Fun Father's Day Photo Gift Idea!

I love photos of my grandsons . . . after all, I'm grandma!!! When I think about gifts for their dad for Father's Day, of course I think photo gifts rank right up there at the top of the "best gifts for dad" list!!! So, when I was browsing on Pinterest and saw an adorable photo idea which would make a fantastic Father's Day gift, I had to share it with you!

The sad news from Oklahoma reminds us all of what really matters; not things, not money, not disagreements with others . . . this list could go on and on. What really matters is people: family, friends, neighbors - both near and far, because people matter far more than things.

Just for Fun!!! Elephant Design!

When I look at the world around me I see detail, wonder and design. It is impossible for me to believe it all "just happened" or one creature had the intelligence to determine it needed legs or wings or whatever to survive and the ability to just grow those things. I believe God designed and created our world with all the wondrous creatures and beautiful features we can see today!

Having said this, did you know . . .

grandma's chuckles - Watching Out for Little Brother

My grandsons usually spend Thursday night at my house and all day Friday . . . I look forward to these days all week long! Not only are hugs, kisses, laps-full-of-love (when I'm holding both of them) and smiles a definite part of these days each week, but the boys say things which leave me laughing for the entire week!

Just for Fun!!! A Joke!

With Spring in full "fling", I thought I'd share an old, but fun joke with you today!
