If there’s one thing I like, it’s fruit. And cookies. And food really…. But… Putting fruit on a sugar cookie with a “sauce” layer… and calling it a pizza? I’m down for that! Seriously! When my mom was pregnant with me, I guess she ate a quart of strawberries and a tub of cool whip…
Sometimes I have bad days {personal life & work related}.Always I remember that God will get me through this & so will my husband. So does my family. Sometimes I wonder why I tried to do everything in the right order {high school, college, marriage, etc} and I feel like I get punished while others…
Better late than never, right? I guess taking a week off from blogging last month didn’t help and then needing to blog like 5 times per day to either keep up or get caught up… whew! So we’re going to learn about Memorial Day Weekend today, the first day of July because that’s how I…
Over the weekend hubby and my dad worked on the tractor and then drove it to my MIL’s house so they could knock down some annoying trees and actually get the field ready for bailing. Do you know what keeps you from being able to brush hog?This isn’t a trick question…Answer: Flat Tire. And I…
Yeah so I’m not sure there is any rhyme or reason to this post… So bare with me (or bear if you’d like). 1. Big Red Truck died. Prince Charming’s truck had some major piece go out and it was getting harder and harder to start so I told him to get the piece to…
I really think in my former life I lived on a coast, in a house right on the beach. Knowing me it would either be the Gulf or the Atlantic or maybe Hawaii. I can sure tell you though, when I came in to this life, I got rid of any ability to tan. Yeah…
I'm sorry you lost someone you were so close too, but I love hearing your family stories!
You are so right! The Youngun is with her Granny Bob and Pop Pop right now. She loves to spend time with them, and I'd never stop her from going, even if I wish she'd stay home a little bit more. I still miss my grandparents!
She sounds like she was a wonderful person, and I'm sure she knew how much she was loved by you. What a lovely, sad story…and you're absolutely right; we do need to show our grandparents our love before it's too late. I'll spend the rest of my life regretting I wasn't a better grandchild to my grandparents.
Honestly – if I paid for my sisters education and she did that, I'd kill her! I do love her story – one day I'll share my grandmother's story, its a very hard but inspiring one!
Thanks for reminding us how important family is!
She sounds like a wonderful lady , And I be she was proud of you and the relationship you two had
I know what you mean about being grateful for all the time you knew your grandmother-I was the oldest grandkid, and was 17 when Pappy died. I have more memories than all the other kids, and it makes me sad in a way. Because they didn't get to have as much time… but I'm so grateful I did. I wish John could have met him too. It's hard losing grandparents.
What a wonderful post! She sounds like a special lady and she was fortunate that she had someone like you as a grandchild to appreciate her so much as well. 🙂
