Family Time

I had a wonderful day yesterday. A quick shop, and I got to pick up a couple grand kids from school, since it was so close. We picked up some of the stuff they are moving and took a load 'home' with us.

My daughter had spent the day cooking a turkey dinner. We missed out on our Christmas dinner together and she had an extra turkey ~ we had Family time.

My little grand son took Sophia out my hand when I got there and the two of them were a team for the first half of our visit. He insisted Sophia had to go potty when I got there so we went outside together. I had asked him if he had a good day at school, and his response was "I'm having a great day Grama, my whole family is here." Melts your heart.

The second half of our visit Miss Sophia attached herself to my granddaughter. Them two have had a relationship for years..... I'm so proud of this young lady working so hard to graduate this year. She's an amazing artist, we see art school in her future. She came home with me and we hung out just the two of us. Haven't done that in a long time so it was pretty cool.

My oldest granddaughter was there for dinner as well, and that was really nice for me, I haven't seen her in ages.... Halloween I think it was. I always sleep better after I see her for myself. To know she's ok.

I've been promoted to GG. My great grandson has sooooo many smiles. He's teething so he wasn't the happiest little guy, but he was sure full of smiles. He spent his time trying to get to Sophia, he's so fascinated by the dog. He loves the animals. Goes crazy for the horses when he's here.

It was a really cool evening, something we haven't done in ages.

There's nothing like 'FAMILY TIME' be sure to enjoy every minute of it.

Time

It's it funny how sometimes, the minutes take forever to pass and other times, the hours fly by.

We know why that is ~ When your busy or enjoying yourself, your not watching the time.

~ When your waiting and thinking about being somewhere else, or doing something your not fond of doing, your watching the time.

I remember when I first got pregnant with my oldest daughter we tried to imagine what it would be like 18 years later. ... Now here it is 40 years later.

I loved my kids and my happiest times were when it was just us doing something. Didn't really matter what it was. Whether it was a drive to someplace we never been or watching a movie together. I miss the togetherness. We used to be really close, and Time flew ~

Now it seems like forever between visits. Grand kids grow so much! from one visit to the next. Feel like I'm missing out sometimes. Then I remember the hard parts of parenthood. Grama, is a nice place to be.

Things change over time.

Laws that were not even in existence then, are strongly enforced now.

Seat belts. 

How many remember growing up in the back seat of the car, facing the rear and playing on the back dash while dad was driving. The seat belts? I don't believe were visible. If they were even in the backseat of the car.

Smoking in public.

You used to see people smoking cigarettes everywhere. In the grocery store no less. Now, you need to be 25 feet away from the entrance of the building.

Sometimes, we run out of time...

I've noticed I missed a few days blogging .. My time has gotten away on me. My left arm and side haven't been doing as well as could be, so I've spent a lot of time, resting or at least trying to. It's been just over 4 weeks with 6 more to go on 'restrictions'. My Helpers kind of disappeared after Christmas for the most part, so I've been doing things I probably shouldn't be, a lot more than I should be.

Tonight was a tough one. My horse's feet are a bit challenging in wet weather, they have to be cleaned daily. The goats feet haven't been trimmed in I can't remember {Where does the time go?} So I spent TIME in the barn, catching up on taking care of things, and tonight while brushing Star's tail, I noticed shedding has begun. 

That means....

SPRINGTIME is coming soon!

I can't wait for the weather to warm up and the days to get brighter and last longer. It's about time I close for now, things to do before the nights over.
