Everything transferred!

So, now, everything is transferred from my other domain. There's been a lot that I have not written about in about the last year. Adventures, transitions and grand baby's! Yes, in the time since I've updated, I have had the news that ALL my children are making me a gramma in the same year!

Here is a picture of Cash, with his mom, a pretty recent picture:


Cash was born on 11-5-14, he was over a month early. Here's a collage his mom made for his birth:


I haven't met Cash yet, but am very excited to. They have been in Germany for the last few years, but they are back in Washington state now, and it feels SO GOOD to be in the same time zone as my son again!

This, is Vera Lynn:


She was born on March 6th, and she is my other son, David's daughter! She lives with me, so I get to spoil this baby all the time. Here's the Easter Dress:


And here's one that was bought at the same time as the Easter Dress:


And finally, here's Brianna, my baby girl, who is due in July. This is her at 31 weeks:


There's something uniquely satisfying, entertaining, heart-warming, about seeing my children have children of their own. I am immensely relieved to no longer be in that place, but satisfied that I can be a help, but not carry the entire responsibility.

I am getting ALL THE BABIES!! It's crazy how many people are pregnant or having babies right now!

First update without the other blog....will update more. There are things like my recent trips, to Costa Rica and Madison, Wisconsin to post about, yay!

For now, 

~Peace

Times, they are a changing....

So, it's been forever since I posted here. For a few years, I had another blog, on my "own" domain, and I would update there once or twice a year, not often enough. Thing is, I've been paying for this service, and it's a cool service, but a long time ago, this service offered "lifetime web hosting". Now, I was skeptical, but truth be told, it was only $299 and I figured if we got five years out of it, we would have gotten more than our money's worth. It's been almost a decade and we are still there. When I made the arrangement, I told these folks that it was for a non-profit and said non-profit did not have a lot of money. They seemed eager to help. However, over the last year, it seems to me they've put this "free" or "lifetime" domain on the slowest, crappiest server there is. My paid for domain works great. You know that old saying about, "how you treat the person who can do nothing for you says a lot about your character"? That's kind of how I feel about this, and so I don't think I'm going to pay the domain registration this year. I am going to put my money elsewhere and not support a business that didn't do a great job of supporting me. Here's what I think of that:
Now, funny thing, this picture was actually taken to signify my reaction to drinking this "super greens" drink you see beside me. While I am sure it was super good for me, the taste was a little less than palatable. Ha. So, the point of all this is that I think I am going to migrate all the old posts over and put them here. This is free, it's still here, and not giving my money to someone who doesn't deserve it. That's it. Peace out!
