had a tasty snack on our way to Shelmerdine… haven’t had fresh McDonald’s French fries in I don’t know how long… had a couple of nuggets to go with them, but it was the fries that made my day;-)…

had fun wandering amongst the plants… it was surprising how many varieties of succulents were available…

here’s a photo my friend sent of the two that she picked up and transplanted;-)…

got a few photos of some of their bonsais to share with my grandson…

lovely to spend a bit of time enjoying the greenhouse and I even left without purchasing anything…

when I was searching the internet for a link to their website, I came across this great information on plant care;-)…

fries and gardens… doesn’t get much better than that…

had a wonderful treat this morning…

my grandson brought McDonald’s breakfast over when he came to pick up his youngest brother’s birthday present…

he sat by the door and I sat on the far couch… it was nice to have a meal and visit… don’t think that has happened since the summer in the garden… then he was off for the rest his day…

a bit later I went out and filled feeders while topping up the hot tub… lots of running up and down the stairs in the process, lol…

good exercise… for the heart and the body…

got the car back so that I could drive to the grade 2 class for Grandparents’ day… George and I had made it a couple of times before, but this will be my first year on my own as last year I didn’t hear about it in time to arrange to go…

put on the big girl pants so that I could figure out exactly where the school was… it is quite a distance from Crystal’s house but I think I got the directions fairly straight in my head… and then I printed out a Google map to get me there…

first thing the little guy said to me when he got here on Sunday was how much he was looking forward to the day…

found my way there, got into the classroom about a minute late and had a lovely time… after watching the kids work on a Smart Board calendar in French, we completed a survey about what it was like when we went to elementary school… there was at least one grandparent in the room who attended a one-room schoolhouse… after that we cut out pictures of things that we do together and pasted them onto a sheet of paper… we also added some words that described what the pictures were…

pictures that show what we do together...

pictures that show what we do together…

finally he read me a couple of French stories… then we went to McDonalds (along with about half of the grandparents and kids who had been at the school) for lunch, then back to school and work…

as we were driving back to the school from McDonalds we talked about how Grandpa would have enjoyed the day and how he wouldn’t have had any trouble finding the school or McDonalds…  we were both missing him…

another milestone…
