My Stars

My Stars!

Oh our Nana, she's at it again!
She says her blog is her scrapbook and so excuse her boasting about us.

In the blink of an eye, poof a grandchild can be 20! A grandchild can be going off to college and then like this little sweetie, she just turned 16 yesterday!

What a cutie!!

Oh my heavens...
She turned 16 yesterday!
Hard to believe!

Happy Birthday, sweet precious angel!

Birthday girl and her oldest cousin,
our oldest granddaughter!

This little cutie just had another birthday!
I can't believe it-
Our youngest granddaughter!

Loves to play dress up!

And loves our horses at the ranch~

Aww, our little sweetheart!
She just turned 8 and she's great!

She's a great little soccer player, great little student,
great little artist, great little dancer and
such a precious granddaughter!
Has a heart of gold!

Aww, this little guy!
6??? No way!
Lucky boy, an early start to his birthday- sweet rolls!
A request before school...I think he's a happy boy!

Has the greatest smile ever!

His eyes sparkle!

Yes, I called his name!! ~~Oh Nana!!~~
He loved it! Look at that little grin!

Look at that proud little six year old with his favorite guy in the whole world, his oldest cousin.
They are just the sweetest grandsons...
They melt my heart!

Oh and get this....
His amazing cousin,
our oldest grandson is a Senior in High School and will be playing Lacrosse in college!!

Oh my, his high school team is playing for the Lacrosse championship SUNDAY Night!
He was named player of the game last Thursday night!

Here he is after the game and I got a close up!!

Yes, he's quite the actor too!
He was in the awesome musical this semester, his senior semester,
"Anything Goes!"

Tommy Tunes Award!

FRED and PETE

Oh my heavens....how can it be?

She's back!!!!

Crazy Woman Alert-

She just sits there and watches us!

She's really odd.

Oh yes...

she meditates

she prays

she daydreams

she' got her binoculars

she's got her camera

she's got her coffee and at times, still in PJ's!
I mean, she gets up way too early!

I mean, seriously, I thought she was a birder!

Oh good grief!! She is back!!

How can that be?

Whiplash again.

Okay, if you have to know.

You see, thought I was safe from that crazy lady.

She is confused.

One day a birder and the next...

Word is out-

She's in a contest for that magazine article on..

Yep, you got it-

Rabbits!

Why is she trying to get a picture of me?

I'm past looking like a bunny.

I'm just an old scrappy looking rabbit that eats her food.

Heavens lady...

Stay inside and blog about decorating!

Yes, yes, I was very, very still.

I mean, frozen stiff!

She is always out here-

Wish I could have her evicted.

My friend Fred told me that there's no chance of that...pfffttt!

You know, can't figure Fred out.

I don't know, I sure think his hanging upside down has

really rattled his ~~pea~~ brain.

I can't believe it!

He keeps adding on to his family.

Family tradition, I hear.

Now twins.

Now, Fred is really busted.

And word is out and crazy lady is really ticked off that he had had enough of her stinking begonias!
Wanted variety.

Greedy Fred!
We are just poor rabbits...we have to get his droppings!

I tell you, he's just a pain, oh, I can't tell you more.

He's got some ears on him.
You think mine are big! Ha!

Well, I know that rabbits are smarter than squirrels.
I'm really the brain out here.

They need me, even our bird friends.

I just don't know what the fuss is about.
I'm just happy she's back!

Food is good!

My problem is Fred....

Yep, see the other side of my bird feeder?

Broken, again.

Thief.

And, Pete, thinks he's the Great Peter Rabbit -
just keeps multiplying.

Seriously, crazy lady was gone for a such a short time,
I just knew we would lose Fred to the Olson's feeder.

No such luck.

He's just around here to eat.
Squirrels do that.
Nothing in return.

Doesn't do a thing.

Won't talk to me either.

I'm just the outcast without a name...sniff

Well, they can't fly.

I can...tee hee!

Joining some great parties~

Good Fences

Viewing Nature with Eileen

Come back and visit~
Sometimes Fred and Pete really get to acting up!

Coffee is always on-

I'll even let you use my binoculars!

Bring your own camera...you won't be sorry!

I think...tablescaping, how fun and it's such a simple pleasure.

I think...roaming around in an antique store is delightful.

I think...it's all about savoring the simple beauty of being alive.

I think...having a platform to do what I want to do is awesome.

I think...if I enjoy tablescaping that is what I'll blog about today!

I think... let's have fun with my vintage and antique plates.
