HALLOWEEN IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER...

O.K. I know that you are all probably board out of your skull by now, but I just couldn't resist buying this darling outfit for our Halloween pumpkin. Our little pumpkin is already fourteen months old and full of energy. Now Grammie is trying to teaching her to say "TRICK OR TREAT", she is at the DADADADA and MAMAMAMA stage right now...

MACIE TIME...

SORRY I JUST LOVE THIS DARLING 14 MONTH OLD... SHE IS SO DARN CUTE, PLUS SHE MAKES US LAUGH.

MANY FACES OF MACIE...

Today we went to the Stanislaus State Fundraiser for the Baseball team. Since Rita and Kevin had to work Nick and I had the honors of taking care of our beautiful granddaughter Macie. I just love all of these expression photos of our granddaughter...

IT'S FALL...

Since we have been going through a lot of my parents collections I saw this interesting large pan, I had a feeling that this pan had some history or story to it... will talking with my mother I found out that this pan is the one which my Grandma Gibson (my dad's mother) use to make all the holiday dinner in like the turkey. I can remember seeing this pan on the house on Walnut Avenue in Stockton in the basement, this pan would only come out in November and December each year. Since I already have a lot of big pans I didn't want it to go to Hospice so I thought it would look nice full of pumpkins and fall stuff for the October and November. When I called my mother she was thrilled that it was still in use then told me the story of the pan...

MORE PHOTOS OF THE WEDDING...

I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF THE BRIDE & GROOM IN ALL OF MY PHOTOS, THE CLOSEST PHOTOS THAT I HAVE ARE OF BRIAN & ALI (MY SON & HIS WIFE). MY FAVORITE PHOTO IS THE LAST PHOTO OF THE SUN SETTING IT JUST SUMS IT UP TO ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WEDDING....

ZAC H & AUDREY'S WEDDING 10/2/10

ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2ND WE WENT TO ZACH MARING & AUDREY CAMPANA'S WEDDING. THE WEDDING WAS IN PATTERSON AND THE RECEPTION WAS AT AUDREY'S HOME. SINCE IT HAD RAINED IN THE MORNING IT WAS SO HOT AND MUGGY OUTSIDE. THE WEDDING WAS NICE AND THE RECEPTION WAS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE ALL THE LITTLE TOUCHES THAT AUDREY AND HER MOM DID AT THE WEDDING.

JUST SOME FUN PHOTOS OF MURPHYS...

I HAD SO MUCH FUN WALKING AROUND TAKING PHOTOS OF SIGNS AND COLORFUL FROGS WHEN WE WERE WALKING AROUND MURPHYS...

A DAY IN MURPHYS... OCTOBER 1ST, 2010

EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME I TOLD MY MOTHER THAT WE WERE HAVING LUNCH AT THE MURPHYS HOTEL. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE MURPHYS HOTEL SINCE I WAS A YOUNG GIRL. THE FOOD WAS JUST OK BUT THE HISTORY OF THIS BUILDING AND ALL THE BUILDING AROUND MADE THE LUNCH EVEN BETTER...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD...

OCTOBER 1ST, 1932 my father was born. I miss him very much but I also know that he is in a better place HEAVEN. I'm not one to take grave site photos but it was just a beautiful warm and muggy kind of day in Murphys, CA. The view at the is beautiful where my father is you can see the mountains in all directions.
