A VERY LONG WEEK

"Everyday is a new beginning, 
Take a deep breath, smile and 
start again."

Oh my goodness, between Emerson moving
to Germany with my daughter and son in love,
and then having issues with not being able to
upload photos it has been a very long week.
We won't even go into the issues I had when
I tried to start a new blog, argh! Thank goodness
I still have Google Chrome on my computer
besides Windows 10 so I am back in my space. :)

Emerson is now in Germany and they are loving
it.  I miss her so much. Thank you for the phone
calls and emails checking on me, you are the best!

I have been keeping busy to pass the time...

I did a lot of house loving [I clean when I am upset]

I finished knitting a shawl [and started a hat]

I am reading a new book [it's okay, not great, but okay]

I am doing a little Bible Journaling  [thank you Stephanie]

Baking cakes [thank you Karen]

And watching the above video over and over and over....

I hope your weekend is all that  you need it to be.

Much love,
Tracey

WEEKENDING: GRANDPARENTING

Nobody can do for little children
what grandparents do. Grandparents
sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives
of little children.

My weekending started Friday
with a trip to pick up Emerson
for the weekend while her parents
traveled to Florida for an Army
retreat.
We have run races and dug for
dinosaur bones, baked cookies,
and completed lots of crafts, read
dozens of Christmas books,
with this one topping the list.
We sorted buttons and finally
decided on the sparkly ones
for her mom's cardigan, and
I think we used a whole tree's
worth of paper with the amount
of drawing we did.
We told silly knock, knock jokes
and laughed, laughed, laughed.
I received numerous hugs and
gave back just as many.
She is back home now and I
am sorry the weekend is over.
