What do you do
when you are at Nana's house
on a day
when it is too cold and windy
to play outside?
Some might watch movies
Some might color.
Some might play games.
But at OUR house 2 of the 3 girls
disappear.
I hear some giggling and
in the downstairs hall
I see this!
Hmmmm....better here than on the
hardwood floors on the main level.
MyHero would be having a heart attack
if he were here....shhhhhhh...
What are you doing girls?
Nuthin!!!!
Really????
Hmmm....looks like skating in progress
to me-
Watch this, Nana!
Maria whizzes along like a pro.
Look at SweetCheek's face
Okay-it's YOUR TURN, SweetCheeks.
Ohkay! Here I come...
How are you doing, SweetCheeks?
I hahte skating!
I am gonna go watch Snow White.
Snow White doesn't like skating eihther!
Yes- But did you have fun?
NO!
Oh- Good- I am not quite
ready to go sit and watch the
girls roller derby yet anyway!
Maybe I will put MY skates
on and practice in the downstairs hall.
Do they have roller derbies for
old ladies? Just wonderin'.......
Oh boy! Watch out! I think they do have roller derby for the mature crowd but lots of pillows are involved! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your brother, Charlie. Loss is hard especially during holidays.
ReplyDeleteWatch those girls skate! Some day they will be young women and too old for Nanna. Ouch!
Deb
Oh, this is so funny. That Sweet Cheeks is going to have a comedy show on TV, I just know it.
ReplyDeleteDid you roller-skate too? Do tell!
(That was all there was to do in Conyers in the 1970's!)
Dianna,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting!!!
I am glad to see that you are back to blogging. You are still and always will be in my thoughts and prayers....
Hugs,
Deb
Good Morning Diana, I am up after getting to sleep at home last night. I enjoyed your post this morning. Girls aren't much different doing things then my boys at times. I have a grandson like Sweet Cheeks didn't like skating, but you ought to watch him now. It can change. Thanks for stopping by. I have had a very rough week that much is for sure. Have a wonderful day. It is cold and we had a little snow last night. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteteeheee......whatever it takes to KEEP UP with those kids! I am a teacher in elementary and I tell ya, you best be in shape to run around with them! WHAT FUN!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much for coming to visit and for understanding that my post was just a fun and frivilous opportunity to translate with words and pictures! Have a great day, Diana! Anita
Yes, good thing they are not on the wood floors. So glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteWhat entertaining visitors you have Diana. Love the skating, but not sure I'd survive it.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think you should rethink about strapping a pair of those on. With your ankle and butt, it might not be a good thing. I don't think they make good protective gear for nanas yet, so you better just grab a chair and take photos.
ReplyDeleteLOL at SC! Finally something she can't do! Was this before or after the starbucks run?
Diana, There needs to be more padded items to wear while training. I know what you mean about the floors. I just knew they'd be skating in the garage. Yikes. You can roll with the best of them nana, just not on skates.xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteNo, you might break your hip and we don't need that! I hate roller skates, much prefer ice skates, because it seems to hurt less when you fall on the ice.
ReplyDeleteand that's *exactly* what I was thinking...Roller Derby!
ReplyDeleteNOT!
shudder. I don't want to even try and imagine...
So good to see you back, Diana! Looks like the girls are having too much fun. Now we know what you do in your spare time. That WAS you in the last shot, wasn't it????!
ReplyDeleteI look like Sweetcheeks whenever I've put on a pair of skates, Diana! LOL ~ I hold onto everything! I'd rather watch Snow White, too. : )
ReplyDeletenow that looks like fun! I have never roller skated, just ice skating, I say go for it Diana! Take video though for us please,
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughters are so cute!! I used to love to roller skate when I was young. Lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteLOL Donna says that was you in the last shot! I hurt just thinking about roller skating ( and at 53 that's a little pathetic, right? )
ReplyDeleteBet you wouldn't have let your kids roller skate in the house, aren't the grandkids special? With special rights?
Have a good wknd Diana!
Hugs,
Suzan
You're the best...what fun these girls have at your house!
ReplyDelete:)
Cindy
I used to skate like Maria... not I skate like SweetCheeks. How'd that happen, I wonder!
ReplyDeleteI never liked skating, not even ice skating. Your girls will have such wonderful memories of visiting at your house!
ReplyDeleteOh, your the kind of Nana I always wanted to have. They must have had a ball. OMG remember the roller derby girls, yikes. Glad you would rather watch Snow White. My roller blading days are over, but I used to love roller blading with my girls when they were little.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me giggle. I love your style.
Karen
Hi Diana, I think your sweet girls just know how to have fun and be creative on a cold day. They are so cute. I did love to skate and ice skate when growing up.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun at your house.
Have a warm weekend,
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Roller skating was one of my favorite things to do as a youngster - they look like they are having fun!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I need to get Gracie some quads. They're much easier than inline skates and you can tighten the wheels to make them roll slower giving kids more control. I used to love skating. Now, I'm afraid I might fall and that concrete is HARD. So is the ice. Nope.... I probably shouldn't attempt it.
ReplyDeleteThose girls will always remember skating in grandma's house! Cutie patooties!
ReplyDeleteBetter stay out of the way of those roller derby youngsters! Looks like they are well on their way to somewhere!
ReplyDeleteYou have been missed, Diana. It is really good to have you back.
xo Nellie
What the Capt. doesn't know won't hurt him will it? I thought, wow, SC is getting so tall.....roller skates, hah.
ReplyDeleteI used to rollerskate in our family basement for HOURS!! Throw on the disco music and I was a happy camper!! Cute pics.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly mischievious, aren't they? Surely they didn't think they could hide doing that from you! LOL
ReplyDeletePoor PoutyCheeks...
ReplyDeleteNo roller derby for you, Miss Thang!
xoxo, Tina
LOL-such exuberance. Tell me next time J is gone and I'll bring my skates over-that way we could hold each other upright.
ReplyDeleteTell me, is cleavage part of the derby uniform-appears it is ;-)
:D What cuties~
ReplyDeleteI can tell that they are all about the mischief! They are too much *fun* They look like they're entering the Fun Olympics and going for the gold! Good for them!
xo,
RJ
This is just TOO precious! What adorable, beautiful girls! Maybe...ICE SKATES for you?????
ReplyDeleteNancy
I bet roller skating on the wood floors would make it "age" pretty well. It could be a job one day :)
ReplyDeleteDiana,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're back...and if anything can bring a smile back to your face, it will be your little Sweet Cheeks! Hugs and Love to you. Still praying for you.
You're nicer than I am...I'd be going...outside! That's what I would say to my kids...but to granddaughter Betty...I would say...DO IT!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they probably do! I bought skates when my daughter was very into it as a young teen. I wore them once, outside and fell...hard. I scraped my hands (I even had wrist guards on) but mostly it rattled my brain at such a painful level that I scared myself. So much for that! Oh, to be young again!
ReplyDeleteI DO think they have roller derbies for the 'more mature'....but please remember your helmet! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThose girls are too cute. It looks like it is always fun at your house!!
XO
Wow, I never knew a little girl who didn't like to skate!... SweetCheeks will change her mind one day and love it!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteWow Diana they are pretty frisky little skaters....smile I could see how their Grandpa would have a heart attack if they were upstairs...lol
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Looks like fun.
ReplyDeletemerle.....
Ha..Don't hurt yourself !!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I used to have a really big garage and my girls and I would skate in there. It was a lot of fun to have our own skating rink! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteYOU are the COOLEST Nana ever!!!Looks like fun!Can I come over :-)
ReplyDeletexx
Anne
Oh my, what a trip! I would expect this from boys... LOL
ReplyDeletexo
Pat
Cute, cute! I'd love to ride the rink with you my friend. That one looks like she could be me. lol!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
those roller derby chicks look rather scary. I think we could take 'em. They got nothing on us old ladies right?!
ReplyDeletehi!
ReplyDeleteYour comment form wasn't taking my comments.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute post Diana!
In Wisconsin we do what we have to do to survive the long winters.
Addison rides her trike inside our house and it hasn't hurt a thing!
Hugs,
Cindy
What another FUN post! xo
ReplyDeleteI have skated and I know what she is thinking... !!!

I would have loved to have had a nana like you but I am glad the Lord blessed me with your friendship.I loved to roller skate but never had the pleasure to iceskate.
ReplyDeleteThose girls are just awesome and never will they forget their days at Nana's and Grandpa's. I bet Sweet Cheeks was so glad to have you home.
Hugging you and praying for you
I remember skating in our basement as a child! It was so much fun! Your place looks like a wonderful place to have fun! That Sweet Cheeks is a mess! Wow, they're growing up fast!
ReplyDeleteSo cute..and what a fun way to chronicle their journey...imagine one day when they can look back on this! You are doing something priceless for your darling grandchildren, Diana!
ReplyDeletewe built out house open in the basement and upstairs so the kids could do laps roller blading...
ReplyDeleteI have thought about you and your family so much during this time. I am so sorry about your brother. You have to feel the prayers coming your way...there are many...
