You Are My Sunshine

Nothing prim tonight my dear friends.  I just have to share with you a few pictures of Darbee Rae.  This child has been the sunshine in my days these last few weeks.  Not that she hasn't always, but it seems that she can sense something is going on and has been so loving lately.  She has made me laugh thru my tears. 

On Saturday she came for awhile and why I don't know but since a wee little tot she has always loved getting on Nana's bed and playing with my braclets.  This day was no exception. 
She puts them all the way up her arm.  She has done this forever.  Then I have to wear them all, and then her Mommy.  Sometime she even get PaPa in on the fun.  But Papa don't like to play braclets.  Darbee Rae just can't figure out why not!
Can you see why I can still  find something to smile about?  Who needs expensive toys?  Let's just go to Nana's house and play in her cheap-o braclets.
I was getting ready to go sit with Mother and was putting on my make-up.  Being the girly girl she is, she had to have make-up to.  At least she picked out the right color eye shadow.  Now Papa don't wear braclets but he held the mirror so she could get it just right. (ha)
Okay Darbee Rae, Nana thinks that is enough.  Don't ya think?  What will your Mommy think?
Isn't she just to beautiful?  That purple eye shadow and a chocolate pudding mouth?  Don't it make you smile?   She worked so hard to get it just right.  And in my book,,,, (giggle) beautiful she is.  Looked better after she got her mouth washed and then got her lipstick on of course.

 .  All you  Grandmothers, Nanas, MeMaw, Grannys, or whatever your grandchildren may call you, .,,, you share my feelings right?   It's so easy to smile when we see the world thru the eyes of a child.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hoping you all find something to make you smile today.  Until next time......

  1. Those pictures brought a smile to my face. Couldn't make up my mind whether the bracelets or the eye shadow was my fav! She is a delight I can tell. I have a four year old great grandson, Andrew, who lights up my life. Darbee Rae has done a good job helping lately!
    you are blessed

  4. Darbee is just adorable...and yes looking through the eyes of child can do more healing and spirit lifting than anything. I truly love all 8 of ours...they range from 14 down to our little preemie...Karter..he is about 6 weeks but was born 3 months early. They are so precious.

  5. It just keeps getting better, let me tell you.
    Mallory is 16, Mya is 5, Chloe-10, Tristen-7, Tabby-19, Tammie-15, and Amber 21. You couldn't ask for a sweeter group of girls. I know Ruby Joy will just as sweet. Then there are the boys. Mark is 17, Cole is 12, Miles is 10 and Carter is 9. They are just as sweet as the girls. I love that my children have provided me with these sweet distractions. They can be amusing and they can be sweet and they do seem to sense when we need them to be extra loving. You know my favorite part? Rocking them to sleep, holding them close, feeling them breath, knowing they feel safe and secure....
    I love being a Grandma......

  10. How sweet! My grandmother used to sell Avon so many many years ago. She always had the little sample lipsticks that I thought were so cute. I would go in her bathroom everytime I was at her house, lock the door and sneak on her lipstick. It always seemed that the colors were bright red, orange or hot pink. I came out to the family thinking no one would notice. Thanks for the reminder this morning of sweet grandmothers and sweet memories,

  11. How right you are! I have lots of names from these little ones - Grandma, Grandma Peanut, Bebe, Gigi and Grandma Dawn. Gets a little confusing sometimes, but I love them all! Keep smiling, Dawn

  13. I know exactly what you are saying. I have 4 and one on the way. We are actually spending the whole day together on Friday with my Mom. I don't normally get them all together by myself but I think it will be a fun day. Your little Grand is a living doll! She makes me smile too.
