Another year**sigh** where is time going? My little Nana is now three!
And she has been joined by a baby brother,Bubby. He has just turned one, so he isn't so little anymore either.
There has been so much going on. I have been working at the local VA for over a year now. I love it, but it can be very stressful at times. But things can never be static for very long in this household! We have made the decision.(it only took us about five years) to move to another state. There really isn't anything holding us here anymore. Gary's son rarely contacts us..he is busy with his own life, his daughter's will never really be a part of our lives, as much as that pains him and my family has been after me for years to move closer to them and I think it is about time for that.
So we're selling everything off that we can't fit into a 6x12 trailer and the back of a pickup and scooting off to the middle of the country...where there is actually sunlight more than 2 weeks a year!! YAY!!!!

Damn..its been a year!!
Can't believe that it has been nearly a year since I have posted anything on here! Doesn't seem possible that time has flown by that fast. So much has happened in the last eleven months, though, a real eventful time.
Many of you already know of Gary's mother's passing in July; it was a sad, hard time for all. I'm really proud of how well Al has dealt with her loss, how he concentrates on the good times that they shared. That he is now facing his own mortality when it was discovered that the bladder cancer that they hoped they had beaten last year has now spread to his lungs, is another blow to the family. We're all still kind of numbed with the news...
My son-in-law was re-stationed clear across the United States last fall. Broke my heart!! Not having my daughter and grandchild nearby has been a real challenge for me! It was a good move for them I know; a better chance for Toby to advance in his career, but I sooo miss holding that sweet little one in my arms and seeing her learn to do all kinds of things. And she is getting so big!! She is going to be taller than her mother is, I'm sure.
More news is that in August we'll be welcoming another member to the family, as Jennie is expecting another baby. Don't know how I'll be able to stay here while that is happening! Grrrr.
I'm still taking pictures; Gary gave a beautiful camera for Christmas, but with school & the weather I haven't been able to get out much to take many pictures. Here are a few of them though.
I guess that'll be all for now. Hopefully I'll get on here more often than I have been!

Ehhh....
Well, I guess its about time I got off my ass and wrote something on here. At a loss on what to put down though, not much exciting happens around here.
PawPaw and Leanna

Dreaming of a White Christmas....
Its been nearly a month since I've made my last post & I'd love to say that I have been just to busy to post anything, but the truth is I've just been to dang lazy.
Gary & I kept Leanna last weekend so Mom & Dad could rest..uh-huh, right!!
While she was here we had a little bit of snow, so we bundled her up & took her out in it so we could participate in her first snow experience. The expression on her face, I think, says it all.
And while Gary took that photograph, I have still been doing my fair share of snapping pics. Especially these last three or four days. We have had snow almost non-stop. Urrrggg!! But I have managed to get some nice shots.
This is the garden by the driveway..or what you can see of it.
The trees on the corner of the street on a short sun break..
Christmas decorations across the street...
Our poor little frog in the back yard...
All the kids were supposed to be coming to our house for Christmas dinner, hopefully they'll be able to make it!!

More photographs
I am continuing taking pictures, but I have to admit it is getting harder to go out when we are having our typical wet, gray and cold Washington winter weather. Ugh. But nonetheless I have managed to get a few good shots, and Gary & I have enjoyed jumping in the car and tootleling about the country so I can take pictures. Here are some of the recent ones;
