Flashback

I scanned this pic in for my mom to send to one her her old High School friends. It's the early 70's can you tell?

Andrew and Papa

Andrew and Papa watching TV last night, "Cars" Andrew got to spend the night. When it was around 10:30 pm (he had a long nap Sunday afternoon) I told Andrew it was time to go to bed. He said "I'm not going to bed, I'm spending the night" lol. This morning he got to go to Home Depot with Papa. (notice Whisters, the black cat, that's where she always stays, right by Blaine's side and she sleeps next to him too. I noticed Sammie getting in on the action too.

Valentine's Day

Yesterday James and Andrew came over and came upstairs so excited to give me a valentine card, James excitedly said look Nana it's DJ Lance just for you, then Andrew said when he handed me his card, Nana I looked so long for this card just for you. They gave me hugs and kisses! I love them. Blaine got me the cutest build a bear and her name is Avalon, (My Catalina). Also a box of yummy See's candy with no nuts, I've eaten half the box already!

Oh Where Oh Where is Andrew?

Every time Andrew comes over he always disappears and where do we find him? In his favorite room, Grannie's room. It's not just the M&M's and pictures on the computer screen, seeing Cissy, or his favorite mini vacuum, he loves to climb up in Grannie's bed and sit next to her. It took him soo long to be able to get up on that big tall bed all by himslef.

A real Vacation Day

So you know all those vac days I need to take, use it or lose it, well those random vac days usually consist of cleaning my house and running errands etc. Not this time. I left early this morning and went down to Huntington Beach to swap cars with Quinn, I have his he had mine. Well he took me downtown in Huntington Beach. What a beautiful little city, we parked in the parking structure then walked to BJ's for lunch then walked out on the pier, yes I got to see the ocean. It is a beautiful beach with white sand stretching in both directions for miles. At the end of the pier we could see a land mass way out on the horizon, it was Catalina Island! The weather was gorgeous, about 78 with a cool ocean breeze. Just wish it was so crowded in the summer. It took me 4 hours to get home due to the horrible LA traffic, bumper to bumper for miles. I had a great day though and loved getting to spend some time with Quinn.

I warned you Carla....

This is too good to let go unshared. I think Devonn and Carla are overly excited about our trip to Hawaii that it's affecting their brain cells, lol. Carla called me today to tell me that they were making the parking reservation for our car near the airport and wanted to know the FJ's license plate number?? I said "uh... PAPASFJ", she SAID der.. Devonn didn't even get it either. That was great, best call of the day.

Oh My Gosh!!

Devonn and Carla came over with a BIG surprise. They are taking Blaine and I to Hawaii!!!!! I think they got a great package. I think they were trying to one up Gary and Emilee for getting us the WII for Christmas, lol. Actually they had planned to go anyway and decided to take us along since the airlines are having extremly low rates right now!! Here is where we are staying, the Wyland Waikiki. I can't wait to snorkle! We are going during Spring Break so we'll have some income tax refund money. I feel a little bad that they should buy an old used car instead, but not too bad, lol. :)
