The Key

This is a very special key...the key to Brittanie's heart. Ava, her little daughter, holds that key.

Love is a beautiful thing, especially love of a mother and child. May God bless both of them with that special love that appreciates and respects and lasts forever.

Turn Your Clocks Ahead

Tonight we turn our clocks forward one hour. We have done ours early in an attempt to get to bed on time,  so that we won't be late to church tomorrow.  That fact reminds me of the last time I did a layout with a clock. It was at 12:00 midnight when 2020 arrived here in Ohio.

I always wait up for it, since I am a night owl anyway, but my hubby doesn't. He goes to bed early, a always!  It was only 8:30 when this picture was taken and he was about ready to head to bed, with Maggie not far behind. In the meantime, he lays on the sofa 'watching TV and she lays there at his head and sleeps a few winks herself.  Where am I? Why at the computer, of course.

Happy Daylight Savings  Time. There are some who are pushing to make this our last time change. That will make it permanently Daylight Savings Time. I would love to see that happen. For one thing, we have a very large clock for which Ron has to use a tall ladder to change its hands.

I also appreciate the extra hour of light in the evenings.

Lauren and Britt have been friends for a long time. They don't see each other as much as they did, now that Britt is a mother. It was great to see them able to enjoy some time together.

We Love Books

So many books, so little time...Books make life so much more interesting. You can see that we love

books. I love to see the grandchildren enjoying books.

Just for fun I am quoting Groucho Marx words on books:

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."

This  smile on Ava's face is definitely one of the sweetest of all smiles.  Of course this is her great grandmother doing the writing, so it is possible  there is  a little prejudice in that statement, but  I don't think so.

I love this picture that was taken on Christmas Eve of Beth and her little daughter, Julia.
I am  blessed to be Julia's grandmother and  to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.

Tiger Heaven

Ashley surely loves her tigers. She has collected them for many years.  She and her friend Jay had their picture taken with a pile of those tigers. It is a pretty cool picture, especially  with those big smiles on their faces.
