Beautiful Baby Boy – Welcome Grandbaby #7!
In case you missed the announcement on my Facebook page, my seventh grandchild was born this last week. He was a big boy, weighing in at 9 lbs. 5 ounces, but he’s perfect in every way. He was trying to convince me that his life, so far, had been hard, but I wasn’t […]

Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real – My Day Out With a Five Year Old
My beloved, late mother-in-love established a tradition of taking her grandchildren out “birthday shopping” for their birthdays in lieu of bringing a gift for them to their parties.

Copper’s Day Off – In Which We Bowl and Visit an Arcade
One of Copper’s Christmas gifts this year was a Groupon for bowling. It included an hour and a half of bowling, snack bar dollars and tokens for the Arcade. He’d mentioned wanting to take everyone bowling sometime, and we thought that the Groupon was a good fit. We had a great time […]

Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real – May 31, 2012
PRETTY – This Lavender Trumpet Vine was accidentally mowed down a few years ago. Two years later, it put up new growth, and it’s now doing a grand job of growing and climbing to cover the not-so-pretty chain link fence around our back yard. HAPPY – Dani is happily spooning the chocolate whipped […]

Copper’s Day Off – My Baby Is Thirteen Edition
My husband declined the opportunity for overtime today because we had a birthday to celebrate. I love my kids’ birthdays. I always have! Celebrating their special day, taking them out to the restaurant of their choice for dinner (or lunch, as we did today), inviting extended family in, and watching them blow out the candles […]

The Roar of the Sea
One of my favorite worship songs is Shout to the Lord. I am always struck by the line, “Mountains bow down and the sea will roar at the sound of Your Name”. All of Creation knows to praise the Creator! The roar of the sea, though quite loud, has always been a […]

Special Guest Today @Library Day at Grandma’s House
Thursday is Library Day at Grandma’s House. Today, though, we had a special guest for our read aloud time, and she brought her favorite picture book from her own childhood to share with us. What a treat!! Our special guest was Grandma Meg. We were doubly thrilled because she came in time […]

Fort Building In The Home
Copper says that I need to be sure that I’m “real” with you all on my blog. Afterall, it is unrealistic to think that my home is always in order, and that my little ducks are always all in a row. You know what? Much as that sounds like the ideal, it’s really not the […]
