It’s a very peaceful / calm picture. But we do know that when a storm rolls through we don’t want to be on a boat 🚣 out there.

I just spent the last couple of days with my grandson. It was very nice as always when he comes. He is getting bigger an almost ready to tackle the 🌎 world.

It sure is different then when I was his age in many ways. I did not point any of these things out just like my grandfather did not point out the things out. I was something that didn’t have to be discussed it was right there for anybody who’s eyes were open.

I am greatful for this past week. I could point out 💯 reasons to be depressed about that has happened this week. I choose to smile about the past couple of days that gave me some insight on the man my grandson will become.

How about you. Tell me just one thing that has made your week the best. Just one thing. I would really like to hear it.
So please share it.

We have found a little trailer to set up out back. There is a very good chance the FIL will come to stay there. That would be so much better for a lot of reasons. We will just have to wait and see but having an extra living space will be useful at any rate.
I got a new bandsaw this week so I am pretty happy about that.
Plus my dehydrated watermelon chips were a huge hit with the grandkids.

Trailer is a great extra living space. It gives everyone room and privacy.
When you get it set up send some pictures

Nice that the grandkids came by. Good stuff there

My mom was needing a little help. Macular degeneration is making it tough on her. My nephew's mother in law was looking for a change. Mom is really enjoying having her help.

Hi there! It was a pretty normal week for me. I guess the best thing that happened was that the weather improved a lot, after a really gloomy Wednesday. This means I don't need to be locked inside on the weekend. 😃

Hugs!

Thanks
The weather does have an impact on how we feel. How true

The things that make my week the best is nearly always my daughter and watching her develop. She has been ill and has an eye infection but still finds ways to be cheerful and have fun, a reminder to us all I think.

In the last few weeks she has upped her negotiation skills incredibly and is now using our words against us. It makes me happy that she can call-out her parents, at least for now. :)

Our kids are incredible.
They give us our strength. And humble us at the same time.
They make us cry and bring us joy.

I have been so blessed by both my kids and grandson. The past couple of days have made everything worthwhile.

Watching our kids developing overtime is special.

That I can get out of bed and watch the sun come up almost every morning this past week ( been getting up at 5am to take our puppy outside for his 'business')

My happy thing this week is that my son FINALLY is out of restaurants and is actually working where I work. It's very comforting.

Glad you got time with your grandson. I don't have grandkids yet, I can only imagine what it's like. I live that vicariously through my 'adopted' kids LOL.

Nice
Working with family is great when it works out. I have seen it also where it turns out bad.
Good for you that it works. And rewarding

The best part is he cannot believe how laid back the whole team is and it is a team minus the owners LOL. I still keep waiting for someone to jump my case about something. He works on the other side of the building so I don't 'work' with him, but we ride together and do lunch. I admit it I have tried to hold on to him much longer than I should. I let him do his thing and don't interfere except when this opening came up I had him apply. Steady paycheck to take some stress off of him.

Nothing wrong with that
Don’t hold on to tight.have to let them make mistakes and figure it out. It’s hard but the best way and he will come to you when he is ready

I do. He had moved back to California for a little while. OMG a few of my friends told me how horrible I was. I said I can't stop him from living his life. I had too many interferences in my life, I won't do that to him. I just like having him close is all.

My mom was needing a little help. Macular degeneration is making it tough on her. My nephew's mother in law was looking for a change. Mom is really enjoying having her help.

That is so nice and special.
Family 👍

Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with your grandson! As for my week, I have been running around filling applications for school registration for my son. Next year he will be in kindergarten and I have to see if I put him in a French school or an English one. We have some strict laws about this in here and it's a pain in the ass to navigate the system.

That’s a big day for him. Now he is a big boy. 👨‍🎓

They sure do make shit hard. Simple thing like registering for school.

dear friend, my week was one with sun and dead and for the kids thats hard, but life is sometimes hard and sucks big time..... but i try to see the good and not the bad and ugly, but even i who thinks she is super woman think its hard eventhough this was the first major thing in a long time. We strived as a family and with love we can concur all.
I sent you an hug and why not open a account for you jem, your grandson is our steemits future.
love from holland

Hi @wolfhart! I have decided to stop posting on Steemit for now so I havent been on lately but I got on tonight to check up on those friends of mine on here. I was sad when I got to your recent update. You will to stay strong and push through is beautiful. Living life one aday at a time!

One thing to make my week the best: my relationship with my husband has been amazing this week. We are working through a lot of lifes battles right now.

Also, my daughter always makes my weeks the best. She is four and learning so much in Pre K. Well after I wrote that I did just remember that she snuck a dog bone the other day and ate it lol

I will stay strong and talk to you when you get back
I wish you and your family all the best.
lol gotta love the little ones. They sure make one smile

The one thing that has made my week the best is looking after the grandchildren twice @wolfhart.

Yesterday we looked after the little one on his own which was unusual. It was lovely to be able to give him 100% attention.

Today we had both of them together and took them to a National Trust property where there was a pumpkin patch area with pumpkin skittles, pumpkin races, colouring an carving etc. Great fun. 😁

I find that our kids grandchildren give us the most pleasure and reward then anything else
I was a little surprised that most of the responses agreed 😀 that is such a great thing

The older I get, as the things I want to do get crossed of my list, and materials possessions have long since lost any allure, time with my family and friends gets more and more precious. 😁

It makes me happier than anything else by a long way.

Material things have never had any allure on me. I enjoy the simple things and the company of friends and family.
Wether it’s bbq, birthdays, fishing or just hanging out .

Same for me @wolfhart. 😊

Glad that you have spent some quality time with your grandson!

What made my week this week? My toddler slept the night through for two nights in a row! It's Paradise over here!

😀
That’s great news. She has been having a tuff time sleeping. And making it so hard on yous. Have you been still camping on the floor

Actually, we had a few days of uninterrupted sleeping in our own bed! But last night was back to the floor camp...

Couple days are better then none.

Kids sure don’t understand why they don’t sleep
Our kids didn’t have that much of a problem. For a month or so after a move then things settle down.

It’s hard on everybody
