"F" is for F A M I L Y and F R I E N D S

I am trying to keep posting these alphabet words and make a post with them. Today I share the letter "F". I will write about "Family" although if you know me very well you know I am a "PHAMILY" girl. It stems from my days with Princess House and the PH stands for simply princess and house. Anyway you look at "family" they are such an important part of our heritage and needed simply to keep society intact.

I have always treasured this Lois Wyse quote.

Three of my grandchildren with their father. Left to right, Colton, Andrew and Christal with their dad Roger. Colton is the father of Harrison James (1), Andrew is the father of Jayden and Michael. Christal has three children, Jaslin (13), Alexis (11) and Devin (9). so that much make me the "Great: Grandmother!. Hmmm.....

This is the little grand girl Addy (9) with her mom Brittany and our son Jeremy. These kids were at Disneyland last month and they took this photo with Donald so they could share it with me. She shares a love of Barbie with me.

Harrison with his daddy Colton. When he sees his daddy he starts to chant "Da Da Da"! He turned one on February 10th.

Jayden (5) and Michael (1 1/2) with their Grandpa Roger. Jayden is the talked, Mr. Chatty and his little brother is the quiet one. He is also so calm and he has come a long way from his days as a tiny baby who only wanted the attentions of his mom and dad.

Here goes  dad Alex, Devin, Jaslin and Alexis. Gosh I love my family/phamily. Tomorrow I will continue with friends. Thanks for stopping by.

"H" is for Happy and Handsome Harrison

Happy is a terrific word! It just sounds h a p p y! Since I am trying to do my Alphabe post let's say H is for Happy. It is also great for Harrison and since he is a handsome boy the letter H is almost complete for today. Harrison was enjoying the Memorial Day weekend with his cousin Jaslin. I love these kiddos! My house became a home when we moved our phamily into it!

How did a girl like me get so darn blessed to be related to these handsome fella's? Jayden and cousin Devin. They are so special to me.

A house is nothing more than a place to live unless you have an awesome phamily, then it becomes a home you can you share  with them and be blessed! My hubby re-stained our old front porch deck and did a really great job! We planted some new flowers and plants at long last. What a perfect day and we spent it knowing how blessed we are because of the sacrifices of our military around the world. Memorial Day weekend is often very sad when I think how same gave their lives so you and I could enjoy a freedom in so many things. Never forget these folks who give so you can have a better life. Our oldest son's friend lives in Alaska currently with his phamily as he serves in the USAF. My late brother-in-law Gary served in the US Army. My Tata Rose's  husband John served in World War I. My father-in-law  Carl (USN) was at Pearl Harbor when the bombing occurred. My Uncle's Edward "Munson" Trontel and Tom Binder were in the USArmy and USArmy Air Corp. My hubby's uncle Virgil served in as well as his brothers Bud and Duane. My mother's cousin lost her only son, James (USMC) in Vietnam. My sister lost half the boys in her graduating class there too. My late former brother-in-law Bob served there as well as my cousin Jess who contracted and passed away from complications of Agent Orange. It was very ironic Admiral Zumwalt ordered the spraying of Agent Orange and his son passed away from it as well. Please remember all the fine people who serve our country so well. Please pray for them and know how blessed you are.

Aw...Monday is a fun Monday meme. I love Sandee sharing her smiles with us and everyone else too.

A tiny Patriot to remind you of all the blessings you have because you have one thing that is vital to being a free nation: F R E E D O M.

A part of my big phamily minus tiny Harrison at Jeremy and Brittany's wedding April 30, 2016.

The New Testament talks about Faith, Hope and Love and says the greatest of these is L O V E. My Love is... made me smile thinking of all the blessings I have because someone has sacrificed their time and often their life so I am may live free.

Ah...Maxine, you gotta love her! I know how she feels about that a/c and the cost to run it. But with warmer weather finally here, I try not to complain too much.

Some of the phamily here too.

A patriotic cake to enjoy and finally please pray. My friend Bonnie was hospitalized and I am asking for prayer. You can never take those who love you the best for granted. Her oldest son Moses posted a picture of himself with his mom today Please pray she is well soon. Bonnie was widowed a few years ago. She lost her husband Moses at a young age. He was 57. She is a good friend, a former neighbor  and her daughter Gabrielle and my Hannah are born three days apart.  If you visit Jeanne tell her you saw some blue here and go visit a few of the Blue Crew. My week was blue because our former Blue Monday Sally celebrated her birthday for 2016 in heaven. I am happy Jeanne is continuing in Sally's role.
