Coming soon......

I was left with no choice.  I held off as long as I could.
A gramma's gotta do what a gramma's gotta do.
GIRL ?????

BOY ?????

Waiting for the arrival of our new grandbaby. We have no idea what the gender.
Mommy and daddy  want to be surprised and not find out.
Both of these just had to come home with me.

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.

Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
I've got these songs running through my mind today.
Be thankful you cannot hear me singing them.
 I  LOVE a rainy day.
When the sunshine decides to take the day off outside.

I bring the sunshine indoors..
A big bowl of citrus-y sunshine.
Picked by my daugher in love from her uncle's tree.
Now if that doesn't just scream SUN.
Excuse me while I go get my sunglasses.
Enjoy your rainy day Saturday.

Baby Steps

I started making these little stepping stones when Micah was a baby and am
I happy I did.  What a fun way to measure time and growth and
add some color to my garden.  He added the stones or (jewels) as he call them.
When I look at them they make me smile and bring back the memories
of us making them together.   I love each one.

He refused to put his hands or feet in the cement.
So I let him poke holes in it with a popsicle stick.
First he had to eat the popsicle.

STEPPING STONES
This row of stepping stones decorate my garden
The little hands and feet that are etched in cement
decorate my life and add such beauty to it.
Look how cute they look all in a row.

Things that make me smile.

Cheerful eye candy for a Monday.
I smile when I see these cute cupcake papers.

Seeing this happy flower wreath on my front door makes me smile.

A twirly spinning bunny  makes me grin a little.

A big cement bunny rabbit with a pot full of eggs is very cheerful.
I hope your Monday is full of things that bring a smile to your face.
A joyful heart is good for the soul.

Who Knew?

I used this drainer when I would hand wash a few dishes.
I was looking for a convenient way to store the few
cookbooks that I use the most.  I thought of this idea. It
works great and now they are so easy to get to without
digging through the cupboard to find them.
Now  what do I do with the dishes that went in here?

Giant Bugs and a 4 year old.

McDonalds has been "bugged".  
Gramma, how do you spell bee.
B-E-E

This giant spider came along with us to McDonalds.

This giant scorpion came along also.  We fed him french fries.

After lunch we walked to the park and dug for bugs.
That thing in his hand is a bug vacuum.  When he finds one
he sucks it up in the vacumm to take it home.
He dug and dug, but we came home bugless.

He drew a centipede on my patio.
The boy really L O V E S bugs.
and I really  L O V E that boy.
