catching up

Well, it has been a busy week! I have photos to prove it, but blogger won't let me post them. So, until I have time to figure that out, you will just have to take my word for it! It all started on Nov 15, when I went to Grandparent's Day at our grandson's school. We had lunch together and then I visited his classroom. The children sang a song for us and showed us their art work. It was fun and sweet!

The next day, I headed to Tenn for the weekend. I went to see our oldest granddaughter's school play and to celebrate our son's birthday. Our girl sang a solo in the choir at Friday night's performance and had a role in the play Sat night. She did a wonderful job! Her song made this Gran cry! She was definitely the star of the show as far as we were concerned!

Saturday, my DIL's family had their traditional Gingerbread House making day. The girls and I went for a while so we could watch them at work and the girls could help a bit. It was impressive! They really do it right! They make their own gingerbread and are so creative in their decorations. I sure hope I can post some photos soon. They really are works of art!

On Sun night, my son's in-laws treated us to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate his birthday. It was delicious and we enjoyed being together.

I came home Mon and on Wed, our Tenn family came here. We had our Thanksgiving dinner Thurs with most of the family in attendance. It was a beautiful day, and even though some of us weren't feeling that great, we still had a good time. Good food, games, laughter.... made for a sweet day of family!

Our construction has gotten to the point where I will be separated from my computer and I will be sharing my hubby's laptop. So, posts may be sporadic for a couple of weeks. We are excited that things are progressing. Up to this point, all the work has been outside. Tomorrow, they come in the house. Now, it is going to be inconvenient! But, the results will be worth it! :-)

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Hopefully. I will be able to catch up in the next day or two.

I will leave you with this line from a song I heard on the radio today...

        "the same pair of hands that hold the world, holds you."

I like that thought!
