I have been absent from my blog for a few weeks but for a good reason. Two of my grandsons came to visit! While they were visiting, I didn’t even pick up a book, which is highly unusual for me. I take a book with me everywhere I go and read whenever I have a spare moment.
We had a fantastic time hiking at Natural Bridge State Park in Kentucky, where we took the ski lift to the top of the cliff, and riding roller coasters at Cincinnati’s Kings Island Amusement Park. Now, I must tell you, I would never ride a ski lift or roller coaster any other time. High places terrify me, but if it’s with my grandsons, I will try almost anything. The amusement park took a photo of everyone on The Beast, and yes, there I am with a look of sheer terror on my face. The time flew by, and they have returned to Boston, the house is neat and tidy, and I am missing them terribly. Now it is back to work. I promise to blog more regularly, that is until my son and his wife have their first child in September. Then I will pack up and head out to Alexandria, VA to cuddle that new little one, and of course, to help out.
I am currently reading BELLA SUMMER TAKES A CHANCE by Michele Gorman and will have a review up shortly.

Time well spent! (And such handsome grandsons – but then, YOU know that. You’re their grandmother!)

“High places terrify me, but if it’s with my grandsons, I will try almost anything”. That’s why Grandparents are special. They are the best thing to have in our lives. I miss spending time with my grandparents.
I am glad you had a good time. I am sure the boys love you a lot. 🙂

You are so right. My Gramma is my role model. Even though she’s been gone for years, I still feel her influence on my life.
