Monday Morning Coffee Chat

Let's Talk About Great-Granddaughters!

We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday afternoon with the family, it's my favorite thing to do!


Miss Ava was celebrating her 8th birthday!  Time passes so quickly, wasn't it yesterday that she was just a  little toddler?!
Ava is our great-granddaughterShe is a little sweetheart.

It was so sweet to watch her read her cards without much help from Momma!

How quick the years go by when we find joys we think will never pass. Although they do, we happily accept the new ones we amass.


Best friends stayed over for a slumber party.  Look at Ava on the end, she looks like she's going to put the whole piece of pizza in her mouth.  She's having fun and making memories.


This is Maddie taking a selfie with the chickens!  Silly girl.  What is it with 15 year olds and selfies?  lol...Maddie is my oldest great grandchild, she's wonderful ~ I can say that because I'm her Granny.

This is great-granddaughter Emma! Miss Personality!

Today's Quote:
"With your own children, you love them immediately ~
and with grandchildren, it's exactly the same."
Kevin Whately

Today's Thoughts:
Grandchildren are the best part of getting old.

A grandchild's hug lasts long after they let go.

Today's Scripture:
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
Proverbs 17:6

Solomon, who possibly by this time had grandchildren of his own, wrote that children are like a crown to the grandparents and the glory of their parents, or in other words, they are very proud of them and most precious in their sight. For grandparents, it’s like having their own children all over again but without all the responsibility and grandparents play a key role in their grandchildren’s lives.

  5. Grandchildren are just the best, and I bet great grands are as well. Yours are so pretty and I know you enjoy being with them. They grow up so fast, so we need to spend time while we can.

  6. Awww, such precious great-grandgirls!! You truly are blessed. I completely agree....love our grand-kiddos to pieces, but am very glad I don't have the total responsibility of raising them to adulthood. Mercy, I'm way too old to start over...after all, my name isn't Sarah!!! LOL Your girls are beautiful...just like you, my Friend. And, how can you even be old enough to have a 15 year old great? Impossible!!

  10. Your great granddaughters are lovely Mary. I have 4 great grandsons ranging in ages 14 down to 3 and miss watching them grow up as they live in Austin Texas and I'm here in NY. Thank goodness for Facebook where I get to see the photos my granddaughter posts of them. Have a blessed evening my friend.
