Prize won from work

Every month we have new incentives at work .  It’s to motivate us and keep us focused on doing the best we can.  Working in the retention department isn’t easy that’s for sure.  We have a daily/monthly quota we must meet.  Some months are much harder than others.  

To win this TV you had to have most improved saves.  Apparently I busted my rear and did what I needed to do.  I was so proud of myself.  I haven’t won anything in a long while.  

Now I really must try to keep the momentum going.  Sometimes I am the one holding back.  When I keep hearing the members say no I give up and don’t continue pushing them.  I definitely do not like being the one who pushes, but you have to in this department.  

The TV value is $100.00 USA dollars. 

 

Christmas 2023

Out tree with some of our gifts.  Most of the gifts are in guest room.  We needed room to walk. Especially when you buy gifts are 20 immediate family members.

This is Clifford’s ornament.  Can’t wait to buy ornaments for each child of their current favorite.

My gift's from Mr. C

Some of the gifts from kids.  One of the Amazon gift cards for $100 is from Mr. C  I was so blessed this year.  Loved all my gifts.   There have been years I only got a few gifts and some I was blessed beyond measure.  I am always grateful just to spend time with my love ones.  I will always remember the reason we celebrate Christmas. 

 

Blake and Jessica’s children.

Brooks and Hattie

Love all the photo’s Jessica has taken of the kiddo’s.  These babies are so photogenic.  I normally will save photos off of Facebook and print them.  I have a family wall where I will hang them. 

Christmas is such a magical holiday. 

 

Chickasha Festival of Lights

Michelle called and asked if I wanted to go see the lights in Chickasha.  Yes! Yes! I was so excited to go with the grandchildren and Michelle.  I haven’t been to the lights in several years.  This year will be the first that I have actually walked thru the lights.  

Seeing the lights reflect off the water was so beautiful. Am glad my camera picked up the reflection as well as it did.  People from everywhere come to see these lights.

Baby Max and I.  He is my youngest grandson. 

Had to take a photo on the bridge with all the lights.  I felt like the bridge area was enchanted with all the fairy lights. The workers didn’t give us much time to take any pictures. 

Wesley and Angel.

The photo of Michelle and kids.  Didn’t turn out the best.  Am glad I snapped it anyways. So glad Michelle thought about me and invited me along.  Making memories with my grandchildren is very important to me. 

 

Journal pages

I enjoy writing in journals. My favorite book is composition notebook.  I normally glue 2 or 3 pages together to give the page more stability.  

My pages are normally simple. At least I am making progress in writing something everyday. 

 

Hattie turns 1

Hattie’s 1st birthday party.

Jessica trying to get Hattie to eat her cake.  

Lots of great food.  

Grannie with Brooks.  The party turned out really well.  Lots of laughter and fun.  Was nice to see everyone.   

 

Girl’s Day out

Cherrie and I had a much needed girls day out.  We went shopping and ate.  As always I spent way too much money.  But am trying to get Christmas gifts bought. 

Who can resist a margarita?   It’s my favorite drink to order in a restaurant. The chances of them messing it up is close to impossible.

Cherrie had a decent outing as well.  Sure glad we take time to go out for outings.  Sometimes we wait many months before we make a date. 

Texas Roadhouse is always so yummy.  Although I think we were more excited about the adult beverages.
