"Kids say the darndest things"

Our youngest grandson was visiting for a week.  And he is a live wire. 
Our oldest grandson, who is 13, is also visiting.  They are half-brothers but they do not live with each other.  But the youngest sure does love his "Bubbi".  I hope they can grow up having a relationship with each other since they are so far apart in age and homes.
The youngest was so funny the other morning.  I was sitting at my desk talking to my husband when he came through.  My husband asked him if he would hand me back the phone.  After he gave it to me he headed on to the other doorway and my husband said "You should come give "Gannie" (that's me) a hug!  He turned around, with his little hands holding onto the doorknob, and just as serious, said "Why?  I'm not going anywhere".  We both burst out laughing!
Kids really do "say the darndest things"!
They have so much innocence, trust and forgiveness.  Wouldn't it be a wonderful place if we, as adults, could do the same......and not be taken advantage of.

I am Blessed

I got to see my granddaughter again.......and her parents.  They came home for my surgery.  Just when you think you love 'em as much as you possibly can and then the next time you see them you find yourself loving them even more. 
She's discovered she likes bracelets.  And she holds her arm up to keep them on. 
As you can see in the picture she was shopping in my Mary Kay store.  She looks like she is going to be like her Momma in that respect.
She has her PawPaw wrapped around her little finger.  Which is easy to do with PawPaw!
She is curious about everything.  Her parents say she is ornery, but then again neither of them admit to being that way when they were young and I KNOW my son was!
The youngest grandson will be in for a visit in a week or so.  We're looking forward to that too.

On Life's Journey

Last Wednesday I had to have surgery to remove a basil cell cancer located on the side of my nose.  I know this is no comparison at all to having lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.  But to me the moment the doctor confirmed it was skin "cancer", I felt different.  It's that word I guess, that hovers in everyone' mind.  Even if it is skin cancer.  It's hard to imagine a family that hasn't been affected by cancer.  My brother died from lung cancer at the age of 42 in 1991.  My mother passed away in 1998 at the age of 71 with cancer of the liver.  She also had several skin cancers removed in her latter years.  I wish I could convince everyone, especially the young, how important it is to avoid sun exposure.  I know it may look good to be tanned, but in the long run, it may not be worth it.  Not only is there the risk of cancer, but it ages and wrinkles your skin.

One of Life's Joys

Yesterday we went to see our 3-year-old grandson, whom we haven't seen in a few weeks.  What a joy!  It may get more difficult to keep up with him, but the smile on his face makes it worth the struggle.  He has brought such joy in my heart. 
 
Watching how the simple things are so exciting to him.  Oh to have life simple again.  He is just so precious, especially when he gives you a big hug and kiss.  
 
Don't get me wrong, he does have an onery and stubborn streak in him....for sure! 
 
How bittersweet it is knowing you have to leave again.  You try to think more of the good time you had than the fact that you are separated again.
 
It is said, "sometimes life just isn't fair"!

Searching

Today I have created my own "space".  I'm not sure if I feel relieved or ridiculous!  But it is something I have been thinking about for a while now.  I'm just not sure how comfortable I am with this.  But I am looking  forward to meeting new friends.....around the world.
