Candy Cane cookies on the porch...

My mother made these cookies for me when I was a child...I baked them for my girls. This batch of cookies is for my grandkids to eat on Christmas Eve.

These are some of my favorite people on the planet and they were right in my bed at camp! They make me laugh...sometimes they make me cry. The picture made my day. It is not an easy task to keep them all in one place, and looking at me, for more than the blink of an eye. There are three eight year olds, a seven, six, four and one and a half year old here. Missing are the Texans, ten, another eight year old and a five year old. I am so thankful for my wonderful grands...they make life sweet. Also, very thankful for this moment in time!

D won his heat...

Best time boys...

Wow, watching my two grands swimming so very fast was an experience! The meet lasted all day. The energy expended was incredible. It was the two eight year olds first competition and both did very well. Perfect form...

Teary eyes on the porch...

Back home after three weeks of travel. It feels good. I'm catching up on my 60 second writer posts...I read some old ones, brought tears to my eyes. My minutes are so heartfelt. Looking back on my blog also reminds me of this good life I have. Such lovely people warm my heart. My grands are so sweet and loving. The look on those little faces when they see Gran...the tears when I leave. I remember being a nine year old and saying, " When I grow up I want to be an old lady." Well here I am and I must say it has been so much fun!
