A Flash from the Past

My little man
Me and my lil boy....he was happy to see me
What a happy family....Cherish these moments
Victor and Mrs. Hammond. One of the teachers
All business....just like someone else I know.
This cute lil girl is Lilly Chapman. She went to preschool with Victor Mom and Dad, both a little misty eyed My "superhero"...not spidey, Victor

Well, my first sweet, sweet grandchild Victor started kindergarten today...I can't believe it! I told Papa Beeler that it seems like yesterday that we were doing the same thing...where does the time go? Too fast.


As you will see by my pix, Victor looked like a doll today. He was ready but maybe a little apprehensive. The tears came from not him but mommy. Marla and Victor did a great job hiding their emotions from him and appeared to be very happy and excited....they are too, I guess you could call it bittersweet. I understand. We left after the teacher announced "It's time to say goodbye, Mom and Dad." I then went over to Mass at Our Lady and had a few "misty eyed" moments myself. God is so good! I've always called Victor my saving grace as he was born just 5 days before my dad passed. Oh how that helped.


I know that it won't be long that Maddie, Sam and Abigail will soon be filing in behind him and beginning their first day. This is all tooooooo exciting for me as a Mamo.


Most likely there are a few other lil miracles up there in Heaven just waiting to join our clan. Enjoy my pix and Victor, Mamo and Papa love you very much and hope you had a Super Day!!!!!

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
