Yesterday we went to Liz 's for a visit. Ted helped Matt split wood and I helped Liz entertain the babies. Here I am holding Max and Layla. These are Liz's grand children, my great grands. Max is almost always smiling and Layla needed a nap. She crawled up on my lap and fell asleep , then I laid her down on the sofa...she slept for about 30-40 minutes. It was so good to be with them. They grow so quickly .
Speaking of growing...We salvaged this playset for Emma , when she was 7 years old, she is twelve now. Liz decided to save it , in case of grandkids. So glad she did. Emma used that fort lots. I miss her wanting to play there. When she came home from school, she brought a friend and they were curling each other's hair when we left to come home. :):)
I always love to look at this well kept barn. There's this barn and a couple of smaller outbuildings, but no home on this nice property. The sky was pretty again. It did rain in the evening and many floods in Indianapolis neighborhoods last night.
Today is End Of Summer Days festival in my daughter's town. We were asked to attend with my daughter Karen's family...but I knew I did not want to walk that much , it's humid and possiblility of rain.
Hope all of you enjoy your weekend. XO
Beautiful greatgrands, you don't look old enough to have any.
ReplyDeleteJanet, Your sweet compliment is going to make me feel good all week. Bless your heart. xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat red barn is so charming, Susie. No one lives there, so I wonder how it stays in good condition? The End of the Summer Days festival sounds fun. Too bad you couldn't go, but I know what you mean about walking.......I can only walk so much, then my feet start to hurt. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a restful weekend, Susie.
love, ~Sheri
ps you look wonderful here with
the great grands. :)
Sheri, The people who own the barn and property surely live near by...for it seems to have been painted not so long ago. Thank you for the compliment...when I left Liz's yesterday, Sheri, I felt wore out. LOL. I think if I could lose about 25 pounds my feet would not suffer as much. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteTrue! You do not look as if you could possibly be anyone's great-grandmother, but since you are, these two are some real cutie pies. That barn is a corker! Always nice to see a sturdy, attractive barn.
ReplyDeleteHi Vee, I wish you could see how sweet the g.grands are in person. I love looking at that barn. It has the letter "P" on the roof...so I call it the pee barn. LOL.. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteNice photos! Love that play set♥ Happy Saturday ♥

Summer, That playset was such a help to Emma...at the time her mommy(my daughter) was going thru chemo for breast cancer..it was a tough time and Emma needed to feel special. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
Deletethose babies are so cute...and yes, they do grow up so so fast.
ReplyDeleteTry to stay cool...it's hot and humid here today...
BJ, I wish we could keep our babies small as long as we would like.LOL. That is why I hug them to pieces when I can. Blessings to you there. It was warm here too. xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, Sweet grandchildren and a great photo of you. I love the pretty and peaceful barn scene. Have a blessed Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mildred. I hope your weekend is going well. get to see some of the grands tomorrow also. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch a sweet post...the babies make us feel worthwhile and full of love. Win/win!
ReplyDeleteJane
Blondie, You are right...nothing like loving on our sweet children and grands...now I have these two great grands. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, you must have married at a very young age to have great grands and look so young! They are beautiful kids. That's really sweet about the fort, too for the kids to keep on using it. That barn is pretty, but why would anybody have a barn and not live on the property, I wonder.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I did get married very young. But I am getting old .LOL. Emma played on that playset so much. Her mommy was going thru chemo for breast cancer at that time and Emma needed to feel special..so we knew she need that playset. It did help her. I don't know where the house from that little farm went ..LOL They still keep that place up. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLoved seeing you with the grands!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's kind of bittersweet when the kids start outgrowing things. Childhood doesn't last as long as we wish it would!
Wonder where the barn owners live??
Linda, I have been sorting pictures, papers and kids art work...I have cried a few tears these past few days. Re-reading some of the cards and letters from my children and grands...dang, I am an old softy. Hope you are having a great weekend, bless you and LD, xoxo, Love you, Susie
DeleteThose babies are so cute! Emma is growing up too fast. Lots of damage your way, for sure. The humidity is terrible. I think its here until at least Thursday. Next 15 days showing 85 and up. Ready for fall~
ReplyDeleteTete, I could feel the humidity coming back in. I just can't believe how hot this summer has been, the crazy amounts of rain when it does come, and so much fog this year. Have you even gotten to sit out on your enclosed deck? I thought of you when I took a picture of some corn here,since you have corn crops , it was turning. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad you had a great visit with Max and Layla. They are precious cuties!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I got some more hug from Max today. We went to see Ted's brother who is in the nursing home near by. So we stopped by Liz's. It was a good day . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a sweet picture of you holding your great grandchildren. They have such beautiful little faces....so angelic!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the "P" on the barn roof stands for. Maybe it is for "Pristine." It is a lovely well kept barn.
I loved being with the little ones...I never see them enough. You know how fast they all grow. Blessings for a beautiful Sunday. xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo sweet Susie to see you sharing time with the great grands. What adorable little ones. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Thank you so much Kris. It's so fun to hug them and sniff their sweet necks. I swear Max is Mr. Happy...smiles almost all the time. Hope you get to see the wee ones in your family. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh what sweet great grands!! I understand about the weather, hot and humid isn't my kind either.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Hi Gert, Hope you are doing well. I so enjoyed my time with the babies...but I was wore out carrying them and crawling on the floor with them. LOL. I am getting so old. LOL Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
