Tuesday Time to Tackle: Day with the Granddaughter!

Today I got to spend much of the day with my happy granddaughter.  We hung out together while her mom had a doctor's appointment, then spent some time grocery shopping.  She's such an easy-going girl and rarely fusses. 
 
I failed to take my camera (bad Grandma!), so you'll just have to take my word that we had a great time.  I read  Brown Bear, Brown Bear to my granddaughter, and I was delighted that she sat through two readings of it, and seemed to enjoy the story.  

My blog posts don't occur as frequently and regularly as in the past, and I'm still trying to figure out if I want to make a schedule change.  I will continue each weekend to participate in the Ten Things of Thankful Blog Hop--please join me!--but will take some days off sometime during each week.  If I ever decide on a fixed plan, I will let you know.  :-)

    Bad Grandma! NO pictures?!! Please think of this next time you have her over.... Although quality-time with a little girl is always more important than making pictures of her...

    Having the same problem with the blogging routine. Hard to get a regular time to blog when you're busy with other things, isn't it?! Well, even if you just blog once a week, that's just fine. Life is more important. Blogging is just a happy extra. Thank you for visiting my blog though. You are my only faithfull reader left I think.... Lost the rest during all those silent days/weeks. Ah well, there are worse things.... Have great week!

    Sounds like a lovely time with your granddaughter.
    I haven't posted much myself lately. Life is just too busy sometimes.

    I can't help but reprimand you for the lack of photos but I look forward to seeing them soon! Please? Your day with your granddaughter sounds like the perfect day to me and one I have enjoyed often with Amara -- and 9 years later those days are even better! You have so much fun in your future!

    Sounds like you had a great day with your grand-daughter. Savor the moments you share and store them in your heart because little ones grow up so quickly.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
