"The Wrinkle's"

You know how kids say the darnest things!
I remember whenever one of our
children would say something cute
we'd both look at each other
and say, "You need to write that in your
journal!"
 
So, I'm writing this in my journal before I
forget it.
 
Our youngest grandchild , Nora , came for a
visit this week-end. (with her family)
Nora (unfortunately) doesn't see
us enough to feel comfortable with us
holding her.(stranger danger)
So, as her mommy was fixing us a delicous
breakfast I was holding her facing away from me so she didn't know who was holding her. She did fine for awhile and then started crying.
Her big sister Britton said, "She must have seen the wrinkled hands and knew it wasn't her mommy." Oh, the openedness of children!
 
It reminded me of a book I used to read my children called "The Wrinkle's".
A story about some children visiting their
grandparents  whom they called the
wrinkle's!

    Nora will soon get to know and love the wrinkled hands that hold her so gently, just like big sister Britton does.

    I'm sure my kids are guilty of a few of those comments themselves. They say similar things to me. :)

    Children say it like it is. My son told me that they were stumped about something and their six year old said 'Call Nana. She's been around a loooong time and she'll know the answer.'

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
