Back Home from California

Hi Everyone,

I am back from my visit to my daughter in California.  What a wonderful time I had while there.  They always make me feel so wonderful.  We had a great time together and did many things and created many memories that I want to share with all of you.  Some of those memories you can find on my other blog.  I encourage you to visit that blog as well, the address is:

nananovemberskitchen.blogspot.com

and I also encourage and ask to to join me as a follower on that blog as well.  I also enjoy your comments.

Any way getting back to my visit.  We did a lot of things at the house but we also did other things such as, hiking at Lopez lake, visiting Avila Barn farm market, visit the San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens where the two girls participated in a candy making class, went to Solvang where I picked up another mini tea pot and cup for my Solvang collection, went to Santa Barbara and visit the mission there and also went to Streans Wharf, had lunch at Moby Dick's and visited the Ty Warner Sea Center.  WOW!  What a great vacation.

It is good to be home again, but I miss everyone in California.

Hugs,
Janet

A Visit to California

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while.  I am here in California visiting with my daughter and her family.  I am having so much fun.  She home schools her daughters (Kristy 10 years old and Abby 7 years old) and I get to help.  It is so much fun.  We have been doing botany, reading, language, math, ocean science and history.  She has been reading Shakespeare to the girls.  Right now they are reading The Tempest.  On Thursday and Friday we are going on and overnight field trip.  We will be going to Santa Barbara to the Santa Barbara Mission and the Ty Warner Sea Center.  It will be a lot of fun.  Tomorrow we are going to Lopez Lake to check out the plants and do some art projects.  On Saturday we are going to the San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens and taking a class on how to make candy from things found in the garden.  My granddaughters are getting a great education with not only book work but hands on experience.  They are also involved in 4-H raising rabbits and learning other home skills.  They also participate in several co-op classes.  Kristy right now is taking a sewing classes learning how to use a sewing machine.  Last she made an apron from scratch. Abby will make one this week.

Well I better go for now.

Hugs,
Janet

The First Saturday of February 2013

Hi Everyone,

There is a light snow falling outside, it is cold, but the house is warm and cozy.  This coming Tuesday I will going to my daughters in California for a couple of weeks.  I am so looking forward to seeing her and her family.  I miss them so very much, especially the granddaughters.  They are so very sweet and wonderful and I am so blessed that God has chosen me to be there Nana.  While I am there the girls want me to do crafts with them.  One of the things I think we will do are artist trading cards.  I have just started doing them.  I will have to take some pictures of the ones I have made and post them here on the blog.

If any of you do crafts, no matter what it is I would love for you to share that with me.  Let me see your creativity.

Well I better go for now.  Have a super great day.

Hugs,
Janet
