Catch up ( once again)

Here are some pictures of some of the events of the last few months. They include David graduating high school, Dave graduating with his BS, Miss Caterina, Jill's Wedding, David's Eagle Scout Court of Honor and misc. That is if my photos are on here. I had another hard drive bite the dust but fortunately was able to save my pics to a flash drive first.

More Grandbaby

Caterina Yvonne is here

Caterina was born last night at 9:21. She weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long. Lots of black hair as you can see from the photo. Jill did a great job. All natural. She was in labor about 9 hours. Not bad for a first baby.

Great Depression Cooking with Clara

I saw this on Yahoo today and went and looked at all of her video's on YouTube. I thought they were great and might give one or two of her recipes a try. Enjoy.

Happy 18th birthday David

Well my baby turned 18 on Wed. Feb. 4th. So hard to believe that they are all adults now. Wow!
Four more months and he will graduate from High School. I will post a few pictures as soon as I get them from Dave.

Caterinas first picture : )

Great Reciipe

I received this in a email thought it was great. I will try to practice some of it !

A Great Recipe for a peace-filled life in 2009

1. Take a 10 to 30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It
is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about
what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement,
'My purpose is to __________ today. I am thankful for______________'

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that
is manufactured in plants.

5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild
Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues
of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead
invest your energy in the positive present moment.

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with a maxed out charge card.

9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument.
Agree to disagree.

13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their
journey is all about.

15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years,
will this matter?'

17. Forgive everyone for everything.

18. What other people think of you is none of your business.

19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends
will. Stay in touch.

22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:
I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings.
You'll be smiling before you know it.
