Practicing with photos


These  are 2 pictures of the house in Heber  that my Aunt Alta and Uncle Joe lived more than 50 yrs. ago.  It's impressive that it is still standing and it looks like the "new" owners have updated the siding and roof, but basically, it looks the same.  It's weird, because I dream about being in this house a lot, but back when I was a little girl or when I was in college.  I would get a ride down to Heber at Thanksgiving time from Rexburg and stay with "Grandma and Grandpa". I remember sleeping in Alta's bed and she had flannel sheets on the bed.  Being from the coast, I had never even heard of flannel sheets and I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  It's funny what you remember.  I sometimes think about asking if I could look in the house, but I don't want my memories to be altered by how it is now.  So, I just look at it from the outside sometimes when I am in Heber.  
I am practicing  putting photos on my blog site, so that tomorrow, I can put the photos of  KC on the site.  He is so cute.  I just want to hold him and play with him, but I am going to control myself for a few days and let Kristen and Dave have a chance to settle into a routine.  It makes me baby hungry like I haven't been for years.  No one told me that part of being a grandma.  

He's here!

He's here, he's big (9 lbs, 22 in) and he's cute.  K.C. was born on Aug 14 at 0041, exactly a week late, just like his daddy.  More later.  Sue

stuff and nonsense

I am at work, so this may be really a short post. Tori and I have both finished "Breaking Dawn", or as I called it, "That d*%#n vampire book" after staying up until 1:15 a.m., reading it, when I had to get up at 6:00 a.m. It was good, but I think she left it open for another one, if she wants to take that on. Now, Dana is reading it.
I don't have time right now to talk about my opinion of "Mamma Mia", but mostly I really liked it. I will post my thoughts on that tomorrow, when I have a day off from work.
Poor Cloud. I don't think she has been out of the corral for at least 3 wks, maybe longer. That isn't right, but it has been so hot during the day and I have been busy with work. Tomorrow, I am going to ride her, so I hope she behaves herself.
Tori and I are having a big garage sale this weekend. I hope we make tons of money and sell everything. Mostly I hope we sell everything. Once I have decided I don't want something, then I really want it gone. I just don't have the vehicle to take the big stuff to D.I. if it doesn't sell. I guess I can call them for a pick-up.
It was cooler the past couple of nights and yesterday, I thought I could detect a tiny hint of fall in the air. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if we had a really long autumn, but it will heat up again I'm sure.
Gotta go for now.
