The Ultimate Videos of Birds for Cats To Watch



Good Evening. World!... Thursday April 7th, 2016.
  Well--- got a face time call from Eric and Nicole this evening--- great seeing them and little Jase is growing so darn fast--- crawling and trying to stand holding on to furniture now so it won't be long. He is 8 months now -- just can't believe that much time has passed already. 
  Since my last entry I have been back to Virginia when Jase was born last July --- and also when he turned 6 months old too!  Both visits were 3 weeks long and enjoyed the luxury of the trips going for so long.  
   We were in almost gonna buy 2 other houses til we finally settled on 1690 young ave, Paradise, ca. 
It is soooo wonderful to be in a house again and we have been settling slowly the last 2 weeks  and just trying to remember where I put things is a miracle when I remember where it is!  We still have to buy a couch and a kitchen table/ chairs and a small desk for my studio. It's all coming together and I feel so thankful each morning when I wake up and we are here.  We went to Yreka twice in the last 2 weeks to pick up our storage stuff and still can't find a few important items in my karnex out in big springs at Teresa Jo's house. Those travel days were exhausting leaving at 5 am and returning by 6 pm and thankful to have great weather and see the mountain again!  Only got to see Teresa Jo for a few hours and that was great in my book!  

    
       I will just have to go back up for another visit sometime in early May to look again for a few items I couldn't find last time. 

This is the part I am missing here-- it is in storage somewhere---lol


Little Jase looking so precious! 

This was Eric -- Jase's daddy at about the same age. You can tell the similarity completely! 

This is Teresa Jo at our Easter visit this year. We had lunch at El Zanguin in Yreka !

Eric and Nicole got to go see Monticinello in Virginia at Easter this year
It looks like a huge place to learn about president Jefferson's life there! 

Here is a link to a house tour of the inside of our house-- it's on u-tube. 
It's a little long and not planned out-- I got side tracked making dinner and forgot the camera was on--opps.... I definitely am not a photographer , that is for sure!  
Hope you can kinda get a feel for the new dwelling here.  

A little extra event here--
      Today we went to a local nursery looking at potential yard plants etc... And as we left I went over to look at the Bonsai display and have been contemplating buying one in memory of Bonnie Jo's 17th angel-bday this year  (August) --- just find it so hard to realize 17 years have wizzed by !  I found her old journals while moving ( I have keep them in our safe) but just haven't had the nerve and courage to read too much of them. Welllll,..... I did this week for a few nights stayed up late and sure enjoyed being in her presence -- it's just almost like being with her again.  Thank you Bonnie Jo for sharing your heart then ----- so I could enjoy you now.   I guess that was all it took for me to be more alerted to strange things that happen when we least suspect it.... For right as I was admiring the Bonsai plants--- wind chimes started sounding in the nearby gezebo and I really couldn't detect a source of wind. It definitely was beautiful and strange all at once. I thanked the lord for the reminder that she is so close to my heart all the time. She was just making sure I didn't miss that opportunity of her passing by me. Thanks sweetheart! 

So that about catches up my life-- in my end of the world. !!!
Love you all
Till next time--- BJM

Day 8 in Paradise, ca

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/joyce-meyer-radio-podcast/id152564333?mt=2&i=353338935




Hi everyone. This is my view this morning.  Very beautiful here!,
  

It's starting to cloud up now-- first it looked like a perfect day for a great walk!  Life is kinda quiet here--but we have managed to stay pretty busy this first week this is day 9 -- so far we have attended a huge bluegrass/Halloween party at Dan & Patti's home, was great fun!, great food!, great music!! 

We've had a few days rain here-- so haven't done much sewing yet - maybe today.  Sent in my app for volunteering at paradise hospice thrift store -- hope they accept me-- it's a busy store and looks like they need more help. Two days a week probably if I get my wish granted.  
  So far I haven't gotten lost on this crazy street maze that is before me. I can't drive over 35 mph (the speed limit anyways) anything faster would be dangerous because the steets are very narrow with lots of tall pine trees and tons of telephone poles --which kinda freak me out--as I'm so use to the "Wide open spaces" of Siskiyou cty with lots of elbow room.  Think I miss that the most--

Enjoyed going to my new church that the Lord has so perfectly provided--right across the street from rv park.  Felt right at home and congregation was open and loving felt very at home like Greneda Berean!  
  Miss everyone still so much --sending my hugs to all--
Hugs and prayers,
BJM

Good Evening !!
  Well I've been home now for over a month...from Eric & Nicole's visit in Virginia (7/24/15 to 8/14/15) and then 2 weeks after that we moved out of our house into the 5th Wheel at the RV Park near the fairgounds for 2 months...while Mack finishes up working on it, ad finishes up working at NorCal.
 Little Jase Douglas, Born 7/31/15~~a perfect treasure straight from Heaven! 7#11ounces! A baby that has such a nice dispostion and seems to be a non-complainer!  I haven't really seen him get agitated much as he has alot of love coming to him from the whole family!  What a Joy!
 We are all set for adventure in the 5th wheel!
this was our first night!  now I have taken alot of advice from Pam Lockwood, who is a seasoned RV-er and she told me how to do my sewing --out on the picnic table when the weather permits, and it does work and it is fun!  no one stops me from enjoying the day doing what I love!

 Teresa Jo got to visit with her High School Girlfriend Julia! She is from Alaska!  Wow They look so good and never get older!  Julia's children are so handsome and beautiful!

 TJ and I enjoying the softness of the 5h wheel bed ~~~ She was able to inherit our old mattress (a sleep confort)   I love the one in the 5th wheel much better ~~ think it is a beauty rest, and I sleep much better on it...so thankful to have a nice RV!

Jase and Eric enjoying a nice snooze together!  so sweet !

Our old house--front view out the living room window!  I do miss it!

Dutchess acting funny in the muddy water!  TJ's cutie !


Jase really has quite a huge wardrobe...Nicole uses it all and keeps him dressed in style! What great parents they both are!

I made homemade spanish rice in the RV..I love to make that!

This was the guitar that Mack sold our friends at our garage sale!  it is a Archtop and is unique!

Little Jase!  what a Ham! Thanks MOM and DAD!




Eric's class --right before I got back there--gave him this T-shirt!  So cute!  I took this picture and Eric told me not to...I did anyways honey! sorry ___you make me so proud!
Got to babysit alittle while there!  I was totally blessed!

Eric is a most excellent Daddy!

We took our kitty out to TJ's for her new home....she dissappeared for awhile, but there are signs that she is still there, just goes on her long long Walk-a-bouts....and only comes back to eat.. TJ thought for sure she had relocated to someone elses house.  I think she will be just fine!  I really miss her!
Love this newborn picture of Jase and Daddy!

Nicole and Eric...proud parents!

 Saw this heavy pounder..Eric said he got it this way from using it so much up in Washington putting his fence in....I thought it was pretty great!

Little Jase Douglas keeps those strong arms moving--he is perfect in every way!

I am so much in amazement!  God has truly Blessed us all!

Thanks for the wonderful times!  Each second was perfect~

July 2015

The other pictures below are Jase going to his first doctor appt on Monday August 3rd, 2015 to get his vitals checked.  He has a hint of jaundice and his levels have to be monitored.  
  Both Eric and Nicole are such excellent parents. I am amazed and so thankful for them both being who they are. Great young adults taking on a huge challenge of being parents.  
   Happy 2nd anniversary to you both today!!
      This  was little Jase when he came home from the hospital.  So darling. 
It's been much too long since I've posted here. Been kinda busy.  Sold our house, and my first grand baby has been born. My son Eric and Nicole are the proud parents and great parents they are.  Little Jase Douglas was born July 31st ( Friday) and all is perfect!  Handsome sweetheart he is with rose bud lips and long legs and perfect features. Cute little cry and is not a hard baby at all. So very thankful that God has blessed them so richly.  





That's the morning here so far... Hugs and prayers.  Bjm

The Ball Brothers - I Shall Know Him

Today, -----Sunday 8/9/15.... Got to go to Destination church with Nicole's girlfriend.  It was much like my nieces church in Washington called capital Christian.  The sermon was calked "get sexy back". Was really a great sermon about covenants vs contracts and when we walk down the aisle it represents God's covenants with man in the Old Testament. Also the diamond given as a symbol of the promised covenant between a man and wife is noted to have 7 colors  same that represents the covenant promise colors of the rainbow!  That is really cool!  Never knew that before.  Anyway.... It is good to visit other  churches. I truly am thankful I went.  
  We went shopping at a indoor mall this afternoon and visited Ross , and the 5$ store.  Ate lunch at Kahn's Mongolian restaurant.   Was a pleasant day with the family!   
   Time is going by so quickly here with new little Jase.  Before I know it I'll have to leave and go home.  Will surly miss them all!!  It's been a real miracle blessing to be apart of little "Jase's"arrival.  I am feeling so over full of God's blessings.  

    Burping little Jase 





Love you all!
