| We were SO privileged to have my dear Grandma Bryan, age 104, come and stay with us last week! |
We SO enjoyed our "History lessons" the kids and I all sat around the table asking Grandma questions of what it was like when she was growing up! It all started with the ICE BOX that you can see in the background. They wanted to know if she ever had one... she answered, "NO, we couldn't afford one!" My, how many are the blessings that we have to count today!
Brittany is sharing a violin song with Grandma entitled "Our Eternal Home" all songs about heaven. Oh let's ALL plan to meet there. "Will the circle be unbroken?" My daily prayer is that God will woo the straying ones and keep us all on the "Highway of Holiness!"
It was fun having Grandma sit on our front porch and introducing her to all of our neighbors! Again, I forgot to get that picture!
When Gram and Gramp come, they always bring treats, like this yummy cereal!!!(and Yes, our son admitted that he thought He was SPOILED!!!)
and who says that my kids can't handle the sugar?! I don't see any "extra" side effects, do you?
Bryan's 1st art project (more from our School Haus to come later)... and of course he just had to share it with Grandma Bryan too!
We love you and MISS having you with us still, Grandma! Thank you for your Godly example to our family, for your prayers and love gifts to missionaries for years and years! Thank you for being brave enough to make the trip at your age. Thank you too for braving all of our stairs, morning and night! You are so special to us and we are SO glad that Jesus kept you safe! Thanks for obeying the "rules" too! =) I told her that she only had ONE RULE that she HAD to obey while she was at our Haus... and that was "NO FALLING!" Jesus helped her as we PRAYED lots and wouldn't let her hardly move, poor thing, without at least 2 of us around to "cushion" her, should she start to fall! Grandma, I hope, that if Jesus tarries and I live to be your age, that I'll be as gracious as you are! We Love you!
Thanks for stopping by our Haus! Come again, soon!

Very special post! Thank you for keeping Grandma so that Daddy and Moma could go and visit GG. =) She's such a special lady, and I know that she LOVED her visit at y'all's fun house!
Loved the pic of y'all's front porch...made me want to come and sit for a chat. =)
Thanks for posting this neat post!
Love and miss y'all,

Forgot to say that I think I might have noticed a difference in the 2 pics of your kids with the cereal...maybe the sugar IS affecting them. Hee! Hee! ;)
~Love y'all, Heather~
Beautiful post! Thank you! I've been enjoying your posts.

Nice post and thank you all for being willing to give of yourself and time to Grandma so that we could go visit Grandmother Scarbrough. You made lots of us "glad" and your name is not even Pollyanna!:-) She has given glowing reports to her care giver of her visit at you "Haus." I enjoyed the post and will bring Grandma down tomorrow and let her see what you told the world about her! Love, Moma
PS The kids are soooooo welcome to the treats and it is wonderful being able to live close enough to spoil them (glad that we are not around when that sugar kicks in) just wish that that we could live close enough to about 13 other special kids to do the same. Well ~ it was nice that we could bring Katie (now a GBS student) some treats in a basket decorated for fall. . . so, I guess it is now just 12 that we need to move within two hours reach. But do you think that Grant would be willing to leave that "bear country" for a big city . . . NOT!
What a blessing to have Grandma Bryan in your home. She is one of the sweetest ladies I know. It's hard to believe anyone can live that long. Hope we can go see the Bryans in the near future. Enjoyed the post. love and prayers..
I so enjoyed this post of Grandma Bryan. She is a quiet, elegant lady. I wish we had many more women of her caliber but she is nearly one of a kind. And bless dear Martha for taking care of her mother-in-law so kindly.
Thank you for these glimpses into your beautiful life.
Love,
Mom D
