Welcome to another edition of Fly On The Wall group blog postings hosted by Karen of Baking In A Tornado. Today there are three of us inviting you into our homes to see what a nosy fly might see if he was buzzing around our houses.
The fly is still sweltering over here in sunny south Florida and Lucy, our RV, is in resting mode while we wait out the hurricane season. Thankfully, summer is winding down, and pretty soon we'll start seeing fall decorations (pumkin spice, here I come!). But I can't complain---the past few months have been fun for us. We've been hanging out with friends, neighbors, and family whenever we can and making the most of our time together.
But the best news is WE ARE EXPANDING OUR FAMILY!! My son Jared and his wife Kay are expecting another baby in February, and we are overjoyed! This will be grandbaby #5 for us. We have 2 girls and 2 boys.....what will this one be? I say keep 'em coming----one can never have too many grandbabies!
It's hard to believe that next week marks 13 years of blogging for me. Meno Mama has come a long way since that first blog post (and I'm pretty much over my menopause journey), but I thought you might get a kick out of reading that original blog posted on August 27, 2011. Here's the link: http://www.menopausalmom.com/2011/08/first-menopausal-moment.html
I'm using photos from this beastly hot month to show you what the nosy fly watched us do while we were sweating and running up our A/C bill (plus eating way too much Heath Bar rum cake for Mac's 68th birthday celebration!):

That's a wrap! Now go see what the fly has been up to at these houses:

Happy 13th blogoversary. Now is Mac going to bake you a cake?
ReplyDeleteHa! I wish! The only thing Mac knows how to cook is eggs or meat on the grill.
DeleteCongratulations on another grand baby and the thirteenth year of blogging! This is my twelfth. How fast time goes.
ReplyDeleteThank you and congrats on your 12 year blogging anniversary!
DeleteFirst of all: CONGRATULATIONS!!! Grandbabies are the best! If I'd know how much fun they are, I'd have had them first! ;) Glad you are able to ride out the scary weather. Stay safe! Also, congratulations on your anniversary! How far we've all come! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree---the grandkids are easier, haha!
DeleteI am so looking forward to Fall. This heat is just not for me. We reached 120F this Summer. No thank you. At least we don't have to deal with hurricanes though.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new grandbaby.
13 years of blogging. That's amazing, congrats.
Thanks! 120F sounds HORRIBLE. Yikes!
DeleteYour posts and blogs make me want to be your neighbor! I love how you savor all the good that life brings.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks! I believe that every day is a gift to be cherished.
DeleteGrandchildren are such a joy and blogging is such a stress relief for me
ReplyDeleteI love them both, too!
