Seems to me my life, blog and emails, all seem to be focused on Allison Olivia lately. I guess I have officially turned into one of those grandmothers who adores their grandbaby so much it pretty much is all she can think about. Noticed I said "think about". I don't bore people with Allison stories unless they bring her up and even though I do have a grandmother's 'brag book' - I don't even have it up to date with the latest pictures and it is not in my purse to pull out and show off.
I do think about Allison and when it comes time to share my life in blog form, or when I email my mom she is mentioned but our Alli is just about the sweetest blessing since the birth of my own daughter almost 25 years ago. So for those of you who read this blog, please know I do have other interests but right now it just so happens my main one is...Allison.
So now to other updates, Chuck is doing well and keeping busy with the Fire Station and all his classes. Work for him is good and he was even given two accounts to take over. My job is going along but they did lay off 7 people from my office yesterday and I don't think they are done cutting the budget. I will just say that if I don't get laid off in the next few months I will be more surprised than if I do.
My mother in law, Betty, will be coming to visit in March and staying with us. She is looking forward to seeing everyone and of course our newest addition to the family will be here sometime around March 8 (Stephanie is having our great niece), so that will be a special time for sure.
Our warm weather seems to have already returned - in fact we went from having the heat on to cranking up the A/C. We just can't seem to shut off the HVAC and save some money. Our winter was about 2 weeks long this year but it did freeze long enough to kill the grass and plants and one morning our well was frozen and the water stopped. Luckily I had finished getting ready (sorry Chuck for using all the water up!) Poor guy had to go to work to shave that morning. So yes we do get a winter here in FL but two weeks is just not long enough for me.
Hope all is well and everyone is doing the best they can. Until next time.
