E-mailing

My newly married son had to leave his new bride in Hawaii for a minute. He stopped by here to use Moms computer to send an e-mail and share some awesome wedding pics with me. Yes my son Travis is a very happy camper!

 

 

Note the disgust on Travis's face because I was taking pictures of him. He had just got home from work and was not in the mood I suppose. 

Oh well he ought to know better at Mom's house. I always have my camera!

A special, special day

My son Travis Lee Mosley who was born up here (in Susanville) met his future bride Tiffany up here "rompin" their 4 wheel drive pick up trucks. Travis in his, Tiffany in her's Tiffany has been a part of this family ever since. They made it "official" in Hawaii in a truly romantic marriage made for just two.
So although these photos are in Hawaii, the mother and mother-in-laws (that would be me)LOL! body was here, my heart was with the kids on this most special of day.
Sooo may I now introduce to you
Travis Lee and Tiffany Jane Mosley!!!

The beautiful bride, Tiffany

What a sunset eh?

Beautiful to no end!

Breathtaking!

Looks like Tiffany was having a bit of fun! LOL!!!

My handsome son and his bride

And this one I plan on having blown up and perhaps I will make the frame for it!

It is surely one beautiful picture.

I may even use this for a Mellow Yellow Monday next week. Ya can't get much mellower than that yellow!!!

Tree lined archway

Atree ligned archway that was pointed out to me by my dogs "Buick" and "Nala".
Around the corner from my house in Pinetown.

 

On a more personal note; 30 years ago this morning at 6:30 I gave birth to my 2nd born son. Travis Lee was born in Susanville in the "old" hospital on Hospital lane. He was the 1st and only son born up here. Although I have lived up here ever since, it just so happened that the next 2 sons were born in southern Ca.

Happy Birthday Travis!!!

Kids, Grandkids

My son Travis and his son, my grandson rode bicycles to my house this evening. Travis got off work a little early, so they stopped by. I have not got to see Jeremiah hardly at all this summer, so this was GREAT!!!

 

My son Travis, and my grandson Jeremiah Lee

 

I was not about to let them get away without pictures!

 

Jeremiah Lee and me

 

Jeremiah getting tired of "smiling" for the camera. This is me trying to tickle a smile out of him!

A trip to southern Ca.

 I am going to post this post for April 10th so that I can from this post on place my picture(s) of the day in order. This is just an explanation on why I am doing so. Thanks!

My son Travis and his son (my grandson) Jeremiah Lee live here in Westwood by me. My other 3 sons and my father live in Southern Ca. For the last couple weeks Travis and I were trying to get down there. It was a good time to do so as Jeremiah had spring break coming up, the weather was in our favor (no major snow storms, etc.). I was anxious to see my father. He is 88 years old and has had declining health recently. And for the first time since forever the other 3 sons were for all intents and purposes right next door to each other which meant the 4 sons would all be together again in the same room since my son Troys wedding in May of 2006! The biggest plus was that Troy my one son that lives down there and with whom we would be staying is as close to my Dad's house as if we here in Pinetown/Westwood were driving to Susanville to do some grocery shopping. In other words a very short drive! Travis had not seen his grandfather, (my dad) for over 3 years and Jeremiah was only 3 years old the last time he had seen him.. So I am going to post my pictures of the day except they will not be of my town, they will be of my trip down there.

Easter Sunday in southern Ca.

Easter Sunday, we woke up to the fact the Easter Bunny had indeed found Jeremiah even though he was not at his home but 600 miles away. My son and his wife, Troy and Amanda whom I call Dil have recently welcomed a new family member. Chumba

 

Chumba is a 22 week old purebred Italian greyhound and without a doubt their pride and joy , as Chumba should be. He is an extremely smart little dog and I was soooo impressed by him.

Where they live at they have a shopping center where animals are allowed, even welcomed. I can not remember the name of it but will find out. This is where we went on Easter Sunday afternoon. 

 

At this mall they have this Merry-Go-Round right in the middle of the mall.

 

I had never seen anything like this in a mall. I am sure I am the few. I just don't live by a place that has these sort of things, like a mall, let alone a mall with a Merry-Go-Round and a Ferris Wheel. LOL!!!

 

This is Dil holding the newest member of a family she is extremely close to. This is Lola and she is as cute as can be.

 

  

Jeremiah went on this Ferris Wheel with Dil!

 

And I always save my favorites for last. I and Dil are walking behind my sons and grandson.From left to right is Travis, up front is Jeremiah, Travis's son, then Troy and my youngest Hunter E.

 

Does Jeremiah not look like he has the same walk as his Dad and his uncles? I think so! I had a nice time this day. Yup a mall that has carnival rides along with allowing animals. What a trip!

Old ladies need their sleep!

My young one Hunter E. finally got here at 3:30 this morning. We visited for a bit, then him and his girlfriend Becca went to sleep, and I caught a couple hours myself. We all got up around 10 A.M. and they had to go pick up his motorcycle. They pretty much had to turn around and get back but not before Travis and gal pal Tiffany came by. Travis is another of my sons and Hunters older brother. So of course it was picture taking time and that is what I did. Is that not what good little mommies are suppose to do? LOL!!!
How about 97 pictures? Yup, that is how many I took of us all. I was even able to get in a couple of them.
Hunter and Becca took off at 1:00 and I came to the computer and went through 97 pictures! LOL!!!
Here are a couple of my faves, no don't worry, there is not 97 of them!

From the left, Becca, Hunter E. Travis and Tiffany!

The girlfriends, Becca and Tiffany

All us girls, Tiffany, Myself and Becca!

And I love this pic of Hunter E. and Becca! I think they make a cute couple.

Ah, too be young again!!!

Hunter and Mommy. I tell ya, I feel like I look a hundred years old in this picture after standing next to the young girls! Of course in my defense, I hardly got a bit of sleep in the last 48 hours, waiting for up for them and then getting up before everyone else.

Old ladies need their sleep!

Happy Day AFTER Christmas

Walking down the street sleeping, (or so it seemed) brought on by earthquake hysteria and lack of sleep, I am in search of my picture on this beautiful day, when far and away I see, two fine looking young men. One quite a bit younger than the other. A father son perhaps. I get my camera ready when it became apparent in walking a few feet more, that these two belonged to me.

A day after Christmas surprise for mommy/grandma. It was my son Travis and his son,my grandson (Duh!) Jeremiah Lee, walking down the street to see me!

A sweet smile,

And a quick peak at Mom/Grandma's computer.

And then a picture taken by the true photographer in the family, Jeremiah took this of his Dad and his Grandma! and that would be me.

Happy Day AFTER Christmas, from my family (or part of it) to yours!

Mother Nature had a good cry today Day 62

Today has been a very and much needed rainy day. A day when you do not even want to really venture outside. A day that if I were a little bit different in my way of thinking I simply would not have even gotton dressed. Getting dressed on a day like today seems almost foolish.  The wind is blowing in such a boisterous gale that my hatless head would become no more than a 60's beehive hairdo, the rain an unwanted shower. Mother nature has done today what has been needed for quite awhile, and other than this little rant I am thankful she is here.
     On a lighter side because of her appearance I was wondering how I would pull off a picture of the day.
But I was lucky!
My son and his girlfriend along with my  Jeremiah Lee came over to see dear old mom and try to brighten up her day. So with my camera in hand my picture(s) of the day is Travis and Tiffany reading this blog for the very first time. They had not been told yet by me that I had started this one. However day before yesterday, my young one Hunter E. and his brother Troy decided to "Google"  Pinetowns First Lady and they found it. So my secret is out. (It wasn't meant to be a lifelong secret but perhaps a 3 or 4 month period before I planned on sharing in case I could not keep it up) so I decided to tell Travis and Tiffany myself before the cat, (that would be alley-cat) got out of the bag!

 

  

and just to show how much water we got today, these are pictures of my chairs on our newly built front porch and the water they were able to hold. All in all "Today was a VERY rainy day"

It is almost scary to think of what it may have been like if this were or had been all snow!

Oh and did I mention alllllll the pine needles, "A blowin' in the wind"

A Haunting they shall go

And now for later on that night, when my Jeremiah Lee and his Best Friend Mikey and Mikey's little sister Genesee showed up to do a little Trick or Treating, along with their friends Chloe and Carson.

 

Jeremiah Lee left front, Mikey, right front, Carson left back and Chloe in the right front.

 

And this is Genesee in all of her adorable smiling glory. Yes she was named after the Genesee Valley which is right outside of  Taylorsville Ca. And I do think this is such a beautiful name to go with this delighfuly cute little girl .

First off they showed up in style, by bus!

Majors Outpost, a boat and  jet ski rental place at beautiful Lake Almanor, and ran by Mikey and Genesee's parents, Joe and Theresa Majors
 I just had to go grab my camera and go inside. Of course I was using this blog as an excuse, but you can add nosy to that also. I just had to see inside.

 

This is where I found  the boys in the back of the bus. LOL!!!

 

Jeremiah Lee close-up

 

Mikey close up

 

And who is that? Oh it is my son dressed up as HIMSELF, or possibly a beer taster !

Smiling big for mommies camera! Good job Travis Lee!

A note to Troy and Hunter E. Day 60

This is a cheat post as it was taken yesterday, when the weather was so absolutely beautiful, warm, wonderful, in the true meaning of every word. This is my son Travis and his girlfriend Tiffany and of course Jeremiah Lee's new home they just moved into in Westwood.

A post for Troy and Hunter E.
Love Mom!

Damn Honking Truck Drivers!!!! Day 58

Yesterday when I took my walk and took the pictures for yesterdays post, I was walking down the Hwy, towards town (Westwood) when I saw this approaching me (below)

It was coming around the corner and coming my way. As it approached the driver started to honk, and then he honked again, but this time I have myself completely off the road even though there is a bike lane. As it passed me it let out one more very long honk! I had already by this time lowered my head as it was a bit uncomfortable . I am not a young girl anymore!

But now I must hang my head in shame as I am about to announce, how I , assumed  things I should not have been assuming. 

#1  Don't assume some Truck Driver is honking at you for no other reason than to honk

 

#2 Don't assume that a truck driver WANTS to honk at you 

 

#3 And don't assume the Truck Driver is some stranger honking with lewd thoughts!

 

#4 Don't EVER assume that said Truck Driver is not your very own son!!!

 

Yup, I knew my son Travis had started a new job and that he was driving a "dump truck"  Me, I am visualizing a Tonka looking dump truck! Not this!!!

So today I asked him to stop by and please let me take a couple quick pictures for my picture of the day, and he did. It is an absolutely beautiful day today!

However I am announcing to the world of bloggers whom may stop by that YES, I am eating a GREAT BIG piece of humble pie as I write this post!
