Welcome! We are a Christian family who cares for elderly individuals in our home. There are so many quotes, stories, and photos that we wanted to share with our precious "Golden Girls'" families, which they could view quicker and could be updated easier on this blog than we would ever have time (and memory!) to share with them personally. We also thought others might enjoy reading and viewing along with the families on this great adventure of their loved ones' golden sunset years. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit with us and "The Grandmas"!

Fourth of July Fun

Hello there, folks!  Hope everyone had a delightful Independence Day celebration!  We certainly had a blast and kept busy per usual.  Here are some glimpses into our day!

Found this cheesecake recipe online...it was delicious!

We had the priviledge of having the B. family (minus Imelda...missed you!) over for our celebration party.  We had hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, baked beans, watermelon, chips, homemade cheesecake and (store-bought :) apple pie.  Talk about stuffing ourselves!

Happy 4th, Friends!!

Let the show begin!



What a trooper!

Oooohhhh!!!! 

Hello there, Daddy-O!!

Aaaaahhhh!!!!

Super-Dad!







"But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution."

K. Rose - the patriotic cheesecake looks delish and it is so beautiful. I know that these are quite an accomplishment to make - you did a beautiful job! What a baker you have turned out to be!! The photos of the fireworks that you were able to print are incredibly clear! You really shot your camera at the right time and they are so clear, too! Great job!
See you Sunday.
