Today was a day that i will put in my little memory box to remember years from now. I'm sure most of you have had those days but i consider mine to be extra special!!! Why you ask? Well i have the privilege to experience life with not 2, or 3, but 4 generations.....Yes i have my granny, my momma, and my precious baby girl. I feel honored for my baby girl to have her noni and her granny so close to her. You don't hear very often anymore about people still having there grandparents let alone great grandparents!!!!

So anyway back to my day full of fun memories! We decided that since i don't live in the same town as my family anymore and because i am here visiting we should have a girl's day;) So we packed up in my granny's car and headed for our fun shopping trip! We had a few "important" stops we had to make first so after we finished those we decided to get some sustenance before we started the more "serious" shopping. So to Islands we went for some tuna sandwiches and their very own, from scratch, french fries...mmmm are they good. Then we made it to the mall with our bellies full ready to shop! We shopped and laughed and people watched(which we happen to be pros at) and boy did we see some sights!!!lol Then we shopped some more and there were more laughs. Oh and believe it or not my little kiddo was very well behaved....well at least to us!! I'm sure the people sitting in Barnes and Noble who were trying to quietly read and sip their coffee thought different but who cares right?! It could have been much worse people trust me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today was truly a great day with the people in my life that i love the most. God has richly blessed me with a loving, caring mother, a silly, sweet, cozy granny, and a beautiful, ornery, smart, crazy, spoiled(with love that is), baby girl.

So anyone who has the privilege of still having one or more of their grandparents, take every opportunity to spend time with them. Listen to all the wisdom and knowledge they have to give. I think we get to caught up in our own lives and comfortable with knowing that our grandparents are just right down the street or a few hours away that we take for granted how precious they really are and that they might not be with us tomorrow. So maybe you have a grandparent you need to call or go visit......You have know idea how that little gesture of love can affect them.
So glad you had that day! It's quite an adjustment moving away, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAnd now I think I must call my grandmother tomorrow. :)
