A visit to Posh Spice's home....

Just a quick little post about our adventure on Saturday. After Santa Monica Pier, we went to Beverly Hills / BelAir and just toodled around. Alix just HAD to have one of them Map To The Stars map...so of course, grandpa being who he is, stopped and bought her one. Ok, ok, so are now the tourist, LOL.

Anyway, after about an hour of trying to find a bunch of places, she found a home that she just just loved, and HAD to have her picture taken at. Yes, the one and only - David & Victoria Beckhams's, aka POSH SPICE. She just HAD to have her picture taken at POSH SPICE's home.

So here she is....ON THE DRIVEWAY. LOL You will never guess where we are going to get a picture at next. Yep..you guess it. Johnny Depp's. What kind of grandmother will I be if I denied her? LOL

Bad blogger.....

BAD BLOGGER. Yep, that's me. It's not that I haven't had anything to write about, I have plenty, it's just that when I sit down to blog, I'm tired. Dead tired. So instead of blogging, I just click the little button that says sign off....and off to bed I go. I have to really discipline myself to sit and blog every day.

Last night was a bit exciting. We had a car chase through our neighborhood. It lasted for about 45 minutes. Helicopters overhead, police cars zooming down the streets. At one time, we counted 14 police cards chasing this one little white car. Seems he had drugs in the car, and didn't want to stop. So why put everyone's life in jeopardy? I mean, he could have spun out and hit a child or something. It finally ended out front when his wife, (found out that they live a street over from us) walked out into the street, and stood there, hoping her husband would turn down their street. Well, that he did. That is when he finally stopped. The police not only arrested him, but they arrested her as well. Other than that, our neighborhood is kinda quiet. Makes good conversation I guess with the neighbors.

Today we are taking Vincent and Alix to the Santa Monica Pier. We thought we best go now for a few reasons....we saw how much fun it could be, and they finally sold the ferris wheel on ebay to some guy in Oklahoma for $132,000.00. That ferris wheel has been there for as long as I can remember...and it will be gone. So, batteries are charged on all the camera's so that a ton of pictures can be taken of the grandkids. We wanted to take Kaydence, but she's still a bit too young. Which reminds me, she is going to be 1 year old on May 10th. WOW Time sure flew. She's walking now, so Robert and Sheena will for sure have their hands full. She's just a little pistol, full of energy, LOL

I wanted to leave you with a picture that I took of some apples . I entered this is a digital photography magazine, and found out that I took 2nd place. Not bad for an amateur, huh? I will post when I can find it on my other hard drive. I switched all my pictures to a portable hard drive instead of this one so that I can free of space...and I have to hook it up, and to be honest, I'm tired, LOL. Actually, the kids will be here in a moment with Vincent, and I need to put my shoes on. I'll post LOTS of pictures later.

Hurry and heal my eyes...

Our neighbors have that night blooming jasmine, and while I love the frangrance, my eyes don't. OMG, you should see my eyes. They are swollen, watery, burning, and extremely RED. They hurt so bad.

I sure do wish that this medication works. I have done 4 applications of the drops so far, and nothing better. I have taken the pills, and nothing. Now, I know that this stuff doesn't work overnight, but I did expect a slight improvment.

We will see tomorrow.

Artichokes and Stitches

I can't say that I have been diligent about blogging. I get home in the evening, and I am so tired that I usually just sit with my hubby for a few hours before dragging myself off to bed. My allergies are hell this year. The pollens in the air have wrecked havoc on my eyes. They are so swollen and red, and extremely tender to the touch. They itch all the time. I finally had to go to Urgent Care to get some eye drops to stop the itching. I hope this works.

My daughter and her family came over the other night for dinner. We had bbq'd steaks, potatoes, and ummmm artichokes. To make a long story short, she was in doing dishes and a glass broke and cut her hand really bad. It required about 10 stitches. Does not look pretty.

We are once again making plans for another Hawaiian vacation. This time, we are taking my granddaughter, Alix with us. It will be her 16th birthday next year, and what better way to celebrate it, huh? She will just love it. I mean, what 16 year old won't?
