Global Warming for Perrysburg??

I see it's cold in KS. It's 9:45 pm here and it is raining and 55 degrees! Hey where's winter?? We are supposed to get a little bit of snow for the next three days but at 55 that is a hard one to believe. I got called into work early today so worked 11 hours. Every one has a stomach bug at work. I'm just finally getting over the sore throat bug so really don't want another. My duckie in my tea cup was a real hit at work today! I love it. I managed to get two Christmas boxes in the mail this am before work. One to Brandi and one to Uncle Mike's house. NO PEEKING!! Have a great week everybody. Love ya lots. Grandma Bev

Cold

Today has truly been the coldest day we have had, it is just started getting cold when the sun went down. The wind is what is really giving a chill. Ruben and I had a great break, although he has worked everyday, even Thanksgiving so it was really nice to Mom and Dad here for the weekend. We had a great Dinner the kids enjoyed it so much and dinner was so good we tried a new sweet potato recipe it was so good. We also did our traditional putting up the tree the day after with wings and pizza, so good also. Its so fun puttin gup th tree when you have some help other than six sets of helping hands, Mom and Dad are so good at putting it up. We got to listen to alittle bit of Christmas music Charlie Brown Christmas and some Casting Crown that I have been dying to get out. Phyllis and her sister came to visit and we got to shower her with gifts she was so greatful. Thanks everyone for sending gifts. Jon called that night to so we got to here from him. He's off the boat and packing up to get ready to come home. We can't wait for him to be home and safe. I will have my first niece here on Thursday. I can;t wait to be an Aunt. Jensen has her 4 month check up this week and shots, and we are enjoying extra time with mom, she decided to stay for a while. Yea!!!

Love you all Hope you have a great week. Brandi

1stSunday of Advent!

Wow can you believe its that time of year already? You got me beat Sandi. My tree is still in the box! I agree J its cold. I hung plastic on windows last week and gave in and put up the "cave" curtains in the living room last night. My heat works, just want to keep the wind out. Today in church we heard the story of Zachariah. I bet those 9months of silence were strange in that house. 500 years since God had sent and angel to talk to man and then shuts his ears and mouth up. I find it a bit ha ha funny. Old man cant brag tell anyone about anything.... God is so good. Have a great week. Love ya Gram Bev

Sunday Thanks-NY

Dear Lord thank you for long weekends with family and no work or school!
Sandi

Hello

Happy Thanksgiving late from me and Amy. I hope everyone had a good one, we had a good time with Amy's family. We got a little snow here on a Friday morning but it was gone by the afternoon. I hope we get some more, but not till someone comes and fixes the heat at our apartment, it is freeeeezing. Last night I went and bought a log for the fireplace. I opened the chimney but for some reason all the smoke start filling up and set the smoke alarm off so i had to put the fire out and then I couldn't get the smoke alarm to shut up.......eventually it stopped but nothing was warming up the house either.
I've decided to stop working at the mission for various reasons, and am looking forward to the new directions God is going to open up. I'm continuing to work at Starbucks and hoping to see my wife more often also.
I love you all have a good Sunday and hopefully we will see some more Fitzmagic over the Steelers it's on tv here today : )

and please..........will someone beat Uncle Mike already

Its Begining to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

We received a great Thanksgiving surprise! 4-5 inches of snow , with no school or work to go to!

Love ya

Sandi

Great Day!

The weather has been great here! Today it is in the 70's. Yesterday was about the same so Phil and I went hiking at Natural Bridge. It was so nice. I took my camera and couldn't wait to get some great pics, but, I forgot to put the card back in it, so all I had was my phone. We still got some fun ones. It took us about an hour and to hike up to the top of the bridge, we sat for awhile and then started down, it was pretty quiet, not many people there. My legs are hurting a little today. I need to get some work done in the house, we have company tomorrow and we're leaving for KS on Wed. Can't wait to get there! Except I'm not looking forward to the cold, the high on Thanksgiving is supposed to be 31! Burrrrrr! Hope you all have a great day!

Thanksgiving week!

Wow! I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week already! My plan is to stay out of the stores all week. Hopefully I picked up everything we need, and if I didn't, we'll do without. Wes is taking the little boys hunting with him this year for Thanksgiving. Well have a great day! Its 60 here and raining. I'll take it! way better than 30s.
Love ya
Sandi

Sunday Thanks from Gram

I'm thankful for quiet Sundays at home. I'm still drinking tea and chicken soup and wishing I could stop coughing my brains out. Any good remedies? I am going to Sandies for B Day cake today but other than that will be thankful for my warm blankie and pillows. If I sound discouraged I am I have so much to do and no comption to go along. But this too shall pass.
Love ya Gram Bev

Sunday Morning Thanks from Michigan

I am thankful for stories like these:

Debra asked Daaron what he wanted for thanksgiving dinner. He said, "The hot and spicy potato chips were pretty good!" Debra responded "That's not very thanksgivingy." To which Daaron quickly yelled back, very seriously "Not thanksgivingy?! They're red! They can go right next to the cranberries." Debra thought she'd try again and said "That's fine, we can get some hot and spicy potato chips, but what would you like to go with thanksgiving dinner?" Not to be discouraged from his original plan, Daaron said "Cheese Puffs. They're also orange, nice and "fall-y". They can go next to the pickled pumpkin." So they had thanksgiving day figured out and Debra went on to plan for the rest of the week. "Daaron, what else do you want for lunch and dinner?" He replied "Pork". "That's wonderful," Debra thought. "We have a pork tenderloin in the freezer." She should have stopped when she was ahead but she had to ask the question. "Ok, great", she said "What do you want to go with it." "Salt and Pepper" he quickly replied.

I love stories like this. Then there's this one:

Aunt Sandi's package arrived last night and we found the Dreidle game. So Daaron and I are playing it using pennies and he's kicking my butt. He looks up at me and says "I'm pretty good at Dreidel Poker."

Have a great day!!! Love you all.
Mike

Gram's Friday

I had a nice birthday and lots of cards, phone calls and messages. Thank you all! Today I finally took a sick day and pretty much stayed in bed, slept drank tea and ate chicken soup. I feel much better and plan on working tomorrow. Hope you all have a great weekend. Love Gram Bev

Finally Friday!

This is a little late but I was going to write something about what Tami said on Tuesday. She said " I want to hold onto fall as long as I can." I found a quote that is exactly how I feel about this time of year. "Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."-George Elliot
Well its finally Friday and everyone is happy about that. Next week is a nice short one for school and work. Everyone has plans for this weekend. Alyssa is going to NYC for the weekend, she even skipped school today. Ian and Lyle are excited that they get to go play the new call of duty with Dan this afternoon , and then they have a dance to go to tonight. Those two love to dance! Cam has to work tomorrow. Were having cake for grandmas birthday Sunday. If shes feeling better. Then were going to the movies Sunday afternoon. Wes and I have the evening to ourselves, and Geri just had surgery yesterday so we get to go on the romantic hospital visit tonight! Well have a great weekend .
Love ya
Sandi

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hope you have a great day!
Love ya!

Early Tues

It's cold this morning. Yesterday was our first cold day, last week was in the 70's. I had to get some pics of the beautiful colors before the rain starts and everything gets gloomy. I just want to hold on to Fall as long as I can!

Phil gets up at 5am for work, usually I sleep until 8. This morning I am wide awake. I've gotten a lot done, paid bills, dishes are done, dinner is taken care of, I know what snack I'm making for life group tonight. I've sent out a few messages I needed to take care of. It feels pretty good. I'm ready to go to the gym, but my trainer doesn't arrive til 9, sooo . . . what to do now? It's too early to make the phone calls I need to make, the library isn't open, maybe I will watch the news.

Brandi's computer isn't working so she asked me to let you all know that we are having a baby shower for Phyllis Thanksgiving weekend. I wish you could all be there! If you'd like to send a gift you can send it to Brandi's. Phyllis is registered at Babies r us and Target. The Dr. told her last week that this little girl should arrive within 2 weeks! I hope so, because that means she will be here while Phil and I are in KS. I'm trying to think of some little thing I can send to Jon so he can celebrate too, any idea's? Hope you all have a great day!

Thankful Perrysburg Gram

I'm thankful to be able to talk to all of my grown up kids today. I shopped with Sandi, Talked to Tami ,Phil,Mike and Brandi.Ashley and Dan. That makes me pretty happy. I'm trying to work up the ambition to put the plastic and winter curtains up tomorrow. YuK cave time. It will make it warmer and I need that cause my nose is cold tonight. I enjoyed the dinner theater Friday night and have a couple interesting evenings out set up for next week so I guess things are pretty good here. Thanking God today for Sunday School class that reminds us that God can be trusted. Don't know why I need to be reminded but I do. Love you all. Gram Bev

Sunday Thanks-MI

Well, I'm glad I read the most recent posts before I wrote this one. It fits right in. Sandi, tell Ian and Lyle not to shoot any flying squirrels, they just might hit their cousin. Wednesday Daaron's science teacher brought in a flying squirrel. Daaron was so excited. That night, Debra was woken up by a loud thump! Heading out to the living room she found Daaron leaping off the back of the couch. He had piled up all the cushions and pillows so that he was quite high up. He had one of his blankets tucked into his toes and then pulled up around him so he could have the skin flaps that flying squirrels had so he could glide across the living room. He's convinced he can make it work because he felt the air tug at his homemade flaps. He just thought he needed to be higher, like the balcony, so that he could glide to the other side of the house. We are thankful Debra woke up! Daaron just told me he's not. He would be, though, with a broken leg or arm! Now he's waiting for snow to pile up so he can try jumping off the railing of our porch and gliding into the trees at the bottom of the hill. We'll keep you all informed on how that goes.

Yesterday was another beautiful day and we visited the town of Tecumseh. It had a holiday open house and all the down town businesses were open all day as well as the little museum. Tecumseh is the first settlement in Lenawee county. It has a bunch of unique businesses on its downtown main street. We went to a British Tea Company, a little shop where they make goat cheese and many other products, we went to the largest individually owned lazy boy dealer, and, mine and Daarons favorite, the Hobby Shop. Wow!!! It was awesome walking in there. I'm sure we'll be going back. Its really a very cool town. Its not real big, probably a little smaller than Springville, but it is a great place. I'm hoping there will be a job opening there next year.

Anyway, we are thankful for learning and growing and experiencing all that God has put around us. Have a great Sunday, looks like a cold one here.
Mike, Debra, and Daaron.

Sunday Thanks -NY

I'm thankful that my kids can grow up on the reservation. Ian got to go hunting for raccoon with Wes and the guys last night they were out till 2:30 am. He was so excited when he got home, they got 9 raccoon and Ian himself found 3 of them. Wes' friend Bernie hunts raccoons and sells the fur , he also does a lot of trapping , something I'm hoping Ian and Lyle will be able to learn. Its not a bad little money making business when all else fails. I'm glad that the kids can explore, and learn the natural reasons for doing things, and when. Our house is in the perfect location ( there maybe structural and appearance problems with it but), the kids have the freedom to roam without too much fear, or fencing, and we still are in walking distance to town and school.
Another thing I am thankful for today is the amount of faith my family has in my God given talents. Yesterday a friend called and invited the boys to a birthday party. They were gonna pick them up in 30 minutes. Ten minutes later Wes comes in and says can you come up with a birthday present for the party? A present, wrapping, and a card in 20 min? Sure no problem! Sometimes it really irritates me that they depend so much on me, but other times I feel so blessed that they know they can depend on me. Thank you God for giving me the talents you have given me and the opportunity to use them daily.
Have a great Sunday.
Love ya
Sandi

November project

I haven't seen that anyone has come up with a project for November yet, and Ash and I were talking the other day that we should write up our favorite thanksgiving verse, poem , song or phrase and send those this month. Is that ok?
Sandi

So cute!

Ian and Lyles new adventure is to sit out behind the house with their bb guns and shoot the mice when they come out of the holes. This past time I like a lot better than when they wanted to shoot the chickadee's that are in my garden. They shot 6 mice in the past 2 days. The only thing I don't like about it is that they have their trophies lined up on the back step. They also went back to the trout creek today on the 4 wheeler with their guns, homemade spears, a sack of snacks and a water bottle. They're so cute!
Sandi

Nice!

Another 60 degree beautiful sunny day ! There are baked beans in the crock pot, granola, and pumpkin bread cooking in the roaster. The laundry is hanging on the line. What a great day!
Have a fun weekend
Love ya
Sandi

Wow

Wow! 65 degrees and sunny in November, in Ny!!
I spent most of my day on the road. Grocery shopping this morning. The kids got out of school at 10:20 today, then I had teacher conferences. Then I ran out to Houghton to pick Timmy up for the weekend. Have a fun one!
Love ya Sandi

Brandi

Tonight I am going with church group to Mayville to a Christian dinner theater sounded like something different and the weather is good soo here I go.Please pray for me to be able to get up for work tomorrow!!! Have a great day Love ya Gram Bev

Its Gonna Be Interesting

Well, for the most part, I tend to like to prepare for things ahead of time. My Thanksgiving turkey has been in my freezer for months, also my squash, pies and breads are in moms freezer. All the birthday and holiday cards for this whole year were made in February. Anyways, somehow I forgot that today is a holiday and the bank is closed ,so I cant cash Wes check so I cant go grocery shopping, and the kids are home from school. The kids of course were up by 7? So I told them our exciting challenge for the day was to come up with interesting recipes with what we have in the cupboard, fridge and freezer. Lets just say, they were less than trilled. They were actually almost in tears. Here is a list of what we have, maybe you can help us come up with some good recipes for breakfast, lunch , dinner and 2 snacks for 6:
CUPBOARD: sugar , flour, crackers, tea, coffee, cornmeal. dry Lima beans, instant potatoes, macaroni, bread crumbs, rice, cocoa, corn syrup, cornstarch, onion soup mix, salt , pepper, chicken bouillon, beef bouillon, popcorn, baking powder, can of carrots, spices, powdered eggs, pumpkin seeds
FREEZER: salsa, zucchini, spaghetti squash, acorn squash, pumpkin, raspberries, wild onions, cooked mixed beans
FRIDGE: 2 rolls , 5 slices bread, caramel apple dip, apple cider vinegar, mayo, chocolate syrup, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 3 meatloaf patties, 1/2 c brown gravy, minced garlic, candy corn and pumpkin spice Hershey kisses
(way more than what I had to work with when Alyssa was just a baby-canned spinach, corn meal, flour, cinnamon , sugar, and powdered milk -I had 6 to cook for then also- We had corn meal mush, cereal made with flour dough sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar with milk, cooked spinach and 10 cent Popsicles from the store down the road ,melted and used for flavoring in water. That was for more than 1 day too. Ashley still loves corn meal mush!)
I'm working on my list of meals, what can you come up with?
Have a great day
Love
Sandi

Wednesday Smile

It's warm and sunny here again today, suppose to be near 70 all week! It's date night and Phil called to say that we are not going out to dinner but I do not have to cook? He's taking care of dinner. I assume that means he's cooking, yay! I did make some pumpkin banana chocolate chip muffins today, the house smells so good and they are sooo yummy, not to high in fat or calories either! What's not to smile about?

Good Monday

It is another beautiful late fall day. The sun has been shining all day. I'm thankful for daughters to talk to and visit with. Sandi and I enjoyed the reopened diner and it really looks nice and their prices are not bad now if they get a little heat in there it will be nice!! I had an hour and a half in the dentist chair again today and I must say he is really good. Only one visit left in two weeks. I've done some Christmas shopping by phone today and am still searching for one that I bought several weeks ago. "First the teeth now the mind Nobody told me they all go at once. I hope you found something good today while your shopping Tam. Our Gowanda Pharmacy has sold out to Rite Aide so I'm a bit sad about that. I don't do change very well. I hate to see some of the old ways passing. Hope you all are able to enjoy a bit of you day!! Get well soon Jensen. Love ya Gram Bev

Guilty

Wow, i really feel guilty writing my post after reading all that Brandi is doing! But kids grow so fast and things change so rapidly that Brandi will soon have days like mine. So this is what you can look forward to Brandi. After I took the kids to school this morning I went to breakfast with Grandma at the new reopened Perrysburg diner. Then we went back to Grandmas house and looked through her stacks of new sales catalogs fun! Then I went home to finish my chores before I have to start picking up kids. Were having pancakes for dinner and Ashley always comes over on Monday nights to watch Dancing with the Stars. Have a great day.
Love
Sandi

Silly

Well it has been a week, a couple trips to the doctor because Jensen had bronchitis, they did a few deep suctions to help clear her out. Work wa a little wild I had lost two studnts to am classes and gained another, who is totally wild and doesnt really fit in with my class of shy students, so i have to figure out a way to regroup them and bring them together, they are all almost five if not already, but there maturity levels are way differnt.

Avon was thought to be doing well I got really psyched up about this high sale order which turned out to be a girl scamming me, she sent me a check for 2800 dollars and wanted me to western union her the money , crazy so now I am stuck with this huge amount o money in my account froma freud check untill it clears, its not a good feeling. I also have been sort of scared of the computer like something bad could really happen from this. I am just afraid that I amy have upset the wrong person, so needless to say that has added alittle stress and the reason I really havent blgged this week.

The kids are doing great, Gwen has Potty Power now and is in big girl underwear and without a binky she s is growing up sofast and changing everyday.

Ruben is growing also loving to be able to carry his baby sister and just so proud that he a my biggest helper.

Addi also is doing well, we tried to have pictures done but she cried and cied until she fell asleep she was so upset.

Jensen is growing like a weed and changing rapidly its hard to say who she looks most like right now.

Thank God Ruben has been working to help us catch up on some bills but I sure do miss having him home onthe weekends I have been so spoiled this past year, with him coming home early. Its hard to adjust form me and the kids.

Tonite we had a birthday party for Tio Tito the Uncle. He is 25!!! We celebrated with a pink cake and Mole, which if you dont know what it it is, well its delicious and I made a huge mess, my blender exploded while I was mixing the ingredients and they went flying all over my kitchen and floor I cried.

So its been a busy day and I am more than ready for bed

Happy Birthday to all you handsome Warrior boys, and Happy Annivesary To J and Amy.!!!

Love you all

Brandi

Sunday thanks-NY

I'm thankful for this beautiful sunny fall day! We didn't get the snow we were hoping for ,but that's ok we have some things to get done before that happens. We did get 3 cord of wood stacked today and the lawn mower and bikes put away. Its been a very quiet day, Ian and Alyssa went with Dan and Ashley for the day, and Lyle and Wes went to a sportsman's show. Cameron hung out with Angel, so its been just me most of the day. I warmed up leftover pork chops and stuffing that Geri sent over yesterday , so I'm very thankful that I don't have to make dinner.(Although Lyle just took down a very large grey squirrel, and if he can talk his dad into helping him skin it , I suppose I'll have to cook some sort of squirrel dish tonight.)
Sounds like everyone is doing great!!
Happy Anniversary J and Amy!!!
Love ya
Sandi

Sunny Sunday!

It has been a beautiful sunny Sunday in Perrysburg. I had my day all planned I would sleep in and go to Sunday School and the Late worship service. I did sleep in, got up putzed around a bit got dressed for Sunday School and then realized I hadn't turned the clocks back soo went to the early service as usual. Doesn't it say somewhere in the Bible we shouldn't say I'll do this and I'll go there without checkin with God first? Guess he wanted me in that first service. I'm glad hes in control of my days. It is cool and brisk here even had snow in Catt. yesterday. It is so nice to have fall weather!! Especially when the sun is shining. Happy Anniversary Amy and Jay!!

Love you all Gram Bev

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Happy Anniversary J and Amy!!! It is a happy day for me. I'm happy for J and Amy, it's been so fun to watch them do their first year of marriage! I got a note from Jon, yesterday and he has been promoted again, he is now Corporal Jonathan LeRoy, so I'm happy for him. I'm going to see Brandi, Ruben and my Grand kids in 16 days!!!!! I'm going to see Phyllis while I am in KS and rumor says there is a very good possibility that I will get to see that grand baby while I am there too! Happy Happy Day!!!!!!!!

happy sunday!

Its Friday!!

Well, I did get to go have cheesecake with Geri today. I also got to do some of the things I wanted to do today. I made some cards and got most of my squash cooked up and put in the freezer. Tonight Ian, Alyssa, and Cameron will be going to Ashley and Dans to get ready for their quizzing tournament. So it will just be Lyle , Wes and I all night and all day tomorrow. Lyle has a smoke dance competition tomorrow , but hes getting a little nervous and I don't know if he'll actually go. Ians been home for two days with a sore throat and headache but he is feeling much better this afternoon. Alyssa and Lyle are watching Iron Man right now and Cam and Angel are watching Toy Story 3. I'm enjoying getting reacquainted with my wood stove and am currently doing 100% of my clothes drying , heating and tea making with it and about 70% of my cooking. I have to remember to use it more for cooking.
Well have a good weekend. Stay warm. Were supposed to get 2 inches of snow.
Love ya
Sandi

Thurs. prayer, Fri.

This week has gotten away from me. Yesterday I was listening to Air-1, and a woman came on and said, it's ok to ask God for things when we pray. That wasn't news to me, sometimes I feel like I ask all the time. At that particular moment I was thinking about Jon and Phyllis, and that their baby will be here in just a few weeks. My thought at the moment was that IF I was going to ask God for something it would be that Jon would be with Phyllis when their baby is born. So, that's my prayer. I'm asking that God would allow Jon & Phyllis be together when their baby is born. I know that God can do it, I'm not sure that He will, but that's ok. I'm asking.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY NEPHEWS!!!!!!! Yes, I'm late with presents again, but they are on the way! Hope you have a great day, Cam and Ian.

Thursday Prayer-NY

My prayer today is one of thanks for the safe travels we've had the last couple days and the good safe time the boys had last night. It seems like I've been driving for the most part of the last two days. Tomorrow is finally a free day with no running around there are some things Id like to get done, but Geri wants me to come over for cheese cake so maybe nothing will get done, and that's fine. I'm tired now and really looking forward to bed tonight.
love ya
Sandi

Wed. Smile -NY

The boys are gone to the Sabres game. It makes me smile that they can do that, also that I didn't have to take them! The girls and I are watching girl movies, eating snacks and drinking tea. Big smile!

Wednesday @ Grams

It has been a beautiful sunny crisp fall day here. Work was great I was glad to get back there today. I got tons of great catalogs in the mail at home today almost as fun as Mrs. Gleasons mail box used to be! Just thanking God; just because. Have a geat day tomorrow. Love Gram Bev

Wed. Smile - KY

It's Wednesday, and it's Date Night! I don't know what we are doing, but just knowing that it is, makes me smile!

Brrrr!

It was 24 degrees here when I took the kids to school at 730 this morning. I'm so glad we have the wood stove its so nice and cozy in the house. Its a good thing that I have kids though because I would probably stay in bed under the covers all day if I didn't have to run around for them. Were taking Cameron cd shopping this afternoon, some new one are coming out today, and then were having cake and gifts for Dakota Cam and Ian tonight. I have to pick up Tim tomorrow and all the boys are going to the Sabres game tomorrow night. Hopefully they can get a win at home.
Well have a good day and stay warm
Love ya Sandi

Nov. 1st Already!!

This day has been nice but very cold. Stephanie, Aunt Shellie and Uncle Jim were here almost all day. We did some shopping laundry and changed a light bulb in grandmas bedroom ceilin light. That was interesting since the whole fixture decided to fall apart but Jim.Shelly and I managed to finally get it fastened up to the ceiling again. Then Shelly went to work and Gram, Uncle Jim and Aunt Lind went to Olive Garden to have birthday dinner for Great Gram T. I'm enjoying my visit and will be on my way home Tuesday in time to vote. Love the pictures Brandi. I'm praying your household gets healthy real fast. Love ya Gram Bev

Wow

Cathchin Up I was only gone for two weeks and missed almost 30 posts. Crazy and Amazing so nice that we have this.

We have been sick all of us except Ruben. I thought we were done but jensen went tothe doctors and has fluid behind her ears, and Bronchitis. They were able to do a deep suctioning which is awful to watch but I can tell she feels so much better. She finally ate today arounf 5:00. She went more that 12 hours without eating.

Then Gwen threw up and has a fever of over 103, so I had to run to the store and get her something to soothe her tummy.

I made a great dinner some meatball soup and corn bread. I like it not sure if anyone else really did. I got my soup recipes to go to the mail, but I dont have Uncle Mikes Address, it seams I always loose this one once I get my hands on it.

Well we are off to bed, we'll see what tomorrow holds for us.

What Next for November, who has an idea?

Love you all

Brandi
