Grandma Days!

Kasey and Cole spent Monday and Tuesday with me.  DIL-1 had a two day training in Milwuakee (about 6 hours away).  DS-1 was setting up the John Deere exhibit at  Wisconsin Farm Technology Days about two hours away.  DS needs to work at the exhibit through Thursday.  He came to pick up the kids about 9:00 on Monday night.  Since he needed to leave by 6:00 a.m., I went over to their house to wait for them to wake.  When I stepped out the door the sun was just coming up. Two things came to mind-One the OLD song-"Morning Has Broken" and Psalm 118:24  "This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

One thing about being grandma is that you can let your daily work go to spend time with the kids. When Kasey walked in Monday morning she told me her blankie was broke so Grandma had to patch it.  So one more bright pink patch is holding it together.  Kasey and I read books, built with blocks, sang songs, and the usual grandma things.  Cole was in the swing watching us and smiling and talking. 

Tuesday afternoon we went for a walk.  We pulled weeds from my flower beds and only had one blossom pulled off. She walked up to the flowers in the barrel and said, "We match, take my picture grandma.!"

We walked--well actually I walked while I pushed Cole in the stroller and pulled Kasey and the horse in the wagon--to the corn field by the west driveway.  DH and DS-1 are excited about the corn.  DH has never had corn like this the 37 years we have been farming. 

Today Kasey is back to daycare. Cole is taking a nap while I am writing to you and baking brownie for DH.  If I hurry-I could maybe sneak upstairs yet during his nap for my first look at my sewing machine this week!!!
