- I've had the windows open ALL day.
- I bought my first pumpkin spice latte of the season.
- I'm sitting outside in the screened-in porch watching two cats play.
- I took a new profile pic for facebook that didn't scare me to death.
- And an encouraging thought hit me while I was folding laundry:
My husband's eighty-four year old
grandma. She's my biggest fan on his side of the family and the only one who has ever truly liked me regardless of which side of the Mississippi I grew up on. We had her over for dinner last week for my husband's birthday and she always makes it a point to compliment the many quilts in our house. She knows my grandma made them and she spares no praise in admiring each one. She spent some time talking about her days in high school and how she has outlived most of her eighteen senior classmates (
the girls are outliving the boys, she said with a smile). If we had never moved here, I would have never had the chance to know her.
Yeah, grandmas are a very big deal to me.
I need all the help I can get. =)
