Happy Valentine's Day!


Happy Valentine's Day!
♥♥♥
I've been away for over a week and seems like I have been gone a month!
We have been in Tennessee taking care of our sweet grand kiddos
 while Mom & Dad went off on a cruise to celebrate their ten year anniversary!
This was a first for us and it was such a blessing to be able to spend this time with them.
Caring for an eight and a six year old, getting them off to school and picking them up...
...well, let me tell you, it's been a while since we've had to do this!
Need I say more?
This was one worn out Mawmaw by the end of the week...
...but I wouldn't have traded the opportunity to do this for anything!
♥♥♥
I didn't look at one blog while I was there....just too much going on everyday.
But I did gather enough fodder for several posts of my own...
...you'll hear more about all of that later.
 In the mean time, I will try to catch up a bit :)
♥♥♥
So, again, I wish everyone a very special Valentine's Day...
...filled with love and many blessings!

    So sweet to spend time with the grandkids, but as Cousin Violet said in Downton Abbey, 'It's just the on and on-ness of it.' LOL Hope their parents had a wonderful time on their cruise. What a treat for them that you could come and stay with the kids - and I know it was a treat for you too. Lots of memories made. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, Debby.

    We forget all the energy it takes to keep up with the younger crowd! But it's so much fun that it's worth the effort. Glad you enjoyed your time.

    Isn't it amazing the difference in the energy level from when our kids were little to now? Of course we were used to caring for them each day. I'm glad you had this opportunity and I'm sure you and they built some wonderful memories. We missed our opportunity to do that when I was sick, so the other grandma in town had to do double duty and I know she was tired! Stay safe in the weather coming, whatever it turns out to be

      You are so right, Dotsie! And I didn't realize how exhausting it was till near the end of the week...but I was doing some other projects to add to it. It was fun and I will do it again in a heartbeat! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day :)

    Hi Debby! I can only imagine what wonderful memories you created for your grandchildren... and you! I know it must have been hard to swing into someone else's calendar and way of doing things, but I know you had some great times. Can't wait to read about them!
    Welcome back, you were missed <3
