Happy Birthday Aunt Margo

Yesterday was my dad's sister Margo's birthday. For fear I might get hurt, I won't publish her age, but let me just say I hope God blessed me with the exact same genes. Margo. My dad, Aunt Yvonne,  Uncle Irvin,  Steve and my aunt's best friend Becky went out for a late lunch at Applebees.  Margo and Becky came back to dad's.  I stopped over after work and Daynon, and Kennedy came over because Marcia and Jason came over. It was a house full. Marcia and Jason was down for a day.  After they left we all headed home.  Came home watched TV. Went to bed. And that is where I am headed now.  Good night.

Last week

July 12 was my cousin Babysis birthday. Dad, Steve, Stevie, Linda, Daynon, and myself went to her house on the 13th and played games and had ice cream and cake. I think God for his blessing because she was a sick woman and I was s little worried that she was not going to pull thru. But she had a lot of people praying for her. God does answer prayers.  No matter how bleak things are, we can not give up on Him because he will not give up on us

4rh of July

Back a few years ago, 4th of July was a big event at my dad's house. We shopped and prepared months before the big event. It was expensive and hard work but we enjoyed every minute of it. Every one always seemed to have a great time. We have great memories. We celebrated on a much smaller scale at my house this year. Daynon, Lynette,  Kennedy,  Stevie, Linda,Babysis, Juiny Boy, Linda's sister Tonya and nephew Dre', Steve, Daddy and myself. I cooked the food on the grill but we ate inside. Way too hot to be outside. Went out for a little bit and played with the bubbles with the kids. Daynon and Stevie left because they had a kickball game.  We did a little kareoke and then they  all left except Babysis and Juiny boy. After I cleaned the kitchen we went to wgatch the fireworks at the Diamond.  A lot of people were there. It was a nice day. Hope yours was too.

UNCLE DOC'S BIRTHDAY 6/24/12

Happy 4th of July

Been cooking and cleaning today. The kids, my dad and cousin Juiny Boy and Babysis coming over.

Hope you have a great 4th.

I'm back

I now have an app on my phone to do my blog so I will be able to write at lunch time now. 

Life is good.  Could be better but I know it could be worst. 

Jason graduated from the 8th. The 8th grade. Can not believe he is gonna be in high school. Boy oh boy time flies. And Miss Kennedy is growing like a weed. She is a talking machine now.

This heat is off the chain here lately.  I hope you all ate staying hydrated.

Went to church. For the summer we are having only one service at 10 am.  Have to get use to that.

Went to see Madea's Witness Protection yesterday with my cousin Baby Sis, her husband Juiny Boy and Jason's grandmother Marci.  The movie was funny.

Went to dads. He and Margo came from Montpelier after we got their. Made ice cream cones later and watched some of the BET Awards and then went home.

Where did 2011 go?

Man 2011 was not the best of years health wise. My Aunt Mary was in and out of the hospital or rehab but thank God she is at home. My aunt Shelia started the year out with my Aunt Yvonne, went home finally but contracted pneumonia, went to the hospital and is now recovering in a rehab facility. I pray she will be home soon. Dad had a bout with dizziness that led to eye Dr after eye Dr that led to finding he had Glaucoma and cataracts. Drops every day for the rest of his life to keep the pressure down and that is working well. On Dec 7th he had cataract surgery. The eye was clear for a few days then he was having blurriness. I took him for test this week. They. Are checking for blockages that may be causing swelling to the cornea. But I know God is gonna work that out. My aunt Margo has been dealing with cyst on her eye but she is doing better. Uncle Irvin has been in and out the hospital but is doing OK right now. Aunt Yvonne has been dealing with neck pain. I had an abscess and gad to have oral surgery. My cousin Babysis had open heart surgery and had complications afterwards. Blood in her lungs. Clot in her leg. But Thank God she is home and doing well. Thank God. But the most devastating thing that happenedadsd this year was the loss of my dad's oldest brother William WindorJohnson. He was 86 years old. He will be missed by all. He was a quiet and loving man.

So as you can see 2011 was not the greatest year. But God has brought us all thru in spite of. I pray that 2012 will be a better year. I pray in the name of Jesus great health and strength to all
my family and friends. And whatever 2012 brings, I know with God we will all see it thru.

HAVE A BLESSED, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

Let the cooking begin

Friday after my oral surgery, I was worried about pain that never came to fruition. My sons came by on the way to the Hermitage Football game. I felt fine but when I laid down the bed started to spin. Went to sleep. Saturday morning I was dizzy. Think it may have been the antibiotics. Struggled and did the things I wanted to do in the house but it took until five when I finished. JASON and his Mom got in late Friday night. They came by with his grandmother on Saturday evening. . They stayed for a bit and then he went to stay with his dad until Monday. We picked up dinner and then went to dad's. Hung out there for a bit. Chilled and watched TV.


Sunday, dizziness gone. Went to church. Went to Walmart. Came home and made two coconut Pies and two sweet potatoes pies. Went to Roses. Went to dads. Watched TV until he got back from Montpelier. Went to the hospital and visited my cousin Dorothy. She is having open heart surgery so pray for her. Also visited One of my dad's Choir members who was in the same hospital. Took dad home and came home early. Watching American Music Awards. Tomorrow Dad having a cataract removed. Please pray for him. Good night and be blessed.

The week before Thangsgiving

Usually the week before Thanksgiving I am gearing up. House cleaning, groceries and baking. None of that has been happening. I had to get off early Tuesday to take Dad to the eye Dr so I have been going in to work around 6:30 or 7:00am to make up my time. The Dr told Dad on Tuesday that his cataracts are ripe and ready for surgery. So that is schedule for next Monday. I had my oral surgery today. Unfortunately, they could not save my tooth. Fortunately it is way in the back. They gave me prescription mouth wash, antibiotic and pain medicine along with a ice bag. Praise God no ice bag or pain meds so far. Have been chilling since I got home. Be blessed for now.

Hey hey hey

Boy I have been slacking. Didn't realize it's been two weeks. Since I lat blogged, the temperature has been like a roller coaster. Pretty much like the price of gas. Warm, cold and warm again. People all around me at work are coughing and sneezing. I stated a regimen of multi vitamins, fish oil for Steve and I and we got flu shots. Hope it works.

Just like the weather, life has it ups and downs. One week we were burying a loved one and the next weekend the family celebrated at a wedding. Nicole who is the daughter of my first cousin Tyrone Johnson married Chris Redd. The wedding was at St. Peter's and the was at the Hilton in Short Pump which was beautiful. The food was great and a good time was had by all.

Sunday, Nov. 6th was my husband Steve's 59th birthday. We celebrated with Aunt Margo and Janice and cousin Chandra. Man I hope I have their genes. They look good.Stevie and Daynon went to the 49'rs and Redskins game so we celebrated his birthday with them on Monday. Daynon Stevie Linda Lynette Daddy and Kennedy came. I cooked hot dogs burgers string beans and corn. I made a cake and we had ice cream. Always enjoy the family here.

The rest of the weekend was uneventful except for the fact my cousin Dorothy has to have open heart surgery vthis will be her fourth time. But I know God will bring her thru. Please keep her in your prayers. Was at her house today helping her do some things getting Christmas decorations up and helping her with her computer.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Men's day at my church.

Here is my notes from last Sunday
"When you are between a rock and a hard place"
Psalm 18 1-3 & 6

When you are in a uncomfortable ot compromising situation you are between a rock and a hard place
David was between a rock and hard place. David felt God was the following to him:

Fortress--a safe haven

No matter what you are going thru, put your trust in God. He is a problem solver. When you are trying to figure things out he has already worked it out. That is why we must trust God with ALL our heart and he will direct our paths. When we have storms we need to go to the rock and our rock is Jesus. Pray to God in your distress. He will hear your voice when you cant tell anyone your troubles . Just a little talk with Jesus and he will make it all right. You have not because you ask not. God is standing waiting and is able today. He is willing to aid you. He will carry you thru. When we pray broken hearts are healed. When we pray shut doors will be opened . When we pray burdens will be lifted and the sinners will be saved. What ever you stand in need of today, call on the Lord. He can not answer your prays if you do not call on him. Even when you are in a hard place still praise the Lord. Thank him for what he has already done and praise him for what he is going to do.

Be blessed.

since we last met

Since I last blog, the family circle was reduced by one. My dad's oldest brother, William. Winder Johnson,SR said farewell to this side of glory. God blessed him with 86 years and that is truly a blessing. Everyone does get that blesssing. Uncle Winder was a quiet unassuming person with a golden smile. He will truly be missed by all. I know my dad is going to truly miss his older brother. I tried to spend as much tine with him this week to keep his spirits up.

Tuesday I had choir rehearsal. Wednesday was work and dad's.

Thursday was the wake for Uncle Winder. March funeral home did a great job. He looked like he wasjust resting. There was a nice crowd for the wake. The surprise of the night was my Uncle Doc showed up with my Aunt Mary who is currently in a rehab facility. It really lifted everyone's. Spirit to see her.


Friday was the homegoing services for Uncle Winder The service was beautiful. My cousins Michelle, Earl and Sony and Grandson Bill spoke with such eloquence about their dad. I was a flowers girl along with the other neices and Steve was a pall bearer . Unfortunately, when we got to the cemetery, they had set the chairs and. Tent up at the wrong grave. We all got back in the cars until they fixed the mistake. It was COLD out there. And something. About. Grave yards it always seem colder. After the cemetery, went back to the church. We were fed well. Even ice cream with our desserts. Went to dad's after the repast. My dad's cousin Walter from DC, Baby Sis from MD and Bobby from PA came to dads. OH yeah, they are bothers and sister. They stayed for awhile and then headed back home. We stayed for a bit and then went home.

Saturday, cold and rainy. Dad called and said his cousin in PA got back home to snow. The ground was covered. Too early for that stuff. We went to the post office, library, Walmart and dad's for awhile. Came home and finished housework. Then watched the movie " The Switch" with Jennifer Aniston. Funny. Went to Martin's later that evening and got salads. Went to dad's. Watched TV until ten. Came home.

Sunday we had one service. Steve went to church with me. YEAH!!! After church we came home and ate a early dinner. Watched TV and rested. Went to dads around six. Left around nine. Wacthed "Once Upon A Time" I like this show. Came home. Watched Desperate Housewives and Pan Am. Going to bed now.

Here is my notes fro today's sermon.
Proverbs 2:1-5 Ushers Day
I can't has often been referenced as a negative statement I can't is not really true its that you choose not to.
The book of Proverbs is help people to obtain good and meaningful life It gives us the wisdom and wisdom comes thru paying attention. You have to seek to learn to get wisdom. Jesus empowers the Ushers to do what Christ wants them to do. They can open the doors but they can't make us bring others to church with is. When we do that we are exercising our right as Christians. They can escort us to a seats but they can't make us worship. Thru worship we gain God's perspective. He uses worship to transform God in us. The ushers can make us comfortable in the sanctuary but they van not guarantee you a comfortable life.

Fall to winter and back to fall

This week have been a two season week, fall and winter. Last weekend the weather was beautiful. But somewhere between those beautiful days and the great weekend we just had, therewere some chilly days. Not ready for old man winter yet. On Monday, Steve and I went to the mall. Wanted to get something else for Kennedy for her birthday. We bought a Sit n Spin and I wanted to get her a couple of outfits. Went to dad's after the mall. Went home.
Tuesday, October 18th was Kennedy Noel Smith's 2nd birthday. Two years!!! Can you believe it. We went to Lynette and Daynon's. They cook hot dogs and burgers on the grill. It was just family there. We had a nice time. Enjoyed the sweet potato fries Lynette made. Dad went to choir rehearsal so he didn't come with us. Got home after nine. Watched TV. Went to bed. Wednesday was a rainy and dreary day. Aunt Janice came to town. Dad and Steve picked her up at the train station. Then they went to visit Uncle Windsor. After work, Steve and I went over Dad's and hung out talking to him and Aunt Janice. Left about nine. Came home. Watched TV. Went to bed. Thursday, I went to work and then at lunch time I went to the oral surgeon for evaluation. Well the verdict is surgery on Nov 18th. He is going to cut into my gum and clean out the tisssue above my tooth. It is possible he may have to extract my tooth but I am going to pray on that. It sounds like a lot of fun. If any one want to take my place you are gladly welcome. ...LOL. Went back to work. Had choir rehearsal but my plans got changed. Dad called and said Uncle Windor's health had made a drastic change so we took him to see his brother. One time I told my dad I wished I had siblings and he said no I didn't because you have to see them die. I watched him as he rubbed his brother's shoulder trying to help make him comfortable and I sort of understood how he felt that way. But then I think of the MANY childhood stories I have heard if him and his siblings and he will have those with him always. He will have those memories I will not have because I have no siblings. Uncle Windor is unfortunately going to be gone soon and watching him made me think of my own dad. I have had my dad for 56 years and I wish I could keep him around 56 more. I don't know which is worse. Losing someone unexpectly like I did with mom or waiting around for someone's demise....I think they both are hard to handle. I pray for my aunt and cousins right now. Please pray for them also.
Friday came quick. Went to work. Went to dads. Watched TV went home. Saturday. Cleaned house. Went to yard sale at North Gayton Church. They had a fish fry. Bought two dinners. Went to dads. He was heading out to Laundromat. We stayed for a few. Went home. Finished work around the house and then napped. Went to dads. He had been to Uncle Windor's We watched TV. Came home. Watched TV. Went to bed.
Marathon Sunday. Because I did nt rehearse so I did not sing today. The choir sounded great. Left church. Came home. After talking to dad when I cane home, we executed a plan. We went to visit Twine who is a rehab facility. We went to Montpelier to visit Aunt Shelia. And or last visit was with Aunt Mary who is in a rehab facility. Left there. Went to KFC and then to Dad's. Aunt Janice and Aunt Margo's friend Becky came by. They had been at Uncle Windors. Becky Left and we stayed and finally left around 10;15. Came home. TIRED!!! going to bed. Good night.

What A Fast Week

Last week went by so fast. Monday was a good day. Tuesday met Daynon and Stevie lunch time. Wednesday went to cookout for lunch. THURSDAY went back to the dentist. Mire bad news. I need a root canal. YIKES!!! Friday came really quick. Saturday I did some serious house cleaning. Got to get ready for the holidays. Got a call from my Aunt Janice. Always good to hear from her. (Love ya Auntie if u r reading). Daynon, Kennedy and Stevie were coming over so I ordered Papa John's pizza. We ate, Stevie left and then we all went to Short Pump mall. Rarely do I go up there. We then went to dad's and ate ice cream. Daynon and Kennedy headed home and Steve and I stayed a little while longer. We came home and I watched the movie The Tourist on DVD. It was a good movie. Went to bed. Sunday, went to church. Came home and picked up Steve. We went to Canoe Run Park. Stevie and Daynon play on a football team. We went to watch Kennedy while they played. It was beautiful day. Sadly they lost. Steve and I went to Joe's Inn after the game and ate a late breakfast. They have the best home fries. Came home and we both went to sleep. Too much fresh air I guess. Went to my Mom friend Viola Coleman's house. She had some clothes that were new that belonged to a friend. I bought a few things. Went to Dads. Aunt Margo was leaving when we got there. Talked briefly and then she left. We went in and watched TV for a bit and then John Thaniel came by. He visited about an hour or so then left. We stayed until about nine and then came home. Watching Pan Am right now. Going to bed. Got to get ready for a new Monday.


Here are my notes from church today. Be blessed.

Oct. 16. LUKE 5----Some times in the midst of trouble we think God has forsaken us and passed us by. We don't want the Lord to pass us by but we pass others by. We want to make sure he doesn't pass us but wevpass people all the time. Evangelism should be a every day lifestyle. Sometines we think they are unlikely candidates for Jesus Christ. Some of us wete unlikely candidates and God did not pass us by. Levi was a tax collector and they were most hated by all. They were classifieds with robbers and murderers. They could not be witnesses in court or enter synagogues. But Jesus did not pass him by. Jesus was critizied for this but Jesus said well people don' t need a Dr. sick people do. After his encounter with Jesus he got up and left everything and followed Jesus. He then gave a big banquet to honor Jesus and invited other sinners and tax collectors so they would hear about being saved. Jesus knew the type of person Levi was but he stopped for him. Someone stopped for us even though they knew who we were so we need to do the same and not pass others by.

The week in review

It was a good week. It actually went by very fast. Monday nothing exciting happened. Tuesday I went to the dentist. Had not been in a while. Have a cavity that will need a crown. Possible abscess and need to make an appointment with a oral surgeon. And have to go back Tuesday to finish the cleaning. Oh my. Wednesday normal day. Thursday was a routine day. Friday, worked. Daynon and Kennedy came by the house. Was not expecting them so it was a good surprise. Kennedy was either sleepy or not feeling well because she was not her usual jolly self. They stayed for a little while and left after Kennedy ate her apple. Steve and I went to dads. And Stevie made a surprise visit. We talked and watched TV for a while. He left. We watched TV a little then came home. Saturday cleaned house and switched my winter and summer clothes out. Went to a fund raiser for my cousin's neighborhood civic association. They had a fish fry. They gave you two pieces of fish, string beans, Mac/cheese (which I gave to Steve. Hate pasta), roll, slice of cake and a soda for $7.00. Came back home and cleaned. Cooked Mac/cheese for Sunday dinner and string beans. Daynon called wanted us to keep Kennedy. She got here a little after five or so and stayed a couple of hours. We had a good time with her. Each visit communication with her is getting better. She is growing so fast. Fed her dinner. We colored and played. I showed her the video of her mom and dads wedding. She was all up on the TV when she saw them dancing. LOL. Went to dads after she left. Watched TV. Came home. Watched All About Steve. It was a silly movie. Watched some of Saturday Night Live. Taped the rest. Went to bed. Sunday I went to church. Alone. It was nice when Sunday worship meant my husband, kids, aunts, cousin, grandparents, mom and dad were going to be there and we worshipped together. With age things change. I guess we have to adapt and not look back at what was. Jason was my church partner but he left me and went to Charlotte. Babysis is my only family church network when Steve is not there, as usual I always sit with her when I'm not singing. Anyway, after church I came home. I put some carrots, onions and a piece of beef in the crock pot last night so I did not have to cook today. yeah. Watched the movie Inception. Too confusing to me. I really do not like Leonardo DiCaprio movies. Went to see Twine. He was under isolation so we had to put gloves and a gown on. He is still slurring his speech and can not move his right side. But I know God can work miracles. Came back home and heated up dinner. Went to dads about six. Dad went to his church today and then stopped at Aunt Shelia's. He had dropped Aunt Margo there on his way to church. We watched TV over dads until nine. Came home. Watched TV. And now you are caught up and I am going to bed.

Today was Missions Day at church. The text came from
II Corinthians Chapter 5-In this text we find a job that every disciple of Jesus has is to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ. God has evaluated us and has determine we are not being the ambassadors we should be. When you accept Jesus you accept the job of being an ambassador and seeing that others are reconciled to God. We must be serious about leading others to Jesus Christ and salvation. It God's expectations that we be fishers of Christ and we must go where the lost are. We have a wonderful message to tell others. When you know him for yourself your life is so much better. We have a serious God that is faithful and provides for us and he what he wants us to do is be his representative. He keeps us even when we don't deserve to be kept. We should not hold back on being an ambassador because we might be the cause of someone not being saved and not going to heaven. If we are saved it is our responsibility.

Can we have a few days of autumn first Old Man Winter

Woke up before the alarm went off at 6:45. Steve was up watching TV. Eat with him for a little while then we got ready for church. After church we picked up dad. Took him to Westbury Pharmacy to get something for Aunt Shelia. Stopped at McDonalds for breakfast, then took dad home. Steve and I went to Walmart. It was the first of the month circus there. While I was there, got a call that our outside engagement to sing was canceled. Finished getting the groceries and then came home. Was glad I didn't have to sing. I was tired. Took care of somethings around the house that I could not do on Saturday. Fixed dinner. Took a nap. Dad had gone to Montpelier with his sisters Margo and Janice. Went over dad's when he got home. We watched TV. We all fell asleep. Dad slept for about two hours. I guess he was tired. Left his house about nine. Watching Pan Am. Going to bed when it goes off.

Today's sermon by Rev. Thompson was titled "No you don't ". It comes from Mark 5. Here are my notes:

When you are arrested you have the right to remain silent, but when it comes about telking people about Jesus we don't have the right to remain silent. One of the reasons we were saved in the fist place to tell others about the love of Jesus Christ. Legion was a man who knew he did not have the right to remain silent. He was delivered from demon possession. Jesus called the unclean spirits out of him into a herd of pigs. His life was changed and his mind was cleared. The devil is out to confuse and scare folks. The Gospel can change your whole life. A silent disciple can bit deal with a loud devil, that is why we can not remain silent. Silence is not the response to the great things God dies for us. The proper responsr is that we should open our mouths is to tell all who Jesus is and what he did.
By the way, it has been day two since the shot and by George I think its working. BE BLESSED!

Love Those unplanned days

Slept until to almost 8:30 this am. No big plans for the day. Got up and came in the den. Steve had been up for a while. He was watching the news. We watched for awhile then I got up and made the bed. Dad called. Said he was going to Montpelier with Aunt Janice and Margo to get some things straight at Aunt Shelia's. I told him we would go help but couldn't stay long because I found out this morning Steve wanted to go the 2 Street festival. Visited with Aunt Shelia. Did the housework an got back about 5:30. We still wanted to go to 2 Street and my Aunts wanted to go also. We all went home showered and changed and we picked them up at 7. Could not convince dad to go. To our disappointment when we got there they shut 2 Street down at 7. Everyone was gone. We had parked across Broad St. So we walked all that way for nothing. Steve and I walked back to thee car and then picked the Aunts up. Since they were all dressed and no where to go, we went out to dad's. We hung out there unttil about 9:45 and then we took them home. Steve wanted a bit to eat so we stopped at KFC on the way home. Aunt Janice if you are reading this..sorry. Steve didn't want you to feel y'all had to buy us anything because we didn't mind driving you guys around. Back to the blog. Came home. Watchingg Saturday Night Live right now. Think I will tape the rest. For an unplanned day, it was good. Hanging with my family....priceless.

Love Ya...Be Blessed!!!

Thursday and Friday events

Thursday 9/28
Because I am taking a vacation day Friday, Thursday was myvFriday. Yeah. The work day went good. Me and the four of my co-worers went to Mary Angela's in Carytown. Went there with Daynon one time.

Friday 9/30
Had a apponment with my rheumatalogist. Have arthritis, bursitis and tendinitis. This was a follow up visit. I finally manned up and took the cortisone shot in the hip. It was not as bad as I anticipated he recommended it twice before and I declined. I pray that it works. When I go to the mall it kills me. I have to walk a little and sit.

After the Dr visit, came home and picked Steve up. Took him for his annual physical. We then Left their picked up Daynon. Surprised Steve and went to Kennedy's day care and picked her up. We all went to Darby's for lunch. Then took Daynon backed to work. We then took Kennedy to the Children's Museum. She had a ball. Milking the fake cowshed playing in the water games. We stayed for a good while. Talked to.Stevie while we were there. He was checking on his niece. Left and went to Dad's. He loves it when she and/or Jason come over. He face lights up. Kids have that affect on you. We didn't stay very long because I wanted her to go take a nap. We got home and she wasn't about napping. We reclined back on the sofa and she was about the Dora coloring book. Steve went to sleep. She was sitting up and I put a sheet over her legs and closed my eyes like I was going to sleep. (By the way this was Uncle Steve's trick) and she went to sleep. I laid her down and she slept until we we woke her up to take her downtown to meet her Mom. Traffic was a beast downtown. A lot of streets were closed in anticipation of 2 Street Festival that starts Saturday. We reluctantly gave Kennedy to her Mom. Love that sweet little girl. To get over our separation sadness, we went to Lee's Chicken. Lee's makes everything better. LOL. We ate in. Took dad some livers. Watched TV at his house until 9:30. Came home and watched TV and went to bed.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday

Monday....Captain's Log 92611.

My choir sang at 8 and 11. Long day. Came home and changed clothes. Steve and I went to Golden Corral. Dad stayed in Montpelier for Men's day. We went to Daynon's to visit Kennedy. He was there but Lynette and Kennedy were shopping. Daynon had a football emporium going on. Football game on TV, football game on Opacity and Fantasy Football on the laptop. No wonder Lynette and Kennedy left. But they fame back. As always enjoyed my time with that sweet granddaughter of mine. I tell you she is better than pain pill I could take. Love her to death. Lynettes dad came while we were there. Stayed until 7 or so. Went to dads. Watched TV. Put his drops in and left a little after nine. Came home and watched Desperate Housewives and Pan Am.

it's Friday

It's been a good work week. Yesterday I had choir rehearsal. Did not get out until 8:40 or so. Steve always go to dads while I am at rehearsal. He and dad was playing dominoes when I got there. We stayed a little bit and then home. Had a lot of taped shows to watch. Went out at lunch time so I didn't see Y&R. Stayed up a little too late. Was tired when I got up this morning. Went to work. Went to Willow Lawn at lunch time. Went to Bath and Body Works and then to Chik fil A. Willow lawn is a construction mess right now. Can't believe they are turning it back to a open mall. Came home and watched Family Feud. Steve Harvey is off the chain. I wish me and my family could get on the show. After the Feud went off, we went to Va Center. While we were their, the couple from Ashland were their. Any one who reads the paper know exactly who I am talking about. It the man who wears his wife clothes. They both had on Britney Spears short school girl mini skirts sand high heels. With their leg bracelets or whatever you call them click clacking. They had the attention of the mall and I think that is what they wanted. They walked around the mall a few times like they were in a parade. After the show, we left for dads. His friend Twine called. He is in the hospital. He told us that he had a stroke on his right side. We told him we would be over to see him tomorrow. Please keep him in your prayers. He had enough going on with his health as it was.

We also talked to Kennedy on the phone. Can't wait till we actually knows what she is talking about. Wish we lived closer so we could see her more often. Jason abandoned us and went to Charlotte so I don't have him here to fill the grandchild gap. He reminds me constantly that he loves Kennedy but he was the first grand child. LOL. We came home. Watched Blue Bloods. David Letterman is on now. Think I am going to bed.

Be blessed.
