While I am getting myself into a routine, it just doesn’t seem to include much time online. And while limiting my time online has long been a goal, I didn’t intend for blogging time to be what was sacrificed. 
It was a nice, quiet weekend at Chez Nana. I made progress on the Storm at Sea and on my hexagons. We watched the Cardinals pull off two unexpected wins over the Dodgers. And we had a birthday party for little T#4!
Speaking of T#4, today is her birthday … she turns 4! One of the benefits of watching the Ts while DD works the early morning shift is that I will get to be the first one to give her a happy birthday hug … the downside will be that it breaks my mama heart to think that DD’s mama heart will be hurting that she didn’t get to be the first one.
Fall has arrived here! The leaves on our new trees in the backyard have started to turn … the colors are gorgeous … we chose them especially for their fall color, and they’re not disappointing. And the weather has definitely become fall-like … although it’s bordering on becoming winter-like with lows in the lower 40’s and even upper 30’s in the forecast for the rest of the week. I’m going to fight turning on the furnace as long as I can … thank goodness for a gas fireplace that I can switch on in the mornings to take the chill off (although DH likes to point out that the cost of running that fireplace is about the same as just turning on the furnace
It’s time for me to head to DD’s … but I’ll close with a picture taken 4 years ago.
Have a terrific Tuesday!
Hi, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand what you wrote about having to sacrifice blogging. I have a lot on my plate right now (a job, a hubby who travels weekly, raising a 17 yr. old daughter, etc.). You get the picture. It's very difficult when you want to do everything well, yet you know you can't possibly. So, my free time to blog as regularly as I used to has gone way down. I just do the best I can and let the rest take care of itself. Wishing your sweet granddaughter a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love that picture of you, two!
Good morning! I think we all struggle at times with those "blogging" times. I know I sure do! It can be hard to keep up...but we just do the best we can, right? I am sure you are anxious to get through the storm at sea quilt...it is just soo pretty. Happy birthday to your little grand! Hope she has a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteFall truly has arrived! Isn't it amazing how fast the time goes?! These grandkids are growing up fast! Enjoy!. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteTime just goes so fast doesn't it. I fight turning on the furnace as long as I can too. I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteGas here is so cheap compared to electricity.
It sounds like you had such a nice weekend.
4 years old... time flies, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI would totally choose tree based on what they look like in the fall and in the spring!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you from 4 years ago!
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun with the T's.
Love the photo. We kind of have fall weather but it has been so changeable, there are days I am still wearing capris and sandals. I am one of those that fight turning on the furnace as long as possible. I use my gas fireplace too but the same is true heat...rice of gas gone up so just as expensive as electricity. Enjoy your week and happy Birthday to your little grand

ReplyDeleteHow sweet that you are so thoughtful about your daughter's heart! There is nothing like a fresh-from-a-good-night's rest little one. Oh, and GO CARDS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLike so many others, I understand about the blogging being sacrificed, too! I hate that I've so slowed down on connecting (and more importantly, *expressing* and creating) that way, but it is what it is! I love this time of the year -- my absolute favorite! And I think we're about to have fall hit, too! Yay! Happy birthday to T#4! I hope her day (and your day spent with her) is marvelous!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the picture....Happy Birthday to T#4!
