It sounds like that Millie is more than a ray of sunshine; she sounds absolutely adorable.<br />I love my Grandchildren more than I can ever say, and reading about yours just makes my heart do flips! (That's a good thing! :)) ) I love reading about your Granddaughter's visit with you and understand full well the need for the one-on-one time that they all desire. How wonderful that she loved the mirrors and clocks! Isn't is amazing what catches their eye and their hearts, Maggie. <br />I send you much love.<br />Harry, too.<br />Love you both,<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-56080581361921281312012-06-19T23:32:29.333+01:002012-06-19T23:32:29.333+01:00What a beautiful post Maggie...just wonderful...What a beautiful post Maggie...just wonderful...Sandi McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033518416111957858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-9352904289407228622012-06-19T21:31:51.373+01:002012-06-19T21:31:51.373+01:00Proof that children really do say the funniest thi...Proof that children really do say the funniest things.

It's usually the things that we don't think about that they remember the most. <br /><br />I used to have sleepovers at my grandma's house when I was little and I always remember her fabulous antique double bed that I slept in. I used to feel so comforted in that bed. And now, we have one in the farmhouse that is also an antique so it feels like my grandma is still here in many ways.<br /><br />CJ xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-63793286236973706052012-06-18T19:53:04.543+01:002012-06-18T19:53:04.543+01:00that was supposed to be 4 and 3, not $!!!that was supposed to be 4 and 3, not $!!!Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-60704266103401115352012-06-18T19:52:41.115+01:002012-06-18T19:52:41.115+01:00Oh you are so lucky to have a grandchild come to s...Oh you are so lucky to have a grandchild come to stay overnight.

You must have some very special cereal:)<br /><br />My grandkids enjoy spending the night here, too, though I'm not sure why--perhaps it's because Grandma lets them get away with more and lets them stay up later.

And isn't it fantastic though that we -you and I -both have the opportunity afforded us to develop close relationships with our grandchildren too though! Last week, I had to go to a little town about 15 miles from here to see one of my school classmates as he had offered to take care of copying any papers we need copied over for our upcoming class reunion. Now the drive to where he lives/works is through the mountains and heavily forested area and it is a very pretty drive, for sure. I hadn't realized though how much it impacted Miss Maya though (I had taken her along with me) until last evening when we were driving over to Clearfield another town about 20 miles from home and Maya told me she wished we could have enough money to go live in Karthaus (where my classmate lives) because "It is just such a beautiful place!" Her perceptions of things sometimes really take me very much by surprise, for sure!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-9990896139553402872012-06-16T15:37:48.154+01:002012-06-16T15:37:48.154+01:00This is precious!
