More self-indulgent pictures of Littlest Granddaughter. I feel the need to indulge because she's now 400 miles away, as is her lovely mum, and I miss them a lot. Here is Littlest playing with her Edinburgh cousins, who're being very patient as she carefully undoes their construction.
The next day, Big Grandson was having a nice quiet game on someone's phone when Littlest Granddaughter came and leaned companionably on him. So sweet. She was lying on his right arm but he didn't complain.
It was my father's 100th birthday on the 9th. Sadly, he died in 2007, but we put a candle on a cake and sang him Happy Birthday anyway. Littlest, who didn't quite grasp the concept but knows the song, insisted that it was her birthday, so we sang it to her and then, at her suggestion, to everyone else too. My dad would probably have been a difficult 100-year-old - he was quite a difficult 50-year-old, 60-year-old etc at times - but it's sad that he was so definitely alive and no longer is. He was very very clever. We're all clever enough but his exceptional brain has now evaporated, which seems improbable.
And then the other day it snowed, and Biggest Granddaughter, who is too young to remember snow (I don't think there was any last year and she's only 6) wanted to go out into her garden and throw snowballs. There was just about enough for her to manage (though it's all gone now). Duck!
You (or Mr. Life) caught that snowball in flight, amazing! Your dad's brain lives on in you and in your children and the grands. Sweet photo of N. and A.!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful memories and I hope you will be together again soon....What a good snowball in flight photo!
ReplyDeleteSend you little angels over here -- we'll show them some snow. Not very much this year, but certainly enough to make snowballs and a snowman or two. I love that the older grandchildren are so patient and kind with littlest granddaughter -- they're all so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOur snow, despite a promising yellow weather warning, was pathetic this week. It's been years since snowmen have been seen around here. Sigh. No snow day this year again. I'm up out of my cosy bed because of Storm Dennis. Bet he doesn't bring any snow either.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Stanford Medical, It's in fact the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 42 pounds less than us.
ReplyDelete(Just so you know, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "how" they eat.)
P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...

Hello friends. I've been reluctant in purchasing this blank ATM card I heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but I was convinced when my friend got the card from Sebastian hackers & we both confirmed it really works, without delay I gave it a go. Ever since then I've been withdrawing about $10,000 daily from the card without having any bank account and now I can say I'm rich because I keep renewing my card after 3 months and I also have my business and enough money for my family. So glad I gave it a try at last & this card has really changed my life financially without getting caught, its real & truly works though its illegal but made me rich!! If you need this card from real hackers then contact them today via their email address:sebastianhackers01@gmail.com
