William "Billy" D. Mays, Jr.

July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009

You can say what you want about Jacko, but the world lost a real icon today.....Billy Mays.

A day doesn't go by that Grandma J doesn't think about Billy Mays as she breaks out her Oxyclean or Orange Glo....and recently it's the Hercules Hooks that have been front and center as she decorates her new digs at the Spa.

And Really? Have you tried KABOOM?

Yes, Billy is an Icon with a uppercase I and he will be missed by anyone who drips food down the front of their shirts or clogs their toilets, has experienced the amazing products he invented.

RIP Billy Mays, Grandma J will miss you.

On a happier note!

It's Baby Girl's Birthday!

That's right, once again, Grandma J's youngest child is celebrating a birthday. Baby Girl Lives in Colorado, and has a wonderful husband and two gorgeous guys....

.... who are getting ready for fun and action at Grandma J's come August. Can you say P.A.R.T.Y?

Happy Birthday Kelly, I love you!

I know I owe you all a movie review.....it's coming!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACHY!

Seven Isn't Just seven.....

When your name is Zachy

Today is my grandson Zachy's birthday! Zachy lives in Colorado. He is seven today....and being seven means you were born in the year 2002.

Which is the year of the Horse in Chinese checkers

I remember Zachy's second birthday....it was at a jump bounce house. He was so adorable, and we had a blast.

I don't get to see Zachy as much as I'd like....but when I was in Colorado last year, we spent the day at an arcade. We played and we played until.....

.....we had enough coupons for swords! Sword pictures are valuable...even when your grandma has a bad camera and can't take decent pictures.

Lordy, lordy, can you believe Zachy was the sword pirate even when he was four?

He and his brother Ty were prepared to take on the villains at The Pirates Dinner Theatre.

I love you Zach! I can't wait for Spring Break so we can go to Buckskin Joe, and Boondocks.

And...do you want to know what I like the most about Zachy? He calls me Grandma DeLuxe!!
