ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is Gorgeous Grandma Day, which celebrates those women in their 50’s and older that get the most out of their lives. The ones who cherish themselves as much as their family and most important still have a love for life.
It is a day to honor the grandmothers in our lives. Every one thinks their grandma is gorgeous, so what could be better than an entire day devoted to acknowledging the fact.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
It’s such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that’s why the world calls her a grandmother.

Since I’m a grand’ma’ I will be definitely be celebrating today. I had some wonderful grandmothers that were great role models for me, and I’m very thankful to have had both of them in my life.
I love my grandchildren and love being their grand’ma’. My children and grandchildren make my days brighter and motivate me to do more too. I can’t imagine a life without any one of them. I see the ones that live close by more often, but all of them are in my thoughts and prayers always.
It’s Taco Tuesday again and I’m pretty sure that all of the grands enjoy tacos, so I found another Taco recipe to share today. Traditional taco’s this time.
Ground Beef Tacos
2 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 can tomato sauce, 8 oz.
12 crunchy taco shells
2 c. shredded lettuce
2 tomatoes chopped
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 c. chunky salsa
3/4 c. sour cream, if desired
Brown ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain.
Stir in chili power, salt garlic powder and tomato sauce. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile place taco shells on a cookie sheet and heat at 250 degrees for 5 minutes.
Assemble tacos , layer beef mixture, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes in each taco shell. Serve with salsa, top with sour cream.
I hope you all have TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Being a grandmother is one of life's greatest blessings. Happy Geogous Grandma Day!
Hope to be a Grandma one day! If not, then I will grandmother the world! 🌎 😃
You are a gorgeous Grandma and I know you are a fantastically wonderful Grandma! I loved the pictures of you and your grandchildren! I'm going to see the wee one today so I'll celebrate this day with him (though he won't know its a special day, but I will!)

Ditto what Betty just said! I won't see my girls until Friday, and I doubt either thinks I'm gorgeous … so that'll be just between us. OK? OK!
I loved being a grandma. Sadly that all changed when I had to become a mother to two of them. I never felt like that glorious grandma again. I only had one grandma when I was growing up and she was a nasty old woman. I feel I missed out on so much.
Being grandma/grammy is the most wonderful thing ever. Being a child with my gr-children is crazy. I get to play like they play.
Hoist a diet coke to all grandmas!
