Last weekend we finally had Alaina and Ruby overnight again. It's been too long, things like our vacation, their vacation, sickness and then random busyness kept it from happening.
On Friday night we made a trip to the local ice cream place.
The girls always choose play dough ice cream.
We had lunch outside, under the gazebo.
Alaina asked "So Grandma, what did you do this week?" Ann replied "Chased men!" Followed by lots of laughs from her and the rest of us. :)
She loves seeing them and they love her too.
Then we brought the girls back home and hopefully they'll be back before too long!
The bubble art looks really fun. I will have to keep that in mind. Your granddaughters are two really beautiful girls. They are growing up to be two kind and thoughtful young women. I hope you have a great week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos with the huggs.
ReplyDeleteRuby has the most adorable freckles! Our middle granddaughter has them, too. I think it is one of her most beautiful features. I love Alaina's pretty yellow dress. As usual, you have chosen an awesome craft. Now, I am going to buy the things and do it with our girls! I can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have young children as company!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that ya’ll got to have the girls and got to see Anne! She looks like she is doing well, and the garden she helped with is beautiful! I love the bubble art! They will definitely make beautiful cards! 😊
ReplyDeleteAs pretty as she is, I'll bet there are a few old men that would like to be chasing her :)
ReplyDeleteI did not know about bubble art this is a good idea. Nice pictures of Ann and the girls.
ReplyDeleteOh, the cards look so pretty, Mari! Your grans are little beauties!
ReplyDeleteI know Ann loved the cards....and company. Laughed at her comment, chasing men...lolol
Have a sweet and peaceful week!
hugs

The photos and the sweet hugs ... oh my gosh, that brought tears to my eyes. That is so very super kind to visit someone in the Nursing Home. It means so much. Y'all are the best. Love In Christ xx
ReplyDeleteOh dear ... there is something in my eye and it's not a bubble infused with food coloring (wonderful as that is and I have already shared that with Audrey who said it will be a perfect activity for both Dagny and Rhett) ... Ann reminds me of Henry in that he is the only grandpa my children have ever known. They love him and he loves them but these pictures of Ann embracing Alaina and Ruby are priceless. More goodbyes will someday be said but you can never say they did not make the most of the time they had with Ann and your dear dad. And Ann's witty comeback to their question ... wow I love her sense of humor! It's obvious that it has stood her in good stead. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt is so good for children to be around the elderly - I remember my grandparents at that age, something my own kids never grew up seeing. It's funny how now, they both work with the elderly in their jobs and they love them. That one photo of Ann and the kids among the beautiful flowers is really eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteYuck - never heard of play dough ice cream. I don't think I would like it.
Aww, It's so nice to see the girls with their grandma. I love Ann's reply on what she did that week. Ha! What a fun craft. You find the best ideas for crafts.
ReplyDeleteOh what a sweet and perfect time with your sweetest girlies. Loved the bubble art!! What a great idea as cards. 💗 It's so nice to see Ann is still doing well. I have no doubt how much she loves your visits and thoughtfulness. 🙏
ReplyDeleteI love that the girls get to know their great-grandma. I only have memories of my granny's mom. I was only 4 or 5 and just remember her sitting in a rocking chair, making string balls. The bubble art does make nice greeting cards! Special times make special memories! xo
ReplyDeleteYou always have such fun projects. I'll have to share that one with my granddaughter to try with her girls.
ReplyDeleteGreat-grandma has a good sense of humor, haha.
Precious pictures of the hugs.
Aw, this reminds me of the bittersweet days when we'd visit my mom at her assisted living...
ReplyDeleteNice visit! I love the bubble art idea and am going to use it with my grandsons!
ReplyDeleteThe bubble art looks like fun! I love those cards so unique. Aw... great grandma has to occupy her time. What a sense of humor she has. My childhood friend Judy loved the assisted living center so much that when she visited her aunt she would get her hair done in the beauty salon. hahaha Judy is a real corker!
ReplyDeleteThat bubble art is so cool! You do the most fun crafts with the girls! And Ann's flower garden is pretty awesome!
