Driving Lessons
ByNicoleI’m pretty sure I have a few more gray hairs… Remember a couple years ago when I was trying to teach Tbug how to drive a standard? I told her before she could get her driver’s license she had to be able to check the oil in the car (not change it, just check it),…
Baking Challenge – Checkerboard Cake
ByNicoleI’ve mentioned a few times that I challenged myself to the “cupcake” challenge this year. You know… the Food Network January/February 2017 cupcake for every month challenge. Then a couple weeks ago I was talking to the hubs and told him that I needed a challenge for next year. He laughed at me saying, “But…
A Little Dab of This, A Little Dash of That
ByNicoleSo I got on to catch up on my blogs and what was one of the coolest things I saw? Take a look: You see it right there?? Right there under Winners, Nicole J from MO… oh wait, hey that’s me! Woohooo I won! I never win 🙂 I signed up for a contest at…
Breakfast at Hardee’s
ByNicoleTwo weekends in a row Tbug has been with us on a Sunday morning. And oddly enough both Sunday mornings we ate breakfast at Hardees. It was on our way to where we were going both days. Please don’t tell my diet about this! Last weekend Tbug got the Biscuits & Gravy. Truthfully you can’t…
Top 15 Cities and States
ByNicoleThe other day I was reading a blog post. This just goes to show you that people misread things all the time. I read a sentence and thought it said that by 2040 70% of the population was going to be living in the 15 largest cities. So of course, I had to find out…
Girls Lunch Out
ByNicoleEarlier today my mom answered a text message I sent her and asked if Peanut and I wanted to have lunch with her. Now obviously I’m the only one who could actually eat with her, but Peanut can have a bottle, right? I had to run a scholarship application back in to the church so…
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. 🙂
