Wordless Wednesday

 

Grandkid time!

We had a fun evening with Cassie and Connor last weekend. You may remember that Connor has had a very hard time being away from his parents, so being with just us has been a rare occasion.  However, he's been doing better and this night went very well!  

We started with some McDonalds for supper.

After supper, Cassie and I worked on a little craft. We made Super hero capes from t-shirt and glued designs on the back. We did one for Connor too, so he didn't feel left out.  We left them to dry for a while.

Then we took a walk down the road to see the horses.

We took along apple slices to feed the horses.

When we gave one to Connor, he ate it himself, instead of feeding the horses!  (Isn't that cap cute?)

We got back home and played on the swingset

Connor decided this toy wheelbarrow was perfect for sitting in

and good for riding in too!

Cassie was collecting acorns

Connor likes this little guy in our flower bed and thinks it's him.  He calls him Bubby, which is his nickname.

The capes we made earlier were now dry and ready to be tried on.

Connor wasn't thrilled, it got in his way and he just wanted to play!

Cassie loved it!  She was running and having fun with the cape twirling. Here she was asking Grandpa to show her how to fly.  :)

Such a fun night!  I think Grandpa and Grandma had the most fun though!

A Day in my Life - June

Here we are in June, almost halfway through the year. We've made it to summer with warm temps, flowers and longer days, all of which are happy things for me. 

Here's how the first day of the month went for me.

I was up around 7 and went downstairs for a 30 minute walk on the treadmill, then upstairs for a shower and a boiled egg for breakfast. I know some people think that's boring, but I'm a creature of habit in the morning and I enjoy that egg!

I started some laundry and then did a little catch up in blogland.

My sister had the day off from work and asked if I would come with her for a little shopping. She was looking for some things to wear to work.

As I was leaving, Bob was outside working on the flower beds. The sun was shining and it was 61 degrees, a beautiful day!

We got on the road and almost immediately were met with construction barrels. This is the norm for Michigan in the summer!

We had a successful shopping trip and both found a few tops.

We decided to stop and get a pedicure too, so now my feet look better!

We got home around 1 and I had some cottage cheese and fruit for lunch.

I finished the laundry I had started earlier and did a little cleaning, including the bathrooms.

Once that was done, I took advantage of the beautiful day and took a walk.  This is our road. The sun was shining and it was 70 degrees.

When I got to the woods I like to walk in, I found a small tree had fallen across the path, but it was pretty easy to get over.

A lovely path on the edge of the woods.

Lots of beauty to be seen along the path.

When I got back home, I did the last lesson in this Bible study I've been part of.  It was really good, and now we are breaking for the summer.

I made Spaghetti Pie for supper.

After supper, we walked around the yard to enjoy all the flowers that are blooming.

It was a quiet, peaceful evening and a perfect ending to a very nice day!
