Never Did Like a Rollercoaster!!!!

 

Good reading for an uplifting moment.

Really Mrs. O'Quilts??

Today, I have finished the last 5 potholders...Now, in my stash I have 25 done!

Kids going nuts to keep this old tree.  Their memories, that first Christmas I had guardianship of them

The tree only halfway lights...bottom half...It is now yellow and not white. It stands in the middle of the living room forlorn, but well loved. There is no room for it due to Lynsey's school room, moved downstairs due to remote schooling 

I had to order another bargain online..

Tomorrow there will be tears as they cling to everything.

Even cleaning their rooms...they send a suitcase or two to their mother's house filled with things they cannot bear to give to the Goodwill.

In the corner where the tree goes, is Lynsey's table and school books.

However, that is not all..She has installed a dry erase board so she can practice teaching.

She dresses up, she has a school ID around her neck..... and teaches 6th grade English (her grade)

That is how she practices her learning...

Now, this room is no longer a living room...the effects of Covid and remote learning.

She said, no one is coming anyway...so be flexible. Grandma..!!

The Begonia lasting through the fall with trees bared of leaves.

It gives me strength to try and be like a begonia.

End of November, Covid and remote, crazy elections, country a mess.

And the beautiful red Begonia keeps on keeping on.

Tonight Ms. Lynsey asked me how I make my ganache...hmmm..Dear girl, Grandma has never made ganache....eye roll...She saw it on Tik Tok and surveyed our home ingredients. She started making the cake.  I heard her call her father to pick up the whipping cream on the way home from work.

Ganache, by Lynsey

 A present made by Drenna....to cheer the day...xo

And so it goes..that old rollercoaster of life!!
