Happy Easter!!! The (crazy?) director decided to add a day to camp. At least an evening. After all the festivities today, the director got a hotel room at a hotel with a pool. The campers arrived at the hotel and immediately changed into their swimming suits and off to the pool it was! They playedContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Six”

Camp Grandma – Day Five
As mentioned yesterday, Camp Grandma took a trip to Middletown, Ohio to visit Triple Moon Coffee Company-one of the best coffee shops ever! The campers got chocolate milk-not as fancy as expected because it was busy, but delicious nonetheless. Grilled cheese to eat was a no-brainer. The stretch factor on the cheese was phenomenal! TheContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Five”
Camp Grandma – Day Four
This camp director is tired! No matter-Moving on… Today was another kind of laid back day and only the younger camper was here. The older camper turned nine in March and today his aunt had the day off so she spent it with him in Columbus doing all kinds of cool aunt things. Meanwhile, backContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Four”
I’m Glad I Came
(Poetry Month – Week One) I’m Glad I Came I came So they could see your face in mine. So they could see your smile in mine. And I, in turn, could see you in new faces and in new smiles. I came So I could hear your voice in the wind. So I couldContinue reading “I’m Glad I Came”
Camp Grandma – Day Three
Day three proved to be a fairly low key day-exciting nonetheless! The trip to the grocery on day two fell short. The director forgot to include supplies for making pizza on the list so there was another trip to the grocery needed this morning. Which-turned out to be an awesome thing because at the groceryContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Three”
Camp Grandma – Day Two
Whew! What a first day of camp! The camp director’s knees are feeling it! But we move on! Day two-the campers arrived at about 8:45 a.m. all spunky and excited about using sidewalk chalk in a spray can! (Shout out to 5 Below) The plans for the driveway went from Godzilla to much more simpleContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Two”
Poetry Month
Just a quick note. April is poetry month and since I’m a self published poet, what else would I post on my blog in April other than my poetry? Each Thursday I will post a poem and then talk about how I came to write it and what inspired me. If you haven’t subscribed yetContinue reading “Poetry Month”
Camp Grandma-Day One
Camp Grandma got off to a great start! The campers arrived at 8:00 in the morning and we chilled until about 11:00. We looked at the chalk painting supplies for Tuesday and did a little prep by punching out the pieces in several stencils to use with the chalk paint. We also got paint brushesContinue reading “Camp Grandma-Day One”
Mystery Reader
When my grandson was in first grade, his class began having Mystery Readers come in on Friday after lunch and recess. Any family member who wanted to be a reader filled out a basic information sheet and then included 5 hints about themselves as well as the title of the book they would be reading. Continue reading “Mystery Reader”
Shared Energy
Written in May, 2023 My grandson, Liam, and I went to the Schuster Center to see the Broadway play Frozen. We sat in the very top row. I had the binoculars we had purchased the day before, my knitting and some cookies. Liam brought us each a package of Teddy Grahams and a packet ofContinue reading “Shared Energy”
