Pay It Forward

While I edit and select which to share with you, from the 400+ pictures I took in Colorado, here's something from Karen Deborah at Fresh Fixins, worth sharing. I may not limit it to 3 though. You never know.


HERE ARE THE RULES: The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and pay it forward in their own way. This is how it works... I am going to agree to send something fun, cute, & nice to the first 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry. In turn,those three will post this information and pick 3 people they want to send something to and so on. If you are interested in participating, be one of the first 3 blog owners to leave a comment! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? There are no cost restraints, but don't go crazy! If you'd like to join in, be one of the first 3 people to leave me a comment. You have to promise that you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, and then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog .If I don't get 3 blog owners that want to participate I would like to send something to 3 people that leave a comment even if you don't own a blog--so leave a comment with some sort of way to contact you and who knows what lovely things may show up for you from California to make you smile...In return I ask that you Pay It Forward to 3 other people in some way. It doesn't have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go; just look around.

Remember, I may not limit to 3 AND you don't have to have your own blog.

Weekend with the Grandkids

We're all having a grand time! Grandpa and Nana took naps this afternoon. Kids wear us out.

Daughter and grandson, plus two cats, arrived safe but tired Wednesday afternoon.

Jerry picked up his grandson and granddaughter from Idaho, Friday. I made it back home late Friday night, actually it was early Saturday morning.

I had a super birthday on Saturday. The kids had a delightful time riding horses all morning long. By afternoon all were hot and dusty. I suggested playing in the sprinklers. That was fun for maybe 10 minutes when Tristan suggested we go play in the American River. I said,"sure!" He said that's why grandparents are so 'grand', they spoil the grand kids. :-)

The evening was spent down in the American River. It was perfect. The kids thought it would be great to have rafts or tubes to float down but we don't have. They had so much fun and finally, reluctantly, we headed home.

Today they begged to ride horses from the time breakfast was finished. We saddled up and they rode for hours again today. It is hot out there but the sky is clearing and the air quality isn't as frightful as the past week has been.

The kids are all out back at Amy's place, in the air conditioning, playing a race car video game of some sort. They are all getting along very well. As soon as Grandpa wakes up, we'll put up his tepee tent for the youngsters to sleep in tonight. I am guessing that none of the three make it the entire night sleeping out there.

Havin' Fun

Our visitors made it here safely. My Grandson and I are going to write this blog together. He picked the pictures that we are sharing with you tonight. I think he may be having a fun time in California. He says, "WHAT! I'm having a GREAT time!" I think he misses school. He says,"I hate school." (he's fibbing)




Jerry is teaching me how to drive a tractor.

Grandson likes to climb, run, play, run, climb, work, and keeps me busy.

I didn't know my picture was taken like that! What am I doing with my finger?

Boy hugs horse.

I am finally able to ride a horse on my own. 'The Lone Ranger'

If you ride em', you clean up after 'em..... and he did so willingly. He can stay here as long as he wants.

I'm falling down Roller Coaster Road. Yeah it's really named that.
