Thankful

 Today I am thankful for...

 our youngest granddaughter as she celebrates turning 18.


She was five months old the first time we met her.



Her eyes and her smile definitely give you a look into her soul...







 
This one was taken on the Potomac Eagle in Hampshire County WV.
We did it as a day trip one summer when she and her sister were here.


The girls had fun watching a crystallus turn into a butterfly.
This was release day!


Where she lives there is plenty of snow in the winter to enjoy.


She loved helping Pop Pop when he was planting the garden.







When she was visiting us this particular summer
she would announce after lunch that she was going to go
down to the deck and lay in the hammock 
"to think".
It was her alone time.


This one was taken one summer when the girls were visiting
and we decided to have a tea party out under the tree.
She had a blast!






Her 16th birthday.

We are thankful to have her in our lives.
She lives her life quietly,
putting the needs of others before her own.
And she loves the Lord.

"Behold, children are a heritage from Yawheh,"
Psalm 127:3  (LSB)

    1. Thank you, Barbara. She is just that. She calls us at least once every week, "just wanted to check to see how you and Pop Pop are doing". :) Love her!
