Crawling out of the gutter....

I felt good enough today to lift my head up and look over the curb from the gutter to see what is happening. The first headline I see in the local news is that Indianapolis won the Super Bowl bid for 2012! Now the only thing that could make that sweeter is if we can get the Colts to the Super Bowl again that year!!

Heard a rumor over at Rod's blog that Universal may not be done with filming in Indiana! They possibly still have some prison filming to do. As with everything regarding the movie "Public Enemy" it's tentative and time will tell. I sure hope they do so I get another chance to see Johnny Depp. Maybe this time the camera will work WITH me and I can get some good shots of him!

After visiting other sites I added a counter and location map! I didn't think too many people were checking this place out but I've had 50 hits since the weekend. Visitor's have stopped by from Canada, Germany, Japan and from both the east coast and west coast of the US!!

Since I'm posting late today (I'm at home) I thought I'd post a few pictures of the family...hope they don't mind! he he he

Jeremy and Amanda 1982 and in 1999

This was taken at the Key West Airport in 1999. We had all gotten together to go to Key West to surprise my brother, Phil, for his big 5 0 birthday..From left to right....Mom (Pat), Alicia (sister), Amanda (peeking between Alicia and Phil), Phil, Dad (Bob, peeking over Phil's other shoulder), Kay (sister) and me. Alicia's daughter, Krista, and Krista's friend Autumn went with us too. Not sure why one or both aren't in this picture.

That's it for today....gotta run. Have a safe evening everyone and see around the blogs tomorrow!

Soccer, Graduation and Grandkids...

Our day started out at a soccer field in Centerville, IN. Our granddaughter was having her first soccer tournament. She is 5 and it was quite hilarious to watch. They basically let the kids take turns kicking (dribbling?) the ball for a goal. Faith did good and they are really just teaching the the funamentals and sportsmanship of the game.

Left there and went to visit father-in-law, Vernon, at hospital. He had stomach surgery friday. Was suppose the be a 2 hour surgery to straighten out his stomach but when the Dr. got in there he saw the stomach had basically rubbed a hole in the diaphram. So he had to make an incision to repair that so instead of an overnight stay it's going to be 4-6 days. We left there an when to nursing home to visist mother-in-law, Helen, at nursing home. Bob took her a BIG basket of silk flowers and we had a nice visit.

From there we went to something that at one time in my life I thought I would never see!! Our son, Jeremy, graduated from college. Not only did he graduate! He graduated Cum Laude and Honor Society!! His field is Computer Science and I alomost turned into a blubbering idiot when he crossed the stage and received his degree. We all went to Applebee's after for dinner then we were asked if the girls, Faith and Lilly, could come home with us for the night. I don't think they had any plans but sounded like Jeremy just wanted to celebrate sooo we brought them home with us to give Jeremy and Tiffany some time to 'celebrate' lol

The girls finally went to bed at 10:30 but heard them upstairs playing and talking until around midnight. When they finally quieted down I was off to slumberland myself. At 6:30am Faith knocks on our bedroom door to let us know she woke up. It had started raining was beginning to thunder so after a quick potty break I talked her into laying down again. She would go back to bed but only if I would laydown with her...bless her lol. So we went back to bed until 10:00. Then it was off and running with a diaper change for Lilly and cups of milk for both, coffee for me and PawPaw. While I fried bacon and eggs the 3 of them watched tv. Now the dishes are washed, stomachs are full and this MawMaw is signing off here to sit down and enjoy one more cup of java...hmmmm maybe two!
