GRANDDAUGHTERS

Granddaughters are so much fun. My daughter and son-in-law came down last Saturday to give me a hand.
They are at such interesting ages, well shucks I guess i think that about every age they have been. The oldest turned 9 in July & the youngest 6 in April. They have very different tastes in toys. The oldest is like her mom & I & loves dolls while the younger adores stuffed animals. My daughter was patiently trying to help me eliminate some of my doll collection, while the girls were fascinated by some of the dolls & stuffed animals I have collected over the years.

There was the " I would like that one Nammy for Christmas, & she is so beautiful." The little one found a stuffed animal or two but she too wanted one of the dolls for Christmas.
As an collector knows eliminating part of one's collection is a difficult decission. I held my ground on my very favorite ones & the best part of giving the girls some of them is that i will see them again when I visit.

My oldest granddaughter loves the program "Are you smarter than a fifthe grader?" & the time before when the girls were down my daughter & I were contestants on her version which had questions which she thought up based on what she had learned in 3rd grade homeschool'
She would have liked to have played it again this time but were a bit too busy.

I have been so grateful for all the help that my "kids" have given me in the hope that i will be able to soon put my home on the market & move closer to them. A nsaty eye infestion in both eyes this last month, kept me from accomplishing my goal of having it on the market in August.
The knowledge that the Lord knows all about it & His timing doesn't always coincide with ours, but is "always" the right time gives me the peace to curb my impatience.
