Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

A grandmother's pride

 My granddaughter who lives in Columbus OH is a student in that university as well, going into her senior year in Early Childhood Education.

This spring she and 3 other young women traveled abroad for 10 days. They had some family friends in 2 places, so they started in Ireland, then went to Italy where my neice (astranged from me) lives, and then Nice France before coming home.

I finally got some of the photos that she took, my granddaughter! I think I'll share the ones without her in them...lots of scenery! I'll keep the ones of her pretty smile in my family album.



The three above are from their Ireland visit.

The next two are from Positano Italy.



Then they went to Florence.







And then to Nice France...





I've only been to Portugal in Europe, so it's wonderful to tease my granddaughter that she's now my internationally traveling grand!

Next I'll start posting some Black Mountain NC pictures...like the auto show last Sat.

Yes, I will share photos soon of Ohio family's vacation I didn't know about until I called my son as they were about to fly home (waiting in the Atlanta Airport) from the Turks and Caicos Islands. Same family! So wonderful they all enjoyed that trip together! I actually called my son on Thurs. because a fellow blogger told me it was Creme Broulee day...and my son loves it! He didn't know about that!

Today's quote:

Try not to take everything personally, things that people say and do don't always have anything to do with you.

      It was, for young women who have worked hard in academics to go find out how people in other countries live.

    I started to say they are very nice pictures, saying that Nice is nice sounds silly. Not to be confused with niece is nice, when, in fact, I don’t know whether she is! 😉

      Ha ha, since she's my granddaughter I didn't get caught in that one! I have other grands who have traveled, but didn't share photos, so I can't say much about their travels.
