Hi Beads! I miss you! wav

Went to Orlando this morning, left at about 6:30 am to get a new iPhone 3G to replace the iPhone I drowned last week! They weren't kidding! We got there about 7:30 am and there were already 25 people in line! Wow! But I did get my phone and now I feel all wired again! ahhhhh, that feels good. ;D

There is a family heirloom Swedish dessert I make that calls for raw milk. We were able to buy it years ago but laws now prevent it being sold to consumers. Wish I knew a Michigan farmer with cows so I could get some. The dessert I make can be made with whole milk but its not nearly as good nor does it set up as well.

Maybe we could sneak into one of the fields here and milk a Villages cow....LOL. We could go during the night and dress in black. Wouldn't that be a hoot!

Next time you and I are here in The Villages together, could I talk you into a cheese making party? That would be fun!

Miss you and wish we had had more time together.

Hi Beady, I agree the Heirloom variety of tomatoes are excellent. We hope to get some later on this summer.

We used to get our milk from the local dairy farm - we called it from moo to you. As he was milking the cows we would buy what we needed.

The only place that I know of to get milk unpasteurized would be at an Amish farm or a farm of other religious sects. We have a close friend who is Amish, I will ask David to write him to see if there are any villages fairly close to TV.

Bright please count me in for the cheese making party. Hopefully I will be able to bring the milk.

I'm not sure I did a good thing today. I sent my granddaughter back to Philadelphia today on a 3 PM flight. As she started to board, my tears started falling. I was so annoyed with myself. After three weeks, I was ready to get back to just the two of us and restarting my social life. What makes us love them so much???? For the next week I'll find barrettes, socks, ribbon, small toys,etc decorating areas of our home. I hope each one doesn't bring a pang of missing her. I guess it's true what they say about "if I knew how great the grandkids would be, I'd have had them first and skipped the kids." She called when she landed. She said "I miss you, Grams."

Awwwww Sam....my heart skipped a beat reading your post! I'm so happy she made it home safely.

Sam, its a real tug of war on the heartstrings

Part of us wants them to stay forever but the other part is so exhausted and in dire need of a break.

renielarson · 07-31-2008, 01:29 AM

:bow: AMEN, Nonie :bow:

Hyacinth Bucket · 07-31-2008, 02:00 AM

Sam I can understand your feelings. I know for me the house seems feels empty after they leave and all of a sudden I realize how fast the time flew by.

Nonie - I know what you mean.

We are very very lucky to have such precious grandchildren that our hearts are pulled in both directions at the same time.

awwww Sam, she's a cutie and will be back before you know it. I'm happy you have her, I don't think I'll ever be a grandma. Just not in the cards.

samhass · 07-31-2008, 01:41 PM

Well chels, there are worse things than not being a grandparent. You have much less inner conflict about not seeing them, how they are being raised, etc, etc. You can just go out and play without having to worry about them. And it's waaaaaay cheaper not having them. 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

Chels

I have an idea!!!! I'll introduce you to my grandson who lives nearby and you can be his grandma when I'm not here...lol

chelsea24 · 07-31-2008, 02:04 PM

Sam and Bright: I love you two, dear friends. Hey, we could start a business. "Rent a Kid". hahaha. :bigthumbsup:

nONIE · 07-31-2008, 02:20 PM

Thats a good idea! That would cure any future grandma wannabees! (I know, Im awful!) 1rnfl

samhass · 07-31-2008, 02:23 PM

If you take Bright's grand, you'd better be aware that he's used to a Gram that loves to play and do cool kid stuff. (and spoil him)
