I don't think I'll learn Mau Mau...but I will ask my granddaughter if she will make a deck of cards with me, like yours. Each one designed with a theme. We used to do projects like that. Maybe she's too cool now :) Going through socialization big time. Aware of her blossoming maturity. She's so sweet. A mix of child and young lady. Finding her way, testing the waters. She loves Oma (that's me), but I think I'm a little irrelevant to her right now. Although...she did ask when we'll be having one of our sleepovers. So, who knows?
I think people may spend a lot of time with media...TV, telephone, Facebook. I know I spend a lot of time writing, although I don't have a work schedule anymore. My 'work' is my family, helping my daughter and granddaughter.
I think you are quite unique. The concept of 'wasted' time doesn't exist for you, because you approach whatever you do consciously. You're aware of the moments and the experience. That, I think, comes from your Eastern studies.
Well, I'm off to look at your new blog. I haven't really checked it out. Just saw some art. I have a feeling there's another treat waiting for me.
Have a great, peaceful day.

Good idea to create something with your grand daughter. You are a fine "Oma" :)
Yes, adults become irrelevant to the teens, we know that, don't we? The more important it is to ignore that and head towards what one wants to offer the kids. Offerings should be kept open whether they are received or not. It's a treasure you know that.
I wish the two of you a good and fun time the next time the sleep over takes place. She is a happy kid, having a grandmother like you.
I got sick, unfortunately and canceled my appointments for today. Hope, I will recover soon.
The Eastern studies are a great source of getting advice once one doesn't know where to look for orientation. I could use them far more often :)
Have a wonderful day, AG!
So sorry you are sick! I also hope your recovery is quick.
Thank you for your kind words. Family (including pets) is first in my life, so I like your comment.
Get better. Create. Good for you, great for us :)
I will see you here soon.
Affectionately,
AG
