Back To Normal....

  I really do not know what you call normal. What is normal? We are without children here today. We took Emma home  yesterday. On our way, we picked up two more of our grandchildren, took them all to lunch.
 There's a farm restaurant in the town where Emma lives, so we took the kids there for lunch.
They all ate well, except Emma. She told Savannah what to order and she ordered the same.  Then when it came she just didn't want to eat it. So Skylar and Savannah ate Emma's lunch. LOL.  We delivered all the children home safely. I stayed a while with Emma, till her mom came home .
  Ted and Matt, Emma's father were cutting wood. They are trying to get their wood piles stocked for the next winter season. It has to be seasoned wood, so the cutting is now.
  Hope everyone has a beautiful day. XO

  2. Sounds like a fun time. Normal is also a little quiet at times, isn't it. :-)

    1. The fellows are cutting all the trees lost during a storm last month. Plus Matt knows of others that have to be cut out of fences. Last year we all went through a huge wood pile and saved on fuel. Which was getting up to 5 dollars a gallon. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  7. Pretty pictures! Sounds like you are keeping busy with the grands. I don't know what normal is anymore, either. Just when I think I have the day to myself to get something done, you can bet something else will come up to keep me from it!

    1. Cheryl, I know what you mean. I love having my grands here...but it's job....plus the cleaning once they are gone. I wash the heads, the young girls that is. Do nails...make sure they are brushing their teeth enough while here. I know I raised my own by screaming and yelling. LOL. poor girls. xoxo,Susie

  8. Had to laugh. Your life sounds like mine. The Colorado kids left last night. I was sure I would be alone today. Nope I have Mabel. It's okay though. Is Emma's tummy still not up to par. I have had a messed up tummy for a few days. Her tummy ache was awhile ago but sounds like food still isn't too appealing. Poor girl. You are a good Grammy.

    1. Thank you Debby. I think Emma just doesn't wash her hands well enough at times. That is where kids get a bit of salmonella. Plus they have animals, plus I truly think she needed to use the restroom, with her grumbly tummy. xoxo,Susie

    1. Judy, I used to think that once a person retired , it would be all fun, all the time...boy was I mistaken. It still work and more work ..takes longer to do the work and longer to heal up after working. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  14. I'm interested in particular where the first photo was taken. Though there are many parks and green spaces around here, to find anything rural looking you have to travel west or north about 30 or 40 miles. Western Ma. in particular looks nothing like eastern Ma.
    I'm glad you enjoyed your time with the little ones.

    1. Boston Boy, that first picture is across the road from our house. I thought the sky looked pretty, the sun was setting, you can see the reflection on the two short post. I love having fun with the grands, but they are growing so fast. Emma is our youngest granddaughter and she's , ten. Glad to see you are enjoying your retirement, xoxo,Susie

    1. Kimberly, I turn the TV on for company, some times. Sad. Do you ever feel lonely, when it's just you and your husband ?

  16. That is interesting that they cut the wood already for the winter season. I haven't had a wood burning fireplace for a few years, and I really miss it. These are pretty flowers, Susie, and I love the vibrant pink color.
