| This is the four of us girls, on a hike under the shadow of the Pyrenees, on our trip there this past July. My granddaughter is now 9. Although I was pleased when I heard the news from my daughter that she was pregnant, I had no idea how ga-ga I would go over being a grammy. For that little girl I would commit a felony. For that little girl, I am writing a novel to chronicle something that she experienced. For that little girl, I paint my toe nails and try to wear shoes other-than-Crocs on an occasional basis. (As far as the shoes, I cannot say I'm always successful...) What experience has happened to you that brought about unexpected results? A ga-ga grammy wants to know... |

I Won't Never Be Wearin' No Meat Dress... But I'm Still Ga-Ga
I just got news this week that my sister--far away in France--is going to be a grandmother. Her oldest daughter is due in May.

Love the pic. Four beautiful ladies on a walkabout!
ReplyDeleteThere have been a couple jobs I've held through the years where I've asked myself the question, "Why did I end up here?" The answer in each instance was friends, people I met in those environments who became lifelong friends, sisters of the heart. :)
Lisa--I too have found some wonderful friends while working awful jobs. Thanks for that reminder... Things often happen the way they do for a reason.
DeleteOh, I love that pic, too! Doesn't everybody always look better in France? :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...unexpected results. I would've never guessed that my writing would lead to books published in Korea. Yep, that was most unexpected!
Cathy--Yes, everyone looks marvelous--or as marvelous as possible--in France.
DeleteYes, hordes of groupies in Korea. I imagine that WAS unexpected.
Congratulations, Sioux!
ReplyDeleteMZ--Yes, I'm going to be a Great Aunt. ;)
DeleteThat's great news! And a great picture!
ReplyDeleteWell...when I was chatting with people at my dad's funeral, I never expected it to lead to the job I've had for the past 17 years. You know. The one I will be RETIRING from at the end of May...
Val--I had no idea you had that story hidden in your pocket and unshared with your stalkers/fans/groupies. Perhaps you need to include it in your memoir?
DeleteBecoming a great grandma has been a blessing. Love that photo!
ReplyDeleteLinda--I'll bet. It will be a long time before I see that day... but I can't wait.
DeleteCongratulations to all. And no wonder you're all glowingly beautiful - look at that background!
ReplyDeleteTammy--Yes. The gorgeousness of France sheds some beauty on everything. (No Johnny Depp sightings, however. I guess since he's married to someone who is not French, he's spending more time in the U.S.)
DeleteSioux, I'm praying that your family and friends in France are safe as I type these words. I cannot adequately express my feelings over the horrors that have occurred there. My heart aches for France and for the world.

Pat--Everyone I know and love in France live in either a very small village or in Bordeaux. It is horrible. I suppose violence and hatred know no boundaries...
DeleteEMail from your friends in France
ReplyDeleteYes, we're all terribly sad and voiceless.
Love,
Virginie

There is great sadness here in USA for the losses in Paris.
Everyone is praying for the families of those hurt in the disaster.
