Days like this.




You just gotta love days like this.

I have one little granddaughter that writes me letters and draws me the most beautiful pictures. I have them all over, some in the photo albums, some on the wall and some in with all the special treasures I collect.

I have a grandson and granddaughter that frequently tell their mom they miss Grama and want to see me..... I got a call this evening asking if I would mind if they hung out with me for a few hours, while mom took care of some stuff... { I don't like it called baby sitting. It's my grandchildren ~ we hang out!.} So I have company tonight. The baby chicks are the most entertaining, better than a TV screen. The first hour was nothing but us watching the chicks. Baby girl is so tired, now crashed out and little man is sitting here watching a movie with me. Tells me he's waiting for mom.

I got another call earlier. Another grandson. "Hi Grama, I'm going to come over this weekend and stay with you". " Ok buddy, sounds good". "Love you, bye". and he hangs up. A few minutes later the phone rings again. "Hi Grama, I just wanted to let you know I'm coming Friday and going to go home on Sunday. Love you, bye". The phone goes dead before I get a chance to say anything. All I can do is chuckle and smile.

They don't ask. They tell me and that's okay. They are my grand-kids, they know its always a go.

You just gotta love days like this.

Being a mom was pretty cool. I loved my kids and had a blast with them. But, being a Grama..... oh ya, it's so much more. Each one of them melts my heart. I enjoy every minute they drive me crazy too.

Leap Year

We get an extra day this month! Which is really nice considering this year is flying by fast! Papa's birthday is the 28th, really close! People born on February 29th, technically only get a Birthday every 4 years. How many folks even know why we have leap year and add an extra day? It's kind of interesting how it works. I added the link, check it out.

The peeps are having a hard time this year, we've lost a few. It's so super cold.... a simple breeze from opening the door around here makes you feel like frost is in the air. Mind you the sun is staying out later and later every day.. It has to be warming up a little bit, the bulbs are starting to pop up and you can almost see colors.

This high wind and horrible rain at night is getting so old. My house is pretty heavy and doesn't usually move in the wind. Lately, it's been rocking and making me wonder if I have gone a float. Check outside every now and again and wonder if this is how Noah felt when the rains came for 40 days and 40 nights.

We finally had a few nice days and the weather controllers, went up in planes, dropping capsules in the clouds to make it rain again? Like we really needed it. I'm so hoping for a long dry summer. I can't wait to open the windows and doors and let the fresh air in. The house is always so stagnant after winter. And dang it, it's cold!

2 more weeks!! I have to go in for more X rays and see the doctor here in 2 weeks.... And hopefully all my fractured and broken bones will be healed, without too many complications. So I can get the green light from my doctor to start riding again. Just in time for summer. I just need to find a new/old truck, so I have something to pull the horse trailer.

So if you know of any one selling an old reliable truck let me know.
Well, I have a lot to do before the end of the month. Thankfully I have this extra day to do it.

Stay dry!
