Jeff and Josie are on vacation so I got to tend the grandkids for three days. I wish I was Mary Poppins. My grandkids deserve a magic babysitter. Of course I'm not magic but I try and make the time I spend with them memorable. We went to the Children's Museum today. It was noisy and crowded with school children who were rude and hyper and not nearly as cute as my grandkids.
We went to the top the the Church building to view the city.

And of course we frosted sugar cookies with the cousins.
The night before I was to be at Jeff's home there were winter storm warnings on TV. I got up and left at 5:30 so I would be sure and arrive on time. The warnings did not do the storm justice. When I got into the canyon I decided it was too severe to continue. I turned around and decided to go home and wait it out. But then other cars were going through so I decided to follow them. I could only go 20 miles an hour. The wind was blowing and visability was zero. It was terrifying. I'm glad I know the canyon well. I knew if I could make it to the summit I would be all right. All I can say is, "Just try and keep a grandma from a date with her grandkids".

Such a cute grandma you are!
You are a brave woman to brave the storm but I understand the grandma thing.
Your Grandkids have no idea how lucky they are to have you!
looks like you had a blast. Hope you have fun on your well deserved vacation of your own.
You are better than Mary Poppins! I bet they had a great time with you.
When you said "Grandma Owens" I pictured Maxine! It is hard for me to picture you as a grandma. It just is not possible that we are that old, yet it is true. And don't we have the most adorable and incredible grandkids? Amazing what a grandma will do to be with her grandkids...
You are a magical Grandma! My kids love you like their own grandmas. You always spoil us rotten. Thanks for including us.
Your grandkids are so cute!
