The pessimist complains about the wind;
the optimist expects it to change;
the realist adjusts the sails.

What a wonderful time I had being with YOU! Lovely pictures - as usual. I feel so privileged to have been the subject of many this time. Love the quote you came up with about pessimists/optimists/realists. Apt!
ReplyDeleteLove you! LW in SE WA
Love the photos and the butter rum peach pie sounds amazing! So glad for your time together. Andrea and Dan are here. Steve is in Ellensburg for the day, while Dan spent most of the day with a couple of the young guys. Happy Mom. I got to spend the day with one of my daughters. Very happy Mom.
ReplyDelete.:) Yay...for quality time! Yes we had a wonderful time together and i am still floating somewhere in the stratosphere because of it...even with a few sore muscles in the sitting down tegions! Was amazing in afew hundred ways to get to be together!) Thanks so much to you and btswdnwtbioti for making it possible.
ReplyDeleteHi! Missed your call but will catch up with you another day. Love your blog photos and quotes. Fun to hear snippets of your time together. One very fun thing. As we were driving to the airport coming down the freeway I told the children to keep their eyes open and see if a plane was in the air. Soon after that they spotted a commuter plane off to our left. I said your mama is on that plane. Hurry, hurry they said. It's getting ahead of us. No problem, we will all arrive at the same time. Sure enough, I parked in a no parking allowed area right in front of where the plane was just pulling in and we sat and watched mama come off the plane. Everyone was so excited as you can imagine. She was full of gratefulness for the time with you and expressed her love and attachment to you in so many ways. It brings joy to my heart. Thanks for being such a super duper auntie.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog as always.

From your description and our phone call last night, and also having arrived at that airport and that you shared the same anticipation of my landing as a young Jake and Sally watched, I have a vivid mental image of that precious moment! Would love to see a whole bunch more of those charming children. Love your blog! So excited! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteGood evening. Been thinking of you with love. Really like your blog photos and quotes. You know what I don't like? It's the automatically highlighted words in the blogs that when you scroll over they pop up an ad. Other than that I like the blog.
ReplyDeleteToday I started another blog for Flowers For Rent. You will see it attached to my other blog.
Norita, thanks for sharing that moment when the girls got to see the airplane and their mommy. The joys of small airports. I always wonder if I am seeing my children's plane leave from Seattle as we can not get past security. It brought a tear to my eye. What a wonderful grandma you are. And what a precious family I belong too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful grandma is right! It was amazing having their mommy all to myself for a few days. I know that being a mommy gets to be such a habit that you hardly think about it after awhile, but she handled being without them like is was some kind of treat! Ha! They are adorable, and it is fun hearing about their excursions to town for dinner where all the older ladies around them comment on their exceptionally good behavior. Tell you what, they are the cutest of cute, tree-climbing, dresser climbing, piano climbing, tumblers. I couldn't get enough of the stories about them! I've got an LW kid addiction. And then she sent me pictures and now I'm more in awe than ever! Totally. Marvelous. Totally.
