This and that….

 I have a new granddaughter. Will-ow Par-ker. The name was chosen from the movie of the same name, Willow and that’s ok, I actually like Willow but to show the maturity of my son and his wife who dress alike in Disney clothes and have a Disney outfit for every single holiday no matter how trivial plus are AVID superhero movie fans… The middle name is after Spider Man’s Peter Parker. I am literally face palming myself.

And for those that are curious, no, my son has not told us nor will he. My YM tells us these things.

This birth is not bothering me nearly as much as the OM’s . Jo-ry taught me long ago how to let go of him.  It’s so much easier the second time. 

The OM will be coming to my home Sunday. She’ll be dropping the youngest off as he’s going to the Falls to spend time with YM and meet the Om’s baby. Then a week later she’ll be here again to pick up the YM after she flies in from a trip to California. My stomach feels very twisty about that, she’ll be outside in view of us for the first time in about 2 years. Makes me shake thinking about it. 

New animals on the island? Yes! First my husband has ran into and over two cottonmouth’s this week. Love me a good deadly snake…… It looks like the Nutria have been… Uh, let’s say, re-homed, because they aren’t here anymore BUT!! They’re remodeling the “green” area on the island which is surrounded by shops and restaurants, the stream flows through it, picnic blankets are a requirement and bands play outside every week of every month when it’s not too cold or too hot. It’s next to a huge treehouse so lots of families, anyway, the new owners are changing things up a bit and it’s made the bunnies scatter. That’s brought vultures up to about three ft in height who are sitting on our balconies. Ya, between that and the massive owls it feels a little like the Hunger Games when walking outside with a pet! I’ll try and put a pic down below of one of the smaller ones. 

It’s dangerous in the Southern states. In Washington my biggest problem was sometimes finding a black widow. It’s crazy how used you can get to dangerous weather and animals. 

We’re going to a wedding Sunday. My dress is so pretty!! I’ll try and out a pic of that below too. I bought a white sun hat with a blue ribbon around the head to go with it.  So cute! 

For some reason my brother in law was in Casa Grande, where we lived in Arizona and he went to our old house. He sent us a picture, hey! Maybe I’ll put that below too! But if you’ve seen one brown house you’ve seen them all, am I right?

I’m so stressed about that missing submarine. My God. It combines my fears of deep water and suffocating and for good measure claustrophobia! I’m panicking for those people. 

Thank you to a bear for a great picture 😚

Luvs, me
