Thank goodness it's over....

Colin's surgery that is! I was so nervous until Sara called this morning to say that they were on their way home. He was a trooper! Graham Cracker loves her boy! I hope your ears are feeling much better.
Harry and I went to Hollywood Studios on Tuesday. Got into the first "American Idol Experience" show at 11 and loved it so much that we watched it again at 4 p.m. Three singers compete at each show, and the winner goes on to compete at the 7 p.m. finale. The day's winner (voted on by the audience) gets a "golden" ticket to be the first in line to try out at any American Idol audition. Talk about your fast pass!
Had dinner at the Brown Derby - fantastic as usual. Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas ate there on February 9...how is it that I NEVER get to see celebrities? Rats!
Going to Mikados in Melbourne tomorrow with Harry, Eunice, Jack, Carol and Charles. Carol and Charles have never been there but love Japanese food as much as the four of us do. Should be fun.

Just my luck!!!!!

I can't believe it - Harry and I were planning on going to Hollywood Studios on Thursday, February 12, however, the temple on my glasses broke and we decided to go another day. Headed off downtown to see if I could get them fixed but no one carried my line of Joan Collins glasses. We stopped by Jack and Eunice's house to see if they had any Super Glue - no luck so we spent some time with them. Came home to find that we had some glue in the kitchen cabinet and Harry fixed them so well that I haven't had any trouble.
Just my luck!!!! There's a picture in the Florida Today paper showing all 7 American Idol winners at Hollywood Studios. They were there on Thursday for the soft opening of the American Idol Experience - I found out that Paula Abdul and Ryan Seacrest were also there! I could just kick myself for not fixing the glasses that morning and going on to Disney!!!!

Long time

It's been a while since I posted on here. Groundhog's Day (my birthday) has come and gone - 57 years - it doesn't seem that I'm that old some days, but other days it seems as if I'm WAY, WAY up there! I remember when I was 16 - I wanted to be older...my mom told me that I shouldn't wish my life away...now I know what she meant. Where did the time go? Have I used it wisely? The answer from me would be NO! My baby girl is 30 - where did that time go? I wish that I could get the years back from the time Sara was born until she got married. Boy, would I do things over again! I look at her and wish that I could have been the mom that she is to Caitie and Colin. I know that she loves me, but what will her memories be when I'm gone...will they be good or bad?
Caylee Anthony's public memorial service will be Tuesday at First Baptist Church of Orlando. The church holds over 5,000 - I wonder how many people will be there. Security will be tight...no purses, cameras, cell phones, etc. Everyone will have to go through a security thingy and the police will have the right to decide if you pose a risk and not let you in. I'd like to go. That little girl was precious - she deserves a memorial service. I can't stand to look at any footage of Casey Anthony and her attorneys. I know that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but in my mind she murdered her daughter.
Those two cutie-patootie children that are in the picture on my blog are my grandchildren (in case you didn't know.) I miss you Caitie and Colin! You make your graham cracker (Grammy) very happy.
Better end this on a happy note - it's suppose to be in the 70's tomorrow - no more 40's for Titusville! Yea!
