Monday

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been a few days since I last blogged.  My Mom is now here with us.  Her surgery last Thursday went well and she is doing well with her recovery and recup.  It is a real joy to have her here with us.  It is an honor to take care of her.  She has done so much for me throughout the years and I want to give back to her a little of what she has done for me.  God is so good.

I hope all of you are doing well.  I will try to post some vacation pics soon.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting here at Nana's Parlor.  You are always welcome here.  come by anytime.

Love, hugs and God bless,
Janet (Kristy and Abby's Nana)

Friday

Hi Everyone,

What a great this Friday has been.  Slept in a little, it was so nice.  Jim and I enjoyed breakfast together and then I did some cleaning and laundry.  Tomorrow I am hoping to get a lot more done.  We are really enjoying this beautiful fall weather.  It was so pleasant today.  God is so good.

Plans are to pick up Mom  on Sunday at the hospital and bring her here for a few weeks for recup.  she did so well with her surgery yesterday, the Lord was really with her and guided the surgeons hands as her operated.

Well I know this is short but I am going to close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visit here in Nana's Parlor anytime.   You are always welcome here.

Love, hugs and God bless,

Long Day

Hi Everyone,

I got home from my western road trip on Tuesday at 12:00 noon and then Wednesday I went to my Mom's and then today took Mom in for her hip surgery.  Everything went well and I will be bringing her here to my house on Sunday for her recup.  Sorry it has been so long since I posted.  It has been a busy few weeks.

While on my road trip, my daughter, granddaughters and I toured the Corn Palace, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Yellowstone National Park and The Grand Teton's National Park.  I will eventually post pictures but I want to go through them and see what ones I want to post before I do.  We saw a lot of animals, beautiful nature, and even saw some snow.  It was great seeing the snow through the eyes of my granddaughters who saw snow for the first time.  They were too small when they moved to California to remember snow it was like seeing snow for the first time.

Well I better close for now, it is getting late.  I will try to post more regularly.  Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting.  I appreciate all of you.  You are always welcome here in Nana's Parlor.

Love, Hugs, and God Bless,
Janet (Kristy and Abby's Nana)

It's Monday

Hi Everyone,

Hope of you are having a great day.  Here in Vandergrift, PA it doesn't know whether to rain or shine.  Right now the sun is out about ten minutes ago it was raining.  Oh well, we need both and you never know there may be a rainbow some where.

Starting to get excited about my upcoming trip west.  Checking things out on places we want to stop.  Watching some videos too.

Well I better close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  You are always welcome here at my parlor.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Sunday Morning

Hi Everyone,

This will be a short post.  In a few minutes Jim and I will be off to church.  Looking forward to hearing a great message from the Word of God.  Today we will remember a good friend whom the Lord called home to be with Him yesterday morning.  Jim and his friend Jim worked together at Allegheny Ludlum stainless steel mill in Leechburg, PA for years.  My Jim remembers having lunch together and praying together.  He will be sadly missed.

Well I must go for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting, you are always welcome here.  Please pray for the family of my husband's friend Jim.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Beautiful Saturday

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a super day.  When I got up this morning the weather was a bit chilly, but the sky was clear and the sun was shining.  Fall is just around the corner and Jim and I are relishing the last of the tomatoes from the garden.  We had tomato toast sandwiches for breakfast and along with our fish and fries tonight for supper we are having a tomato/onion salad.  I avoid buying tomatoes at the store.  They are just not the same.

Yesterday Jim brought home our new car.  We really needed a new one.  The other car, a jeep, we had for 15 years and it was giving out on us.  So we bought a new car, a cadillac deville, used, but it is beautiful and in excellent condition.

Well I am going to close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting, you are always welcome here.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Pleasant Wednesday

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been almost a month since I last posted.  It has been a full month with my daughter here and the granddaughter.  She has spent some time in Ohio with her in-laws, but a lot of time here and Jim and I love spending time with my granddaughters.  We have done some crafting and baking.  The girls started school last week.  They are homeschooled and their Mom brought school work for the trip.  I have had the opportunity to help with the schooling.    I homeschooled Tiffany and now she is homeschooling her daughters.

Tomorrow Tiffany and the girls are going to visit in Ohio one more time before we leave next week for our trip west.  It is going to be a great trip.  Tiffany and I have many things planned with stops in different places. The girls will be able to see things that a lot of kids only read about in school.

Well I am going to close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Come visit any time.

Love and Hugs,
Janet
