Home & grandkids

This afternoon I played with play dough with my third granddaughter Sophia Anne Shaw. Miss Sophia at 3years is a golden, curly haired military sergeant in the making. I do not need an alarm clock to wake up as Miss Sophia does this by banging on my bedroom door, and bellowing "wake up grandma Shaw", several times in quick succession. Her bellow is reminiscent of training sergeants I knew in the Army during the 70s. anyway we , that means me rolled out dough while Miss Sophia cooked pizza for us to eat while teling me to not eat it as it would make my stonach "ichy". I became artistic and modelled a turtle called'Tommy' who then tried nibbling Miss Sophia's toes to much noise and calls of "no turtle no eating. she is now telling grandfather Shaw how to erect a bbq grill in the backyard.
