3 Days overdue

Yesterday we went to the mountains. Was Octoberfest in Julian.
We walked the quaint streets, had a great lunch and then headed to
the new casino where we ended up playing shuffleboard and having cokes
and apple juice at the bar. I lost $40. Not sure what others lost.
3 days overdue and counting here.

Oct. 3

Still no grand daughter. Trip to my dad's was productive. He's 85 and really slowing down but still goes to work every single day of the week except Sundays. Always amazes me.

I can't wait to hold our new grand daughter when she decides to grace us with her presence. I just know I will cry with tears of joy and wish my mother could have been on this earth to experience this as well. She always wondered if she would ever be a great grandmother. *sigh*

October 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our granddaughter is Due Oct. 4, this Thursday, and I can't wait.
I have been OH so ready to be grandma since I was 44 and to enjoy what I have always lived for, family and MORE family. I realize I take nothing with me when I die, but hope to leave a legacy of good family ties behind when I go. Mom always said, "Keep the family together when I'm gone."She was ever so right. Now I just remember the promise I made and work on doing the best I can to do JUST that.

Tomorrow it is off to Dad's to help him with some banking and a medical checkup. I hope Iliana doesn't decide "it's time" while I am gone.
