Forgiveness

2012-01-14T08:58:00.002-05:00

Please forgive me.......

I know I have been M.I.A. for a long time!

So much has happened in my life.

I do still creep your pages and am friends with some on Facebook, not to mention following some on Pinterest!

I have not forgotten about you all!!!!

Last year, while making Lye soap for my Shoppe opening, I lost one of my Yorkies

(Porsche)

It was really hard on me and I have still not opened my shoppe because I felt like that is what took my Girl from me and blamed myself for it! After grieving for her for so long, I came across a puppy that was related to Porsche. I looked at her picture every day and eventually decided she was what I neede to ease my pain. She will never replace Porsche in my heart, but she definitely reminds me of her everyday!

Meet Paityn Paige!

She is a real handful, she often acts and sounds just like her Aunt and I sometimes think my Porsche teaches her what I I need in every situation!

Now, onto better things.......

I am the proud Mammi of a beautiful baby girl, Kiara Lynn Roberts!

She was born on November 21st.and weighed 9lbs. 8oz..

My son, his fiancée and Kiara have since moved back home!

I love being able to see her and help care for her everyday.....

But it sure has made life busy and full!

Exactly what I have always enjoyed in my life,

I seem to be the happiest when everything is crazy busy.

My oldest daughter is moving right along in her pregnancy and we will soon be meeting

Gracie Mae Furner!

So, I have a baby shower that needs to be planned around mid February, which doesn't give me much time! Gracie is due on March 2nd. I am so excited!

I hope this post finds you all well and that all your hopes and dreams be one reality in 2012!!!!! Hope, Love & Foregiveness,

Becky

Poppin in.....

Just wanted to pop in to say a big hello and lots of hugz to all my followers and friends in blogland.

Above is the newest picture of my 1st grandbaby.

We found out on Wednesday that this is a picture of our little baby GIRL!

Her name will be Kiara Lynn

I just love it!

My Son and his Fiance are so excited!

This morning my Daughter, Sonja, came for our weight watcher's breakfast as usual......

Except today she had some news for me and her Dad.

SHE IS EXPECTING, too!!!!

Her and Hubby have been married for 5 years and have wanted to try for their first child for quite some time. Always seemed to be "not the right time for them".

I explained to them that they will always be

1. At the beginning of the wrong time

2. In the middle of the wrong time

3. At the end of the wrong time

Their is no PERFECT time, just has to be when you are ready!

Well, They are ready NOW!!!!

Can you believe it?

5 months ago, I wondered if I would ever have GRANDS.....

Now I will be having TWO!

And they will only be about 4 months apart!

I am so excited for both of my Babies who are having Babies!

Daddy says the youngest, (She is only 13) is getting a chastity belt for christmas!

LOL

I don't think he is ready to be a grampy, even though he is gonna be 50 in February!

I have been working steadily on the shoppe and will post some more pics soon.

I'm in the process of placing furniture and goodes.

I wouldn't want to spoil the impact of the finished shoppe at this point, LOL.

Shoppe Progress

2011-06-08T17:23:00.000-04:00

I started my day working in the soon to be Shoppe!

I ran the electrical, well....

until I ran out of outlet boxes.

Then I just ran the wires so I can finish putting in the boxes when Hubby stops to get me more.

As you can see, no little blue box attached to those wires,

but there will be!

Then I proceeded to do the insulation on the walls.

Hot, Humid, Sticky, Sweaty & ITCHY!!!!!!!!!

But the walls are all insulated!!!!!

YAY!

I hate that part of the building process,

especially all alone!

But a little tears and some determination will always get them job done. I just put on my Big Girl Panties and did it myself!

It's not the first time I've done this sort of thing.

I used to work with my Hubby building and renovating houses.

I just hate doing it alone!

I must admit, it will be worth it when it's done!

I'll keep you posted on progress :-)

Time for dinner and a trip to Lowe's to buy the plywood!

Dinner was my favorite! This is where my oldest daughter, Sonja works. Her night off, but we went anyways! Great food everytime!

Okay, back to work!

Plywood floor is done! This will be painted with porch paint. It will withstand the wet, mud and traffic!

Hopefully there will be lots of traffic! LOL
