It was really nice seeing them again, and seeing where they live. The day was spent visiting, eating good food, and enjoying each other's company.
Rosebud took some yarn along and asked Grandma if she would teach her how to crochet baby bibs and booties. Most of her day on Saturday was spent creating a pretty set of booties and a bib to go with it.
LV's brother and his family live nearby, so we all popped over to see where they live. During the tour of their house I was astounded at the huge sweet potatoes my sister-in-law grew in her garden this year.
All in all we had a very enjoyable visit, and are already looking forward to the next time we all get to spend time together.
Sounds like a wonderful visit. It is a blessing to have family nearby. :) Sounds like your daughter had a very nice time with her grandma, which i'm sure she'lshe'll cherish for a long time.

ReplyDeleteOk, I gotta admit, I am slightly envious of the canning shelves! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you all had a good visit. That potato is VERY impressive and so is all of the canning behind it.

That cannning shelf blew me away!
ReplyDeleteAs the old song has it, "Where do I begin...to peel that sweet potato"? That is what the kids call ginormous! And, as the others have said, that amount of canning is certainly mind-blowing.
ReplyDeleteHow nice! I hope you get to see each other again soon!
ReplyDeleteOh my what a huge potato. I wonder how many people one potato that size would feed?
ReplyDeleteSomeone has been hard at work putting up things for the winter. I am working on applesauce today. My pantry looks nothing like those shelves but I have a few in the basement that come in handy. I love to see shelves of full canning jars. Such a feeling of accomplishment.
