy with an instrument on every part of his body that could move!! He was stomping and clapping and whistling and singing and banging and just about getting on everybody’s nerves!! (Altho, he did have the hots for Kathy *wink wink*). But, we were having a good time nevertheless!! Mom had her usual Black Russian or White never can remember which and she was feeling no pain. Well, Mr. One Man Band decided to dedicate a song to Mom and her 4 daughters and he proceeded to play, “Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo”. And our loving mother in her slightly intoxicated yankee voice yelled…..”I HATE THAT SONG; I’VE ALWAYS HATED THAT SONG!!!” I sure do wish I could sit and have that Black Russian with her one more time and reminisce about our crazy family. R.I.P. Mom, I love and miss you so much! Laurie

One of my favs...

Grammy with Tyler

This is Grammy with my son, Tyler. This picture is very special to me because it is the ONLY picture that I have of her with Tyler. Once I left mom's house that week and said goodbye to Grammy I realized that it was the only picture I had with her and Ty. I had such a bad feeling because I knew that I would be leaving for Guam and wouldn't see her for 3 years...little did I know that I would never have the opportunity to get a picture of her and Tyler again. I see this picture and it just helps me see how quick life goes by. If we don't have our camera in our hand then we just might forget the moment. I'm grateful for this reminder to pick up that camera more. I have now become like Grammy and am never without a camera!
