What a fun time I had with Michelle and Oli on Thursday, St. Patricks Day, when they invited me to a tea party at the Sister's Tea House, Fenton.
I arrived at their house to find Oli looking out the glass door anxiously awaiting her special tea party day. Because she loves pretty dresses, and didn't have a green fancy dress, she informed her mom that "I can't wear GREEN to the Sister's Tea House." I was able to help her out a bit with a new green bow I had made for her hair.
We arrived around 11:15 and went straight upstairs where there is an abundance of fancy dresses, hats and more hats, gloves, boas, and jewelry. We all had fun trying on "new looks". Grandma had fun taking pictures! The fun ended abruptly when the fire alarm sounded! Opps! We had to go......
The alarm turned out to be a false alarm so we were then seated for lunch. Beautiful tea cups, lace, flowers, adorned the tea room. Our waitress took our order then asked Oli if she would like to pick out her tea cup? The pot of tea was brought to our table and we enjoyed sipping it together.
If you haven't enjoyed a girls day out in a while, I'd would recommend you take your girls to Sisters Tea House in Fenton. There is a memory there just waiting to be made.
Being a grandparent is one of the greatest joys of my life. I love each and everyone of my grandkids and understand fully the saying, "If I knew how great it was going to be having grandkids I would have had them first".
On Thursday I had the privelege of attending what would probably be my last grandparents day, for Olivia. Grandpa had to attend the funeral of a very close friend so I was the only one who could go.
It was such fun to watch her march in and take her place on the platform. She spotted her other set of grandparents, her great-grandparents, and myself before the singing even started. Of course we were waving, taking pictures and making ourselves look foolish along with a large room of other grandparents doing the same thing.
Oli sang her songs and then was released to show her grandparents to the cookies and then her classroom. She was very proud to be the center of attention and of course we were more than happy to do our part.
Oli is growing up so fast and will probably be my last grandchild. Parents miss having babies but so do grandparents. Maybe I'll just have to volunteer at one of the children's hospitals someday. You know, the ones where people just come in a rock new-borns. Sounds like that would be a hard job now, wouldn't it?
I haven't posted here for a long while and I'm not sure why. I have been really busy and a little tired in the evening when I have the time to write. When I'm tired, it's hard to write. I also went through the winter feeling somewhat stressed about so much work and some things that were totally out of my control.
In January I finally broke down and went to the doctor only to find that my blood pressure was through the roof and my cholesterol was way too high. This happens to me every winter. I think it is the fact that I have been stuck inside with all the cold and all I want to do is cook and eat!
I have already got the blood pressure lowered with exercise, medication, and letting go of stress. The cholesterol....well we'll see in a couple of months.
I hope to be back to making regular posts about Holmans Happenings. I love my family and I need to start writing about them. I will save my other site to post about my hobbies, crafting and simple living.
Thanks for checking in on me.
