Spring Sunrise of Cloud Trails: LadyD Books

Skywatch Friday

Kind of funny going into Mother's Day weekend, looking up... only to see Mother Goose in the sky! Maybe call this blog post, Mother Goose in is the cloud!

Mom and Me

Here I am with my mother when I was about 3 years old. Love you mom! I'll see you again...

Currently, LadyD Books is reading a signed copy of Grand-Loving (Making Memories with Your Grandchildren) by Sue Johnson.

The Friday 56

"Can your faraway little one remember the layout of your house? Try this fun homemade flannel-board puzzle."

It's a "Houzzle"?

It's not only a challenging game but also a unique way to remember experiences they've had with you at your home.

Ages: Three to eight years

You'll Need to Send

A layout of your house that you draw on interfacing material and cut into rooms.

Here's How

Draw the floor plan of your home on the interfacing.
Cut each room out and send it in an envelope for your grandchild to reassemble.
You can also send pretend furniture made from flannel or remnant interfacing so your "interior designer" can play "Grandma and Grandpa's house."
While challenging your grandchild's memory, you'll also be refreshing her memories of visits to your home.

Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies!

“You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me." C. S. Lewis

Scattered clouds over beautiful mountain range: LadyD Books

Large cloud formation over the mountains: LadyD Books

Spring has arrived in full bloom, bringing some interesting weather to our parts of North County. With strong, warm winds and hot temperatures in the 90's, we've seen some amazing sunrises and cloud formations. Photos for Skywatch Friday How is it where you are?

Hana Highway

I have been on Maui's winding and water fall-filled Hana Highway. It is so well worth the drive to see the lush side of the island! I miss this beautiful place but I am always playing Hawaiian music in my home. The Plumeria blooms are delightful to see, as well as swimming with the turtles! I own this book and yes, we took it with us to experience the author's suggested research.

The Friday 56

"Like the highway past Hana along the bottom of Haleaka, the drive along the top of West Maui suffers from a long out-of-date reputation."

-- Andrew Doughty & Harriett Friedman

About The Book

"Maui is the undisputed playground of Hawaii. No other island has the range of activities and scenery available to you here. There's almost nothing you can't do on Maui. Hike in pristine rain forests, snorkel in an extinct crater, coast a bicycle 10,000 feet down a volcano, walk along miles of beaches, frolic under a waterfall, dive into a natural freshwater pool, lie on a black or even red sand beach, or sip a drink as the sun sets over nearby islands. Whatever fantasy you have, Maui is bound to deliver."

Good news! I am thrilled to announce that LadyD Books won the April 100+ Book Challenge. A warm thank you to Freda @ http://fredasvoice.blogspot.com I am the proud owner of Five Little Monkeys (ebook)! My grandkids are sure to go bananas over this one!
