Grandma Saturdays

DSCN0178

Grandpa came up with a brilliant idea!  I run errands every Saturday morning.  Grocery store, Walmart run, etc.  We’ve been lacking with time with Alyssa, through no fault of her parents!  Just busy schedules, cancer, exhaustion!  Sooooo…..Daryl suggested I see if Andrew and Julia would think it was okay to snag Alyssa on Saturday mornings to go to run errands.

They decided that probably every other Saturday would be fine…she is, after all, only six months old, and they don’t want her to be running too busy a schedule.  There are a couple of other things Julia does during the week, so they figured they’d try it out and see how she does. 

Well, it’s a blast!  The first week, we met Grandpa at Lowe’s and picked out some fence panels for the fence between us and Miss Mae, next door.  This Saturday, we went to Target, and to Calloway’s, back to our house to do some swingin’ with Grandpa, and on to a quick Kroger stop.  Above is a picture where we paused to talk to a friend we ran into…Alyssa LOVED the pink and purple of the Easter aisle!

She laughs and smiles easily…you’ll have to check out Daryl’s blog for swing pictures.

Looks like we have a fun tradition now.  Thanks, Andrew and Julia, for indulging us.  What a joy that little girl is!
