ENOUGH

Remembering Maya Angelou (1928 - 2014)

I am grateful

To have been

Loved and to be

Loved now and

To be able to

Love, because

Love liberates.

Hum, ego eh? Nice piece! Maybe my blog is becoming the "Readers' Digest" of blogs, certain blogs of course. Good, well-written with great meaning blogs. The kind I aspire to. If only I'd write and give it a go!

Grandma Appreciation by "Moms' Night Out" Movie

This movie is terrific for so many reasons. It is hilarious. Also touching. And they actually talk about God and what is most important in life. I highly recommend it. My husband and I laughed until we cried last night when we saw it. Again, Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms, grandmothers, and all women who love, teach, and support children.

And the photo above of my grandchildren is a little blurred because that's how they are, always moving! Can't seem to get a good photo of all three of them together. So this will do because you can see they are having a fun time. That's my Happy Nana's Day!

Toddler Years Bucket List: Must do activities before a toddler is big!

Toddler Years Bucket List: Must do activities before a toddler is big!:   'via Blog this'

Just began reading through the list. Check, check, must do this, check, check, do soon, check...good list for all parents, grandparents, anyone who is around toddlers. Time flies, so do it now!

Ramblings

Love this quote. The same could be said for good mamas (change "grandchildren" to children)!

I am an exclamation point girl! And have been for years. It's my way of putting enthusiasm, happiness, passion, into my prose. It's my smiley 'face' before there was such a thing. The grammar people don't like exclamation points in writing. Humph. Not listening to them!!!

Went out to eat dinner tonight. The young man who was our server (waiter in years past), was lively and fun. He kept saying I reminded him of his grandma! She sounded cool so I took it as a compliment. Could I be his grandma? Age-wise? My husband says yes. OK then. 

Grandson Benjamin, my daily little charge, is going to be two years old next week. We have practiced putting his fingers in place to make two, and he's got it. He is one bright child. Talking in sentences with a large vocabulary; counts to 5 (forgets 4), and sometimes counts to 10 (still forgets 4); sings the ABC's; recognizes/identifies some letters; is very imaginative with play and toys; oh and so much more! I am so thankful to be able to take care of him! 

I can get 'kidnapped' by so many things on the Internet. One thing leads to another and then to another and then to another. My curiosity and attention are so easily sucked in to the "Web." Hum, the web can be thought of in different ways---like the web that catches me.

All the ramblings for now!
