Hippy grandgirls and gramma...

Thursday after work I had a delightful time being with my grandgirls while Mommy went to a college class 90 miles away in Moorhead, MN. This will be a twice weekly occurrence until mid-December. (Warning: lots of photos of grandkids, but you can scroll through it like a flip book if you like!)

"Gramma, can we paiiiiint?" comes the plaintive, oft repeated request. Painting is the special privilege when gramma comes to visit and they never tire of it. :)






 
They requested removal of sweaters because they were too hot. Hence the "hippy" remark in the title of this post. Don't get me wrong, my daughter loves the whole idea of hippyness, as does her mom. :)




This is what Gramma did to the popcorn, so...

 
we had peanut butter crackers instead.

Dd has a wall full of family photos taken recently.


 
 Adam, Micah and baby #3.

 
 Wow, Hazel stood still for a minute!
As most of you know, my husband went to Heaven about a year ago. Someone said of this photo that it looks like Audrey is holding her Grampa's hand. I like that.


I let each of the girls draw in my Drawing Your Life book. They were going through the contents of my purse. Always a favorite activity!

Time out to eat apples and watch some TV!
 
And now, some old school selfies!! I'm looking for a new profile picture. As soon as I decide which one is the funniest! :)



 
It's a weekend off. Such a blessing! It's after 1:00 p.m. and I haven't even turned the television on once! I've been doing a lot of reading and meditating on scripture and also reading some books. I'm thinking about doing some drawing and painting and, sometime this weekend, looking over my accounts and figuring out more of a budget.

The situation with my step-daughter mentioned in the last post is resolving itself quickly. Well, I should say God is working! She is now praying for her ex-boyfriend that he will come to know God and find direction for his life, whether they get back together or not. We'll take it one day at a time.

I've begun reading "My Cape Cod" by Gladys Taber as my breakroom book. It works well for that. It should only take me a year to finish it, ha, ha!

Hope you're all having a dandy weekend. Much shalom to you and yours!
