Great Grandma

Penny and Teddy are so lucky to have 2 great grandma’s.  In July, we were able to visit with Granny in Atlanta, and now that we are in Connecticut we are able to visit with Great Grandma Buczek.  She is amazing!  At 96, still living alone!!

She lives on some beautiful wooded land that is always full of things to see.  What do they see?

Another fun find, a wooly caterpillar.  Grams taught Penny how to read the wooly’s stripes to predict the upcoming winter, something that Grams’ dad taught her as a little girl.

Grams said, looks like it will be strong weather at the beginning and end of winter, with a mild middle.  We will see!!

 

The Big E

On Tuesday, while poor Pa Tom had to work, we took advantage of the beautiful day and went to the Big E.  We had an amazing time, so much fun!
