I AM BACK - Part One

Hello everyone!

It sure has been a long time since I've been on here.

Just want to let you all know that I'm still alive.

I have missed blogging,

and don't know why I stopped.

I really do want to get back into it, so.....

just bear with me a bit....

I will try to catch you up on what's been happening

since my vacation to Myrtle Beach in July of 2010....

if I can remember.

On July 20, 2010,
I joined Weight Watchers.
I have lost a total of 36.5 lbs.
 I have a long way to go to get
to where I should be.

This is so hard for me....
I like to eat.
I attend a meeting every Tuesday morning,
weighing in before the meeting....
it is not always good......the weigh in, that is.
The meetings are always good.
My leader is a wonderful Christian lady,
who is very enthusiastic,
and always giving thanks to God
for helping her with her weight loss,
having lost 96 lbs. and maintaining
for 7 years.


OK, now I will move on up to
August 29, 2010.

I became a great-grandma.....again.

Little Ava Faith Shaffer was born.

I will always remember her birthday because

it was on August 29, 1976

that I was born-again.

Here she is as I first saw her.

She was a tiny thing,

only 4 lbs. 13 oz. and 17 in.

Here is a more recent picture,
with her great Pa Pa Holley.

 She is such a sweet baby....
always smiling.

Lily will be 2 yrs old on March 16th.
They are both such a joy.

My daughter, Tania, who is their ma ma,
reminds me of myself.
She usually keeps them on weekends
just like I did their daddy when he was a baby
and growing up.

Well, that is a start on my catching up.
I will be working on more to come
with Part Two.

In the meantime, I will be catching up
on you guys by visiting your blogs.

Back soon.
