awwww jewels you sound like you had the best day ever, i only wish we could live in the country and have horses for the girls, they would totally love.
and how refreshing that i hear someone buying their granchild a creative thing instead of all the hyped up computer games consoles.
brilliant blog friend
take care and be well

Ya know frags, I was trying to think of something that I did when I was around 6 years old and I remember making tons of those silly pot holders. Didn't think I would still be doing it into my 50's LOL...... And no, I don't buy her computer games her parents and other grandparents do enough of that. I like to buy her things she can use her imagination on, or be creative with, or read. We just found out that she will be in the Gifted program at school. She is in the 1st grade and reading at 3rd & 4th grade levels. I would like to think that I encouraged it. LOL Maybe it just runs in "MY" family. LOL

good for you jewels
i think that luke may also go into the gifted children program, but it has taken them far too long now and i hope it is not too late.
he too was reading 4th and 5th grade books at primary school.
i wish her all the very best.

Haha i liked this blog...I thought it was very sweet! I love horses :)

Me too DefineMe, it really is my passion now. I just wish I had more time.

It's great you had that time with Skipper and before you know it you'll be posting a blog about him coming back for Spring. I hope he enjoys his winter holiday. It will give you time to make a whole lot more pot holders - lol.

Yeah your right E. LOL I always look forward to the day when he comes home. It is an exciting time at my house. Hope you are feeling better!
