"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Living with E

E is calling me "Maid" today.

She has a castle, where she is the Queen.

She invited M to come live there.

When M seemed hesitant she told her: "Don't worry, you will get used to all the rules."

Here is E, allowing her Maid to videotape her singing for posterity.

my dumb computer won't let me watch the video but your post was funny! Don't worry you'll get used to all the rules!

Wish I still lived in Iowa, I would totally look at places for you I kinda know someone who's husband is going there to get his masters in nursing. I'm going to try and contact her to see where they are going to live, etc. I have a feeling that it's similar to here, if there's a decent place to rent, it gets rented fast!

We have pictures from a day when Amy was E's age and she played queen for the day with Grandma Penny. She had a tree skirt for a gown and a candle snuffer for a bell. Kids are so funny, enjoy it while you can soon they will be preteens like mine!

You should feel right at home as maid, that sounds like the kind of activity we would have done in our youth!

GRANDMA is going CRAZY!!!!...MISSING her babies!

I ESPECIALLY liked the ICE CREAM SONG, of course! However, Grandma's answer would have been...ONE OF EACH!!!

Love,
Grandma Paula
