Visiting family in Ohio, I came upstairs to go to bed in Maura’s room.
There she was, sporting every hair bow she owns!
Cheeky.

THANKSGIVING Feast Aftermath GUEST blog
Granddaughter Anna-14- captured and texted me the Thanksgiving Feast Aftermath StillLife
A perfectly illustrated Transformation
If YOU leave a camera or cell phone unattended-
- ….and there is an almost nine year old in the vicinity. Be AWARE.
Happy Ninth Birthday Maura Clare.
October weekend in North Carolina, went to pick up pizza….uh-oh Found an unauthorized selfie on my goid camera, shot in the hotel mirror.
And how did someone get my cell phone on the same trip? Who needs grandma to take your picture? Not Maura!
Selfie in the car!
And on the beach Maura looked up into my Lens and pushed the shutter for this next shot
So three selfies by Maura on her birthday
and a little memory collage with love from your Grandma
There Aren’t Sufficient Adjectives
Kind, generous, considerate, helpful, responsible, creative – a genuinely good person with a thoughtful heart…and I’m not just saying this cause I’m grandmother.
Proud of all you’ve accomplished and looking forward to your future!
Wishing you the happiest birthday, Anna Catherine. Fourteen years old? Wow. I remember the day you were born.
And don’t forget, you’re the one who made up the grandma name Froo Froo (Ruthie)
love you,
FF
Doesn’t look too safe
My granddaughter Anna texted, “Doesn’t look too safe” with these three photos she took on Friday.
Seriously unsafe.
You might remember Anna’s guest blog of pick up full of mannequin legs and another of a driver brushing his teeth.
I can see her taking the photo in the side mirror reflection.
Thanks for being the guest blogger today.
Oh say can you see
Maura watched the rockets red glare-
A fireworks show at The Lakes.
Fireworks fit the theme Transient perfectly.
My brother and sister and I drove 484 miles from Rockford Illinois to Columbus Ohio. Plenty of time until it got dark enough.
What’s in focus?
Focus. In focus Out of focus The weekly photo challenge.
It’s the purple cupcake in focus. Maura ready to devour it. She’s out of focus.
13th Birthday Wish
Dear Anna, May all your wishes come true.
Love, FF Ruthie
Granddaughter Anna makes a wish as she blows out the candles on the cupcakes at the Surprise Party with her friends and family at the Mellow Mushroom.
And at home contemplating a second wish with the family as cousin Charlie looks on.
Maura’s Knitting Knotted Up the Wash
This post is dedicated to my friend V who recently spent a lot of time last week untangling a seriously tangled skein of yarn… I thought of her the whole time I persisted on the following mess.
My granddaughter Maura’s knitting got into the laundry inadvertently.
Went through the washing machine and knotted up the load.
Erika was going to cut it out but I spent time Saturday morning untangling the knotty mess. What satisfaction to detangle the twists and knots. Plain yarn is easier to untangle than fluffy yarn.
Now where is the other needle?
Best Gifts
Anna made me a pop-up card in art! I’ve always loved the engineering behind pop-up books and cards.
The best gifts- handmade with heart.
