I've just come home....

...from a lovely lunch at a local hotel, with several family members, to meet my grandson's new fiancee, M

She's a wonderful girl and a perfect fit for the family.
The food was excellent, conversation flowed freely and smiles abounded.

I learned that my grand daughter is doing very well in her chosen field of study and is currently overseas with several of the other girls in her class. I saw photos of glorious old buildings, many in pastel colours and "wedding cake" trims.

I'm still smiling :)

    There you go. It is good to get out and socialise even if you are generally content with your own company.

      Andrew; it's family, of course I would go and it's walking distance from home so that made it easier.

      Elephant's Child; the pesky cough may need to see a doctor, if only I could send it on its own...

      Arkansas Patti; both grandchildren from this branch of the family have chosen well. The other grands aren't quite old enough, although the boy does have a girl that he's been seeing since school.

      joeh; I've never had to worry about my grandkids, they've been raised by parents who know what they're doing, good values, good work ethics.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
