		<description><![CDATA[On Easter Sunday Garret, Amalie and I decided to do it up with the full ham dinner. We bought the smallest ham we could find (and still have TONS in the freezer), made cheesy potatoes, Grandma Eddie&#8217;s rolls, and a wonderful spinach salad. The dinner was delicious and the day was peaceful and reflective. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite quotes is: &#8220;There are years that ask questions; and years that answer them,&#8221; by Zora Neale Hurston. It goes right along with my belief that life is full of seasons, whether they last months, years, days or hours. Right now is the season for me to support those around me. When [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret&#8217;s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine&#8217;s Day, right? And the week often includes President&#8217;s Day which [...]]]></description>

Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I&#8217;m not old, I won&#8217;t ever get there. And every birthday I have [...]]]></description>

One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift! We were sad [...]]]></description>

I took most of them, but Garret grabbed a couple of the night shots so I could be in them (we don&#8217;t want it to look like Garret lived alone!). We also attended a trunk-or-treat event in our neighborhood, but I forgot my camera for [...]]]></description>

What a gift for me to get to read about so many wonderful, special Grandmas and what they have meant to some of you. Thanks for sharing such special memories and traditions!

That their struggles are easier on them because they have optimism in their [...]]]></description>

Sundays are reserved for worship, family, and renewal (read: afternoon nap!). Ahhh&#8230; but Fridays! Fridays are definitely my next favorite and holy [...]]]></description>
