Thank you, Susan for your beautiful
"Between Naps On The Porch"
and the opportunity for bloggers to meet here each Monday
and share ideas and tips for making life special.
Please remember to link back to BNOTP and visit all the great blogs participating in Metamorphosis Monday
FIRST POST EVER!!
After following many blogs for almost a year, I have decided to morph into one of you. I know my blog looks plain but so am I. As I have noted in my profile, I am older than you. Well, most of you. Please call me Ginger or Granny (I am most often called Granny). I am a grandmother of five wonderful grandsons
and the mother of three fantastic children. For 52 years I have been the challenging wife of my Sweet Ole Bob.

Guess which one of us is napping AGAIN!
I have limited knowledge of this publishing game. I thought a gadget was a new kitchen utensil and I didn't know a blogging MEME from a HTML. With that said, please be patient with me while I learn to "blog".
Today, I would like to take you on a day trip through our "Wonderful Life". It IS a "Wonderful Life" because of and in spite of the trials and challenges we have encountered on this magnificent journey called "Life".
Our life is filled with love of faith, family, friends, holidays, gardening and travel.
I personally love
dishes and
decorating my home. I
especially love dishes.
Now, if I can just find my contacts we can get started.
WELL, HANG ON HERE WE GO!
OUR FAITH
CELEBRATIONS
Jon, the youngest grandson
He performed at Carnegie Hall this summer
Timothy one of the oldest grandsons
No one will admit to decorating this cake!
This guy wishes to remain anonymous
Yes, I said guy!

This one is studying Nuclear Engineering.
Doesn't talk to me about school!
DO YOU SEE A PATTERN HERE?
Yes, we will celebrate the mail delivery with a cake and I AM a proud Granny! Sorry!

Congratulations on becoming a blogger. I was so afraid to start because I didn't want to feel hooked in, and now I am totally hooked. Granny, it looks like you have a wonderful life and I can't wait to get to know you better. I am just a beginning blogger too and just started in May, but you seem to have it all down. We are learning together. I love being a grandma too, it is the best, had I known I would have skipped being a mother (just kidding) but it sure is fun isn't it. So nice to meet you. I will be your first follower.
Welcome to blogging, Ginger! I loved all the cake photos, especially. And I would love to see your 100 amaryllis blooming -- what a sight that must be!

Welcome to blogland my dear!I loved hearing about your family--I also LOVE calla lilies! I brought a few with me from my garden in California, but they haven't done well here in North Carolina and don't bloom much. Please tell me your secret to growing them in the South! I love Savannah, too, by the way!
Thanks for visiting my blog. So nice to "meet" you, and welcome to blogland! I think your first blog is super, although I am having a hard time calling you Granny. :) Anyway, I am a follower now, so I can pop back over and visit. Keep those posts coming!

Welcome to Blogland, Ginger. I am so glad you decided to hop in. As I am reading your blog, I feel like I am reading mine. We really have so much in common, including going on cruises. Maybe we have seen each other in one of them. I love Monte Carlo too, the port is so beautfiul with all the wonderful big yachts. We travel a lot too and people advice me to just keep a suitcase packed and I read that you do that, lol. Of course I am a dishaolic too, I must have at least 20 sets of dishes, maybe more. I love decorating and gardeing too and of course, I love my grandkids and my whole family. I am so glad to have met you.....Christine
I didn't realize you were a new blogger. I think your blog looks great! Welcome to Blogville. This was a fabulous first post. you should have seen my first post - no you shouldn't have- I don't even want to see it again! Looking forward to getting to know you better. laurie
Congrats on joining the blogging world! I came to visit and took a look around and I like what I've seen. I'm becoming one of your followers! I like your sense of humor and you love of family!
