In addition to my exciting Segway experience (see previous post), I spent time with our daughter, son-in-law and children.  I'm usually behind the camera - actually my cell phone camera.  As a result, I'm rarely in the pictures.   So it is very "sweet " to have these photos of myself with three of the five grandchildren in that household.  The tweets are some of the ones from my Twitter account  that challenged or encouraged me this week.
 Sweet!

  3. I'm glad you had some photos of you with the grandchildren Rebecca. I take a lot of them but forget sometimes to get photos of us "Together!". So good for you! I love all the quotes. I especially liked the fourth one as I believe our guilt is our punishment. Love Di ♥

  9. oh these pictures are great! I'm like you, the one ususally taking the pictures and not often in them with the children...sigh...

    my favorite quote here is: “Christian, the sins you cannot forget, God cannot remember (see Psalm 103:12; Hebrews 8:12).” Tullian Tchividjian It is true and something I think about often...I cannot understand it but I believe it and I'm grateful...

    So glad you had this special grandma time!!!
