From Here to There.....

or in our case - where it continues.  This week you get a couple personal posts.  That's correct - as you read this Paul and I will be moving to our new home and starting a new adventure in our lives as retired folks - lol!!  We're moving from this beautiful home in Southern California......

...to this amazing home in Prescott, Arizona.  We are sad that we are leaving our many friends, kids and grandkids in Cali - but ready for this new adventure together.  And trust me - we'll be back to visit as often as possible - and everyone here had better come visit us!!  We'll have a couple guest rooms - and of course a wonderful STAMPING parlor!

So - the old house is packed up and empty - everything is in the U-haul and the truck and away we go!! Watch for updates as we move and make this new house or new HOME! ~Maureen

Personal Post Monday - Paisley turns "12"

I really cannot believe it!  The day Paisley was born is still such a vivid memory for me - the day I became "Gramma" - my life has never been the same.  Here she is just minutes after she was born - such a cutie - she stole my heart immediately.

For the past several years my husband has had to work at his job during Paisley's birthday celebration.  But since we both recently retired - he promised we'd celebrate with her this year - so off to Arizona we went.   She wanted Red Robin for her birthday dinner - so that is what she got!   Here she is being a goofball -

 

 and here is Prince photo-bombing us -

Delivery of her birthday dessert -

 And being so cute (and a little shy) during the birthday singing -

We all had a great time - family, food, fun - celebrating her 12th birthday - now if I could just slow down this growing up thing a bit.  Not sure I'm ready for her to enter the teen years next year.  Paisley - we love you so much - thank you for being such a special and wonderful grand-daughter!!!  ~Gramma
