Riding with a friend, Andrew was on his way home from Maggie Valley. He had gone for some semi-rough camping and Christian fellowship with a group of men from his church. His Dad picked him up at an exit off I40, and brought him back to our house. Just minutes later, Sheila and Olivia arrived. They had spent the weekend with family. Auntie Emily had a birthday and the celebration was especially enjoyed by all! (That’s what Olivia said.)
Welcome! It was great timing for their arrivals, for a meal, and for a visit. Mark and I fixed up some made-to-order wraps. We had an acceptable amount of choices to satisfy everyone’s tastes – mustards, turkey, german bologna, swiss, cheddar, American cheese, salsa, tomatoes, pepperoni, and bacon. Also, corn chips, dill pickles, fresh yummy grapes and strawberries. The tomatoes and strawberries were fresh from the farmer’s market. (Shame on me for not having a dessert!)
Olivia wore her “I love Grandpa” bib. She ate bananas, tomatoes, strawberries, and applesauce. She has a wonderfully healthy appetite! Her bib did get slightly dirty, but, there was not one single speck of food on the floor. So young to be so neat! Callie (kitty) was certainly disappointed to discover the distressing absence of potential delectable morsels. Poor kitty.
Everytime I see that little girl, she is doing at least one new thing. It’s so fun watching the expressions of Olivia’s eyes and the sounds from her mouth; the little hand wave when it’s time for hello or goodbye; the clapping of her little hands accompanied by “yeaaaah”; her precious, contagious giggle and cheerful bright smile; and her gentle snuggle as she lay her head on my shoulder. This Nana is so in love!
But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.
(Psalms 68:3 NIV)
A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
(Proverbs 15:13 NIV)
