A WEEKEND FULL OF SURPRISES

All kinds of unforeseen events
wait lurking to surprise you
and make you glad you're
alive!



 






 
 
It was a weekend full of surprises,
good, wonderful surprises.
 
My sweet girl came up to stay
with me for the night.
We drew, played horses, raced
up and down the drive, played
on the rope swing, ate pizza,
laughed and enjoyed being
with each other.
 
Saturday night was the party
to celebrate an early birthday
for my oldest son who is turning
30 on January 22. It was also
the gender reveal of my second
grandbaby, it's a boy and his
name is Porter Jernigan Tims!
 
Sunday arrived with a fever and
an ear ache [something I deal with
often], so I spent the day resting
and putting drops in my ear. Thankfully
today I am feeling much better and
am ready to enjoy an extra day off.
Enjoy your week.

  1. A boy!!!!!!!! How exciting....for you AND Emerson!!! Cousin boys are the best (at least according to my granddaughters.....much better than a brother, because they are fun and then they go home!!!!!)
    Glad the ear ache didn't last too long. Enjoy a relaxing day!!!!

  5. I am glad you are feeling better today. You and the family must be so thrilled to welcome a little boy. Just think of all the baby knits you get to make now... :-)
    Oh, about the earache... We used to chop up an onion, wrap it in a piece of cloth, heat it up as warm as one can stand it and place it on the ear. Our girls really disliked the smell, but it always seemed to help.

  13. Congrats! So exciting about the new grand on the way...we're having another granddaughter! Our Charlotte is practicing being a big sister by playing with her baby doll. I bought a couple board books off Amazon for her about when a new baby comes that the daughter in law says she's enjoying. :) So sorry about your earache.

  15. WooHoo. A baby boy! How exciting. It sounds like your time with Emerson is like C's with her Oma and Papa. They play hard and then she comes home exhausted but wants me to play as well. Glad your feeling better.
