Where I have been and what I have been up to.

Hello Everyone!

I recently got back from a visit with my grandmother and great grandmother in T.N.   My grandmother had fallen and broke her ankle in six places!  So,  my  family and I went there to help cook, clean, shop, and what ever else she needed us to do!   My family stayed one day and I ended up staying a whole week!

  I had lots of fun helping keep house and cook!  And it was very good experience for me to be cooking in some one else's kitchen (something I had never really done before) and using cleaning tools that I had rarely used before!  

And it was lots of fun just spending time with my  Grandmothers!  One night we got out a really old video camera and was able to watch the end of one old home movies that has been filmed long ago!  And I got to see my mom for a moment as a very little girl!  It was so sweet!

And the Tennessee  mountains were SO lovely!  From my Grandmother's houses you can see in the far distance the mountains, so big and glorious, I simply marveled at them and their Creator!

Here are a few pictures from my trip.


Get well flowers for my grandmother.





Here are some views from my  Great Grandmothers back porch.



                                        Me having a peaceful, thoughtful, time to myself.




                  The old camera!  That thing was so hard to make work!  But so much fun!


                                My Great Grandmother's hands, precious!

AND..... from time to time we have been baby-sitting some really wonderful, cute, fun children!  We ALL have had such fun with them!


                        2 year old Tobiah playing with some of his favorite toys we have...horses!


                                   Elijah and 5 year old Josiah playing a game.

                                                     6 year old Joelle and Elijah.

                                         3 year old Crosby having a nice wrestling game with Emma

                                                                     Cutie pies!

                                                                    Sweet little Crosby!

                                                                  Funny face time!!!!!



With this last picture Joelle did her best to take one of all of us at the house.....but as you can see no one wanted to have their picture taken!  But it turned out kinda cute anyhow!


So, there you have it.  Where I have been and what I have been up to!

It's been busy....but it's been great fun!
