An evening out sounds grand. And it was! An evening, all 47 minutes of it, with the grands. What with our being sick and their being sick, we hadn't seen each other in too long. So with treats stashed in my purse, I was off. (Thanks to Carol for a great idea!)The "carrot" treats confused the littlest grand all to pieces. Jake just couldn't make a connection between carrots and cheese puffs. The older thought they were funny.
And in the end, I came home with a treat. It's not in the fridge, but on it and signed by the artist, too.
So that's my first coloring book page from a grand. I also received an "I love you, too" that warmed my heart; although, I may have tried to push it too far because after another request for a kiss, Sam looked at his mother and said, "You kiss her." Cheeky little bugger!

Look for my final thoughts for a while on comments and commenting tomorrow. And a collective cheer arose in Blogdom... Edited to add: I see that Blogger is naughty again today making commenting too much of a time waster. Hope to get back to visiting when things improve.
My hubby bought me a biography of E.B. White so I'm planning to curl up and read as much of this rainy, cold day away as possible. Enjoy your day, too!
I'll be reading too, but in a waiting room at a veterinary clinic.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff, this week!
Your coloring sheet is so cute. Is it strange that I am looking forward to Grandchildren when all of my kids are still teenagers?
All in good time.
Those carrots were a very fun idea.
Have a great day!

Great treat idea for kids! And you are so lucky to have a piece of art on your fridge. I bet that makes the little one feel special too! Have fun reading your book!
ReplyDeletehow cute is that? "mom, you kiss her
ReplyDeletethis time."

teacher but NOT a mrs. hitler.
blessings,

What a cute treat you made for the grands. Love your grandson's artwork and the comment about your kiss is too funny.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about your thoughts on comments.
Enjoy your day and happy reading.
47 minutes out hu? Nope! Not gonna' bite! Nope! Gonna' keep my "trap shut." [If I keep being so strong, you are going to not have as much fun, with blogging though, at you? -giggles-]
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute "Carrot" idea! Cheese Puffs seem less sat/fat filled than chocolate, don't they? ,-)
New book!!! Yummmmm... And it's certainly the day for it! Heavy rain around these parts. [Dare I mention your cellar...? No! I dare not!]
Did last night's nearly Full Moon peek out last night, over there? It did here. Wonder if it will tonight, for the really Full Moon?
Enjoy the reading on a damp and gloomy day!!! I will too! :-)
Enjoy your cozy day. It's rainy here today, too, but I'm forging onwards with unpacking and organizing. We're still looking forward to grandchildren and the cute things they say and do.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your coming Report on Your Survey/Views On Comments and Commenting! Yessss!
ReplyDeleteBut please remember the dense among us [ME] who needs specifics. 'Cause I'm still not sure exactly what your aim was. And naturally, am not sure what your decision will be, and why.
There! Have I "muddied the waters" now, for your coming post? -giggles- You know I always *aim to please*! :-))))
I like the carrots...and I'm sure that is just what the Easter bunny ordered!
ReplyDeleteYou call 47 minutes a evening out? Girl...we need to take you out on the town. Though I know...nothing compares to time spent with the grands.
Hi Vee, Your carrots are just charming! I love the coloring pages from your grandchildren. I remember when I used to have things like that hanging all over my house. Little treasures that I still cherish to this day.
ReplyDeleteHello Vee...checking in with some of my fav blogs. Been so busy with this relocation coming up haven't been on too much...always love your blog and seeing what you've been up to.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter this weekend!
It's a rainy day here and I had the luxury of sleeping late after a late night out, so I really feel for your "47 minute break"! You really are making a sacrafice and I hope your heavenly rewards will be many one day, Vee! Keep the little breaks up for your own mental stability...care takers need care too!
ReplyDeleteLove the grandson masterpiece!
{{{hugs}}}
It is beautiful today here. I love that carrot idea! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little carrots! Great idea!!!! You have lucky grandies!

How awesome that you had a little time out with the grandkids! And I love Sam's comment. Boys are entertaining that way. My mom loves the gifts from her grands, too. I hope to have those to treasure in the future as well! The book you are reading sounds fabulous. What a great way to spend a rainy day.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. A work of art and a sweet kiss!
