LITTLE BOYS.......ANTS, SNAILS AND PUPPY DOG TAILS....


This weekend we finally were able to see our grandson.  Sweet hubby and I have not seen him for over a month due to my foot being broken and the fact that we came down with some kind of horrible virus that lasted a little over three weeks.

Anyway, he spent the weekend with us and we had a blast.  Grandma wanted to treat him so I took him to Toys R Us.  You know......the toy store that has EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD THAT MAKES A SOUND OR LIGHTS UP!!!

Ok......so I asked him what he wanted to get; and he told me he wanted a new book.
I was very impressed that he would want a book out of everything he could have chosen.
"Yeah, Grandma, I want "The Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid".  "What", I said.  He repeated the same thing again.  Ok......I'm thinking, I know little boys are obsessed with bodily functions so maybe this book is out there.  How would I know??

We get to the store, he runs right to the book section............and this is what he finds!!!!


I thought I would pee my pants, I laughed so hard.   Oh.........how I LOVE my Grandson!!!

Blessings dear friends.....have a great week!!

    Oh he is a little doll and how funny. I know you and Gramps had the bestest time. I have a nine year old great grandson, Kane who favors your sweet boy and wonder if he also reads the diarrhea series:) Too funny and if you don't mind sharing..........what photo program do you use to get the round backgrounds on black? They are just stunning. Hugs, Mollye

    Too funny! I was thinking it must be a new Captain Underpants book or something... I love it! So adorable. He might not think it's so funny in about five years or so, but it's stilll hilarious!

    Have a wonderful week!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
