Fun with my Grand!

I am in southern Washington state taking care of my grand while his parents went away for the weekend.  We have had some fun adventures and also did a little craft project to give his parents, did one for me too!
                                   

Great idea from Pinterest.  Using art board, decide what color to use as background, paint and let dry. Next put 'blobs' of paint on a plate and do one foot at a time, as you can see the feet are placed with outside edges together. I let dry overnight, then with a sharpie drew the body and antennae. So simple - other than trying to hold a toddler (16 months) and keeping the paint from getting everywhere!

Project Monday

Projects on hold....


Sandwiched in

It is said that my age folks are called the 'sandwich generation'. Those that care for children and their parents. 
 Since my kids are grown and gone...

...I suppose it's an 'open-faced' sandwich. 
 Today I sit with my mother as we sit waiting for my father who is getting prepped for open heart surgery tomorrow.  
A man, who by looking at him, is the picture of health and still walks 4 miles 4-5 days per week.  A man that by virtue of getting older has valves that leak.

I thought I would share with you the next few days some bloggers that have interesting things to share and beautiful designs to envy.  First up, my very good friend Lisa Porter, a jewel and creative I met (online and in person) through this crazy world we call blogland!

Visit her here...you will be delighted in what you see!

A Bit of Nostalgia and a Birthday Wish

Today is my son Geoff's 24th birthday. I don't know why I always want to go back and look at baby pictures, maybe it's to remind me the kids really were that small!
I must say I miss - at times -  being the 'snack queen, the entertainment guide and referee'. Children and puppies, what could be better? Like most younger siblings, pictures without the others' are almost non existent.
By God's grace and mercy over the times I failed miserably at being 'mom', he has grown to be a fine young man. A kind, considerate and patient man whose precious girlfriend Mary is a jewel of a young woman.
Happy Birthday Geoff...we love you!

Time Passes Quickly


It seems like only moments ago my firstborn son came into this world.  This little boy full of energy and everything "boy" changed my (and his Dads') world completely. Over the years there would be a few battles, lots of laughter, some tears and loads of fun.  Today he is 24 and such a fine young man, I am so very blessed.
Happy Birthday, Greg, I love you.

Kenai! My Marley!

On a different note today....

Did you see "Marley and Me?" Holy Cow, did I laugh and cry my socks off. If you have ever owned a Laborador then I am sure you can commiserate. The totally out of control, lick you to death, trying to find some manners somewhere, lovable "person" (you know they are people!).

Our Kenai (kee nye) came to our family when he was 2 months old - a Cajun boy - we lived in New Orleans then.


















This is Kenai at 3 months old when our son
Geoff was 8. There was so much mischief
between these two.


















Geoff and Kenai again here, this time in Miami.
Geoff 12, Kenai 4. My, how he had grown! This
was the time in his life that I would have the kids
in the car to go to school and he would get out and
I would have to chase him all over the neighborhood.....oy.

















Such a good boy "posing" to have his picture
taken in the woods in Sitka, Alaska. By the way,
the name "Kenai" is taken after a peninsula in
Alaska a bit east of Anchorage.














Here he is in Asheville, NC, visiting his "grandma"
this past Spring. We had to graciously send him to
doggy heaven a few months ago, it was the most
difficult thing I have had to do so far in my 52 years.

My new friend Fifi inspired me on her post to pay
tribute to our sweet boy....thank you Fifi!
Please be sure to visit Fifi's blog and look at her
beautiful artwork.

Blessings...
