My PLANS WERE Changed.

My Sunday morning started off peaceful,
up at about ten, found a good movie to watch,
let my husband sleep in,
I was in my pjs sipping my coffee,
Mr. Hubby had just got up,
and we heard this quiet knock at the door,
He went to answer it, it was our goddaughter.
Were we busy because she would really like to come over and play with us.
Well that was the end of the movie, 
I would have to watch it another time.
Her little face was so hopeful.
She just turned eight the other day,
so she got to open her gift,
all the right things,
art supplies, a beading kit,
a little necklace kit, a book to write in,
and we then made a whole bunch of paper flowers.
She wrote a story about my husband waking up grumpy,
and oh she had some news,
Her Mom had twin girls,
She was so excited,
She was going to be real nice to them.
Anyway I enjoyed her thoroughly today,
Her Dad picked her up,
I was already late for my nap,
so I had my husband call his Mom
and we took her over supper and had supper there with her.
We stayed for a few hours after,
and I was tired.
Sometimes your plans get changed,
and your day turns out better than planned.
I just went with the flow,
I was trying to be kind to myself,
and it worked,
I had two visits with people I really love,
and well the rest is just peanuts.

  6. That was a sweet day, Cinner! I'd take a goddaughter visit over a movie any old day. Sometimes we have to look for the magic, other times, it just comes right to our own door. xx

  10. Bernie, I so enjoy my visit from my Goddaughter, she is eight going on twenty. I could not believe the big words she was using. my mil is slowly recovering from pnemonia, I just thought she looked so frail...we always enjoy her company.
    hope you are having fun with your new computer and that you have all your boxes put away.lol. have a great week,,HUGS.

    Diana, that is just the perfect age, She was so excited about her Mom having twins, and she was going to be nice to them, She has a sister who is six, but says she is mean to her all the time. I think she tends to exagerate a little....as for saying no, right there with you, I get wrapped around their littles fingers in a heart beat. hope you are feeling better, coming to visit your blog today, finally going to do some catch up. Hugs, love, c

  11. Gayle is that not the truth, I actually don't like to make plans because I never know when I will be tired and played out. So it really worked out good. Yesterday was a wash because I did too much the day before. hugs, how is Bryson. I hope feeling better and on the waay to recovery. be well.

  13. Sarah, your such a sweetheart. You should see her how she bats her eyes at me. We do alot of art when she comes here, always have with her, she loves to water my flowers when I had some, but she loves to turn the hose onto jet, and then laughs as she blows them off....I can't help but laugh when she giggles. hope you have a wonderful day, you are always an inspiration. big hugs.

  17. SueAnn, it is always a nice surprise, last week I heard her in her Dads yard saying, ...She is not resting, I see her body in the yeard. see she is right over there. Can't you see her body... I knew it was close to her bedtime, but she was trying to get to come over. out of the mouths of babes. As you enjoy your grandchildren, I am blessed she is in my life. have a wonderful week. many smiles.

  19. yes, to go with the flow is the trick to life sometimes. and the presence of a child can bring us right into the gifts of this moment and feeling quite vital and alive. Also we can get tired... So does this mean you are the godmother of twins?

  20. I agree. Spending time with the people we love beats almost anything else we might have planned. Thank you for sharing this vignette of your day, and thank you for stopping by my blog recently.
