A to Z of Thankful Me: G

A to Z Challenge, Day 7:  G

G is for Grandmas, whose love never stops,


My grandma (standing), with her sister and grandma


Green Gardens that grow all sorts of crops,

Our garden in Washington
And Guide Dog puppies with ears that flop.


Sending Reno back for formal training, and picking up Drexel

    1. I have a feeling it was supposed to be a bit more posed, but my grandma tried to make a break for it! At least that's what it looks like to me.

    1. Nope, you beat you. I don't know what's up with my comments lately. I've had some not publish, and others duplicate.

  6. I love the picture of Reno and baby Drexel! I got sidetracked when I read this post and emailed GDB to see if there is any way we can raise a puppy for them.

  7. Godiva-Chocolates!!! That's my favorite G-word! Sadly enough I haven't had those for ages. My days currently are in the G of Getting my butt kicked with fibro... (my worst F-word I can think of by the way)

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
