Mommy Got!  I went to the store and there were several signs out selling items for Mother's Day. So what do Mother's want for Mother's Day? Mommy Got! Is a song written by my granddaughter and one of the best Mother's Day gifts ever gifted to me! for Mother's Day!  Granddaughter Working on Song My granddaughter, Olive has a beautiful voice, but her mom (born deaf) is now tone deaf has a not-so-great singing voice to most. However, Olive loves the sound of her mom's voice. Olive heard that  one day everyone in Heaven will sing praises to the Lord. So, her mom's voice will surely add to the beautiful melody of the songs in Heaven, right?  But could her mom's voice add to the beauty of songs now?  After hearing   KB's Song 10K , Olive became inspired to write a song where she would incorporate singing with talking (rap) for her mom like KB. Olive, wrote a song she could sing with her mom!  together!  My Granddaughter was so excited she ...

When you are having a tough day, week or month... This is the best message you can hear!   

 Waiting and Praying.....Sometimes that's all you can do! During these cold winter days, I ended up waiting in a Hospital ER. There's nothing you can really do but wait and pray. Time seems to go slow, every time I check my phone for the time, only a minute or so passes by.  Waiting and Praying I was remembering the wait was better the way my granddaughter Olive Denbina waited. She brought her 2 stuffed friends Sparkly and Kitty to Wait and pray with us. Sometimes you just want company or a friend, to sit beside you. Waiting with Sparkly and Kitty and Olive Once I was able to stop waiting.... yay and visit my Love, he requested to see Olive... Remembering the fun and sweet times with Olive.  It's Cold in Here and remembering how Olive stayed warm with Hugs and her Soft Bear Blanket - Bear Hugs!!!  Olive on a Cold Winter Day staying Warm with her soft ,Bear Blanket Gifted to her by her Grandfather

Well, there always seems to be a lot of Christmas Decorations and seems like the most time consuming to put them away. Next Holiday: Valentine's Day, at least for my family. Thanks to the Denbina's for helping me re-decorate the house!  Now I'm ready for our annual Valentine Tea Party! House is decorated for Valentine's Day Dinner and Tea Party with help from Team Denbina. Me and my granddaughter usually make homemade heart cakes for our tea party.  Decorating Homemade Heart Cakes!  Now I'm getting excited for Valentine's Day! 

 Happy New Year! 2024 is Here! This year my goal for myself is to be Joyous. To Have Joy! This will be difficult for me since life has been difficult lately, especially with what my Doctor told me and having a not so ideal family situation.  But, I am so glad to be alive! Hopefully, finding Joy in my life will help me life another year! And if not will at least I went with Joy! in my heart! Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Cheer Olive, Cheer! Go Olive, Go! Competitive Cheer is not like your normal sideline cheerleaders cheering on football or basketball players, but it's more tumbling, flipping, pyramids and throwing cheerleaders in the air. And cheerleaders are Heavy! Even the small, skinny ones! I've been suffering from the consequences of a hernia and the consequences of hernia repair for all of my adult life. And it's been a medical nightmare for me. My Daughter, has suffered from a different type of weight lifting injury in the form of a cartilage tear. I enjoy spending time with my granddaughter but dislike her acting like a male cheerleader and lifting other humans.  Olive Lifting Another Skinny but Heavy Cheerleader Love you Olive, but not always loving your choices.  Great job this weekend and it was a joy to see you compete. Praying that you don't injure yourself like all the other women in the family. Cheer Olive, Cheer! Go Olive, Go! Cheering for Olivia Denbina!    Nice P...
