Happy Saturday

I'm sure you've heard the expression "they have an old soul". I don't believe in reincarnation and this phrase is often used by those who do. So, why that came to mind when I first saw this latest picture from my grand-daughter, I have no idea.

Our precious little great-grandson has fascinated me from the first moment I saw him. He was 10 minutes old and his eyes were wide open, staring at everyone's faces. To me, I see something in his eyes that I have trouble describing. Wisdom? Intelligence. An old soul? (the eyes are the window to the soul) I think he's going to be a very special young man, not just because he's our's and Gr-grandma may be a little prejudice, but because of a feeling I get when I look into his eyes. If I did believe in reincarnation, I'd say we've met before.

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here. I went to the store yesterday and got the items I need for my share of the dinner. We're all going to Daughter #1's again this year. She hosts Thanksgiving dinner and I do Christmas eve. It got to be too much for me to do both, since the days in-between seem to have been shortened. I feel like I had just gotten the dinner mess cleaned up when I had to start cooking again.

I found a new favorite TV show last evening. It's Master Chef Junior. Have you seen it? Bob and I like watching some of the many cooking shows and as I was watching this one I was amazed at those children, ages 8-12, and how they knew their way around the kitchen. One little guy used culinary terms like a professional. He said he'd been cooking since he was 2. :)

Until next time...........
