My photo
This is more of a photo scrapbook and a place to write (and vent) my thoughts and feelings and brag about my grandkids.. I am a 60 something wife, mom & grandma. I've been married to my best friend Walt since 1977. The most important thing in my life is family. We have been blessed with some great kids, our daughter Kayci, son Cody, our awesome grandson Jesse, our precious granddaughters Cassandra and Chelsea and our newest grandson John. We are currently raising our grandson Jesse and dealing with things such as Autism & ADHD. We have lived in northern Arizona for most of the last 35 years and love it here. We've had our ups & downs ~ but life is good... I'll add a little here - my sweetheart and best friend Walt passed away unexpectedly January 8, 2014. He will be missed by many.

Ahhhh stress! Yesterday was an adventure - on the way to Jesse's speech therapy the car started making a strange sound.. and then a loud grinding noise and lots of smoke or steam. I'm freaking which causes Jesse to freak, which actually calms me down because someone has to remain calm. Luckily Walt was with us, nothing fazes him..  We get to the parking lot and woosh!!! water and steam everywhere! Jesse runs into the building afraid of the car now. Thank goodness for AAA, and friends who are mechanics, and brothers-in-law who come to the rescue when we needed a ride home. Jesse got to ride in the tow truck (another adventure!) and luckily it was only the water pump (relativly inexpensive) I should be thankful that it happened where it did, that I wasn't alone, that Rick was available to work on it, that Chuck was able to give us a ride back home, and that I renewed my AAA membership! Now just to figure out how to pay for it...  And how to get rid of this stress headache that is driving me crazy & making me cranky.. (Walt & Jesse's words)
