Yet Another Favorite

A hot, hot, hot, hot, bath with bubbles. For as long as I can remember I have taken a hot bath each night before I go to bed. This totally relaxes me and gives me just a little alone time in my day. It has become over the years one of my very favorite things. As I have grown older it soothes my aching bones and feels wonderful. I like to read in the tub and have a basket of magazines and books right where I can reach. That brings me to my bathtub secrets. Twice I have dropped a church library book into the water when I fell asleep. Of course I woke up with a start and grabbed the book. A blow dryer has helped to rescue it somewhat. I've never told the librarian My last secret is that my cat lies right beside my tub every night and occasionally likes to lap at the warm water. Try this, you might like it. :)

Another Grandma O favorite

God's word is a precious favorite of mine. Reading its words encourages me, calms me, makes me think, inspires me, gives me courage, gives me hope and makes my heart sing. A couple of secret facts are, I am trying to memorize a verse from every book in the Bible. That little notebook is where I keep track of the ones I am learning. I started in Matthew and have one down for every book through Phillipians. I still have a ways to go. Would anyone want to join me in this challenge? At night when I wake up I say my verses until I go back to sleep. I love doing this. Another secret is that when Larry is gone overnight I sleep with my Bible. I am not sure why, I just like to do that. One of my prayers is that God's Word will be special to each of my grandchildren.

Favorite Things

I decided to do something new. I am going to start a "series" of favorite things of Grandma O. I thought it would fun to remember someday. So here goes with the first thing. Let me know if you enjoy the same things as me or if you think I am weird. Ha

Favorite Things

Nothing is better than a dish of ice cream with chocolate sauce. It makes everything wonderful. I could eat it anytime of the night or day. Some of my ice cream secrets include I have gotten up in the middle of the night and had some, I like to pour the chocolate sauce onto the ice cream in the carton and eat directly from the carton (saves a dish) but it is hard to stop that way. (No I don't serve it to company after that), and I love to eat ice cream while taking a bath.

Fun with Josiah

A few weeks ago we had fun with Josiah. He and his Dad and Mom came for a visit. He delighted us with his smiles, laughs, and hugs. He really loved our basketball. It was a great visit'

Grandpa's Train

Grandpa went to a sale that a school that was closing down had. He was quite excited about this train set that he found for $3.00. It is a nice set complete with 2 trains and two cool bridges. He sat it up and tried it out on the dinning room table. Now he is anxious for some little boys to play with. He also got a bucket of large legos. Way to go Grandpa!
