BFF
.Here's a sunrise pix in my backyard! I love to see the sunrise b/c the sun reflects on the water ! I really love living on this lake---we see so many cool things! GEESE! HAHA! This pix was made on my BIRTHDAY last week---it was like God got me up (He used Buddy to get me out of bed b/c he had to go out! HAHA) and when I walked into the sunroom this is what I saw! AMAZING!....I posted some pix of the two BEST FRIENDS (and BEST COUSINS) ever! Kemp and Lily! They ADORE each other! Beg for me to go get their best buddy when one is here and the other isn't. Yesterday when I picked up Lily from PlaySchool I asked her if she had fun on her week-end trip to Mexico Beach . She said, "Yes, but I missed Kemper"! NOT I missed YOU, GranJan! HAHA! And, when she went with us to Cahaba Heights UMC the other week she ran over and got a big cookie and broke it down the middle for KEMP and said, "Here's you a cookie, Kemp!" (She's so generous, just like her daddy!). Kemp is the same about her! He spent a night last week and when he walked in he said, "Can Lily come over?" They are just so GOOD together and play and play and PLAY. Gone, (for the most part!), are the days when they would fight over toys. Now they are little angels and just ADORE being together!!........I'm getting a little nervous about the coming week I have before mentioned! Still "keeping a lid on it" for a few more days until I make sure it's gonna happen. If it doesn't, well, don't ask me! HAHAHA! I'm nervous about the "event" (yes, I'll give you that, it's an EVENT), and yet excited, too. Just lots of stuff going into it. Not me planning it, other people. You'll just have to STAY TUNED to see what the HECK I'm referring to! HAHAHAHA! Don't you LOVE secrets that you don't know? HA!

Swimming at O O
We tried to cool off yesterday at Old Overton! I never did cool off b/c I didn't get wet! I decided to just sit under the fans and try and stay cool and make pictures. Didn't work! TOO HOT! I should've just put on the ole bathing suit and gotten in, but I didn't--I just complained. So, I sat there and sweated and was miserable. But, according to the girls, it was even hot in the water! HOT DAY in the ole 'HAM! Next time I go I'll make sure to put on my bathing suit or else melt away like the wicked witch!
P.S. Yes, I know I've mentioned some exciting news to come in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned. You might be shocked like I was! HAHAHAHAHAHA! (that should whet your appetite!)

AWESOME BIRTHDAY GIFT!
Yesterday I got a huge surprise in the mail! A HUGE box was waiting for me after Katie and I got home from Nat's. I couldn't WAIT to open it because Becky (the SENDER!) sends the MOST wonderful gifts in the mail to me! How lucky am I to have HER for a friend? She sends stuff , not just to ME, but to my GRANDKIDS, too! She is soooo precious! She sent me this poem with the gift:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE BIRTHDAY BUDDY! (her b'day is July 16)
"What do I give to Jan who gives so much of herself to everyone she meets?
What do I give to Jan who is so wonderfully sweet?
What do I give to Jan who seems to have it all??
What do I give to Jan who , with her house full of grankds always has a ball?
I think this ranks as your strangest birthday gift I've ever seen.....
But I think the next SLEEPOVER Lily and Kemp will think GranJan is really KEEN!!!"
GUESS WHAT I GOT????? Not one, but TWO inflatable INFLATABEDS! One for a BOY (with crocs!) and one for a GIRL (with flowers!). Oh my goodness they are ADORABLE! AND, come with a foot pump too!!!!!
Aren't I LUCKY to have such a dear friend???
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, TOO, BECKY! I LOVE YOU!
P.S. one more annoying clip of me on my b'day!

More SHORT clips!
More Pensacola and Pat!
Here are some still shots of our first few minutes with Patrick! We decided that Kemp had been in the car long enough and needed to get OUTSIDE! So, when we stopped at the Tourist Center to find directions to our motel, we saw it was on the bayside so we decided to let Kemp FISH with PatPat (the previous pix). It was so much fun to just chill out and enjoy each other's company doing something that Pat and Kemp loved to do! After that, we went to the motel and after eating (we were STARVING and my home made bar-b-q sure tasted great!), B/N/K/P went SWIMMING (I made pix and played with sweet Daisy cakes)! Brad is so easy going and loves to just do things "on the fly" , that being with them was just a fun time of laughter and "anything goes" so we just did our own thing. It was great. More pix later!

Just some SHORT clips!
I'm ANNOYED that AOL won't let me add longer clips from this past week-end! Oh well, at least you can see a bit of Patrick (and the rest of the group!). Here are a few more pix from July 4th as well as some random video! haha

What a wonderful JULY 4th!
We had the best time ever last week-end in Pensacola!!! Brad and Kemp drove Patrick's truck down and Daisy, Natalie and I drove her car. We got there so fast and I had packed all my great food for the 4th of July celebration dinner and it was just delicious! It was GREAT being with Patrick and he soooo enjoyed being with Nat/Brad and especially HIS babies! Kemp was beside himself having PatPat there and Daisy REMEMBERED her sweet Uncle PatPat! She gave him the BIGGEST smile when he walked up and she held out those chubby little arms to him and it brought tears to my eyes! It was a wonderful reunion, that's for sure ! I have some short video clips to add to the page as well as pictures for the next SEVERAL days! (I made a TON of pix!). Here is just the first few HOURS of July 4th! HAHA

YIPEE! We're going to see PATRICK!
I may be more excited over going to see Patrick this week-end than when he graduated! WHY? Because we have more "down time" to spend with him this coming week-end and he can see his 2 of his favorites! Kemp and Daisy!! He just can't WAIT to see those two monkeys!!! Patrick lived in Nat/Brad's downstairs apt. for 2 years so he thinks those kids are HIS! And they love him, like another parent, too!!! Kemp is so excited, all he's talked about is seeing PATPAT and him going "crabbing with me". Oh, how he loves to be with PatPat!!!! I just can't wait to see him and spend time with him and just chill on the beach with him!! I miss him so much and miss hearing his LAUGH! As I always say, NOBODY has a laugh like Patrick! To hear him laugh is music to my ears! I hope to hear him laugh a LOT this week-end!!! I'm busy fixing foods Patrick loves , plus tradional July 4th stuff! Home made Bar-B-Q chicken/ home made potatoe salad/home made slaw/ HOME MADE cake/ BOUGHT cookies (haha)! you name it, I've got it ready to go!!!! Brad might kill me in the morning when he sees all this stuff to pack in the car! HAHA... Katie had a hard decision but decided to go see Patrick in a few weeks instead of this week-end. Katie ended up going to Auburn b/c Jon is going to buy a new car this week-end and she wanted HER input on what he is choosing! HA! So, maybe in a few weeks we'll go back, Jon/Katie and me !(yes, I'm ALWAYS going!). I told Michael today maybe they can ago for a week-end as well as Chaz/Rach and Powell even. But, the good thing is , that Patrick will be coming home before too long. Terry was in Jamaica last week-end and is going back next week-end so he's not going this time either. Just me and the HORNES.Brad is driving Pat's truck down so hopefully, when Patrick enters Phase 2 (or is it 3?), he can DRIVE HOME! Won't that be awesome?! Anyway, for now, just excited to pieces that I'll see my sweet Patrick TOMORROW! I CANNOT WAIT! God gave me a special surprise gift this week--my camera came back FIXED yesterday! I wasn't expecting it for another few days, was thinking I wouldn't have it for the trip, now I'm soooooo thrilled to have my BIG Canon working and I have a BIG mega Flash Card so I can make lots of pix this week-end!!!! I have been so frustrated (just ask my kids!) about my big EXPENSIVE Camera that hasn't worked right in over a year. I finally sucked it up and mailed it off, after getting over a thousand dollars in insurance on it. THey fixed it QUICKLY and I got it back YESTERDAY! WHOOPEE!! So, be watching out for some GREAT (I hope!) pix of some of my favorite people from this coming week-end!
HAPPY JULY 4th EVERYONE!!! (BTW, for those who are counting, 13 days from tomorrow is a ANOTHER great day! HAHAHAHA)
