The Grand Baby Guest Post

Hi!  Because today is my C-pa's birthday, my Oma is letting me tell you a little bit about him.

C-pa is the name for my grandpa.  I don't know why, that's just what he's called.  But it's the coolest name ever.  I even have a little hand motion I do when I say it!  C-pa is the only one in the whole family who gets a sign along with his name.

He plays with me lots and lots!  He even sits in the floor when I tell him, and lets me jump off the ottoman.  It's OK, because I know he'll catch me so I don't get hurt.

He teaches me about football.  He likes to watch it a lot.  He says the best team is the Cleveland Browns (which confuses me, because their helmets are orange - not brown.  Maybe they should be the Cleveland Oranges.  I like oranges)

C-pa gives me all kinds of treats.  Whenever he's eating something yummy, all I have to do is climb up in his lap and he'll share with me!

He's very, very tall.  He is so tall, when he lifts me up I can touch the ceiling.  I like to do it over and over and over again!

 He makes me laugh.  He is so funny.

And he is the best peek a boo player I know!

My C-pa is a great guy.  We have a lot of fun together.

I hope he has a happy birthday today!

Wooly Worm Weather

The weather is so wacky right now.  After a cooler than normal, very very wet summer - we have entered into a warmer than usual fall.   It seems even the wooly worms are confused!

Wait...

Let me back up a bit. 

For those of y'all not from around here - wooly worms (aka: wooly bear caterpillars) are fuzzy little caterpillar creatures.  They are typically banded with black and brown stripes, which some folks in these parts believe can predict the weather for the coming winter.  Why, just north of here - there's even an entire festival dedicated to these furry little cuties!


Problem is... we are spotting wooly worms with all varieties of color!  I've seen banded ones which were mostly black, banded ones that are mostly brown, and solid brown ones.  The Man of the House even says he saw a "blond" one!

Have you spotted any wooly worms around?  What did yours look like?

I'm a paid blogger y'all!  This is the check I received.  Yeh... don't hate me because I'm awesome.  LOL!!

Picture October: Day 4

These flowers are growing randomly and wild at the end of our road.  I kept commenting how pretty they are, and the female offspring stopped on her way home to pick a couple for me!

A Spirit of Gratitude: October 3

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

Coming home from shopping to a cleaned house
Realizing how small I am in God's presence
Freshly washed sheets
Candy corn

I love these swirly glass votive holders.  They were made even better by the fact that I got both of them on clearance sale at Target for less than half the original cost of one!

Picture October


For the month of October I am challenging myself to post a picture each day.  A snapshot of life as I know it... my reality. 

If this goes well, I plan to continue the picture a day as my "30 Days of Gratitude" series for this November.  Each day posting a picture of something for which I am thankful.
