Amazed

I never cease to be amazed by my family. All good of course. I sent Meghan my granddaughter in her freshman college yr. some money. (I did the same for her sister Amy) I got a thank you note the very next week. She really appreciated it and said so because it was totally unexpected and it doesn't have to be spent any certain way. How many of us have $ come into our hands that doesn't have to be earmarked for this or that? Hardly ever, right? There is always something it needs to be spent on, bills, gas, etc. Now the amazing part, the thank you note. My daughter has always taught the children simple courtesy's. They took!!!! Lessons learned. And they will make a difference in life how they are treated. Good manners and thoughtfulness always make a more likable person.
Next is my daughter. She is always amazing me. She is the best mother i know. She is open to learning, doing and experiencing new things. Alway surprising her family with new receipes she looks up. Some aren't hits, others are and she shares them on her blog fo those of us who are always cooking the same old things. Not that they aren't good, but there's no adventure in them. Robin is full of adventures. Check out her blog you will see. you can reach her thru mine. She has two sets of children. Those 2 in college, and the 2 younger ones 9 and 5. The youngest a boy Eli, who leads her into all sorts of adventures. He is at an age he is very entertaining. Mugging at a camera, dancing around, saying those things that make you laugh, or say where did that come from? he is just a joy to be around. Sophie on the other hand is a very sweet girl, who is curious, asks questions, quietly plays by herself. Smart as can be, and very touchy feelie. A real special little girl. Now don't get me wrong, the other 2 older girls don't lack anywhere either. Both are good girls, working hard to graduate and go out into the world and make their lives a success. Maybe i should say young women instead of girls, because they are now. Also very loving, family is important to both of them. As it should be for all of us. We should never out grow our families. We have only one and only one chance to live this life with them. So always cherish and appreciate them while you can. too soon life moves on. The older you get the older they get and time catches up on some of us quicker than others. So live, laugh, and love as the sign says. You will never get enough of either one. So long from this beach mama until next time.
