Grandmas are just antique little girls
Weekends are nice for this Grandma. Highlights of it are going grocery shopping with hubby; somehow we look forward to it like it is a date, teehee. I like him a lot, and with all the bumps in the road, he seems to always make it be fine. Appreciated. Wanted. Welcome. Loved. Now how is a person supposed to function in that kind of atmosphere? Well, I hold a mirror up and it all shines right back onto him. Even when he gets on my nerves sometimes we still have this little world we have created for ourselves, with the help, I am sure, of God.
I have done lots of things in my different stages of life. It is hard sometimes to believe I am as old as my age, since I still feel like a 20 year old inside. So there is something to the adage that Grandmas are just antique little girls. I relate to all ages, because I have been all ages. haha. That seems funny to say.
This weekend hubby has a reprieve from crawling under the house to insulate the recently installed water pipes, because his neck has made it so he hasn't been able to get much sleep at nights for over a week. His chiropractor said it wasn't a good idea to do it today. And then last night he slept through for once, which was nice. He himself didn't wake up hurting like he usually has been, but his snoring woke me several times. But what's a grandma to do. He snored through two doors too, when I take to the other bedroom. But I still love the guy.
I finished the baby quilt for Hubby's daughter, due in December. The blanket is beautiful, and fit for a little prince. It will be a car seat blanket for the little one though, instead of a crib blanket. I only had two of the discontinued Bernat Lulu yarn of that color. I will take it to her when we go there for dinner Nov 4th. I'm sure she will like it and use it.
I have so many ideas for the next project, but haven't decided which one I will tackle next. My knitting is just the basic stitch but still fun for me to do. My Mother used to knit all the time, crochet, and embroider. I first tried to knit when I was 10 years old or so, and I would do it with nails and string, trying to be like my Mother. I couldn't get past the second row. But she did get me started on sewing blocks for baby blankets, and later on when I was a teenager I made quilts for my hope chest, and embroidered pillow slips, etc.
I don't do horoscopes, but when I signed in online today, the thing was right in front of my eyes saying that a friend might be not telling me a truth today, thinking they would be protecting me. For me to learn the truth myself. Now those zodiac things are something I don't base my days or my thinking on. Actually, any of them could probably fit Anybody, if you know what I mean. But I got to thinking about it. And I think I prefer knowing the truth of a matter. Then could make rational decisions. Being shielded is nice, but it is also nice to know what you are being shielded from. No, tell me the truth, and let me deal with it, or even help me deal with it, please.
That may be the secret to a good marriage, or my marriage anyway. We know what we are up against, and hand in hand face it together. There's a comradere that comes with it. Even when we argue about it, we are kind, considering each other; loving each other through it. I know that God knows what we are going through, and that He cares, and He loves me, and that bases my decisions.
And I appreciate the life God has given to me, and don't take things for granted.
Just wanted to check in, to keep posting on the blog. I will sign off before I erase everything. K
