THE PUMPKIN PATCH

This morning we went to my daughter and
son-in-laws house for breakfast. We walked in to the wonderful aroma of pancakes, sausage and fresh coffee.....however.....there were no babies running to the door excited to see us.......I guess those days are long gone!! My oldest grandson Ryan (17) was at his girlfriend's house for breakfast with her family, the middle one...Joel....(15) was off to a Bills game with a bunch of his friends. He was picked up in hummer limo...no competition for his grandparents!! The youngest one Matt...(13) was home.....but he was very engrossed in video games! :)

After breakfast, I was able to convince Matt to come with me to Powers Farm market to go through the teepees and buy cider and doughnuts....Steve, (my husband) was going to stay at our daughter's to watch football..so....Matt and I also planned to go to a movie!!

On the way to the "Pumpkin Patch" we listened to music and talked. I realized that my babies were all young men now, and I had to enjoy them in a different way!

When the kids were little our "grandma" days were a weekly event......now they don't occur as often ..... but they are even more special!!
