It's time to check in with my blogging buddies, I hope everyone is having a great summer!
We have had such a happy, wonderful and busy summer, so far!
Love every minute with our grandkids, the visits and sleep overs are a blast!
Oh goodness, I love being a kid right along with them!
Here we are doing a little gardening!

She is a great in the kitchen too.
Helped make a delicious meat loaf the other night!

Arts and Crafts Galore~
The decoupage frames look great, scrapbooking was a blast. This smart little sweetheart, the queen of all crafts and enjoys every minute! We are peas in a pod!
Best teacher of all time. She ran her own school and ran a mighty organized school.
Her dolls are the best students too...no fussing.
We have our own little singing star from Frozen!
She can sing "Let It Go," no kidding, as great at Anna!
The entire second floor was used as her stage, a beautiful performance!
Can this little munchkin play card games? Oh yes and is a little competitor and is a winner!
She even makes up her own games and they are quite good~
She wants us to send her game ideas to Mattel!
We may!
Batman, Cape Crusader, he's a star in his own right!
This boy loves to play and play hard!
Cars, airplanes, more cars, all kinds of games and oh, can build anything!
He's our little scientist, he loves to experiment!
He and Pop...
Constructing Buzzsaw Logs!
Of course, hours in the pool!
Nana even get her hair wet and goes under water and even enjoyed it!
Okay to the Not SO GOOD kind of notes...
Well, I got the dreaded call I've been waiting for three months for. Some of you know I have a heart that's not up to par. I have had a pacemaker for a few years and now I must have a defibrillator! So, I'm getting an upgraded pacer and and defibrillator. A dual, so I'll be super bionic. Oh joy!
I thought and the cardiologist mentioned it was possible I might not need to have this procedure done. I was not expecting this news, of course! I was doing so well, I thought. Oh well, I am ready to feel even better, just want to get it over and done with.

We have had roofers hammering away on our new roof. First crew, started Friday.
NO SHOW on Saturday or Sunday! Poured down rain on Friday night. Saturday, our roof leaked, so now a room has to be painted, carpet and all be linens have to be cleaned and dry cleaned!
Roof was finished yesterday morning...
Rained yesterday afternoon, more leaks. They were out yesterday evening, fixed it.
More walls to be repaired inside.

One of our large palm trees and our neighbor's tall pine tree were hit by lighting a month ago!
Such crazy weather!
Such crazy weather!
Had to have them cut down, what a sight!
I was scared just watching!
I'm ready for this cloud to clear out from over me and want the sunshine back!
I know it'll happen! I believe in the power of positive thinking and prayer!
I'm off now to start another day...

ReplyDeleteWhat a grand time with your grandbabies! I laughed when I read the part about "getting your hair wet". That soooo sounds like me...but for the grands...there isn't much I won't do! Nancy, I am praying for you right now and asking our Lord to go before you with with the heart issues. He is a great and mighty God. Praising God now too for what He is going to accomplish. Hugs and blessings to you my friend, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHello Nancy, what fun you are having this summer with your grandchildren. Beautiful photos of all your grands! And I am sending my hugs and prayers for you, keeping positive thoughts that you will be better than ever. We've been there with the new roof troubles and the tree cutting, glad that is over now. Enjoy your day and have a HAPPY 4th of JULY!
ReplyDeleteI can tell by your photos and words that family is always #1.
ReplyDeleteYou give them your all♥
I love that Nancy.I know that feeling of pure love.
And when we are not 100% I find it makes us appreciate the moments even more if that is possible.
I want that cloud to lift over your head to.
And I hope thsi new apparatus..does the trick..
We had a new roof covering put on last fall..and tress cut too..
I hear you:)
Take care!
Now if I din't make so many typos..
ReplyDeletethis and trees.;)
Loved and enjoyed all your good news! The not so good, praying all will go well and good as new soon!
ReplyDeletePraying for your upcoming procedure that it will fix the problem, and you will feel so much better. I know you enjoyed spending time with those smart, precious grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteYou could have titled this post The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly (oh--and the Sweet & Cute-when it comes to the grandkids). lol
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you have to have that procedure done but just think how great you will feel once it is behind you! So sorry about the house mess though. The roofers should have COVERED that roof that was left exposed and SHOULD be liable for what happened inside. We ran a home improvement co for many years and our roofers HAD to tarp everything if they were going to be off the job for any reason. Hope they pay for the damage incurred.
Have a great fourth- it's gonna be a busy one around here. xo Diana
Nancy, Sending big hugs to you. You know you are in our prayers. With all the new procedures , you should do very well and feel so much better. I am so glad to read of the fun times with the kids. We sure love those little guys don't we?Blessings to all for a great 4th of July weekend. xoxo,Susie

Dear, dear NANCY!
ReplyDeleteI first have to thank you for coming to visit my post and for leaving such a kind word....but YOU, YOU? OK, all will be well, correct, about your pacemaker upgrade? I just want to let you know that I am thinking of you, and hoping that all goes well. I pray that this cloud of circumstances will be healed and back in sunny order....I know you all have had some wild weather and may peace and calm now take over.
Your grands are darling, and the love that beams out....I must follow here to keep updated and find out how you are!
Have a wonderful fourth of July today that will bring you happiness. LOVE, Anita
Hi Nancy! Sorry about all the damage the storms did! Hope they are over too! Your little grands are just darling! I'm sure they were having a great time in your gorgeous pool! Happy 4th, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear this news about your heart. As your new blog friend, I didn't know this. I hope everything turns out ok with this and you're feeling better soon. It looks like you are enjoying this hot summer with your precious grandkids. When I saw your pool I remembered our pool at the old house. When we downsized, we moved to a smaller home. I miss the pool sometimes, but so much work as we get older. I hope all the construction work on your roof is completed soon, that's no fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week, Nancy.

Hi Nancy it is so nice to meet you. Kris has introduced me to so many lovely bloggers. I really enjoyed reading about you. Enjoy your week. Jo
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you guys have had a lot of fun over the past few months! I’m sorry to hear about the roof, though. I guess it was just really bad timing that it started raining while repairs were on the way. Though they should’ve taken the necessary precautions for such situations. Anyway, I hope the rest of the year goes well for you guys. Cheers!
