It isn’t that anything new didn’t happen in those 2 months. But at the time, I really didn’t feel that they were fulfilling. I tried to give blood but my iron was too low. My daughter turned 21 in August and while to most parents this is a milestone in their child’s and their lives, I dreaded it because she was no longer be my little girl. Well. things haven’t changed, she is still my child.
In September, granddaughter actually took her first unassisted steps at 10 months of age and now cruising is second nature. She still uses crawling as her primary mode of transportation but not for long.
My daughter’s car was totaled in September. While this could have been a tragedy, no one was seriouly hurt. Neither my daughter nor my granddaughter were in the car at the time. The solitary occupant crawled out of the wreckage on her own steam, mostly shaken. Although, she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, the airbags did what they were designed to do even after the vehicle turned over a couple times. I don’t know what really led up to the wreck that night, whether the girl was drunk or high or just joyriding. She is the first in her family to actually graduate from high school and attend college and has been doing very well in her studies. Obviously, God has a plan for her and I hope she learned something from this experience. I hope my daughter has, too.

My granddaughter has 3 teeth now. one upper and two lower. she’s able to chomp on cheerios, cucumbers, green peppers, and cheetos. I really don’t think there are any foods she has tried that she doesn’t like. It is a new and fulfilling experience just watching her try new things. She is standing on her own now and we expect her to take her first step any day now.
As of July 29, I’m eligible to donate blood again and plan to become a repeat donor.
I replaced my lost library card this weekend after being without it for several, several months. Relatively painless and costs only $1.
I know this is early, but I want to make an entry while it is still fresh. We had a real family dinner on the 4th. Both the girls (Jessica and Rachel), didn’t find an excuse to be somewhere else. We had hotdogs and brats, potato salad, baked beans, macaroni sald and turtle pie. We all attended the city’s fireworks display the evening together as a family. That was new and fulfilling as we haven’t done that in years. Our grandaughter enjoyed the fireworks emmensely and was not bothered by the loud noises at all.
Yesterday, I used my small pressure cooker all by myself with no assistance from George. He bought fresh green beans, onions and zuchini from one of the locals and I cooked the green beans with onion and bacon in the pressure cooker at 15 lbs pressure for 3 minutes. They turned out great. Much better than canned.
