....and there's still lots of snow on the ground but it's raining pretty hard and the snow is falling off my roof in huge bundles that shake my whole house but I'm glad to be getting the load lighter up there ready for the new batch that is sure to come soon. I spent 3 nights helping out with kids and I was glad to get back to my home last night to find everything just fine. It's always a worry wondering if pipes will freeze and we'll come back to lots of unwanted water but so far, so good. We seem to have the right combination of heaters turned on to keep things warm in here. I do love my home and it feels good when I am here.

George's farewell address was this past Sunday and it's always a family's proud moment to send a child on a mission. As the grandma, I'm a bit more relaxed but I do remember the stress of it all but in the end, I felt like I was laying my baby in a crib for a nap, safe and sound for a couple of hours....and for two years, they would be safe and sound in Heavenly Father's care. George is such a pure, good boy and loves people and loves life. He will be an awesome missionary and as I listened to him play the piano last night, wow....what a talent to share with the New Hampshire, Manchester mission. I also Facetimed with Layee in Lithuania and enjoyed seeing her and knowing she is at least fairly warm.......
I loved this post from Laynee......and I love her honesty. She recognizes her dislike f cold and birds but she loves it and she has always been able to do hard things. She will be great for the next 4 months and the culture shock will wear off soon for sure but I do admire her adventurous nature and courage.

Scott's guitar talent will be showcased tonight at Dixie's Got Talent tonight......and I can't help but be nervous for him but he's got this and he's excited. Just to end this post, let me say I'm thankful for all of my talented grandkids and their coolness and cuteness. I relish any minute I can spend in their presence and was so happy I got to see everyone this week-end at George's farewell and to me, this is one priceless pic.........future missionaries for sure.....
......and am so grateful I've been able to watch them grow up. I also must express gratitude for my Pine Valley home....I love it here so much and I love being in the middle of every single season that God has placed on this earth and I can't think of anywhere to enjoy them more than sitting here by my fire today watching it rain on all of the snow.
