Had our normal activities with a few extras! I ordered Ky a Jo JO clown costume for Halloween. It is real cute. She did not want to try the hat on for us. We all tried it on, she would for a minute, but that was it! Well, I left it out so she could play with it a little. Today on our way out to play she grabbed it & tried to put it on. Now, of course I had to go & get my camera!!! I asked her if she would leave it on long enough for me to get a picture. She said "e-ah"! She did & it was so funny & cute!!!
Another funny thing you did today....I missed u for a few minutes & I went to look for u, u were on the other side of our bed....doing your business. When you saw me, you hit yourself in the head with your hands, then pointed your finger at me & shook it!!!! I left you alone to give u some privacy!!
After CaCa got home we strolled to the barn. Papa & ColCol were there. They had to go back to work & were walking to the packing shed. You went after Cole first telling him to wait, wait! He knelt down in front of you, & you knelt down just like him!! Then you got your Pa, you got his finger & pulled him back toward the barn!!
Ca got the hawg & we took you for a ride in it. We went & saw Cole's wild pig he brought over here!
Then on to the cotton fields. We got out & you picked your first cotton! Then we saw your Mom & you were ready to go with her!!! You do love your mommy!!!
Ca & I decided to pick some cubanells...peppers to stick on the grill. Winston will cook for the packing employee's when they have to work late! They were still working & he & Mr. Harrison Cooper were a cooking! Then we decided we would add some cheese & bacon & put them on the griddle, we were hungry & ready to eat, we sliced a few up with some onions...yum!
09/30
Church day....Ky went to her new class. Aunt Cay stayed with her. She made it through communion today plus a few songs! Then, that was it. We went to eat & then to get some shoes & socks, then to visit Uncle Tom & Aunt Dot. They asked about all of you & said to tell all hello!
I believe there are around 33 in their family now!!! Had a good visit.

Today Ky & I visited with my Mom, Nanna. She came over to see Ky. We laughed about old times & played with Ky. Had a fun time. Then Ky & I continued to tare wall paper off the kitchen walls, a long process! Ky will stay right with me, she seems to enjoy the demolition.
Winston & I went out to eat by ourselves, which does not happen very often, I told him to leave his cell in the car but he wouldn't. Half way during dinner, one of our workers called, he was in jail. He was pulled over for speeding, not very much over the limit, no license, go to jail. We went by after dinner & gave him a ride home!!!Just another typical day on the farm!!!Ha!

Today, 23 years ago , we were blessed with a little bundle of joy! A baby boy! I can remember that day like it was yesterday! Cole had a little trouble trying to make his entrance into this world. His heart rate went down to 15 a few times so they decided to do a c-section. Winston & the rest of the family were all nervous because I was having some complications. I think I was the only one not nervous, must have been the Demerol! But God blessed us with a little cone head baby!!!09/25/07
Grandma Bridges made him a chocolate layer cake, it was delicious!!! I did make him take it to his house today because it is to tempting for a chocoholic!!!!
(Cayla gave Ky some of it last night & she would smack her lips & say yum, yum wanting more!!! Cayla was cracking up, it was funny!!!)
We have been blessed by our Cole Cole and we are proud of him! Happy Birthday Cole!!! We Love You!!!
Oh yea, I sang Happy Birthday to you right before I cut your cake. We just could not wait on you any longer!!!Ha!

I went to the dentist this am for a cleaning. I took Ky with me! She did great! She did fuss at the hygienist a little for messing with her Nannie Ma. I told her she was brushing my teeth for me like I do hers! That satisfied her, along with the flat screen t.v with Dora on! She just sat in my lap & watched Dora!
We went Wendy's & then came home.
She is so tired from being at her Dad's & also Sunday's get her out of her routine! So Monday's are tough!
09/23/2007
Church day, out to eat, groceries.
After the above activities, Cayla & I went to Quitman to the Old Folks home and visited. We saw Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Bee Lee and Aunt Jean. Aunt Jean seemed to be having a good day. As Cayla & I opened the stairwell door, Ronnie & Paula were wheeling her out of her room.
When she saw me, she immediately said,"Well look, there's Jill. Her eyes welled up with tears as did all of ours! We visited and caught up on the latest news with our families.
As each day passes, we are all aging. It is so hard to see loved ones unable to go about their daily routine.
Aunt Jean, as I remember her from my childhood, was always busy as a bee at her house!!! She was always cleaning, and it showed!! Now I must say, I could use a few lessons from her!
I have so many fond memories of Uncle Julian , Aunt Jean, & Paula! Paula, Lynn & I were all close in age so we do have some memories! I told about the train to Tennessee before....I just could not imagine that train taking them from Valdosta to Tennessee!
One time, Lynn & I rode with Uncle Julian to pick them up. Now bear in mind, we had never been out of the state of Ga!
Back then we did not wear seat belts. We rode in the back window, floorboards, on top of the seats, the hood...just kidding, not that we would not have tried it, we were so excited we were all over the car!!! There was also one questions that we kept asking...
Are we about there yet? Uncle Julian was a saint when it came to patience!!!! He would just say, naw gals, we aren't close yet. Then he would say; naw gals, it's gonna be awhile yet, we still have a way's to go; well, we are getting closer. I remember getting so stir crazy! I also remember asking, "Just how far is this place anyway? When he told us how far & long it would take take to get there , we were thinking(and I am sure we said it) we should have stayed home!! You must also know Uncle Julian did everything at a nice slow pace! Ha!
We finally arrived and I am sure he was as glad to get out of that car as we were. We stayed with Grannie Crocket, Aunt Jeans mother. Played croquet, went & visited her Aunts & Uncle, one had monkeys & birds.
Lynn remembers going to Stuckey's to eat on this trip & the cigar smoke burning her eyes in the
car. She said her eye's were burning so bad, we did finally ask him to crack the windows. Yep, every time he rolled them up we would wait a few minutes & ask him to roll them down again!
He probably needed to smoke with us in the car! More memories on this later!
Ky came home at 5:00 & we were glad to see her!
09/15/07 Why Every Woman Needs their own drill!
Wonder why?
Yep, that's right, a woman needs her own drill! Ya just don't need to have to ask your hubby to go down to the barn & get his drill, so you can hang a mini blind(notice I said..you). Especially if he has already removed
the old washer & dryer, took down the old blind, had a long day at the golf course & is watching a football game! The worst thing is, you don't have to ask them to hang it, just ask for another piece for the drill...they will assume you want them to hang it!!!Heehaw!!! Now don't get me wrong, they will help ya take down the old one & would be glad to rehang the other... right away, it shouldn't matter if ya still need to paint the room! A little yellow paint on your wood mini blind wouldn't hurt a thing, now would it!!!
Yep, it's funny now!!!! Your hubby will be more than happy to take you to the Home Depot & buy you a drill, why shucks, mine even came with a cordless skill saw!!!!!
I might even get carried away and saw the bed in half! Hee haw, now wouldn't ya like to hear & see that!!! Just kidding!!!
Yep, I got my own drill & saw now! I'm ready! I do have a blind to hang in hubby's office, but I think I will wait awhile!!!
Another piece of advise, after 25 years, learn to laugh through these types of situations!!!
Oh yea, the new washer & dryer were installed by Home Depot!!! He did not have to touch them at all!!!! Nice & peaceful!!!

Just worked around the house today, Ky is at her other families house this weekend, so I will work on a few things I need to do.
I worked on removing more wallpaper in kitchen.
Cayla decided to paint her bathroom so I helped her get that finished. Looks nice! We had fun & were able to spend time together!
