HAPPY NEW YEAR

I know I'm always a day late and a dollar short. I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe, fun-filled holiday. We did, even though I was in some pain from my treadmill accident. But all is well now. I have so many pictures to share from the Christmas holiday that I really need to find time to post. New Year's Eve we did the Cruise at Old Town in Kissimmee with Wade, Diana and Rossi. Layla was with her father in Tallahassee. The cruise ended around 10 and we were home and in bed before midnight. Wade has a "69 Chevelle that he takes out to the cruise sometimes and it's lots of fun. But anything done with family is usually tons of fun anyways. So here's to a great year for everyone. I am not making any resolutions this year, just gonna take life one day at a time. God has his plan for me and it doesn't matter if I make resolutions or not, God will guide me to where he wants me to be.

Grampy & Nana's Christmas Gift

Grampy and Nana decided that this year we are going to start trying to take care of our health. Too many issues this past year. I was fortunate enough to get this slightly used, almost new treadmill from a co-worker. I figure Grampy and I can watch out favorite shows while walking or listening to music and won't have to worry about it being to dark, too rainy, too cold or whatever other excuses we can come up with, lol. So here's to a hopefully much healthier year.

WHPD PROJECT REACHOUT

On Saturday, Dec. 17, Santa and Mrs. Claus helped the Winter Haven Police Department deliver toys to some very needy families. We delivered to 7 families.

The family in the above photo are in a very hard situation. Dad lost his job 2 /12 years ago. Mom works at 7-11. She was able to get Dad a job part time at 7-11. Well then 7-11 cut her hours and now her house in in forclosure and the bank is not willing to work with them. They will be moving after the first of the year. So sad.
One of the children we delivered to...in awe of Santa.

A group shot at the first house we delivered to. Top right hand side is DARE Officer Terry Bowden. He has been doing Project Reach Out since 1995. Officer Bowden gets names from the local schools for the families we deliver to every year. He then puts the children's names and the gifts they want on a wreath in the Police Station and the police officer's and their families purchase the gifts for the families. Project Reachout also supplies food for a Christmas meal for each family. Walmart also in the past 3 years has donated money towards the cause. This is one of our absolutely favorite events to do every year. And we will continue to do it for as long as we are able. Thank you WHPD for allowing us to take all the glory for your hard work.

Turkeys, turkeys, turkeys

There were 4 turkeys in the parking lot Sunday morning while I was at work.
One decided to walk right up to the vehicle. The following pictures were taken in the rearview mirror.
The turkey checking me out.She is pecking the rear bumper.
Looking for some more grub.Just making sure she didn't miss anything.She's done, so now she's leaving. I can't get over how unafraid she was of me or the vehicle. I stayed inside the vehicle because I wasn't sure if she would try to peck me or not. And I had to use the Security camera to take pictures because I forgot my camera at home.

Making Cookies

I just wanted to share this photo of Layla and Rossi making cookies. It's such a candid shot and it shows lots of love going into those cookies.
