I'll be visiting all the blogs participating in NaBloPoMo today, so I thought a quick introduction post for new visitors, including a bit of catch-up for my current blogging friends, might be a good idea for today.
I'm Martha. I'm a native Floridian living just down the street from the beach on the SW coast of Florida - right in the area where hurricane Milton came ashore last year, but we'll save that story for another day. I've been blogging on and off since way back in 2003. I'm a widow. I have three grown children, two beautiful little granddaughters, and two more grandbabies on the way!
I'm currently a stay-at-home grandma, or Gamma as they call me, and it looks like I'll be staying home for quite a while at the rate the babies are coming. This old Gamma is going to be completely worn out.
My youngest son just got married on Halloween this past weekend. He got engaged last year, and they were in the process of planning a wedding for next Halloween - obviously, it's their favorite holiday. They had a little surprise along the way and decided to just go ahead and tie the knot with a small ceremony this year instead. Their baby girl is due on Christmas Day.
My other son and his wife are expecting their third baby in late June of next year. We don't know the due date or the gender yet, but my guess would be another girl.
My daughter, my oldest, is very content just being an aunt. She was completely traumatized after being required to bring home one of those Realcare babies when she was only in eighth grade. She decided then and there that she never wanted children of her own, and she's never changed her mind. She and her partner are living happily ever after with their five kitties.
That covers the basics and my family life at the moment. What's been happening with you and yours?
