Although I'm going to happily accept being a grandmother, I don't think the word reflects how I feel, such connotations of blue-rinsed perms and comfortable pastels in dubious fabric.

It's such a sweet time, waiting for that first one (as a mom, and I can imagine as a grandmother--oh that word doesn't seem right. I think a new word should be invented for grandmothers like you--still fit and beautiful, dynamic, engaged with the world). grandboomers? grandmavens? any ideas?Alison Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768315542282472901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-13739359286340117112008-11-03T20:11:00.000-08:002008-11-03T20:11:00.000-08:00lbr: I probably should check the website -- are yo...lbr: I probably should check the website -- are you really loving your skirt?<BR/>And you know every "kind word" I say about you is true -- you're a great blogger and a wonderful blogging friend -- look forward to hearing about the delayed Halloween horrors of your weekend with in-laws.<BR/>Mardel: I'm hoping for one of those weekends this upcoming one.

Would hate for you to miss out.<BR/><BR/>Your dress sounds amazing. But, I couldn't tell which one it was from the link you have posted.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for posting about Alison. I am delighted to discover her lovely blog and today's post. I also thank you for the kind words you said about me on her blog and for the kind shout out here. Merci mon amie.:-)<BR/><BR/>I think I am posting about my weekend later this week on my blog. So, until then, let me just give you one word: In-laws. I will let you imagine what kind of weekend I might have had.;-) As Nietzsche said, "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I am stronger for surviving this weekend.La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-44492011522751433472008-11-03T06:35:00.000-08:002008-11-03T06:35:00.000-08:00Cybill: On the Vanc'r weekends we do pack a lot in...Cybill: On the Vanc'r weekends we do pack a lot in and I'm always a bit tired for the week ahead. When we stay home on the island, it's all about my leather club chair and the weekend papers! Sunshine and magazines sounds like a wonderful combination -- a long, dark winter away from me, unfortunately.<BR/>Alison: Well, your outing with mom and daughters was pretty special. Although, of course, couldn't hold a candle to being stalked by Mr. B!<BR/>Patricia:Oooh, that was probably my favourite activity back when I had a full household -- to get a day or two when I had the house to myself. Even now, when I'm on my own during the week, I treasure that time alone in my own space, puttering, following my own body rhythms instead of fitting them to everyone else's. I bet you loved it!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-41240460756928524942008-11-03T06:14:00.000-08:002008-11-03T06:14:00.000-08:00The menfolk went camping with the Scouts this week...The menfolk went camping with the Scouts this weekend, so I spent most of Saturday pottering around at home (it was a public holiday, shops shut), reading the back posts of a lovely blog called Chez Larsson (www.chezlarsson.typepad.com). She's a Swedish lady who writes about her life and her lovely home. In the evening I was invited to go with friends and their kids to see High School Musical 3. There were a lot of 8-year old girls there - 'nuff said! (But I must admit the dance numbers were great.) Sunday the guys came back, 3 of us went to church (the 14-year old has decided he's now an atheist!) and then watched some Fawlty Towers. Nice and relaxing for me, kind of cold and uncomfortable for the guys!
