Great Grandma time etc.













Our two weeks with Grandma came and went in a blink ... for us anyway! We kept busy but Grandma didn't seem to get played out at all! She took over a few jobs like drying dishes and folding laundry and took on new jobs of baking bread and buns on a regular basis! The house smelled just like I remember Grandpa and Grandma's house smelling ... with fresh buns waiting when we would go there after school. I brushed up on my crochet skills again and Samara and Keithan tried to learn how. Samara has big plans to make Auntie's baby a blanket. She started with pink yarn and Keithan started with blue, so we should be covered! We also had the workers stay with us for a few nights so the extra helping hands were appreciated. It snowed a bit when she was here and the kids, along with the neighbors, made a great snowman. We went boot shopping and were eventually successful but thankfully we didn't need boots for long. The weather could really not have been better for this time of year. On Thursday we took Grandma to meet a very excited Tenielle! We had some pizza together with Grandma, Shane and Tenielle and then headed back home to a quiet house. Phil had left on Thursday as well to finish combining and eventually did finish on Friday afternoon. So we are back to normal now, or normal for our family anyway. Now we're looking forward to some company coming for the Remembrance Day "sort of long weekend".
