Not-Quite-Country Girl

I may be a tad bit biased, but that kid in the Santa hat is the cutest thing ever!

Our son Kyler and his sweet family live near Cincinnati, about an hour and 45 minutes drive away.

This week marked new beginnings for three...well actually four...more of my grandchildren.

How did 45 years pass by so quickly?!

For the very first time, all four of our next-door grandchildren are off to school.

Fourth-grade music class for Shenandoah students always involves learning to play recorders.

This time of year, especially, everyone's wondering...how did this happen?

Where did the time go???

That's my second-grader...front row middle, striped shirt and khaki shorts, waving and grinning!

It's so exciting to see someone I love totally in their element, loving every moment of what they're doing, and doing it very well.

Smiles like these are what brighten Gramaw's days and make me love this time of year.
