A Grandma's Got To Do What A Grandma's Got To Do!

Carter called a few weeks ago and told me he was going to Disneyland and asked me if I wanted to come. Of course being the wonderful attentive Grandmother that I am I couldn't tell him no. So I am off tomorrow to go to California with Brad and Christine and the two cutest grandson's anybody could ever have! I am looking forward to going on the rides with Carter and Easton. This will be Easton's first time there, so it should be interesting! Carter has already decided which rides we are going on first, so I am sure we will be following his lead. I love Disneyland, especially when I am with my grandson's!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
