My daughter used to put olives on her fingertips at that age, too. Now, at 17, she just opens the can and eats them all. Quite boring.

Lovely photo Pam and oh so cute. I've only just started eating olives since coming to Germany, now I can't get enough of them. So, I would have put grapes on my fingers!!!

Since I'm commenting on "The Dust Will Wait" under a comment from "The Dishes Will Wait" about some olives stuck on a cuties fingers, guess I'll go make me an extra dirty martini.

What a sweet picture. Of your granddaughter I assume. She's beautiful.

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, Pamela, and that your week has gotten off to a good start.

What a good use for black olives! Did you enjoy this little munchkin's company throughout the holiday? I've noticed a lot of grams getting to play in recent posts--much better that being the martyr cook for the holidays--and more memorable for the kids, I'm sure.

So cute... I tried to tell my six year old that all kids just have to put olives on their fingers at Thanksgiving, but she doesn't like them so refused! ;)

Love it! Just another little proof that we must be somehow related! Im sure we are! I mean really we have to be right? Either that or Karmyn and myself are dopplegangers from another planet!

Albeit, Buttercup is still very little but she is shaping up to be just like one of Karisma's kids! (Karmyn! Take her to church! Right now! Before its too late! Save her!)

It's photos like this that remind me why being a child is such a magical time - and why having precious time like this with grandparents is so very important.

I remember moments like this when I visited my grandparents, and they helped form the person I ultimately became.

She is beautiful. My kids would play with the olives rather than eat them too.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
