~Meet My Great Grandson, Alex~

I would like you to meet my great grandson Alessandro

Joseph. Is he a cutie or what? Hes such a smiley happy

boy. Hes got 2 really great parents, my honeygirl Kelli

and her husband Jorge. Alex was born April 16.The day

before my youngest sons birthday which is April 17. So

Alex's special day will be remembered easily..Kelli has

already gone back to work, the way things are now,

both parents have to work. She works days and Jorge

works afternoons, so it works out really great for them..

They know if they need anything or help that dad and I

and her Papa too, we are all here for them..Kelli is

my boy Donnies only child, he has 2 step daughters

though, Nikki and Amber that each have children too..

They are all my honeygirls..Kelli is my Dolly...

Kelli is a very special girl..I had her since the day her

mom brought her out of the hospital..They came right to

my house and that's where Kelli was just about every

single day until I left, when Kelli was four..Sadly shortly

after I left, her mom was killed in a car accident. by then

I was in Niagara Falls, Canada, and I just couldn't come

back then, it wasn't safe.

When I would cook, I had a type of tall bench, light

to carry. When I was getting dinner ready Kelli would

watch every move I made, she would get that bench

and drag that thing all over the kitchen so she could

see what I was doing.. I explained everything I did..so

she could learn how to cook, mostly how to do it safely.

I had to be very aware where she was with that bench,

Kelli was in the process of dragging it up by me when I

suddenly turned, almost knocked her and the bench

over.. We learned..

As I was preparing dinner one night for her Papa, she got

her bench as soon as I told her "lets fix Papa some food".

She was ready and eager. She climbed up on that bench,

sat there by me, eyes wide open, watching every move

I made.. She looked up at me and put her little hand on

my arm and said "Gran, when I be big, I can be a good

cooker, just like you" I assured her she would be and she

is ! Shes very good at everything she does and we are all

very proud of her. Shes my Dolly, as I have called her

since they laid her in my arms I said "what a dolly", Ive

called her that and of course Honeygirl..which she is.. I

think you can tell this girl is very special to me.. :-)

Well for the 4th of July were no fireworks for me, it was a

very quiet day. Penny came but I told her to come in late

and she doesn't have to do much just really, take out the

trash.. Theres not really a lot for her to do.. I told her she

didn't have to come by but she is mainly to take out the

trash etc..Its hard to keep up if too many days go by..So

I appreciated that she did come by today.. I hope you

had a nice lazy day and a relaxing week end..after a long

week of work its needed..The 2 D's are off to the races.

Donnie being such a good mechanic hes in great need.

They will have fun tho and sure need the relaxing time..

I did have a wonderful surprise today tho. Mary, my dear

friend, your call was so very nice and I deeply appreciate

that you thought of me and phoned..how very nice.. You

will have many many stars in your crown my friend. :-)

Thank you Mary :-) Just made my day..

Well Penny has gone, I ate some fish and now Ive been

here my work is done for today..But it cant end until you

know what.. my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"...

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend"

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

until I write again .....
