GOOD SATURDAY MORNING..........

...........from grandson, Caleb!

His morning text woven with words of love and a picture of God's morning sunrise...... 

..........A beautiful way to begin my day!

TUESDAY TREAT!

What a treat!

When one's youngest grand receives a special stuffed animal from her dad's recent Bahama's trip, she is all smiles!

When granddaughter chooses to name her "piggie" Dotsy after her grandmother, Grandmother is all smiles!

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged. (Proverbs 17:6)

Truely a Tuesday treat for this grandmother!

A BUNCH OF BOYS!

Give it up AI---"Grandboy" is a colloquial term, primarily used in the Southern US, & that's where we reside. The male grands in our family number 7 and to us they are our "grand boys". 

A trainload!

Pizza anyone?

Dinosaur lesson at the Bakery breakfast! Youngest teaching older ones.

Tubing Deep Creek in ice cold water.

Followed by dinner at Anthony's

Topping the Day off with a trip to The Chocolate Shoppe!

Our 2 grandgirls are on Long Island. All the grandchildren are dear to our heart but the girls are not with us this week!. They are truly blessing my heart by reading together!

• Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly, and the glory of children is their parents. (CEB)
• Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. (KJV)
• Old people are distinguished by grandchildren; children take pride in their parents. (MSG)
• Grandchildren are the crown of the old, And the glory of sons is their fathers. (NASB)

No matter what version is used in Scripture, it's a truth celebrated at our house!  

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY‼️

Reading books…..Making play dough……Learning to tango, play Bananagrams & get to know cousins better❣️

Terrific Tubing in an ice cold creek!

Fly Fishing Fanatic

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth.

CAMPGROUND COUSINS!

Memories from Deep Creek campground week with 4 cousins... my paraphrase from Ecclesiastes...

There is a time for everything,

    and a season for every activity under the heavens: including telling "Star in the Middle" story 

2     a time to be born

and a time to die, (& bury the cicada)

    a time to plant (with all the needed accoutrements)

and a time to uproot,
3  ....... a time to heal, 

(Uncle Josh showed PopPop exercises, Jack held the equipment & offered to take his temperature while Goldie supervised.) 

    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,

    a time to mourn (because 5 of our cousins could not join us),and a time to dance, (even singing and dancing in the rain with Shug)

5     a time to scatter stones

 and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace

and a time to refrain from embracing,

6     a time to search

and a time to give up,

    a time to keep

and a time to throw away,

7     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent

 and a time to speak,

8     a time to love...............

   ............. and a time for peace.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

He has set eternity in the human heart;.........I know there is nothing better for people that to be happy.....

...and to do good while they live that each of them may eat (birthday cupcakes)

and drink, and find satisfaction in their toil---this is the gift of God. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-13)
