GRANNY TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!

Lisa called me Thursday morning and told me Lucas (the youngest grandson) was sick. She couldn't stay at home that day because the superintendent was coming to the school and the teachers had to be there. I left home at 8:00 AM and was there at 9:45. He has the stomach virus that is rampaging. Bless his heart, he was so sick, but I think he felt better the moment I arrived. I stayed the night with them and came home this morning. Now Ryan has the same bug. If I could be in two places at one time, I would be there with them tonight. I know one thing....my heart is with them!

Sorry about the sickness in your family. What would they do without Grandmothers?

When you have time come over to my blog and pick up an award I have for you!
Merry Christmas!; 12:20 AM

Judy said...: Hi Clara, I sure hope your grandchildren get better soon. I had Thomas Wyatt all weekend. He started day care about two weeks ago and has a cold all the time now. I kept him all weekend and he ran me ragged but I loved every minute of it. I would never have believed how wonderful being a grandparent is until he was born!; 7:33 PM
Beth said...: So sorry your grandsons were sick, Clara. I hope they both feel better soon. Those stomach bugs can be just awful, but thankfully, usually don't last long.; 7:35 AM
Grammy said...: Dear Clara,
What a great thing to be able to be close to your grandchildren, and great grands! Mine all live so very far away. I know that stomach virus is a bad one. Thank God that we have escaped it so far. It would probably finish Gramps off.
Just today getting back to visit your blog. Wonderful Santa Purse!
Love,
Ruby (aka Grammy); 7:59 AM
Peggy said...: Hi Clara, it is amazing the same bugs crop up around the world!I hope you escape it and stay well

Jamie Dawn said...: Poor Lucas and Ryan! I'm sure they love it when you are there. Mommas are great, but grandmas are WONDERFUL!!!
I hope they recover quickly.
I'm sure your loving care really helped.; 11:56 PM

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
