If Roses Grow in Heaven ` For Meme

If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord,
please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.

Tell her, I love her and I miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.

Remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.

In Memory of my grandmother ~ Eveline Beaulieu

My Grandmother was Eveline Beaulieu. We enjoyed going to visit her, especially with my grandchildren. She was so proud when Latoya was born and we had the five generation picture taken. In that picture was myself (top), My mom - Jeanne Keene (middle on left) Stacy, my daughter (middle on right) bottom Meme on Left and Latoya age 3 months on right.

To be continued - need to get more pictures and information from my aunt Joan - Joan if you read this please help me update this blog.

In Memory of My Dad ~ Harold Frank Keene

The first is My Dad, although he has not been with us since October 1995, I think of him often, miss him everyday, and always think how he would have loved to see my girls grow up and to meet his great grandchildren. He would be so proud and I know that if its possible he is looking down from heaven looking out for his family.

Look at the size of this Giant Yellow Jacket Nest

My hubby was going down the deck stairs on the front deck and got stung a couple times by yellow jackets. Under the stairs was this giant yellow jacket nest. Thank God that he was ok and the amazing thing was that all four of our grandkids play out on the deck in the sand box all the time. In fact they were out there last night and Jordan went down the stairs to jump on the trampoline. Again, Thank you God for your protection!

Slide show of my grandchildren

This slide show is some of my favorite pictures of my grandchildren taken this summer. They are the joy of my life! I love each one of them and enjoy being grammie or meme as I am sometimes called by Kelsey and Kaylee.

Ladies Outing

We had an outing today with the ladies from our church. We went to the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay and spent 2 1/2 hours walking through the many gardens. It is a site to see. Many of our ladies couldn't make it today so there was only four of us that were able to go but we had fun and we're sorry the other ladies couldn't be there.

20th Anniversary @ Boothbay Harbor Maine

For our 20th anniversary we spent four days at Boothbay Harbor in June. We stayed at Smugglers Cove in East Boothbay. The motel has four buildings all with private balconey and ocean views. We stayed in the Dory building on the second floor. The motel does packages which comes with breakfast buffet, a 25.00 dinner coupon, and we chose the Windjammer Cruise.

Some of the pictures are of Ocean Point which was just down the road from the motel on Rt 96. The road was inches from the ocean. We walked along the road and on the rocks and I collected shells and rocks.

There is also pictures of an old stone church built 1899 - 1917. It is opened during the summer so we were able to go in and see. Amazing! The have services during the summer on Sundays.

We love Boothbay and go there each year. If you ever get a chance to go check it out, I would recommend it highly!

Help - Needed tips on being a long distance grammy!

Not sure who will be reading this but I have been a grammy going on nine years. Our oldest daughter and her hubby has four children who we see just about every day or so. We have really been blest to be able to share in our grandchildren's lives. I have really tried to be a fun grammy and spend lots of time with them. My problem is that our middle daughter and her hubby are soon to be mommy and daddy. I am excited for them but sad because I want to be a fun grammy to their little one but I don't know how to. I know I'm not the only one in that situation so please help me.

Grandkids are so much fun

We are the proud grandparents of four plus one more to come in August. Being a grandparent is so much fun! I truly enjoy all our grandkids and plan on having lots of fun with them!
