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"!

Water Fun

What does it mean when the cicadas are droning, the grass is crunchy and the sun is blazing?? It means that it's HOT! And when a load-full of kids are over there's only one thing to do about it -- pool time!











May-day! May-day!

Houston, we have a problem!







That is one FULL pool

What a fun evening! Thanks B. family for sharing the day with us! 
Can't wait to celebrate the Fourth of July together!

A Graduation...

Well, it's official folks! Vanessa has graduated from high school! To celebrate, we spent a day at the Arboretum, a wonderful lunch at Pappadeaux and a week later had dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. Vanessa is now taking charge of home management (ie. menu-making, grocery shopping, errand running, food prep, cleaning and laundry; as well as taking care of our personal & business accounting)!







Throughout the day we kept asking each other 
"Who let Johanna out of the house without doing her hair???"



Vanessa took a few of me for our doula website



Our beautiful Mamacita! She did a lot of the luggage-carrying...thank you!


Isn't this cute? A wishing well!




Snapdragons are probably my most favorite flower








Headed to Pappadeaux!
(Took this while waiting at a stop light. I kept trying to get the camera to focus on the mirror; 
finally got the picture before the car behind us honked :D)



Dessert and coffee at the Cheesecake Factory!
(sorry for the poor quality - phone camera)


Congratulations Vanessa Elaine! 
We love you and are so proud of the beautiful young lady that you have become.
