John climbs an ancient silo at the park. The park is on the site of an old farm, and a few things, like this stone silo, have been preserved.
As we ate our picnic dinner, we saw a grandaddy long legs walking across the sidewalk. Carolyn remembered when John was 3, he called a "Grandaddy Long Legs" a "Grand Old Spider".
She told the kids this. John got a huge grin on his face.
The kids are always fascinated to hear stories of when they were "babies".
Somewhere in the shambles we have little post-it notes, scraps of paper with cute quotes from the kids over the ages. This is likely all that is to come of those dreams of writing a book.
I cannot hear enough about that "tell me more about when i was a kid..." who doesn't like to hear it? Mine love it too. YOu're soo good to have it all down in print!
