Is there anything Grandma's won't do for their grandchildren?

This was Tylers' 12th Birthday party,they needed another adult to drive a child in a go-kart,so ofcourse this grandma could not say No.

It was fun but those curves were scary!

I got lapped by everyone and 4 year old grandson said "grandmas' a slow poke"

100 miles of yard sales along the coast




We left home in 60 degree weather for the annual yard sale along the forgotten coast and ended up in 80 degree sunshine on the beach. What could be better !!! It was a wonderful day !

Labor Day and Birthday !

We had a very enjoyable week-end! As well as it being Labor Day it is also My Hubby's Birthday. Sunday we went out to dinner with our oldest daughter,SIL and grandchildren. Today we went for a long drive,the 2 of us and the dogs,it was a beautiful day for a drive,we rolled the windows down and enjoyed the sea breeze along the coast. I had already made his favorite pineapple upside down cake and hid it in the dishwasher (they never look in there)I left a pork roast cooking on low and when we got back home Tyler and Brittney were back from spending the weekend with their other grandma, so Brittney and I finished making the Birthday dinner,pulled pork sandwiches,baked beans,corn,deviled eggs,b.b.q. chips (His favorite)cake and ice cream sundaes.

Mixed Emotions


I have mixed emotions today. Tomorrow school starts back and my oldest grandson starts middle school.Where did the time go.It seems like yesterday that I was rocking him. I am not sure I am ready for this.But it will come and I will survive.

I am looking forward to this time of year.Soon the leaves will change and there will be pumpkin patches,fall festivals, cool brisk mornings to sit on the deck and have coffee.Many good things to look forward to.
