In other news.....


I have lots of things to share about our weekend, but first I'm going to post about two things I've had on the back burner for a while.  


First off, some of you may remember when I posted about the sale of this house back in 2017.   I looked it up recently and saw that someone had paid $185,000 for it!  This is what I wrote then:




I had fun watching the work being done to it over the next couple of years.  

And now it's on the market again - this time for $700,000!!  


I don't know if this link will work here or not, but the pictures of the interior are AMAZING!!!





The other thing I've been wanting to tell you few faithful readers of mine - we have a granddaughter who will be turning a year old this week, and I've never mentioned her.  

Two Christmases ago at our family fondue, Frank (Destiny's dad) introduced us to his girlfriend Lisa Marie.  Then he told us they'd be having a baby in April.  We were quite surprised. 

RaeLynn was born on April 25th. 





 We met her on Memorial Day.  She's an adorable little red-head!





At Elizer's birthday party in August we again had a lot of fun getting to know her better. 




Pictured below are Frank and Lisa Marie with RaeLynn, and J'von is in the corner. 



Big sister Alaya is a baby charmer!



Elizer holding his auntie, haha!  They were SO CUTE together.



It pained me to not be allowed to post the above pictures.  But there were difficult relationships to consider, and it was a long time until either Frank or Lisa Marie shared about her on social media.  

Relationships still are not easy.  Both Frank and Lisa Marie have older children, and bringing two households together is difficult.  So they live separately but are friendly and share parenting of this beautiful little girl.  She is dearly cherished especially by Lisa Marie's older children.  I really, really like Lisa Marie.

And here is the picture she posted of RaeLynn last week.  She has absolutely gorgeous red curls!! 


I do hope we'll get to see her again before too long.
