Grandma Lessons

A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween. ~Erma Bombeck

Between watching my mom and reading Erma Bombeck I think I'm catching on to this Grandma thing.

 

A Circle of Love and Strength

"Our family is a circle of love and strength,

with every birth and every union,

the circle grows.

Every joy shared adds more love.

Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger."

I've often heard camping was a bonding time.  So true. 

You see things you thought you would never see.

Aaron & Becky working together.

A five-year-old quoting his mother to his grandma. 

"If you keep trying you'll get better. 

That's what my mommy says."

Cousins putting their pyromania tendencies to good work....coffee in the morning.

A brother and sister working together to feed a poor starving dog.

The mommy gets served breakfast from the daddy.

I love sitting around a campfire drinking coffee, 

watching my family bond.

It's a Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood

My neighbor, Norah smelled the Norwegian kringla baking and came over to have coffee with me this morning.  She also brought her mom, Reagan & Tanka (her grandpa, my brother) with her. My friend Rosalie and I were enjoying this hot summer morning on my back porch and it was a delight to have them join us.
