My granddaughter phoned today
excited about two things she can't tell me.
She said one was a present she made:
'It's small. Can you guess?'
I couldn't.
The second has to do with decorating:
'You're going to like this!'
Squeals and lots more 'Can you guess?'es
got me excited, too.
'Tis the season...
family calls...
Holiday 55 for the G-Man. My granddaughter is seven and I leave to see her and her family the day after tomorrow. I've made the usual promises to myself to keep writing, however, they live in the rain forest of Trinidad where internet connection is spotty. Forgive my lapses. But, I'm excited!
ha. nice. enjoy your time with her...her call would have def given me a smile...and i bet you get a very cool gift...ha
ReplyDeleteShe's into crafts and anything she makes is s gift, indeed! Happy holidays to you and your family, Brian.
DeleteGifts and decorations are nice, but really, it's the excuse to be together that makes it exciting.
ReplyDeleteSo true! I love her enthusiasm.
DeleteChildren get so excited about Christmas, thus get the adults in their life more excited as well. Family is the best gift at Christmas. Hope you have a good one!
ReplyDeleteThe very best gift, Mary. And all good things to you as well.
DeleteThank you for sharing your granddaughter's enthusiasm. Now we want to know what these two things are too!
ReplyDeleteShe could barely contain herself but showed her growing maturity by not telling me. This is the first year for that! Makes it all the more fun.
DeleteThis is sweet and exciting. How wonderful for you - off to Trinidad. I know you'll have a fabulous Christmas. This is the season - save up the experiences and write later. Happy holidays to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gay, and to you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Christmas joy,... I truly would enjoy some of that anticipation..
ReplyDeleteYes, she set up that anticipation that adds to the fun.
DeleteHow fun! I miss having little ones to make Christmas exciting and magical!
ReplyDeleteOur own children grow and then the grands come along. Wonderful.
DeleteThat sounds simply delightful! Children carry the spirit of Christmas and make it all worthwhile. You are a very fortunate Grandmother. But I know you already know that. Safe travels! :-)
ReplyDeleteI do know that and feel grateful.
DeleteLovely Mary and I bet seeing your granddaughter can't come soon enough!
ReplyDeleteMy first grandchild will be one on the 27th and I can't wait for next Christmas, although most probably the one after that, when I can share his enjoyment and excitement.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
Anna :o]
What a great Christmas present! Prepare to fall in love!
DeleteMary, that's so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had Grandkids...Maybe someday...(sigh)
Loved your Long Distance 55
Thanks for playing and sharing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
She is a sweetie and grands are a blessing that bring a whole new dimension to life. May many blessings be yours this holiday season and thanks for bringing joy to so many of us!
DeleteI know you'll enjoy your visit; I love that your girl is so excited. Our granddaughters seem to have a lot in common. Vi loves arts and crafts, and as she starts each project she says this is for Mom, or Annabelle, or Maeve, etc. Have a wonderful family Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYes, they sound similar. She's still loving her pot holder crafts and the purses that can be made from them- always for a particular person. Don't they bring us back to our own little girlhoods? Merriness galore to you and your family as well.
DeleteAwww! enjoy and do tell us about that surprise!
ReplyDeleteI will. I'm really intrigued!
Deleteoh nice... have a great time and oh i couldn't sleep because of curiosity you know...smiles
ReplyDeleteMe too!
