Chuck, Chuck, Bo Buck!

Here I am. I haven't disappeared. I was in Arizona visiting my 5 month old Grandaughter, Bella.....oh....and my son and D.I.L. The weather was perfect. The company was good. Our Nephew and his love were there to see us also. Isabella was a joy. She is attached to the breast of her mother and has gone from a premmie to a little butterball. We had one day to ourselves and that was fun too. Time passed too quickly.

WARNING: Refrigerator Alert!  We arrived home to find our main refrigerator that had "been fixed" still not working properly. Our other refrigerator salad drawers had been taken back to their shop weeks ago and were still not fixed. Let's jump ahead shall we? Bob has turned into Chuck. At least Chuck as a good since of humor....at my expense! He came out and fixed my regular refrigerator again.....using a hairdryer!  Seems as though the freezer part of the refrigerator had an ice build up on it, thus affecting the refrigeration part. <<<sigh>>> OK, more money and a working refrig, right?  (OH, you optimists you!)  As soon as he was out of sight, the ice built up started again. Now I know it's my "mother board" and the "termaintor" (I will never forgive Ahnawld!) They are on order. Friday they delivered the refrig. drawers they have had and I must say, they are working now. They are working so well, they have tuned into freezers. <<<<sigh>>>  OK, Doc........YOU call them on Monday. I just can't bear it anymore. So much for Subzeros. See how boring I have become? My life has become a series of subzero mishaps. I even miss the bust bunnies than used to live under them. I think they are the reason they worked in the first place.

I want to talk a little bit about my nephew Dr. S. and his love C. I am so enormoulsy proud of him. He and his mate are made for each other. They compliment each other and they are such a joy to be around. Dr. S. is one of the best family physicians in the state of TEXAS and that is one big ass state! His love is so funny and makes me laugh. You know the kind of laugh that comes from your tummy?  Our time together passed much too quickly. I look forward to seeing them again soon. They gave me a present too. It's the most beautiful bracelet that I have ever seen. It's in silver and has many colors of green crystals. I will always treasure it and think of them when I wear it.

Doc and I got to go to a movie while in Arizona. We went to see Elizabethtown. We really enjoyed it and I loved the young girl who stars in this flick. She played in Spiderman and was Spidermans girlfriend. Orlando Bloom wasn't bad either. If you get a chance, I would recommend it. Actually there are many movies out now that we would like to see, but will have to wait until Xmas before seeing them and they probably will be gone before then.

My 4 yr old grandaughter will become 5 next Friday. I am sure we will have a grand celebration. My Kansas grandkids' mother has remarried and moved out of her house. I know where they live, but she hasn't bothered to inform my son or us. This is in violation of their divorce agreement. I could make a lot of trouble for her, but she is in enough trouble as it is. For NOW, all I will do is to continue to give love and support to my son and the kids, but she better watch her step. I am prepared to help my son take her to court if necessary. I used to worry about her taking them far away. (Her own mother did this to her when she was little, along with never telling her WHO her Dad was, but marrying another man. In fact her mother has been married so many times, we have lost count.) I think she knows that we would do whatever needs to be done in order for her to face the consequenses that she has created, if she makes another wrong move! I hope she can pull it all together for her kids sake. Oh, I forgot to add that she recently gave birth to her NOW husbands baby. Her NOW husband was a former employee of ours and decided that he REALLY liked my then daughter in law. He hasn't been married before but has a few kids of his own. I do NOT know how families survive anymore. I do know that Doc and I will always be here for our grandkids and that our son, who, since becoming divorced, has really become as awesome young man and parent.

That last paragraph has been on my mind for awhile and I just had to journal about it. I know between that and the refrigerator, I have bored you too death, but at least I feel a little better tonight. Thanks for letting me bitch!     Anne
