child swinging in a hammock

I have had some major changes take place in the last week.

On Sunday, I put my dog down.

Long story.

It was a hard thing to do…but it was the right thing to do.

I am still debating whether that story is appropriate to share on the blog. At this time, I am going to refrain. 🤷‍♀️

Freedom

After processing through the loss, I realized I was free. Crystal wasn’t responsible for anyone but herself again.

I can’t tell you how wonderful that felt to me.

What did I do with my newfound freedom?

I loaded my truck up and headed to Michigan. 😂

The grandkids wanted my full attention as soon as I got to the house. Ahnalaya Ann wanted to look at my rocks, so I obliged. 😍

Grandkids

I couldn’t get to Michigan fast enough.

As always, my grandkids were glad to see me. I have to be honest; I couldn’t wait to see Ahnalaya and Archer. I have spent most of their little lives living with them. As a result, I am pretty attached to them both.

I have decided that Ahnalaya Ann talks almost non-stop. She is growing up and we are having fascinating conversations now. She has lots of plans for us since I am back. 😜

In the featured image, she is swinging in the hammock. The last time we were together, Donovan and I spent time trying to teach her to swing herself. She was thrilled to show me her skills.

I had to take the kiddos for a spin in their little car. Ahnalaya Ann didn’t want to drive…so I did. 😂

Vanessa took her turn driving the kiddos around the yard. 😆

Fall Season

Super excited to enjoy the fall colors again this year. The trees here are a spectacular show color-wise.

I was telling Donovan last night…I want to get to the UP this month. Hoping I can make it farther north before it gets too cold…especially while the trees are so beautiful. He was sharing with me that the temps are supposed to drop soon.

😧

I dread it…but I have my winter gear, so I am prepared. 😆

Fall photos coming soon!

Have a marvy day!!
