Ohhhhh I love Pentatonics almost as much as I live Siberian Orchestra. So good.

Enjoy those granddaughters. Might seem minor but they will remember these times even when that are your age.

Blessings!

    Yes, the girls are each choosing their own way in different avenues but each one is excelling in their sports. And as for the concert...Wow! I can't wait to see them. It's going to be fun. Thank you as always, Roy.

The Grinch can only steal our joy if we allow him to do it. I'm with you better luck next time Mr. Grinch because you're not gonna steal my joy either. What a wonderful story and I am so glad you get to spend time with your daughter and your granddaughters that must be very special. Patricia

A little cold weather can't stop you, no way, no how!! I enjoyed this cute little post, and I can't wait to see what you up next for my favorite ghost Eleanor and company. LOL

    I'm glad you are looking forward to more Eleanor and of course, Garth, too! My mind has snagged on the abandoned mansion, Rebecca's unknown past, and something mysterious there, but I don't know what yet. Any suggestions as what you'd like to see.... a wedding or two in the vineyard?

    That could work. I see it unfolding and there are still plenty of bad guys hanging around. Maybe some revenge for Doyle's bunch.

I'm glad you are having some relaxing time with your granddaughters and going to the concert with them, even though you don't seem to be able to stay away from the keyboard for more than a few hours. :)) I don't know what you would do now without Eleanor. (Thank the Lord!) Enjoy your time with your family, you've worked hard and you deserve a few hours rest!
Love you lots, oh, and I'm glad you put Mr Grinch in his place! LOL :)) Sandra xx

    Thanks! The girls went with their dad till tomorrow and Carissa had to work so the laptop and I are having some fun. I do need to do some housecleaning and then shower before the concert, but life is breezing along without being screamed at by people at home. I am currently in a happy place.... but to be honest, I can't stop thinking about what Eleanor will do next. LOl

    I'm the same, the next chapter, the next book, they consume my life, but in a happy way. And Graham is happy too. I check chapters out with him and listen to his thoughts. He enjoys being involved, even if it is in a small way. Enjoy the writing, my friend, housework will still be waiting for you. Next to death, housework is the only other thing that is guaranteed in everyone's life!! LOL xxxx

    LOL Tell Graham thanks for making you happy. I like that.
    Hugs, Carol

Carol,

What a great story. Mr. Grinch is trying to steal your joy, but you are a bubbly person and I don't think that's going to happen. Wow it sounds like your son is as smart as you when it comes to writing. I just figured the perfect gift you can send me. Just a smidge of your talent.LOL

Enjoy the time you have left with your family, before you fly back into chill vill.

Cecilia xoxo

    I'm sitting her laughing at myself and the Grinch. I kept wondering why I hadn't gotten a single review... maybe it was because I didn't hit the release button to end the preview. Duh! Not so smart am I! You do poems and express yourself well. We each are blessed with talent a bit different from the next. I love what you do!

    Carol,

    You're mind has been on overdrive the last week it's a wonder you didn't release it. You're funny and thank you for the compliment. Someday I might write that book, but I just can't seem to get my brain in the game. If it's meant to be it will come to me.

    Have a great weekend my sister friend.

    Cecilia xoxo

    It will! I can't get my mind to slow down...I'm sitting here wondering what I can have Eleanor do next. She's become a part of me. LOL

    Well you have the rest of the crew to bring into the mix. Maybe she could go visit Charles at some point and get involved in some international drama.

Mr. Grinch didn't stand a chance with you. Not with all the fun you've been having. He tried having his way with me on Thanksgiving Day when our power went out at 6 pm and stayed out for 40+ hours. Thanks goodness it is back and Grinch has departed. Thanks for sharing.

You have a highly talented family Carol and I am so pleased you have been able to share this time with them, and us.
I have loved these moments of joy and celebration you have committed to paper.
Allowing outsiders in to celebrate alongside you

    It's been a wonderful experience for me. Things weren't so pleasant at home so I am grateful.

    Well, I hope once you get back home, things will prove to be better than when you left for this trip.

    Since my daughter has informed me that she is starting their own traditions and that they won't be coming to my house any more, I've had a change of plans... I have return tickets on Christmas Eve to share my holiday with Carissa and the girls. It's a surprise for the girls and I've bought presents while I was here (hidden of course) and it's going to be awesome. Haven't told my daughter and don't plan to unless she asks. She thought she was hurting me but I'm a survivor... new plans.
reply by Tim Margetts on 30-Nov-2024
    Children grow up and make their own lives, mine all have their own families and though I usually see them at some point over the holiday, it's rare we get together for a festive meal these days so I can understand your feelings.
    I think the plans you have underway are great. I just hope they have enough on the table to feed an extra mouth LOL
    Have a fantastic time with them all. I know those amazing granddaughters will be over the moon.

    I've decided to do a shrimp boil and crablegs... they love it. And of course I will cook all the other days because that's what I do. Sometimes I wonder if they want me to come because of the food. LOL
