Finding Monkey Rock!

 Lost Maples State Natural Area - Take 2!

October is also a great time to be outdoors. The weather is cooler than summer and it's not too cold. We took a hike to Lost Maples. The first time we hiked there we came to a point of interest called Monkey Rock. But we couldn't find the "monkey" or why it was a point of interest. Also, with limited cell service, it's not like we could just look it up. Then, later we realized that we just needed to look up! So, again we went back to see Monkey Rock.

Another favorite of ours is the Grotto. It's just beautiful!

This is a great place to see nature. We were also able to see some monarch butterflies before they made their way to Mexico. 


We had lots of fun in this great weather.

Reflecting on childhood dream of being a Ninja! LOL!

  Ninja, is what I want to be when I grow up! LOL!  "What do you want to be when you grow up Belle?" I had always wanted to be a Mom, but for some reason that wasn't an acceptable answer to the above question at school. It should of been. But that's another post.  So, since being a mom wasn't acceptable to teachers, I would always say a Ninja. For several years I had a black Ninja costume that I would wear for Halloween! Eventually the costume didn't fit right anymore! I would tell people as a child I wanted to be Ninja because I wanted to somehow fight for Justice, similar to a superhero and ninja legends are all I knew.  My memories of being a Ninja resurfaced as my granddaughter ends her year at  taekwondo. Great Job! on your Belt Test Olive!!!! My husband, Son and Daughter all took taekwondo lessons at some point in their lives! Wow, I can't believe my granddaughter enjoys taekwondo. Great Job!

  Mommy Got!  I went to the store and there were several signs out selling items for Mother's Day. So what do Mother's want for Mother's Day? Mommy Got! Is a song written by my granddaughter and one of the best Mother's Day gifts ever gifted to me! for Mother's Day!  Granddaughter Working on Song My granddaughter, Olive has a beautiful voice, but her mom (born deaf) is now tone deaf has a not-so-great singing voice to most. However, Olive loves the sound of her mom's voice. Olive heard that  one day everyone in Heaven will sing praises to the Lord. So, her mom's voice will surely add to the beautiful melody of the songs in Heaven, right?  But could her mom's voice add to the beauty of songs now?  After hearing   KB's Song 10K , Olive became inspired to write a song where she would incorporate singing with talking (rap) for her mom like KB. Olive, wrote a song she could sing with her mom!  together!  My Granddaughter was so excited she introduced th
