I have been getting up very early these past few weeks to drive No.one grandson to catch a ride to Trade SchoolYesterday morning ,after a night of very heavy, very constant rain , we could not get out of our drive way due to the water across the road
By 8.30 it had receded enough for us to get out, but only in hubbys four wheel drive
Very unusual for our part of the world
Our house is on the top of a hill so we were fine .but some of the neighbours werent so lucky
They are all saying how bad it must have been for the people of Qld and Northern Victoria who were much worse off than them , even though some have them have extensive damage
Grandson was two hours late for Trade School and of course missed his ride so I drove him all the way and waited for him to finish at 4.00pm
No real hardship as I got to visit my new "great grandchild "
in hospital
She is not really my grandchild but her Mum has decided thats what Iam to be
Lorraines husband Jim's son and daughter in law had a beautiful baby girl on Tuesday morning Lorraine was looking forward to being a step grandmum
The babies name is Kittie Elizabeth Jaine
Jane is her Mums name but they chose to spell it this way for My Aine
I was delighted that they chose to do this
Isnt she cute?Iam making the applique quilt for her bed once she gets into one of course
I have plenty of time to get it finished
She is absolutely adorable Illene.....and I LOVE her name!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a new little person to make quilts for!
Enjoy!
Forget the technicalities - if you're a great grandmum of the heart then you're the "real deal". That's quite a head of hair she's got there - she's gorgeous. You forget how tiny and fragile they are when they're brand new, don't you?

ReplyDeleteThe floods must have brought home the true devastion of various parts of the world, it is the unusual which makes us sit up and take note isn't it? Count our own blessings in a way. So pleased that your unusual floods abated quickly. And brought a silver lining by giving you more time with your new family member - Kittie Elizabeth Jaine. Lorraine would be chuff. xxxxx
