Strutting her Stuff....

Is it just me, or does anyone else think

she looks like she's stutting her stuff?

My current project is removing 2011 pics off

from my computer and into storage.

I've heard enough horror stories about computers

crashing and people losing all their pictures lately,

so I'm trying to be proactive and prevent the scenario

happening to me.

Pictures are priceless!

Just finished reading

 

This was a very lengthy book.

There were so many stories within the story

that when one mystery was solved, there were

others that were pulling you in deeper

and kept you reading long after you needed

to put the book down.

 

The majority of the tale takes place in Ethiopia

and starts with a secret union between a nun

and British surgeon.

It is a story of love, betrayal, medicine and

two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.

A good read.

They have my number...

Now I'm waiting for another call.

The father of the second set of boy & girl twins

was given both my phone numbers yesterday afternoon

and I'm sitting on pins

and needles waiting for them to call.

Will it be close enough?  Will it pay enough?

Will they have back-up to get time off to see my girls?

Will they like me and will I like them (the parents)?

Should I start reading the juggling twins book

or should I just sit tight and pray?

Sooo many questions waiting to be answered.



What is it?

I added a voting poll to my side bar for anyone

who would like to try to guess the sex of my

eigth grandchild.

What do you think it will be?

I've already voted--

boy

Winter in Color

Daniela was the only color in this cold winter day.

She was teasing me about eating the dried up flowers.

She loves to eat snow and began collecting
it from this little pine tree.

I got her to sit for two quick shots on this log pile.
Then she was off and running again.

Last Saturday it was snowing in our back yard and today it's gone again.

A winter Photo Shoot

My camera hasn't been out of the bag in a couple weeks,

so I decided a winter photo shoot was in order.

So out we went into the winter wonderland.....

Daniela had a ton of fun playing Frisbee with Danan

and chasing her around the yard.

And Danan was having the time of her life.

I will post some of the ones I took it color ....

After I upload them to Kodak, turn them, save them and

upload them here, and finally

tear my hair out because I have to go through this

crazy process.   UGH!

Got the book! But not.............

Got the book, Juggling Twins, but now it doesn't look

 like I will be needing it anytime soon.

I was suppose to hear by last Friday regarding becoming

a Nanny for a set of newborn girl/boy twins.

Friday came and went, but no call or email, so

I decided to just wait a while longer, but then I had another

offer so I called the Mom of the twins.

They had decided to let their grandparents watch them

their first six months.  The babies were preemies

and still require a considerable amount of care.

She told me of all the applicants that applied that

they liked me the best and she'll keep my information, so she

can contact me in six months to see if I'm still looking for a change. 

To say I'm bummed is an understatement.

I'm going to keep my eye out looking for that dream job,

but in the meantime I'm still a Mother's Helper.
