Home School Time

Kimmy, our daughter, is a Home School mom of 6 kids, 

(15,13,11,9,6,4 yrs).

She also has a Home School class that she teaches once a month,

 for younger children.

Friends, neighbors and church familes, have signed up their

younger children to learn about God's creation.

What a special time for the youngsters to learn 

how to sit, create, play, listen, share and 

have fun while doing all of this. 

The moms enjoy time with the little ones plus visiting with other moms.

It's always held outside,

 in their beautiful backyard, year round!

This year Ila May has graduated out of the class but wanted to still be apart of the fun.

Kimmy recruited her, as her assistant, 

along with a special girlfriend.

We thought it would be fun to identify the assisstants, by wearing an apron.

Kimmy, "Mom can you make aprons for Ila May and her friend?"

Me, "Sure!"

So off to the store to find the perfect material.

We looked at several colors and different prints.

This is the one we came up with!

Back and front

Ila had a specific style she wanted.

No patterned needed for this adorable apron.

(Pockets will be added on soon.)

What would we do without YouTube?

Kimmy's assistnants, 

ready for students.

I added an extra long ties to make 

BIG bows.

The girls are ready to help, if needed.

Grammy-Goo with the girls.

I found a gift bag that almost is the same print!

I ended up making a total of four aprons.

You never know if there will be more assistants in the future.

We are ready, just in case.

As each has recieved a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.

Stay At Home... What I'm Doing

Life has been a routine these past few weeks.

Which is good!

Tom and I do exercises together, twice a day.

I take Banjo for a walk, 3-4 times a day.

Food is cooked, baked or BBQ'd

Projects are completed.

Back gate has been repaired.

But then there are days when the routine is broken!

One day, we took the older grand kids
 for a bike ride.

Good exercise and lots of fun to be with them.

 
You could tell they were happy
 by all the conversations
we had while riding.


And they didn't want us to go home.


Just had to put this in...

It's almost a news worthy event 

when you run out of  TP.

And another weird event..

 
Making masks!
(I haven't used one and probably won't.)



We all need haircuts, including Banjo.

He loves the attention and would of stayed on the table all day if I let him.

Another thing he loves is,
going for a ride in the car!

He sticks his head out the window and

let the wind blow his face.

Here he is looking at deer!

I think he thinks they are big dogs.

On our walks, he keeps discovering new things.

Here he is checking out Dandelions.

Sometimes we just enjoy the sunshine with our "pal".

EASTER 2020

Tom and I got up early and drove to a special 

spot where we could watch the sunrise.

We arrived during the Blue Hour.

It was such a humbling and 

 moving moment, for just the two of us.

Tom read scripture as we watched the sun peek out.

Easter 2020 

HE HAS RISEN!

He has risen, indeed!

Later on in the afternoon,

we joined in

 on an egg hunt.

When all the eggs had be found,

the "goods" were inspected.

(this says it all)

Stay At Home Grandma - Week 2

So far so good!

We attended Church, well kinda.

Mark and Kimmy had us down to watch our church service, 

that was streamed live.

We followed the rule of  limit of 10 people!

We were given a format to follow.
Announcements were announced.
Worship songs were sung.
Prayers were said.
Notes were taken.
The service ended with an intimate fellowship.

It felt good to know that we are in this together!

It's Spring and I started my vegetable garden by

planting seeds. 

Our 2nd bathroom has a great skylight!

So great, that the seeds are all ready sprouted!!!

It snowed today! Now what?? 

I guess they'll stay in the tub.

Look who spent the day with us.

Isaac!

It is always a good time when we have a 

grand kid or two come over.

Especially, when we are isolating.

He got right to work spraying hard surfaces!

Banjo is keeping us laughing and busy!

His Breeder sent him a surprise package,

 full of toys and treats.

Banjo doesn't look surprised.

More like.... scared.

But that didn't last long.

Speaking of Banjo...

Banjo found Isaac's lost sock under this chair!

This is Isaac's reaction when his mom told him

Banjo found his sock!

I'm  keeping busy sewing another Birthday present.

This time it's for Ila May.

She's turning 9 years old.

She loves to be in the kitchen cooking or baking!

I made her a special apron.

I had the material left over from when I made an apron for her mom.

I didn't have a pattern but I found a great tutorial on line.

And I didn't have to leave home for material or pattern!

I've always called myself a Stay-At-Home -Grandma.

And now it's literal.
