Scavenger Hunt Sunday

...is my Grandchildren

Lily - age 3 1/2
Lucy, age 2
Sammy, age 7 months

2. Sound of Music

We heard the sound of music in our home quite often when our son and daughter were young. Our daughter played the violin and our son played the violin, the guitar, and the drums.He was part of a garage band in his high school years which practiced at our house - oh, the SOUND of MUSIC! This is his guitar with his pick left right where it left it. I took it outside in the natural sunlight and really like how the pick caught the sun and reflected on the headstock of the guitar.

3. Inner Beauty

The inner stamens of a lily.

4. Ethereal

I wasn't sure about this one but the more I looked at it the more I was really happy with it. This is a plume of my Smoke Bush. The little pin point yellow flowers have almost all fallen off leaving the smokey plume. The background just seemed to come together and give this image its fairytale colors.

5. Sharp

Ruby Tuesday: Little Boys and Trains

One day in late October Hubs and I were out on a drive looking at the fall foliage and we came upon this backyard train. I don't know if the owner had been a railroad man or not but the train track covered at least a quarter mile and went through this covered bridge over a small creek. My jaw dropped at the amount of time and work it must have taken to erect such a replica of track and train.

Here you can see the caboose is behind a flat car.

A closeup of the caboose.

We could not see into the other end of the covered bridge but I feel sure we would have seen an engine. All this was about 500 feet off the road on private property. I would have loved to see into the bridge; but more than that I would have loved to see the train running. I can't help but wonder since it is now Christmas time if lights and a Santa might be added.

My Boys

This is my son with our Grandson Sammy. In this photo Sammy is one day short of being one month old. I did not take this photo. It was taken by Rebecca Danzenbaker of Arlington, Virginia. She did a super job capturing father and son.

Midweek Blues

Tonight I received an email from a wonderful friend asking how I was. It has been many weeks since I last posted. Where have I been? Well, as you can see by the photos posted I was visiting my grandchildren. The first photo is of the newest member of our family. I introduced Sammy in the previous post. As I was taking pictures on Thanksgiving day I noticed his beautiful blue eye peeking out of the side of the bassinet where he was having 'tummy time'. I hope you can enlarge this one to see his little eyelashes. There are many more pictures to come but this one fits the blue theme for today.

As many of you may know, this is darling Lily in her Toy Story Woody character towel. Isn't this the cutest idea. It is a hooded towel and could have very well been used as a Halloween costume had we found them in time. Her sister has the Alien character towel from Toy Story but was asleep when this photo session took place.

Little Miss Lucy is all dressed up in a toga made from her Mommy's shirt. It was early for dressup play on Thanksgiving morning. She promptly pushed the cooler over to the TV and started watching the Macy's Parade.

Thank you for indulging me today in showcasing my little wonders. They truly are Grammy's little blessings.

He's Here!

SAM I AM

Hi everybody! I am Grandma Carletta's new little Grandson. I weighed 7lbs and 14ounces and was twenty inches long. I arrived on November 4th. Sorry Grandpa, I know you were hoping I'd come on your birthday on the 7th; but I just couldn't wait any longer to make my entrance.

My Mommy and Daddy named me Samuel David.

Grandma Carletta thinks I am a beautiful little boy. Here I am wrapped in my fall blanket on day two of my arrival into the big ole world. Daddy didn't think I would mind wearing my Halloween hat even though it was five days past Halloween. I didn't mind cause it kept my head nice and warm; but you can't see my strawberry blond hair. Grandma promises to post more pictures when she has time.
