Tiny Bubbles, make me happy












Ok maybe it's not the bubbles that were making me happy this evening.
Papa and I had the kids the other night and snapped a few pictures, we were out on the back porch playing with the bubble machine. I know, how lazy is it that we have a machine to blow bubbles with but hey when you are my age anything to make it easier , plus Nathan keeps dumping the other ones , we kind of get a two for one deal with it as the kats enjoy chasing them almost as much as the babies. By the way notice what Sam has in her hand, she is getting indoctrinated early to golf, but to tell the truth she like Nathan when he was that small goes straight for the golf club and ball if she can, maybe we will get a "Tiger" yet. These babies are the light of my life, I can hardly go a day and not see them, sometimes Helen will say "Mom it's only been a day" but to a grandparent it seems like 10. I suppose one day when they are tearing thru the house like crazy little monkeys I will be wanting it to be 10 but can't imagine that right now.














Grow Up

This is in response to Aunt Carol's questioned posed to us from her blog on what we wanted to do when we grew up.

First and foremost I wanted to be a Mommie, I can remember as young as 4 or 5 yrs old out on our big ole front porch arranging furniture and getting the "house" in order for my baby (s) that never wained I to this day love being a mom and grandmother even more because I can send them home when I get tired...couldn't do that a few years ago .
Next I always wanted to travel, thank you Mom and Dad, my parents were big travellers, even if it was just throwing us kids in the station wagaon and camping out a couple days, it was always a grand adventure, after my father passed on my Mom kept doing it...bless her heart now that I am grown I can just begin to appreciate all she did for us all on her OWN, she was a tiny little woman but wow what a big spirit she had. I certainly have that spirit of adventure, I have been all over the world and am not done yet !
I wanted to be a teacher, it never happened professionally but I have been an LVA volunteer, and able to give lesson's at church and of course now I have the Activity Day girls, I think I am more than happy NOT being a teacher..no offense to any of you teachers out there. It's just not for me, I don't have the patience for it.
I thought I would love to have a small cafe and serve my homemade food, I LOVE to cook and people seem to enjoy it so that has not been crossed off my grown up list am just waiting for some money to fall from the sky into my lap.

Anyone else want to share what they want to do when they grow up ?
