Wordless Wednesday
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
And the not so wordless...
I know you're all waiting for pics of Luz and I meeting... but I actually have mentioned a few times that I don't get to meet her YET. Amanda & Hector want a few days at home with her to get settled in and see how she adjusts before introducing the rest of our crazy family into the mix! I don't blame them a bit. And when I DO finally meet Luz - which I'm sure will come about totally unexpectedly on MY part... you know... y'all will be the FIRST to know!!! ;)

Wordless Wednesday ... and 10 - 20 - 30
Wordless Wednesday ... Lake Wateree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wordy Wednesday... 10, 20, 30... I found this meme over at Susan's yesterday. It hurt my brain to try to remember back this far - but I did it! The idea is to tell "what you were doing" 10, 20 and 30 years ago! Easy - right? *nods* Here we go!
10 years ago - I was 40 years old, living where I am, and substitute teaching in the Elementary school. Amanda was 21, Mathew was 10 and the twins were 8. This means that I was still vice president of the PTA and our school's representative to the County Council of PTA's. Amanda was in the Army and I was missing her. Mathew & Derek were involved in baseball and soccer - and I was team mom for at least two of those teams! Krysti was playing softball that year! Dennis has worked in the same place for as long as I've known him and was doing the same job he is now -- sketching blueprints for the sheet metal company he works for! We were probably at the height of our "busy quotient" at this point in our lives!
20 years ago - I was 30 years old. Dennis and I had been married for a year and I was still doing sheet metal work. Amanda was 11, and had just started Middle school. Mathew was 10 months old and would soon (very soon) develop an upper respiratory infection that would turn into pneumonia and cost me almost 2 months work - and a ton of worry! Our house was brand new - we had just moved into it in March, and I was busy busy busy making it our "home".
30 years ago - I was 20 years old. (WOW! Was I really?) *whew*... Amanda was just a baby. I was living back at home with my mother, receiving Welfare because I WANTED to be a stay-at-home mom. We were living in Quince Orchard apartments in Gaithersburg and Dennis wasn't even an idea that had formed yet! I was a Catholic, and attended St. Rose of Lima church in Germantown WHEN I attended. (like Christmas and Easter back then!) At that time I was very "homey" and into "natural" -- I made all my own bread! Amanda never tasted store bought bread until she was about 4 years old ... she was AMAZED that we could go to the store and buy it!!! I was also honing my sewing skills and before long would be making 90% of the clothes that she wore! (boy did that get old quick!) LOL! But it did save money! I'm not sure that would be true anymore -- we didn't have Walmart back then! (did I just say "back then"???) It really was cheaper to buy material and make clothes than to buy what was on the rack! I did not yet have a car and so was dependent upon either my mother to take me places ... or my feet and Amanda's stroller! Public transportation was not much of an option as Gaithersburg was still fairly rural at that time. We did have a little strip shopping center a few blocks away though - and it even had a grocery store - so I made out pretty well -- AND it kept me in shape!!! (though I still thought I was fat...) Hm... those were the days!
Do YOU wanna take a trip down memory lane? Let me know if you do! I'll come visit!

Wordless Wednesday --- Tupac
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the NOT wordless part....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course the outfit(s) down below are for Little Lucy Luz! Not to worry - both have been paid for and are being kept! There has just been
discussion as to which of the two tops make the outfit
COOL... and I might say that allllllll of my friends are a bunch of
DORKS! (oh no... I do NOT do name-calling on MY blog!) I, of course, LOVE both - which is why I forked out money for BOTH. BUT... I AM of the opinion that in the name of COOL, the bottom top wins! Of course, my 30 year old UBER cool daughter (and Mommy to Lucy Luz) believes that the rather normal really cute white top IS the COOL top! Soooooooo.... thanks to y'all - SHE wins! I lose! Thanks guys... thanks a million! ROFL!
*whispers very quietly* -
the little dude in my wordless wednesday is my other grandbaby... Tupac!
He is patiently waiting for big sister, Luz, to come live with him!
