Good morning...
Enjoying my first coffee. I thought I posted yesterday, but I guess I didn't.
Cyn, I loved your post about wearing your Mom's boots and her gift to you, staying connected, checking up, celebrating life events and being joyful. My Mother was like that too and I miss her dreadfully. I think it is just that without your mother you feel alone. I am grateful that we can talk about our mothers and the beautiful legacies they have left us. I am going to start a gratitude jar too. What a lovely idea.
Dill, I wrote down the book source you mentioned and will definitely look into them. I bought him his first book and continue to add to his collection. I also have books at my own place that I am saving for him. My daughter is really good about reading to him and he loves books already. Sorry grandson is sick, I feel for him after this cold I am still getting rid of. Yuck. How close are you to them? Big news, we put an offer on a house yesterday. We have looked at about 20-25 houses, and this one is not our dream home, but has a good location, ranch, affordable, and pretty new inside. It has a really small yard but that is something that we want, even though it will take getting used to. After all, we live in a city now. Closer to my grandson, only about 40 minutes, so I will be able to be more involved in his life. I am very excited and hope it goes through. Afterall, it's not yours till the closing. Just wanted to make one more comment. And you probably know this. Your grandson has been through trauma with the breakup of his family, so may need a little more time academically. I've seen it before. He will catch up with love, encouragement, and lots of reading time. You are the best grandma, next to Lav and now me.
Lav, how sweet of you to make your chickens a special treat! I think it would be so cool to be able to have some farm animals, big dogs, of course cats, and maybe some more pets. However, not for me with the path my life is following currently. That is OK. I looked up some recipes and made Tilapia yesterday and it was delicious. Are you into fish? It is not fishy, inexpensive compared to others, and very light. My goal is to eat at home for health reasons and to save money. I feel that I am going to find myself again after this last year of changes.
Pap, how absolutely cool that you are going to be able to walk to work. To me that is a dream come true. I will be so interested to see how much you enjoy this new way of life. I have been at Lowe's online, as the new house has no fireplace and we are thinking of purchasing one of those electric ones that give off heat and look pretty. So, today off to Lowe's. It is a great store. I understand about the washer, I am using the apartment small one, and am looking forward to using a regular one again. My new house has a laundry room, very important to me. Lots of changes for us this year. I am thrilled that you can fit into more comfortable sizes, have your weight under control and enjoy exercise. I have exercised every day this week and feel stronger, so will continue when I go back to work tomorrow. Yikes, it will be hard to go back.
Have a peaceful Sunday.
