In response to kganje.
When I get discouraged abt the future I focus on the kind of adults my grkids are becoming(5 are in their 20’s) W/O exception they’re all kind. 1 is striving to live a simple life. 3 are in jobs helping adults that can’t care for themselves. Family matters to them all. I have hope&believe in them.

#bud #SpoutibleScavengerHunt
A few years ago, when my brother-in-law left his unopened beer in our fridge after visiting, I used it to bake bread. I sent this pic to him, lamely writing “Thank you. This bud’s for us!”

Happy Thursday! I'm a little late today due to an emergency nap... (I was cold and the dog was snuggly and we passed out).
Today's #SpoutibleScavengerHunt is #bud . Interpret widely! I'm hoping to do some easy ones for the new folks to add their goodies too!
Have a great day!

What kind of grandparents would allow a 2-yr old to run around during a summer #shower ? Definitely the kind we are.

Everyone knows to give leftover & unused yarn to my 89-yr-old mom. It never takes her #Long to create something using her crocheting skills.

I used Oreo crumbs as earth in this succulent cake.
(PS: This is my 900th spout and yesterday was my 1 year anniversary of joining Spoutible! I'm so glad to be here!❤️)

“So, if you are too tired to speak, #sit next to me for I, too, am fluent in silence.” ― R. Arnold
As hubs’ dementia advances we spend more time sitting in silence, but love is still spoken.

Tough climbs along the Appalachian Trail in northern New England will #Tax you at times, but the rewards are also great.

Hubs recently taxed me with mending the sleeves of his favorite shirt. I told him I can’t perform miracles. (Actually he politely requested, I said the miracle thing & we had a good laugh.)

I finally found a #checkmark ! This is the 2013 menu for a birthday meal I prepared for our granddaughter & the rest of our family (17 people back then). A #checkmark means the food item was a hit.

My creative 5 yr son spends hours pressing together pieces from three separate marble run collections in order to make tall marble races #Press #DailyPictureTheme
my son was diagnosed with autism at age 3, we didn’t know how that would play out, in terms of his abilities to do stuff like this ❤️

Spareribs, seasoned and #seared to fall-off-the-bone perfection. It's almost barbecue weather again and I can hardly wait. Chef son makes the *best* deck dinners.

#unexpected #SpoutibleScavengerHunt
My surprisingly #unexpected useful find was leggings, of all things. I thought they looked uncomfortable but became a believer after my daughter “forced” a pr on me as a gift. Now I wear leggings all the time.

This is my sister’s Christmas figurine collection. Each year she unpacks, unwraps and puts them on display. After Christmas she rewraps and puts them away. For her it is a labor of love; for me it would be a major #Pain .
