On Vacation

By Nancy Jill Thames
Yes, my grandchildren in California need me. Their parents are taking a vacation for a week, so I'm heading west to do Camp Grandma for my precious granddaughters and grandson. We'll be learning sewing skills, writing and producing a play, baking a pie, making scones for a tea party, visiting aunts, uncles and cousins nearby and just plain 'ol having fun! There's lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe, shopping, movies to go see, and table setting etiquette to learn. We'll make jewelry, go to the library, and watch more movies at home.

I hope you all have a wonderful week while I'm away.

See you in my books!

MIXED EMOTIONS...

Nothing is ever perfect. The yellow smiling face is for the happiness of seeing my husband again after being gone six days. The green numb face is for the way I feel after contracted a bad cold and having to be silent on the plane trip home so I wouldn't give my cold to anyone. The red sad face is for the way I always feel when I have to leave my grandchildren and their parents after being with them for six days. Nothing is ever perfect. I know I'll see the faces again. But I will choose to remember that I have a husband to come home to, the cold will eventually go away and I'll make more trips to see my loved ones again. At this time, I'd like to ask the green face to step behind the yellow face, and the red face to step behind the green. Thank you. Now all I can see is the smiling yellow face. I'm home again.
