WEEK OF CUPS #2 CUP # 4/CALENDARS

         NATIONAL PARKS.....

SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

      I bought this cup almost 2 years ago in Tennessee.  I take each of my grand kids on a trip when they are around 12 years old. I give them a choice of 3 places, each including somewhere where family lives and somewhere I want to go.  Devin chose Indianapolis to see my family, then onto the Smoky Mountains.  I like this cup since the "title" reads from the left to the right.  Good for lefties.  It is just the right size for wrapping the hands around while sipping a hot beverage.

_______________________________________________________________

       Today was a quiet day for me.  I passed up water aerobics---tired out from the walk and stretches the day before.  Spent some time figuring out bills.

      SURPRISE IN THE MAIL:  UPS ANYWAY.  Not really a surprise but nice they came.  
                  The GEOLOU SCHMIDTS FAMILY HAPPENINGS CALENDAR........

 They were meant for Christmas, but Valentine's Day is a nice holiday, too.  They (family) will get them in time IF I get them sent out tomorrow.  

18 grand kid Valentines to send out.  Each child is my favorite.










   
      This has been a good "quiet" day in the life of Grandma G

     "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."  (John 14:27)
