Mr. & Mrs. Jason Landry Doffee

Let me introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Jason Landry Doffee. They decided to get married at the courthouse. No fuss.
Morgan was waitressing in Hammond. Jason was in Robert for school. He ate at the restaurant, Morgan took his drink order but another waitress asked to wait on him because he was so cute. Morgan said okay. But it was Morgan, Jason came back to see.
Morgan called and told me that she was going to marry him one day.
Jason called his family and told them he had found the girl he was going to marry. His mom called, she had to meet Morgan. Jason had never said that about another girl. She must be special.
We have another grandson. First time he came to visit he fit right in. One of the family.
Jason bought a house in AL, but I am working on them. His family all live within a few miles of each other. So I have a tough job ahead of me.
He works offshore for Shell Oil, he leaves out of Amelia, LA. Save 4 hours driving time if they would move to BR and Morgan and the baby would be closer to their grandma. Hint! Hint!

Twin Living Christmas Trees 2008

We were taking Adis to hear the music and the grandbabies tagged along.
The pictures due not do justice to the performance. There were actors on the floor, an orchestra in the pit and the singers went all the way to the ceiling. Colored lights coordinated to the music. It was beautiful, both singing and acting.
We went on Sunday afternoon, then went to supper.

Little Morgan or Little Jason

Yes, this is the first picture of our new great-grandbaby. Morgan and Jason are blessing us with this little bundle in August. They live in Foley, AL, east of Mobile, but I am working on them.
Jason works offshore, leaves out of Amelia, LA every two weeks. He would shorten his drive by four hours. More time at home with the family. I am not giving up.
Morgan's aunt has predicted a little girl because Morgan had morning sickness 24 hours a day. Jason's brothers have had girls, so Morgan has decided the baby is a girl.
I'm sure you noticed the baby sucking her thumb, if she has not given it up by the time she starts college, she can go to therapy.
On February 3, 2009, I went with Morgan to the doctor. We heard ONE heartbeat. Only ONE baby. Why do I say that? Jason is the younger of twins. There are twins on his mom's and dad's side. So it is possible.
Do the great-grandparents care if the baby is a boy or girl? No. We pray for a healthy baby. Either one will be welcomed and loved.

Snow in Central, December 2008

You can see the headline in our paper. We were blanketed with 5 inches. We had snow on the ground for 5 days.
When it started we thought just a little snow, but it would not stop. The snow got so heavy you could hear the limbs breaking. You first heard a sound like a firecracker, then hear the limb hit the other limbs on the way to the ground. We still have dead limbs hanging in trees, one day they will fall.
On the first day Wayne left at 5:15 am to go to work, he came home at lunch before the roads were closed.
Donna was off that day but forgot to turn off her alarm clock. She was up at 5:30 taking pictures, as excited as when she was little. She was afraid I would miss the snow, when she woke me up the third time, I stayed up. We didn’t lose our electricity until the afternoon.
24,000 homes were without electricity for 2 ½ days. That included us. We went to bed with a pile of quilts, felt like we were back at my grandmother’s house. No heat in the bedrooms, only quilts so heavy you could not turn over.
First day the house was tolerable, each day got colder. The last night when we went to bed, the temperature inside was 55 degrees. Even the dogs were glad to go to bed at night, they were glad to be on the bed.
The town of Central is 7 ½ miles away, had electricity, we would drive there to get something hot to eat.
The work crews were back out trying to get the electricity going. Seemed like they never stopped, first the hurricane in September, followed by a snow storm in December. At least this time we did not have to worry about food spoiling.
Yes, it was pretty.
Donna and Michelle were in high school the last time we had a big snow. Morgan was in Mobile, she missed it all and was disappointed. Cacie and Cory were at Scott’s, they had fun. Michelle and her crew had a snow storm in March.
One of our neighbors had a Christmas tree as part of her decorations, you can say we had a ‘white Christmas’.
How do you like the ‘deerman’ instead of a snowman? Very imaginable.

Wayne and his children, Leighton and Taylor spent New Years Eve with us. Pawpaw and the kids made their trip to the fireworks stand. This is just some of them. Do you know how cold it was outside that night? It was COLD...
The next day was clean-up. With everyone helping, it didn't take long to clean-up the firecrackers, and since we were out there we picked up a few leaves. (JUST 6 BAGS)
We appreciated their help. Thank you.
