My Family Week in Grimsby
It is Saturday 13th July cloudy morning 16 C, yesterday my daughter
invited couple of families to celebrate her husband's birthday. She managed
to cook meat curry, fried rice and chicken broast. She got Pizza, fries and
cake, from outside.
I gave him shirt from Marks Spencer. It costed twenty five pounds. Others
gave him flowers, muffler, perfume and tie. We had pictures, everyone
had great time.
When we have parties, company comes first, menu comes after. We have
to make sure that atmosphere has to be enjoyable for everyone. People at
home, also not too tired to give company to guests.
It is 9.15, I am in the kitchen, making my breakfast, will go to the back
garden to walk around, to enjoy the Pink and Red Roses, the beautiful
Daisies and Hydrangea. Black Squirrel is here to give me company.
Two pigeons sitting on the neighbor's roof top, talking to each other. I think
talking about me. They started knowing me by now. I miss my friend, the
White Butterfly. It was cloudy, now started drizzling.
Tomorrow my Youngest daughter will be coming from Reading. She will
stay for couple of days. For me it will be great, having two of my daughters,
to spend my time with them and to enjoy.
Monday 15th July 15 C sunny beautiful morning. My youngest daughter
not coming today. Her son had some fever. She will come on Tuesday.
Today I washed my clothes. My daughter wanted to do it in machine. For
couple of clothes, not worth to waste so much energy. She was busy in the
kitchen. I washed my clothes in a bucket.
It is better to handle our own things and not to bother our Kids.
They are already busy with their own family matters.
Dear Retirees, you people asked me about how to handle Teenagers.
I believe that we never have to take advantage of others. It builds up
trust and works to maintain relationships.
Kris Dear, please explain to Father, it is rude to demand gifts from anyone
specially from your grand kids. Nothing works one sided. Same is with
throwing parties. There is always give and take in every relationship.
I wonder why Father is having parties at home every day. He has to
understand that it is too much for the family. They are already taking
care of Him. That is more than enough.
Dear Reader who is doing 2 Jobs, we give gifts to people only on special
occasions. Please focus on your work and try to avoid making personal
comments. People don't like that.
July 16, 14 C cloudy morning. I am walking in the back garden
to smell Pink Roses. Red Fuchsia and White Daisies looking
beautiful. White Butterfly is also here. I think came to see me.
It is nice of her.
It is 5 pm my youngest daughter is here from Reading. It was more
than five hours drive. Tonight I will be having dinner with two of my
daughters. Her sister made couple of her favorite dishes.
Every day I get ready at 8.30 in the morning to go with my daughter,
to drop kids to school and work. Same in the afternoon to pick them up.
In between groceries and cooking time in the kitchen.
I am happy spending all my time with my daughters. Time flies. We have
to gather memorable moments. It gives glitter to our memory box.
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. This being Saturday, lots of customers are in my shop today to read blog. They come here to read blog from today and also the past week. There is no room inside, and people are waiting outside. I am running low on supplies. The priest is also here today. He is making notes.

ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees appreciate your blog today. The blog covered so much ground that we had to read, and re-read it many times. It covered complex issues such as self independence, relationships with grand kids, interactions with children as well as travelogue. The retirees decided to form a committee to further investigate this as we could not comprehend it completely during the 45 or so minutes that we spend in reviewing it
thank you

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Garden today. Mrs. Lucy brought everyone yogurt smoothies as it is too hot here. There was a house full and as usual the Dean was here listening quietly, with eyes closed, hands folded and head bowed to your blog. After the reading he smiled and said that Smile has covered some very important topics today, I hope we can all benefit from it. He then directed the professor of sociology to look into this in more details and determine if the contents are too complicated for Master's students.
The Smile Army heard that and started raising slogans for you. Prof George wanted to ask them to stop but the Dean intervened and said that let them go, after all this is between them and Smile.
thank you

Smile is a factory of new ideas. It is a mystery how she does it. Just like it is a mystery how there are flowers in spring every year
