Nothing beats the midwinter blues like a visit from a little grandson. Works like magic every time. Once welcoming hugs from the doting grandmother are out of the way, the little man jumps on the phone to ring his farmer uncle to announce he is here.
What to do when the uncle has visitors and can't take him farming immediately? He readies himself for farm duties and finds a spot from which he can see when the visitor leaves. And doesn't leave that post until he sees the strange car is gone.
He sure loves being busy and when it's not possible to be out and about with Uncle Danny he's just as happy to be busy inside, under the watchful eye of cousin, Georgia.
He even does the dishes! No wonder I miss him so much after he's gone.
After a week his farm overalls reflect the fun he's had. And the grin couldn't be bigger.
Oh my goodness...what precious [and priceless] memories for you all! What a wonderful, beautiful reflection of your time together! I love each and every photo you shared with us.
ReplyDeleteI have TWO grandsons, but they're both in their 20s now, in age. Your grandson is the perfect age....tender, loving, curious, energetic and more!!!
My other grandson is in his 20s, too, Anni. It was a long wait for this one! It's worth the wait, though.
Deletethis is such a HAPPY post. i can feel his joy and yours.. wow, dishes TOOO???
ReplyDeleteYep, even the dishes!
DeleteIt sounds like your Grandson brings smiles to everyone near and far!
ReplyDeleteHe does as far as I'm concerned. He's certainly adored by everyone in our family.
DeleteAw, so cute. Understand each goodbye must be hard!
ReplyDeleteIt is, Monica. I miss him awfully for a few days after he's gone.
DeleteI remember clothes like that. I was told they weren't too large they were to allow for growing room.
ReplyDeleteThe size didn't worry him, Adrian. He thought they were special because they had been his cousin's.
DeleteYou're fortunate to have such a charming visitor. By the looks of him he had a good time and granny just had to have the combinations for him to wear.
ReplyDeleteHe had a fabulous time, Red. And so did I!!
DeleteWhat a sweetie! There is nothing like the mixed feelings a grandmother has when a little one is so distraught on leaving. On the one hand 'oh dear, it's terrible to see him so unhappy'....and then on the other hand I find myself smiling a little as I remember his Dad when he'd have to leave HIS grandmother's place. The circle keeps turning.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, it's wonderful to have real life reminders of our own children.
DeleteYour grand children are beautiful. Love the hug shot. I bet you both had fun but I reckon you would have been more tired when it was all over. I like the Winnie the Pooh quote.
ReplyDeleteLovely quote, isn't it, Di?
DeleteA dear young fellow...one worthy of your love and pride. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good time was had by all. And that's a great quote at the top.

What a blessing to have him visit!
