More Than Quilting, Once in Awhile

This week included

some utility sewing.

Every two year old boy

who loves cars and trucks

and anything with wheels

needs new curtains

that are for big boys.

These are things that Nana's 

just have to do.

 Quilts and arty things just

have to wait.

Even Michelangelo had

(online photo)
 to paint ceilings once in awhile.

New Skills for My Resume

The first thing a person needs 

to when changing careers is to

update their resume.

With my current employment 

coming to a close this week,

I needed to think about what new or

 refreshed skills I had acquired.

Here's what I'm thinking about adding:

1.  Being able to do repetitve activities

with a continual smile and enthusisam.

2. Being able to stay up with a body in continual motion.

3. Being able to motivate or distract or redirect

a body that's in continual motion.

4. My increased ablitiy for problem

and puzzle solving.

5. Being able to keep all the balls

bouncing at the same time.

6.  Being able to wipe away a tear and add a  kiss

 

to make it all better again.

With these added skills,

I'm sure there's a new opportunity

just waiting for me.

My Days Are Numbered

 May, 2013 

seemed a long way off
a year and a half ago.

With Running Man's blessings

and his total support

I agreed to become 

 the Nana nanny,
  watching and nurturing and loving 

these two little grand babies.
while their mamas returned to 

their careers.

I was committed for 18 months,
living in Denver during the week and
returning home on the weekends.

We wanted 

 these little ones to be able

 to stay at home as long as they could

before having to adjust to a different situation.

With the flip of the calendar,

my days are now numbered and

in just a few short weeks, my life will

change once again.

We've developed a pretty special relationship,

these two special little people and me,

and even without our daily play dates

I know we'll always have a special bond.

Until Next Time-

Nana

 Life consists of many chapters.

Each chapter can tell a story of 

love, drama, or comedy.

It's been a year since

I started the chapter of my life

affectionately known as Nana.

Or "Nanny Nana".

Many of you know that I am away from 

my home and Running Man during the week

and spend time making memories and helping out

 two of my daughters and 

these two special people 5 days a week.

Before I embarked on this commitment,

there were many considerations 

that were thought about and debated.

It's been a remarkable journey,

for all of us.

(Thank you, son in laws).

Everdeen and Sanford have become

an important part of my daily life.

This extra time for them to be able to be at home,

spending time together as cousins, learning and growing,

and playing with Nana
  has been a valuable opportunity.

My stint continues until the end of May.

 Then I'll  close this particular chapter and 

start another,

but until then

the 3 of us will continue to 

hang out together.

Until Next Time-

Lots of Pink

I had company last weekend.

The house suddenly seemed

filled with 

PINK!

Everdeen Kate
came to visit Nana.

It looks like we had fun.

And we did.

Hope you have a fun weekend too.

Until Next Time-
