We spent time at the park...
fed the ducks...
did some cooking together...
went swimming at the pool...
went shopping, played card games, painted some art projects, watched movies, played computer games, walked Otis and Riley, and lots of other things ~ and we had so much fun. There was lots of activity and also time spent together talking, laughing and telling stories.

I took her home this afternoon which is about an hour drive. We stopped at Starbucks and had a snack along the way.
The house is quiet now, and I'm near exhaustion. Time to get back to the ol' routine.
"Love you, Sweet Maddie"!
Sounds like you had a beautiful time with your beautiful granddaughter! She will treasure these times forever!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some needed rest soon!
That is a precious post of pictures Donna. I just enjoyed reading this so much. Maddie is adorable. My daughter Mattie was looking at this post too and said it would be fun to play with her mom. She can spot a fun girl.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a continued wonderful summer.
Maddie is a beauty! I love the picture of her eating lunch with the colorful umbrella. How fun! ((hugs)) Rosie

Oh, she looks so lovely and such a nice age. You are so blessed, I can't wait to be a grandmother. You have to understand I have a seventeen year old daughter...Yikes! I was just remembering taking her to London when she was twelve and still liked me. Well, I can dream can't I? Karen

ReplyDeleteSomeone's kept you busy! What a cutie!
I love these pictures, Mom! I had to ask Maddie about getting her goggles back from the big kid and about the breakfast umbrella, she said "that's my workstation". Ha! Thank you, thank you, thank you sooooo much for helping out by letting her stay. We are GRATEFUL!!
