Ahh, the mountains – for a flat land, at or below sea level girl, I just can’t stop smiling as we drive or hike or sit out back. In the car, those curves require slowing down, the back roads require a sharp eye. Our… Continue Reading “Be prepared…”

Sometimes my grandsons just have to touch me. We can be playing trucks or train and suddenly my big-for-his-age four year old is in my lap, my growing-too-big two year old is putting my arm around him, and my too-heavy-to-lift one year old needs… Continue Reading “Get Close”

So, have I mentioned lately I don’t like change, the unexpected, surprises? I think I’m a slow learner. (Best not to mention things we don’t like.) All three of those things happened at once last week. I’m not alone, grandsons don’t like change either.… Continue Reading “Can’t Wait…”
