Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
I am thankful that I got to spend time watching a movie with The Great One on Tuesday. Typhoid Mary was at Girl Scouts that day, but she said she wants me to spend a whole day at her house playing dolls. She has a lot of Barbies and Elsa and Anna dolls that we play with. It does make me sad that The Great One has already outgrown that though.
And today is C day for The A-Z Blogging Challenge. As you know, my theme is Halloween. C is for concrete pumpkins. If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that my hubby and I made these last fall by pouring concrete into nylons and putting strings around them.
I feel bad that I skipped the poetry again this week. One of these weeks, I will get back into it.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

Wonderful pumpkins that you and and your hubby made!XO
I remember those pumpkins!
Sounds like you might be doing the girls separately to deal with their different interests…unless they have a common thing they love.
I remember you making those pumpkins. I am glad you had an enjoyable day with The Great One.
Looks like you’ve had plenty to keep you busy besides poetry, lol.
I played with dolls until I was 13 or 14. But when I was young, kids grew up slower.
I remember your concrete pumpkins DIY craft. This is a clever idea and whoever came up it is quite creative which is quite cool! 🙂
It’s sad when kids grow out of doing things. Continue to make every minute count with your nieces and nephew. They go by so fast!
The pumpkins are just so cool! I am ready for Fall already and we haven’t made it to the dreaded summer yet. I need some Fall in my life. Nice to have spent some time with The Great One. I think you will have many special times with her… just different. You will find ways to make them happen!
Well put. Fun, but different. Very true.
Those pumpkins are pawsome. We agree with Pix. We’d be happy to pass by summer.
Always forget to add pumpkin seeds to my list of favorite foods; they are yummy!
I remember the concrete pumpkins! Super cool!
Me, I could do without Summer every single year. Divvy that time up with Spring and Fall.
I agree with another commenter above. You will still have fun together, and The Great One too…but as she said, different. It takes getting used to. I went through that with all my boys. They grew up on me, by golly. Our times doing things together singly or all of them changed venues accordingly. Like..we are all into coin collecting, and we’d excitedly go to coin shows and shops…and spend all kinds of time (and $$) together in a mutual interest.
Ellen no matter what you do with TGO TM and TB it is full of love and memories
