Great bone structure.<br /><br />Grandchildren are a joy, but I know what you mean about fatigue after they go. And let down. My small grandchildren like it here on the island, but the big ones find it too quiet and slow.20th Century Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432147267959308192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-65470337771094911462010-09-02T08:40:51.351-07:002010-09-02T08:40:51.351-07:00Love the new glamor shot!

It always leaves an empty spot when they leave. <br /><br />I know what you mean about having your children under the same roof with you again. It has happened a couple of times with me and I feel so secure when it does. I love seeing my son and daughter together because they have so much fun and it's just one laugh after another. Those times are among my happiest memories.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-79019303445596872132010-09-01T14:49:40.281-07:002010-09-01T14:49:40.281-07:00These genre narrations are such a pleasure to read...These genre narrations are such a pleasure to read..... and the art work always delightful!mandthttp://adgitadiaries.blog-city.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-6420033143192252312010-09-01T14:16:00.192-07:002010-09-01T14:16:00.192-07:00They do host us and often when we all get together...They do host us and often when we all get together somewhere else, they do all the cooking which I appreciate. I enjoy actually doing family meals here. I think the tired part is the responsibility. And it's much easier the older the kids get when they can do more for themselves, or even help out like with the irrigation; but you always have that sense that you have been given a precious trust from your kids and you have to live up to it for your sake and theirs. It is trying to make sure that what you do helps the family unit. It's definitely worth the energy that it takes and it's nothing compared to those grandparents who have to take it on all the time and many glad to do so. I am glad I don't have to do so *s*Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-66353229481753954422010-09-01T14:00:33.172-07:002010-09-01T14:00:33.172-07:00I, too, am in shock that summer is almost over.
S...I, too, am in shock that summer is almost over.<br /><br />Sounds as if you had a great time with family! Next time they can host you and the Mr. and maybe you won't be so exhausted afterwards. It's always a trade off: I love having family visit but I wear myself out making sure everyone is taken care of.<br /><br />Like your new pic!Taradharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665801586196931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-3376114767054248752010-09-01T08:10:12.968-07:002010-09-01T08:10:12.968-07:00Happy September to you, rain.
