My Grandma

I was sitting with my girls watching a cartoon called Little Bear and it was an episode where Little Bear was at his grandparents house playing with his Grandfather Bear. It made me think of my Grandma. I am so thankful for the years that I had with her. She passed away when I was 21 years old. She was never a wealthy woman and didn't bye us alot and that was fine. She gave us what was more important than material things she gave us her time. Grandma's door was always open. She sat at the kitchen table all the time and when we would go visit her which was often that is where we spent most of our time except for in the warm weather and then we were out in the yard. Grandma was really my only grandparent she was my Mom's Mom. My Grandparents on my Dad's side passed when I was young. Grandma loved playing games with us we would spend hours at the table playing cards or Yahtzee she loved that game. She taught me to cook and always raved over my cooking if I made something. We worked in the garden and she let me help her can. My Grandma was a good woman I knew that she had faults but that never stopped my love for her and I truly miss her. I could talk to her about anything she always had an ear to listen. She shared my joys and sorrows. I had lost my first pregnancy before she passed and I wasn't sure that I would be able to have children. She loved kids and I really wish that she would have been able to see my girls. I am so thankful that God allowed me such a great Grandmother.

Another Day

Not a whole lot going on in the Schoolcraft household these days. I can't believe that Christmas is coming so fast. It seems like every year the year seems shorter. I haven't started any shopping and Jada will be 5 on the 16th of December so we have shopping for that too. I am still doing Weight Watchers and I really enjoy the program. I wish that I would have signed up years ago. I have lost 9lbs in 4 weeks. I doesn't seem like much but I really feel good about it and I hear it is better to lose at a slow pace so that the weight will stay off. Here lately we spend alot of evenings at home which is good we have had some real quality time together as a family. Life in general is going great there are always room for improvements but if life was perfect then what would we have to look forward to in Heaven. Well I hope everyone who reads this is well and I hope to hear from you all soon. God Bless!!
