Visiting Ohio

Oh my.. I'm still tired from my trip to visit my daughters family in Ohio.  We went to bed on Wednesday at 10 pm.  I could not sleep until midnight with all the things I was thinking about if I packed everything.  We got up at 2 am and had coffee and a roll and left home at 3 am and Dayle dropped me off at the airport at 3:40.  Now, my dear readers... I am *NOT* a morning person.  I got through security pretty fast and was at my gate (the first one out from security!) and texted Dayle that I was all checked in and fine.  I was flying United.  Take off went fine and here we are above the clouds heading to Denver, my layover.


It was only an hour layover and happily the gate for the next plane was next to the one we landed at!  I changed from a 737 to a smaller plane.  Here we are taxiing out to take off towards Ohio.  Both flights took 2.5 hours each.


There are mountains all around Denver, but a big flat area where the town and airport are.  


This was a pretty plane.


My daughter Amy picked me up at the airport in the baggage claim area and helped me get my one checked bag.  When we got to their house the girls heard the garage door open and they came out and were jumping and smiling and happy to see me!  My beautiful little granddaughters!


My daughter Amy showed me their two guinea pigs, this one is named Pipsqueak.  They are pretty funny, they make cute little noises and when Amy opens the refrigerator the piggies squeak like crazy wanting some lettuce or carrots.  It's funny!


Paige hijacked my iPad Air.. but who could resist that smile?


My DIL Kristi bought three tops and sent them to the girls and they just fit them and they look so cute!



Jenna is picking up on crocheting pretty fast!  She made this little scarf for one of the animals I crocheted for her!



Amy put soft little curlers in Paige's hair.. adorable!


Can you believe it snowed today?  This is looking outside the living room window, it's curved and really pretty.  


Amy was cleaning the guinea pig run and the girls had them in a little corral on the floor.  Oreo and Pipsqueak.


Jenna made this flower and we attached it to a barrette with a button!


Jenna's first crocheted flower!  


Amy is making a spicy linguini with shrimp for dinner.  Day after tomorrow we head off to Amish country - we have a log cabin rented in Berlin, Ohio.  So, the next post, hopefully we'll have some horse and carriage photos!!  I hope you're having a fun weekend!!  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  1. Such wonderful pictures. Paige's curls are so sweet and Jenna is a professional crocheter already! She can start her own business at school. :-). Amish country! Now I AM jealous. I'm looking forward to those pictures. Enjoy your time there Teresa. I know you're cherishing every moment.
    Blessings,

  4. Thankful for your safe trip to Ohio. I'm not a morning person either. But it looks so pretty out though, most of the time. Your granddaughters are adorable and so glad you were able to be with them for awhile. Amish country is beautiful. We went to a cheese factory in Ohio years ago. Enjoy! Looking forward to your photos.

  5. I am a morning person, but not so keen on flying...I do go, but don't enjoy it one bit - the flying bit I mean. No problem with the airport!!

    I was about Jenna's age when I learned to crochet, she really is doing a great job.

    Have a fantastic time with your family!

  8. Glad you had a safe trip to Ohio. Yes, I believe you had snow, heck we had snow flurries again today and right after they delivered the big dumpster and the supplies for my outside renovations and repairs. A new roofs and siding for the out buildings. Anyways, your granddaughters are so cute and I bet they are just loaded with all kinds of news for you. Have a fun time in the Amish country. A rented cabin sounds like fun. Hope they have a fire place. Did you bring your snow shovel, lol
    Keep warm, get lots of hugs from the girls, 'Susanne :)

It's entire possible I have missed your Ta-Dah post with it. I haven't been on the computer for a couple of days. Guess I'll check and see! Have fun! Hugs...

  11. Hi Lovely Teresa, So happy you made it to Ohio safely and had two bouncy granddaughters happy to see their wonderful grandmother! I think Jenna's has talents like her grandmother! And Paige I don't think she could be any cuter and those eyes! I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy every moment with your "3" girls.

  14. What fun to see your post while you are away enjoying your girls! They have grown so much! So pretty!!! I am so glad that the crochet lessons are going great. My Hannah might be a bit too young? She is only 7. I love her sweet flower!! So good!!! She is sure to be a pro!!!
    When I was a girl, we raised Guinea Pigs. We allowed them free range in our backyard, and my Dad had built little outbuildings, just their size for them to get inside. We must have had a couple dozen. Some were so long haired, and cute. They were tame, and we handled them like kittens. I was at Petco the other day with Noah, and we were looking at the Guinea Pigs, and I was remembering them as a kid. I was wondering if that might not be a good pet for him. Have a great time in Amish country!!!!

  25. So glad you're making wonderful memories, Teresa, and it is great to see your three special girls! My friend in San Jose used to have Guinea pigs in her little backyard and they kept the grass mowed :) I am having a happy beautiful trip so far even though it has rained a bit...which is sorely needed here. Will try to post some photos. xx
