been busy......

You have to know it has been too busy around here.......that is why I haven't blogged in awhile........you know this ..........right??? Well.....let me explain.......first there was WHIBSIB.......the annual trek to Buda Texas and the LSSK gal knitting weekend!  
 This year seemed so much better than the past.......wait......maybe I say that every year?
But no matter it was totally fun.........
Then there was the bright idea of getting a new microwave..........it was time. So off shopping I went and came home with lots of help.........
next it was out with the old..........
                                              and in with the new....

only one problem............seems we had parts left over that didn't fit.........and missing parts as well.......so I spent the afternoon chatting with "I-Sac" online........only for him to tell me I needed to 'purchase the missing parts'? For a new unit???

Instead I went back to 'the source'......the store couldn't figure why 'interesting' parts were shipped with our micro either but had a great suggestion.......so back home........hubby and I 'un-install' new micro........back to store.........get refund..........walk back to appliance center and pick out a 'new' micro (I had the man open the box and we checked everything) then back home to 're-install' my new Microwave!    Somehow it seemed much easier the second time around.   And we also noticed the difference in the first one and the one we kept.......


This one looks like the model I meant to purchase the first time.........the other one?  Have decided that it was the 'reject'......but no matter now I have a happier kitchen!

And for your entertainment............

Just a haircut........

You wouldn't think something as simple as a haircut would change your looks so much!

We are about to the 6 month age of Dakota........so to celebrate that and the coming of Summer I decided a haircut would be just the ticket. 

This morning I took a pup to the groomer..........
And this afternoon??

 a brand new dog!!!

something new for Thursdays`

This last Thursday we decided to do something different .....
 We went to the Museum on Ft. Hood..........
PopPa D and I have taken a few other family members to see the tanks, helicopters, memories and facts there before....but for some reason the Sea Bee had never been invited......so off we went.  

Richard walked through with Jeff ....
 
 Angela, Lilly and I followed a long listening to things that he remembered as 'everyday life' while he was inlisted and serving his 20+years in the US Army.


Jase just had fun.......

April already!

Have been running in circles around the Imholte Inn lately....March slipped by so quickly......I even forgot to take all the paperwork to the Tax Man!!!  But sanity is settling in ......well for a few days anyway........

I believe I have mentioned that 'the Kid' and Alissa are going to gift us with a new baby........this is lucky 13 in the Grandchildren count......and 'lucky' I feel....today we found out ..........
(it always amazes me when I see pictures like this.....I remember the day you first saw your baby.....it's birthday!) 
  But the favorite picture is this........
She isn't very shy is she? 
Alissa will have to work on that..........
........now if you listen very closely...........you can hear the smiles from where you are at!!!
 Alissa and Rodney.....
..August 21 will be here before you know it.....
...and I will be a 'new' GramMa all over again......
