My Prince And My Princess.................

I had anticipated this day for quite some time, the day I would have both of them together....After all she's had total control over her Papa and Grammie for nine years and (and she has ruled with an sparkly wand) every time we tried to tell her that there might be an addition to the family she either walked away or told us she didn't want to discuss it...So, what would happen when she had to share attention and affection was a big concern...Maybe a little bit of jealousy maybe a lot or maybe stuff him in a trash can when Gram wasn't looking (trust me, we were a little worried...This girl has marked her territory). I thought the day went very well....What do you think?

Garden.....................

It's all fun and games until you realized you've canned forty nine quarts and still haven't finished yet....Then it gets ugly! Or maybe I'm the one who gets ugly!!!

I need to tell myself how good they'll taste in soups and chilli's....I'll tell myself that tomorrow because tonight I'm gonna try to build up enough strenght to cry!!!

Still Here...................

She doesn't blog because her computers dies, then she buys computer and still doesn't blog.....What gives!!! Trust me, it's not because the voices in my head have stopped talking to me and the urge to tell everyone all my hidden secrets have died....Rest assured I'm still a dysfunctional mess......I'm just a busy mess.....Like most everyone in the whole wide world!!

Summer is exceptional busy inside the palace walls (someone asked me why my blog is titled Good to be a Queen and why I refer to my home as the palace, it's not because I'm totally full of my prissy self but because my last name is....you guessed it!!! QUEEN!!!) I thought it was cute...she didn't get it....it must be sad in her world!!

Here is the usual cast of Summer character's that keep me hopping, picking, canning, freezing and burning up in this Georgia heat!!!

It wouldn't be so bad if I glistened when I was hot, kinda like the vampires do in the Twilight movies.....Nope, not me it's a full on sweat... the kind that runs down your butt crack............YUCK!

My husband informed me yesterday that the North Ga apples will be ready for picking in three weeks, I looked at him and replied, "Oh Boy!".......He said that I didn't sound like I meant it..........I assured him I would work on my attitude........................................................So far it's not changed!

I have also decided to take my show (so to speak) on the road, and no I've not ran away and joined the carnival which by the way was my life long dream to be a "Carny" at the tender age of nine, I mean where else can you wear cut-off shorts and some old Lynyrd Skynyrd tee-shirt to work everyday....I wasn't taught to dream big....What can I say!!!.......
I was invited to sell my homemade natural bath and body products in a couple of local Farmers Markets

I felt pretty good about that until I realized they are all outside......In the mid-day Georgia heat......on a parking lot.......Need I remind you about the whole sweat and butt crack thingy!!! Tuesday's Market was 108~.....It's hard to sell your products and act like the Macy's spritzer girl when you look like your lactating.....

And my heart has be stolen and my never be returned by this little fella here....


I am 100% over the moon in love with this little boy, he has completely turned our lives upside down...I just want to eat him.....Those lips are begging to be kissed...And that wild and crazy head of hair he has...Don't get me started!!!! The adoption should be finalized sometime in August, I've never seen my daughter and son in law more exhausted and in love and complete than they are now...They are truly blessed!!! And we (Papa and Grammie) are do some spoiling!!!
