SNOW IN FEBRUARY



I'm a little late getting a picture of the snow on my blog. We had two little snows and everything was so beautiful for a few minutes. This picture looks like a black and white but isn't. This is in front of my house.

REMEMBERING MA

All of you know that I wouldn’t have a blog if it wasn’t for these two beautiful granddaughters. Instead of carrying around a purse full of pictures I just post them on my blog for everyone to see.

When I was working in high school as the counselor I had a wonderful friend that was famous for always having pictures of her grandchildren. She never missed an opportunity to show them off.

I loved this lady. She was such a character. I am responsible for giving her the name of Ma. She always signed all of her notes with a MA, which was her first and last name. Well finally I started calling her Ma. The name caught on and everyone in school started calling her Ma.

The reason I mention this friend is because recently I accused another of my friends of being like MA and always showing off pictures of her great-granddaughter on her phone. She scolded me with the comment that I didn’t show mine off on the phone but had them splashed all over the internet on my blog. So true!

I really think blogging is so much fun. I just regret not doing it when my daughter was small and the granddaughters were babies. Several of my former students have blogs and it is so enjoyable to check in on their lives and see their beautiful families. Without Facebook, My Space and Blogging all of these people would be lost to me. Thank God for technology! It keeps me connected to the world.

So if you get tired of seeing my granddaughters, my animal stories and an occasional outing then look over at my Blog Log and visit some of the other blogs I follow. I just regret that I haven’t found many others that are out there.
