Another rainy day...

It feels like we had to drive all the way down to Florida just to enjoy a bit of sun.  We sure have not seen much of its shiny face between the trip back in April and now.  An old Vermontism: "Hope it don't hurt the rhubarb."  Let me tell ya, my rhubarb has turned into a mutant monster plant.  I'm afraid to go near it.

My son and I are off to visit my daughter and the grand children.  We are attempting to pull off a fast one by bringing Kristen back for a little-brother-less week with Grandma.  He will get his turn when she goes to day camp.  We have a shopping trip planned--that's her birthday present--and I have sewing and craft projects lined up.  We'll see how this experiment goes.

My daughter did want assurance that I would still take the two together on occasion.  That will be her birthday present this year.
Part of my birthday present--downtown Savannah.
If I remember correctly, this was once the Coca Cola plant.

  1. I like the visit with one at a time. Makes for a nicer time being able to focus on one food preference and one activity interest at a time.

  2. Yes, we in the NE, are beginning *to-mold-around-the-edges*... And in west TX, they are desperate for rain. -sigh-

    Good birthday present for daughter, a childless weekend. :-)))))))))))))

  3. My twin granddaughters always arrive as a pair. I suspect they prefer it that way, since they specify sharing a bedroom at our house rather than having separate spaces. They're arriving tomorrow. We have garden activities planned and hope that one of them will decide she'd rather read while the other helps.

  4. Seems the summer holidays are here. Have fun and hope the sun comes out. We've had similar weather.

  5. One on one is always special. Everyone enjoys being the center of attention.
    Careful of the rhubarb. When my Malabar Spinach gets going, I am a little afraid of it also.

  6. It's nice for them to be on their own sometimes, both for them and for you.

  7. I think the one on one time is a great idea. Brothers and sisters sometimes have to accept that they can't do everything together. Enjoy the time with your granddaughter!

  8. I've found that when I have two or more of my grandchildren together, they tend to play with each other instead of with me! *pout* So I think one on one is great!

  10. Hi Olga, So...I guess there won't be any rhubarb pie anytime soon? We sometimes take our older Grands on separate "girl" and "boy" play dates - (I take the girls individually - Pop Pop the boys). They like the undivided attention. However, when they sleep over, they like to be together.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
