Holy mosquitoes, Batman

Another week at “Fun at Camp” has come and gone.  This year was a little different because Greg, Vanessa and Ella came and spent the entire week.  That meant a whole week enjoying my granddaughter.  She is getting so big and is walking, although tentatively.  She gets around so much faster crawling that I think [...]

Happy Birthday Ella Marie

It’s always amazing how quickly time passes when I look back, seems like I was just having babies.  Beautiful Ella was born one year ago today, early in the morning.  She was about one month early but her mom was on bed rest for the previous month, so she could have been much earlier.  They [...]

Time well spent

I got to spend yesterday afternoon with both of my children and beautiful Ella.  We were attending an open house to celebrate my nephew’s recent wedding.  It was good to see everyone together and reconnect with old friends that I haven’t seen in many years.  There was lots of wonderful and tasty snacks, along with [...]

My Ella fix

Yesterday Bill and I drove to MA to visit with Ella and her parents.   Her dad (and my son) Greg offered to keep her home from daycare for the day.  We arrived around noon and were able to spend the afternoon “babysitting” while Greg got some work done from home.
We fed her lunch and found [...]

What is a “blogiversary” anyway?

According to the online dictionary, there isn’t any such thing.  It does define “blog” as on online journal but that’s the extent of it.  However, just like the other blogs, I’m having an anniversary of my online journal.  In other words, I’m having a BLOGIVERSARY!
Unlike the other blogs, I’m not having any big giveaway.  First [...]

The good, the bad and the really ugly

Okay, I’ll start with the good.  Ella, my 8 month old granddaughter will be fine.
The bad news…one of the daycare workers fell while holding Ella and Ella’s femur was broken (that’s the big bone in the thigh).
Now, the ugly…the woman that was holding her never reported it or told anyone that it had happened.  Greg [...]

Photo op

I have already been out to shovel twice today and it is only 11:30.  I knew we were expecting sleet and freezing rain and I figured I would rather shovel light snow a couple of times rather than heavy, wet snow once.
I noticed that when I posted the photos of the butterflies, they weren’t “clickable”.  [...]

A productive day

I didn’t get any sewing done today, again, but I was productive. I returned home around noon after running errands in town. I had done some additional flower shopping earlier in the week and managed to get everything planted today. I planted the clematis earlier in the week and placed the new [...]

Welcome Ella

Ella Marie arrived four weeks early this morning at 12:36. She weighed 6# 9oz and stretched 18″. Of course, I think she is beautiful. Greg called this morning around 1:30 while I was working overtime to let me know that he was a new father. Doesn’t seem real!

Bill and I made [...]
