Inspired by Crystal.....

Yes...as I said on my comment to DeAnn's blog...Crystal could inspire me too!...and she did just that. Isn't the new background cute?..love it!..thanks to Crystal!
DeAnn, Crystal and Kendra have visited us and while here Crystal helped me with my blog!...thanks Crystal!
They brought Papa Swede, a Strawberry Shake...he wasn't feeling well. But, little Kendra always brightens up our day! What a little ham!...she calls me "Gama"...she loves our beds and loves to get on them for some reason. Goes from rocking chair to the next, to rock...yes we have 4 of them and she makes the rounds in them all! And not yet 2 years old until Sept 22,... she talks, and does American sign language as she does it....it is so darn cute!...of course she finds the big Candy Jar and knows there is always a treat in there for her. She also knows where the cupboard of cookies, crackers and snacks are!...we love it when all of our family come to visit us! those little ones bring us such happiness! Love those big hugs and kisses!
Well, I have to admit I have been spending far to much time on Facebook....although I love to chat with our family...even from Sweden. And I have made a great friend from S.C. on chat...she is such a nice lady and her name is Sue! I won't even mention "Farm Town" on it...I spend hours on!...should have been a real farmer!.. The world of technology is amazing!....as the 4th of July draws near, I remember it wasn't that many years since we only had radio...and I can remember that in my life. I remember when there weren't many cars and we walked everywhere....the telephone, that I had to stand on a chair and talk into the receiver on a box, which hung on the wall, while holding the ear phone to my ear to listen through! We cranked a little handle on the side of the box to get the operator who said "number please!...you would then tell her the number....sometimes I didn't know it and would tell the operator..."I want to talk to my grandma...some how she knew who I wanted to speak to and would put my call through anyway! I remember one time I couldn't find my mom, so I called the operater and ask her if she knew where my mama was?...she just ask who my mama was and told me she wasn't far away and would be there soon...sure enough she was! she had such taken something across the street to our neighbor........Wow, times have changed! We all have Cell Phones! Now, instead of writing letters to our families & friends, who live in other towns, and hardly saw one another, all we have to do is get on a computer, or get in our cars to see and talk to them.
Well, until next time......when I post some pictures....stay well, safe, I miss you and love you all very much!
And Happy Fathers Day to all the Father's out there! And especially to my husband!
