Hurry Up and Have a Good time

Well, the quiet settles in now that they are gone. What a whirlwind my daughter is, we ate out constantly, had drinks at several pubs, went to the beach, went sailing, spent the day at the Kewaunee Fair watching horse pulls, rode Segways around Penninsula State Park for hours, played miniature golf, rode go-karts, ate out some more, did the Farmer's Market, made some jewelry (grandson and I) and generally had a great time, and that was on day one. LOL, not really, it was laid out like a military campaign, cram in all we could, more actually than I have done in a year. Even managed to get the kids to the Y for a swim a few times. For her, it was all good.

Me? I'm a little more laid back but am glad for the ocassional push. I've wanted to ride those Segways since last year, when we couldn't get in, I can't tell you how much fun they are, two wheels and you just lean and they go. They are programed to not go over 12 mph within the park and that is good because you have time to look around. I used to spend a lot of time hiking in the forrest and I forgot how wonderful it smells there. The fragrance really triggered some memories in me and made me want to go camping, desperately, so I could hike around. I will do that before winter, and fish too, I miss doing that. If you want to check out our pictures, contact me (Patricia Medeiros) on Facebook and have a look. It was a wonderful week, but Tyler didn't want to leave and neither did his Mom. They had a good flight home, even with the delays, and miss being here, I guess that makes it All Good.

Still enjoying that child called Tyler. He's excited because he has a new degree of freedom in this small town. He can ride his borrowed bike across the bay bridge to his friends house, then find his way back to the market the next day. Before he never rode around more than the condo's they lived in. He and his mom now occupy my house in Connecticut and they are miles from everything and he can't go that far, it's not so safe there. For the first few days that he was here I drove him around and explained the lay of the land and quizzed him on how he would get home to me, he caught on pretty quickly, then his friend took him on a six mile ride, he was exhausted but happy when they got back. So now he ventures forth alone a bit and I think that he relishes that freedom,but I keep a watch nonetheless. I know that he has good guardian angels too, he's an old soul, but it never hurts to keep an eye. I wish children could be safe always, I wish they had the freedom we had so many years ago to just be children. Tyler spends way too much time texting but I'm glad that he has that little beast with him, just in case. I just wish he would look around a little more. We went to a Pure Prairie League concert tonight and I had him shut it off, oops, I shut mine off too, have to go turn it back on LOL, his momma will call me to see how he is doing. It's all good......

the goodness of the Goddess

It's all very strange, but now people are popping up and looking for the Goddess and I have had two sales of Necklaces. I want to thank my 12 year old grandson who just arrived. After I created the two necklaces for the client to choose from Tyler set about preparing photographs of my wares. He got out the light tent, set up the lighting, put my camera on the tripod and took the photos. Then he helped me download onto my computer, up load to Etsy so that I could send them for review. The client liked them both so much that she bought both of them! How great is that. We had so much fun on the computer, he's showing me lots of shortcuts and I may become semi-literate by the time he leaves.

This child and I have always been close and I was afraid that after being apart for over two years, and the fact that he is now 12, we might not have the same raport. But, the day after he arrived he came upstairs and announced that he had unpacked. I"ll alert the media, that's nice.

"No Nana, you don't understand, I never unpack no matter how long I will be visiting, I unpacked!" Of course my heart melted, he knows when he is home and I love him so dearly I could weep. I love living up here,but, darn I miss that child and I can't wait to see what kind of adult he will become. Pray for him to be whole, he gets passed around a great deal to his other Grandma and Father who lives in the South. He'll be so well traveled by the time he's a teen he may become Jaded, I hope not. But, he knows that wherever and whenever we are together that that is home. Peace and love to you all. I am happy because it's all good.
