The
grandsons were pretending to run a café for us this evening, they kept coming
back to us for more orders. They apparently served chocolate wine and sleeping
iguanas, which we discovered were pina coladas.

What can I get you sir ?  and here is your sleeping iguana madam........ |
Oh I love those boys - I'm missing them like mad - I love the updates I'm getting
ReplyDeleteSomehow I can guess who this anonymous comment is from. They're having a good time SJ....and we're looking forward to seeing you. Jx
DeleteLovely! I'll never have a pina colada again, much prefer a sleeping iguana - so cute. As for chocolate wine - what a brilliant idea - hang on to that one, get it patented!! Axxx
ReplyDeleteAnnie...its hard work ! but they continue to be adorable. I'm concentrating on teaching 10 week old Izzie the words to a French folk song I learned 40 odd years ago, about children on the moon. So far, she just grins at me, do you think I'm expecting too much from her ?
DeleteIt is priceless what children come out with. I used to make little notes of the things they said in a notebook so that I would not forget.
ReplyDeleteYes Rosemary, thinking about my purpose in blogging, following your post yesterday, I have decided that some of the things I want preserved can be done so through these ponderings....and sleeping iguanas falls into the need to be preserved category.
DeleteIt's so nice when there are lil' kids....they are such a joy and very creative in their minds. Tiring...but lots of fun when they are around. .....cute lil' guys .:-)
ReplyDeleteYou said it.... I've never been so tired ! it is good though, and I keep thinking it will get easier when they are not all under 5.....except that next daughter may well start providing us with more babies by then. J
DeleteWe have 4 of the g'girls here tonight, Janice....they have made up a dance in the pool, made up a play, etc. Such creative minds...I'm so impressed/awed...and glad that I don't have to raise them! Grandparenthood...the best stage of life: they come; they go; and we don't have to pay for college!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are our models for grandparenthood....I tried explaining ice cream for breakfast to Jodie....she was sceptical to say the least. Jess of course remembers Arizona ice cream and banana bread as her favourite breakfast....dairy, fruit, what else could a girl need ! J.
DeleteHow precious is that? Sleeping iguanas. Pina coladas will never be quite the same, will they Janice, and I really must try chocolate wine. Love this post.
ReplyDeleteI dont seem to have time for proper thoughtful posts at the moment.....just a quick snapshot of the children and a comment...but sleeping iguanas really had to be reported upon. I too am now in search of chocolate wine. J.
DeleteYour post is such a joy! Sleeping iguanas sound just about perfect! Les Petites ils sont adorables!
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, I'm just wondering if I'll ever have time to sit and blog thoughtfully again. Must dash....to catch some more pearls of wisdom.J
DeleteSleeping iguanas is going into use here...that's priceless.
ReplyDeleteI hope one day they get the chance to see real sleeping iguanas...and to see them perched on the branch of a tree spreading their 'sails' to warm themselves up to start the day.
There is one that comes regularly to a tree nearby...infuriatingly just out of focus for a good photograph....and I always feel privileged to see him.
Well, I look forward to the photo if you ever manage it, our little boys would love it. They are completely fascinated by lizards at the moment, so you can imagine what they'd do if they saw a sleeping iguana. J
DeleteI found two photographs...the iguana is in the tree but the sail is not up.
DeleteHow do I send them to you?
Thanks Fly.....email address is janwhud@aol.com The children will love it. J.
DeleteIguanas sent. Not a good pic, i'm afraid.
DeleteThey're brilliant photos, thanks so much. They enlarge beautifully and the boys are very impressed. J.
DeleteJanice, that is SO sweet! I shall never look at a pina colada in the same way again. :-) As for chocolate wine, I love both but had never thought of combining them. :-) About tho have a grandson invasion here, so sympathise with the lack of time for thought and posting.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the coming invasion Perpetua. I have spent ages preparing for ours to arrive....and am amazed at the havoc that has been caused in such a short space of time. However, they are having a great time, helped by the stunningly gorgeous weather. Fly has sent me iguana pics, the boys love them. J
