Picked up my 2 youngest granddaughters Sunday. It was raining here at 8:00AM, raining when I got out of church, POURED down rain all the way to Conroe. On interstate 45, it was raining so hard that I got in the far right lane, creeping along at 45-50 MPH. Normally I go 80-85 in the far left lane. Rain stopped for our drive home. Here on the farm, got 1 3/4” of rain. Thirsty dry ground soaked it up.

Yesterday we went to the grocery store. The girls ran wild. They giggled, laughed, had so much fun. My daughter is a fan of online shopping and pick up. They practically never go inside. So it was quite the outing for the girls. $101, we got a can of pumpkin, frozen pie shells, ice cream, coke, 1 corn on the cob, 1 sweet potato, flour tortillas, milk, cereal, hamburger and whatever they wanted. Last night we had chicken breast, corn on the cob for me and Catherine, cubed and toasted sweet potato for me and Charlotte. We played outside. We made pumpkin pie, stuck a candle in it, face timed Charlotte’s parents and sang happy birthday, she is 9.

My sister bought 2 big blow up chairs for the girls, they sent one home, brought one here. Directions said to use a bicycle pump. DO NOT use an air compressor to avoid bursting the chair. Ummmm…… this Mamaw went and got her air compressor. Duh.

I’ve been telling Sheba for a week that Catherine is coming to see her. Sheba flops down for a tummy rub and Catherine happily obliges.

Meanwhile, Cooper the ram was mugging Charlotte for attention. He loves attention of any kind and is a big teddy bear. Charlotte loves Cooper and loves giving him scratches.

Today we are making a birthday cake. We’ll light up the candle and sing happy birthday all over again.
What a precious time for you and the girls. They are beautiful! 💞

I enjoy every minute I can. Someday way too soon, Mamaw won’t be cool anymore.
I don't believe that for a minute. You are giving them memories to last a lifetime. I think you will always be cool to them! 😎💞

I drove my grandmother crazy, she called me a little heathen...lol, but I always knew she loved me unconditionally and I loved her as much. 💗

Today we made a birthday cake. I made 7 minute frosting, they love it. They decorated it with sprinkles and we face timed their parents.

We went to a small community nearby to volunteer at a food distribution. I helped bag canned goods, and load the line of cars and trucks that showed up. I explained to the girls what it was and let them watch a little while. They played in the community center.

So awesome for them to learn about serving others! 💞

I took the girls back on Saturday to meet my DD and husband at my sister’s house. We had a good week.
Thursday we took my sister in law to the doctor and to pick up her grocery order. Took her home, took groceries in and put them up. Hauled off her trash.

Friday we went to Lufkin and I bought some new boots. I’m gonna wear the boots with dresses. I’ve been wearing sparkly flip flops or sandals but they won’t do well on rainy winter days. Plus I can wear nice boots with jeans. The only boots I had were work boots for the farm.

Saturday night I met a couple at her daughter and son in law’s ice house. Cafe in front, band in the huge back, solid fence all around for kids to play. A neighborhood cafe/bar/club and family atmosphere. It’s way out from town in the middle of nowhere. My friends and I sat at a table, they had a beer, I had iced tea. The music was good, we visited and had a good time.

This was my first “going out” since BJ died 4 years ago this month. Being old fuddy buddies, we left a little after 10. 😃
