Hello Girls, I hope all of you had a GREAT weekend...Now I will be taking a Blog break...
As I will be tied up....
My Grand son Jacob at Fort Hood Texas with his 2 sons...The newest one is Issac and he was born Sept 22 and Jeremiah is 15 months old...Jacob been a busy boy in the Army ha ha!! Don't they look sweet all taking a break.... 
Now next week is also my Blog Birthday...I will be 2 years year just feel like a hundred ha ha!! Any way I hope to be home by that time as I do have something special to give to one of my loyal followers because without you I would not have made it to two...You guys are the best that will come by my silly blog that has no rhyme or reason to it...I never have fitted into a niche yet in blog land...I'm not a decorating blog, a DIY blog,Gardening blog, or a Foodie blog, I just talk about my life and every now and then will toss in an antique or two and give you abit of a history lesson on it...I started this blog mostly for my children and grand children...
And you guys have no idea how surprise I was when I did my very first post 2 years ago and had
27 comments on it...It also opened up a whole new world to me and I have got to meet so many caring and sharing women I have met women that I will be friends with until I die...Just how cool is this wonderful world of blogging...
I have come here on days when I have been down and had health issues so many have just lifted up my spirits, I have seen so much wonderful inspirations in blog land, I have gotten to look inside your homes and yours hearts...
I have cried with you, prayed with you, felted your pain, and even laughed with you and you with me...You guys really are the BEST...It's like you have all became a family to me and just accepted me for who I am. Blog land has no age barrier...

A BIG THANK YOU!! from the moon and back...
This is my youngest Daughter Dawna she is my pride and joy and she will be having surgery this Wednesday and I will be going to Minden, NV to stay and take care of her...And I will not be blogging while I'm there...Family is always first with me and Blogging is my hobby...I have so little time with my family any more and when I'm on vacation or with them I like to spend all my time with just them, like I have always said "Life is like a roll of toilet paper and the closer it gets to the end the faster it goes"
Dawna was here Saturday night and I got to take a picture of her and her grandson Landen James...Too sweet for words...All 3 0f my daughters are now Grandma them selves...God has really blessed me to see this great new generation in my family...30 years ago I got cervix and uthera cancer and all I asked God was to Please let me live to see my daughters raised and be with them...
15 years ago I got Ovarian Cancer and again I called on God and asked him to Please let me live to see my Grandchildren raised and God heard me once again...Now I'm getting to see all these great grand babies...How great can life be??
And How Blessed can one women get....
And How Blessed can one women get....
Now I have been working on a few things around my house that I will sharing with you when I get home...
Just one of my newest treasure's I found at the swap meet yesterday...Oh this looks so pretty in my kitchen...
And girls speaking of Kitchens, don't forget that Shelia at "Note Songs" will be having her kitchen party on the 13th of course all of you know in Blog land that really means the night of the twelve ha ha!! I hate missing out of this fun party...So girls get those counter's cleaned and shine the sink and join in..and have some fun...
And one last thought they say you are what you eat...will I think I better give up garlic now ha ha!!I hope all of you have a GREAT week and if you could say a little prayer for my Dawna...
Love ya to the moon and back...See you next week...
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

first G, my prayers are going out for dear daughter! The pictures of your family are beyond precious, you are truly blessed sweetie. Have a good time with your family and a nice relaxing break from the computer! Love ya G! xoxoxo
Well Gloria, the feeling is mutual. You are one of the dearest people I've ever "met" and I love you to the moon and back too. You truly are blessed to have such a lovely family. I was hoping that you were coming out to Ft. Hood - that's just a hop and a skip from me. But I'm glad you'll be there for your baby girl, will definitely keep her in my prayers. Hugs, Kat
Here's hoping and praying that Dawna does well, and heals fast. Aren't we fortunate to grow old? - I can't believe it myself. I never thought I would be so blessed. Looking forward to your return. Sally
Ok Gloria,
I am laughing hysterically at that last pic. Oh man, am I going to stop the garlic! hehe.
Your grandbabies are all so gorgeous!
I love each and every pic!
And I am so happy you started blogging and I found you as a friend!
Big Hugs and enjoy your trip!

I'm going to miss you while you are gone, sweet lady {and Blogland will be a little less funny!}, but I know that family is Number 1 with you. Prayers going out to Dawna!
I love seeing pictures of your family and of course all of your great finds, I love the sugar bowl!
Take care and have a good visit with your family!

I had to laugh at "Courtney's" statement "you crack me up!" Yeah..well..I think you just cracked all of us up, Gloria.
FUNNY..you am a funny gal!
Have a nice break, my friend. I am totally understanding...totally!!

I will be back to catch up on your posts but right now I just wanted to invite you to my birthday party on my blog...get ready to do the jitterbug:-) xoxo
You pulling back too, Gloria? I know what you mean, girl friend. Blogging takes soo much time.
But FIRST, you must come see what I said about you on my post.
PS You KNOW that I ❤ that blue and white soup tureen.
Oh Gloria, you brought tears to my eyes..tears of joy on all accounts. Your beautiful family, and then all your trials and tribulations with your health. You are very blessed, and I am so happy for you! Enjoy your break. ANd congrats on two years, not sure if I will be saying that lol...it will be one year in January and I am whipped!
That garlic is hilarious!!!
Praying your daughter does well with her surgery! Enjoy your visit with them.
Katherine
I will be saying a prayer for Dawna, Gloria. You have a precious family. Thanks also for praying for my mom and it worked cause she just got out of ICU today and I know she is going to be fine. A 92 year old woman falling from a truck and wounding her head open but not a single fracture. Thanks for that! Take care my friend...Christine
Just when I know what I want to say in my comment you throw in a doozie of a photo and leave me speechless!
Big hugs to you and the family!
Dawn
Hi Sis...
Just got your sweet note! So happy to hear from you and that all went well with Dawna's surgery! That's such a relief!!! Now, we just need to get her healed up and recovered! I'll be praying, sweet Sis! Hope that all is going well for you too!
Big hugs and prayers, Sis!
Love ya,
Chari
Great post! And some of the photos were too much made me laugh with cheer. Thank You for sharing.....Julian
Oh sweet Gloria, you have had your hands full lately, all those beautiful babies and now a surgery in the family too. Girl, if things weren't so crazy around here I would hop on a plane and head out to help you. I will be calling you on Sunday afternoon, will that work? It's been way too long since we;ve chatted..... hugs and hugs ~lynne~
Yay, I found a link to you again! I hope you have a great time with your family on this trip. I'm the same way, family first. You're such a fighter and survivor and total inspiration to me. I didn't realize that you'd overcome so much with those cancers. May God keep you around for many, many years to come!
Cindy
Gloria,
You are such a blessing! I love visiting your blog and reading about your wonderful home and treasures, and all of the funny little things that you post. You are such a dear! I will pray for your daughter Dawna. Looking forward to your return!

I could have gone my entire life without seeing THAT moon shot -- thinking about stabbing a fork in my eye now...despite that I love antiques and table setting...congrats on surviving cancer, I have lived with a rare form of cancer since 1984...
