LEAVING SOUTH CAROLINA

We are in North Carolina now — staying at a place that's really the 'end of the earth' but we love it!  (It's called Sea Level NC) — tomorrow we plan to take a ferry to the Outer Banks where we'll spend at least a few days.

Our internet connection here is quite iffy — and it may be worse tomorrow.  I'll catch up with the blog when we can!

This post is for  MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY

CHAD AND GG  Because there's a tiny part of me that wants to be the kind of mom/grandma/great-grandma who sits in a rocker on her front porch and stays involved with every minute of her kids lives, I am always out-of-sorts for a day or two when we leave family.  (Believe me, if I really tried to be that kind of mother, I'd drive myself and everyone around me stark raving bonkers within a month or two!) 

So Bill is always patient with me until I get into my 'on the road again' mode.  At any rate, leaving Charleston was made marginally easier because of the knowledge that if we weren't traveling with our own tiny house, we'd never have had the chance to spend two weeks visiting our new great-grandkids, here on the opposite coast from where we used to live. 

  I wish we'd been blogging when our grandkids were this age — so much fun to take pictures. 

I wanted to post a few more of both of the kids, but the Internet isn't cooperating.  Perhaps I'll update this post later.  Below is a picture of big brother.

Big brother doesn't mind posing, he just doesn't want to hold still long enough for me to shoot a picture.

  1. Sallie, you and I are kindred spirits. I cry for a couple of hours after leaving my grandchildren and then get into a quiet and sad mood for a couple of days. Being on-the-road does help lot because I can concentrate on something beside missing my kids.
    Your little ones are so cute.

  2. It is hard to leave them and they are so cute. As you say you would be itching to get on the road again if you were in a rocker on the porch.

    Oh Sallie – that was such a good picture of you and your grandchild. I know what you mean – your heart is torn as to what to do. You want to stay and you want to go.

  4. Such cuties!
    I wish I could get down in the floor like I did with my kids but my rickety knees won’t let me. Bless little Lily’s heart she asked me one day to sit in the floor and I told her Grammy couldn’t because of her bad knees. She understood and just crawled over to the floor in front of me so we could play.
    She would love that dinosaur! How cute is that!
    Continued safe travels Sallie.
    I don’t know if you’ve ever been to the Outer Banks but I love it there. Can’t wait to see it from your eyes.

  8. Safe travels. I’ve never been to the Outer Banks or any coastal area in North Carolina. I guess I’m always too much in a hurry to get to Florida. Looking forward to some great pictures and exciting adventures. Jude

  9. Wonderful photos of you and your grandchildren. Have fun in the Outer Banks. Happy MYM!
