What a blessing today has been, I was up with the birds and headed over to spend the day and night with Elyssa. We watched some of her shows, played for a while and she decided to take a bit of a break.
This afternoon we decided to head out for a walk, we were in search of ducks. Elyssa loves ducks!
After walking for a while Elyssa stopped to sit...
We continued on our quest, then rocks became her primary interest. First is was picking up rocks, then it was sitting on the large rocks (I didn't mind one bit, this made for an amazing photo opportunity!)
... and because I was away for such a lengthy period of time, and I'm having such a hard time deciding which one to post, I'm going to post one more of Elyssa, my precious adorable granddaughter who means the world to me.
Oh right... eventually we found the ducks we were in search of. There's a mother and 8 ducklings in the man made lake not far from here. Elyssa was in duck heaven.
Tonight at bedtime without thinking I told Elyssa it was time to crawl into bed, so crawl on our hands and knees we did all the way down the hall right to her bed!
Grandchildren are definitely a gift, a wonderful precious gift.
a little princess!

Thank you Ola, it's so fantastic to be reunited with my precious granddaughter, my heart sings again!
DeleteHave a wonderful day!
She has grown!! what a sweetie...
ReplyDeleteBev she sure has, she now knows how to sing her ABC's and tons of other things she wasn't doing before I left on my excursion clear across the world!
DeleteHave a wonderful Sunday, cheers.
A world without ducks would be a very poor place indeed! Have you read "Jemima Puddleduck " or " The story about Ping" to your duck loving friend - both splendid books.

PS: I have tried to pull together my thoughts about leaving and arriving new places in the last two posts of my "other blog" - you may find them interesting.
Stewart I'll have to see if Elyssa has these books, if not I'll see if I can order them online. Thank you.
DeleteI'll also check out your other blog when time permits, right now my little Chickadee is having her breakfast and I'm sitting with her at the table. What a blessing to have time with her!
Have a wonderful evening.
Cuter by the day !
ReplyDeleteThank you Wong, and smarter by the day! :-)
DeleteHave a wonderful evening!
You are right. Your Elyssa is very nice and you are lucky. I like the landscape too.
ReplyDeleteWish you and Elyssa a good life.
A big hug.
Erika
Thank you Erika, I hope you're having an enjoyable day.
DeleteCheers!
God bless her, Darlene and your family . . . Beautiful pics of a beautiful child :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, that Duck-Mother is raising suspicion, I saw her yesterday here with her 8 Ducklings, how did she make it in 24 hours to Canada ? ? ? . . . Supersonic-Flights are back . . . :-D
Greetz,
Joseph
Thank you Joseph, my pride and joy... wait a second I mean Elyssa not you! LOL
DeleteAnd supersonicness the birds today possess most likely comes from eating in fast-food parking lots! ;-)
Have a wonderful week my friend.
Cheers.
LOL ... True True ... :-D
Delete:-) Have a wonderful day my friend!
DeleteIt's hard to beat grandchildren and ducklings!
ReplyDeleteGalen it's near impossible to beat quality time spent with my beautiful granddaughter! :-) Have a wonderful week and welcome home.
DeleteLooks like you guys had a blast. Thanks again for watching her for us mom!
ReplyDeleteShayne it's such a pleasure to spend time with Elyssa; she's such a precious, intelligent and fun(ny) little girl. You and Sandy are the most amazing parents and it shines through Elyssa's behaviors.
DeleteWe did have a lot of fun, now you get to see the photos she told you I was taking. :-)
What a little darling....(no pun intended!) I can see a bit of devil in her eyes though!. Your header picture could have been taken this minute right out my window, minus the koala of course. Seems everyone is changing headers lately, something in the air I guess.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joyce, I thought it was high time to revamp, a change is as good as a rest I've heard. I also have a bit more time to play around on my computer, I don't have to procrastinate nearly as much, but still a wee bit. I have 2 courses I have to quit talking about and get done! lol
DeleteHave a wonderful week, cheers.
Sounds like Grandma had lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteLittle kids are such direct thinkers that crawl into bed just means that...crawl.
Red never a dull moment, I had a blast spending time with Elyssa!
DeleteI love the direct thinking of children, it makes me think about what I'm saying. :-)
Have a wonderful week Red!
The first photograph of Elyssa is so beautiful (only one eye, looking at you)!!
ReplyDeleteMonika thank you. I had to go back and look again... Elyssa's eyes are so mesmerizing! Even though she's only looking at me with one eye open all the way I can get lost in those eyes.
DeleteEnjoy your week, cheers.
Oh what a wonderful time you are both having. I love the photos expecially the 1st one.
ReplyDeleteDavine isn't it the best thing in the entire world to be a Grammy? I just LOVE it.
DeleteThank you for the complement on the photos, I had a ton of fun taking them. :-)
Those photos are joyous - I can't wait until your beautiful Elyssa has her own camera to take on your walks and you can post the photos she takes of you.
ReplyDeleteBeverly thank you and Elyssa has her own camera, I just didn't know where it was... next time I'll ask so she can take photos too. I'm sure she would LOVE to see her pictures on the computer too, she really enjoyed looking at mine, especially the ducks! :-)
DeleteHave a wonderful week!
