Lorelei went home yesterday. This was one of those times I didn't even get the camera out so instead I just have to tell about her first morning. She got here Saturday night....she had been to her other grandma's for part of the day. She calls her 'Grandma L with the pretty white hair!' Makes me wish my hair would just turn white and be done with it.
Anyway, so she had had a full day Saturday...had seen her other grandmother--I can't remember what all she done there. Then they had left there and went to the birthday party of one of her dad's friends. And had children her own age to play with there. A very full day. So she went to bed and was not up to her usual standard of talking and talking.
She slept in till 10:30, comes in here and gets on my lap and tells me good morning, talks a second and gets down to go play. In just a couple minutes she comes back and says, "Guess what I want for breakfast!"
I guess bacon.
She says , "NO!"
I guess smoky links...again I get a very excited no...
So I say sausauge....
She says, "And what else?'
I say, "And Biscuits and Gravy!"
Oh, does she ever get a gleam in her eye....
since Roger had been up and down all night, I was trying to put her off till he felt like getting up...I let her have a little chocolate milk. Thinking she would be okay....and she did go on an play for a while. But sometime later...maybe 45 minutes or an hour, she comes to me and says, "Mamaw, can you fix my food....if you don't I am going to starve to death!"
So I fixed it, and her Papaw was up by then....we sat down to eat....and she would take a bite and say, oh, Mamaw, this sausage is just so good, or oh, Mamaw this gravy is good!
She such a "delight" isn't she? How is Roger doing? I hope he is okay.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of her to appreciate your home cooked food and remember to say so. There are so many kids nowadays who never express their appreciation.
ReplyDeleteshe is a delight to be around and I know she had a really good time with her full day.
ReplyDeleteWe have one in Zumbrota, MN. They are a blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteLove the covered bridge. Hope Rodger is doing better. And your spirits are up too! :)
ReplyDeleteShe is such a charmer isn't she. What a delight. I like covered bridges. Never have seen one out here only in Oregon. Is Roger doing better? I sure hope so. MB
ReplyDeleteHi Rose. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to explain about Roger. I haven't published it yet, because I wasn't sure you wanted me to do that, so it's on stand-by until you say yea or nay. I hope everything works out, and that they can figure out what's causing the "episodes". That's pretty scary, and I'll be thinking of both of you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the key to her heart is good food and good cooking, which you have mastered! LOVE that gorgeous covered bridge, most are not in such good repair.
ReplyDeleteI bet your heart was ready to burst with all that cuteness. ♥
ReplyDeleteThat little gal is so lucky to have two sets of grandparents... I never had any at all --since they were all dead before I was born... Sniff Sniff!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time with her --and she obviously enjoyed the biscuits and gravy and sausage. I would too!!!!!
Great covered-bridge.
Hugs,
Betsy
Aren't granddaughters wonderful?!? Eloise is coming for the weekend this Friday and I cannot wait. They grow up too fast. I want to sprinkle her with "stay little fairy dust" so she will not get any bigger. Love the covered bridge. We only have one left in this area. genie
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet child to tell you how much she appreciates what you do for her!
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge shot! Lorelei is such fun to hear about :-) I don't think her Mamaw would ever let her starve to death.
