I'll be a certified nut.

Should We hide the....

Hey Gabby! Should we hide all the the baby chicks in the city before you get here? Just wondering. .....gotta make this short, my leg is hurting again. Yep, been bothering me for years now--but I don't like to talk about it much--brings back all the trauma ya know ?

Welcome Gabby

Hey Gabby, welcome to the blog...so good to hear from you! I apologize to everyone else for not writing, I've gotten a bit behind on my responsibilities, but I'm working hard to catch up.

WHOOOAAA IS ME

nearly 1 am and no one is on line! doesn't anyone stay up all night anymore? humph! I may as well go to bed. :)

Hope everyone is doing good. Anyone got Gabbys email? Let's get him an invite and see if he is still as smart as he used to think he was! .....if you have it, send it to Jodi so she can send him an invite to join the blog, cuz I don't know how to do it. I leave the technical stuff to Jodi and Dylan!

Have a great day! ....hope I can get up when the alarm goes off. Jack swears it wakes the neighbors and can't believe I can sleep right thru it! I bet I hit the snooze at least 5 times before I ever wake up. I also close my eyes and set the time AHEAD. That way I have to get up to find out what time it REALLY is! Jack also doesn't understand that! I like it. That way I'm always surprised when I get up and walk to the kitchen to look at the clock. It's a good way to start the day! Honest. (just a little info to help you start your day!) ....and you shut up Jimmie! It is to a good idea!!!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Earnie & Vicki

Happy Birthday to yaw... I was early this time, hope yaw saw that

It sounds as if I missed out on some more great times. I will put a stop to that in July! It's way cool to learn that Evona is gonna (maybe?) make it. whohoooooooooooooooo

It's great to hear you are up and fiesty Jack! WTG! and thank you Lord.

I am really looking forward to a new round of stories.....

back to work for me

Earnie's Birthday Party at Jodi's!

We just got home from Jodi's house where we had Mom's (Aunt Earnie's) Birthday Party with 30 or more family members. We really had a good time, and everyone showed up. Queen Aint Aud was gracious enough to "loan" her crown to Mom, so I guess that made her the new Queen for the Day. I'm sure Jodi will be posting the new Queens' pic soon. I have a feeling that the crown may end up an heirloom to be passed on to anyone having their 75th birthday! But that would be cool! Want to know who all was there? I'll try and (and hope I don't forget anyone). Of course Mom, her brother Lewis & his wife Mary from Kentucky, Debbey, Cloud, Vicki, Dennis, Mandi, Seth, Jodi, Brent, Brennah & Kelsea, Jimmie, Charlotte, Asa, Aint Aud, Bob, Cathi, Lewis, Sissy, Ransom, Derek, Lori, Ted, Sophie, Olivia, Faith....and (?) . Cloud and Asa helped the kids fly kites, and as far as we know, Cloud didn't have any accidents. The kids did wonder why a grown up kept a kite in the back of his truck "just in case"! Good food, (Jodi made the best cakes ever), good people and lots of good conversation including politics and religion! Wish all yaw could have been here! Love, Sandi

Jack is doing great!

Thanks for all your prayers. Jack needs them because he doesn't have a lot of sense when it comes to health issues. Oddly enough, Jack's brother, that happens to look very much like him, had a heart attack, and they were both scheduled for surgery at the same time, in the same hospital, with the same surgical group! To make matters worse, they were both "J" Griffin (Jacky and Johnny). But the hospital was on top of it, and taking extra precaution. They were put in rooms directly across from each other, and after laying flat for 6 hours they both wandered to the hall way wearing their hospital gowns, and dragging those IV poles! They were caught at the nurses’ station, but whined their way into going down to the cafeteria. Course they had to pull one trick on the nurses. Before they got their meds, they had to state their name and birthday twice. One nurse came to his brothers room, gave him his meds, and THEN asked him his name and birth date ,so his brother gave him his real name but Jack's birthday.....she looked like she was going to cry because she couldn't figure out if the chart was wrong, or if she just gave meds to the wrong Griffin! She got that look of fire when he told her he was just kidding! Any way, so far so good. In fact, the surgery was Tuesday, and Jack coached Sophie and Olivia's ball team on Friday. I did have to get on to him for "running", and reminded him if his "plugs" popped out, he could bleed out in less than 5 minutes. His reply? "Oh, you just worry too much". .....so yeah, we NEED prayer for this knuckle head! But he and his brother are both doing great! Love, Sandi
