I was given some wonderful advice by a wise woman whom I love this week. Not sure how this one slipped my mind. In the midst of life...I forgot this gem. My sister Barb gently offered this advice..
"You might think about taking your kids on dates."
Being a wiser woman myself these days, I listened. In the past I wasn't so good at this, listening to sisterly advice. But I got smart. The picture above says it all!! Love that!!
Nonni and I went off to our favorite bakery and coffee house. Hot cocoa for her a serious latte for me. We sat and chatted and watched the folks walk by. We drank our treats and giggled...alot!
We went walking when we were done and Nonni met Meeko. She has a way with critters..they just love her. Look at his chin on her chest and the look in his amazing eyes. She loves them and they know it. (More pictures of the amazing Meeko soon.)
If you were wondering who Nonni looks like in the family...guess who this darling girl is?? Yup that same wise woman I love...Barb.
Stay tuned for my date with Fox. Have a great Sunday all! Namaste, Sarah

LOL! OMG, that's so funny. She seriously is a brunette version of me! And the braids... I don't think I've ever seen that picture of me. My angel costume, I remember it well. Thanks for the giggle! And so glad the 'date' worked out so well. :p)xoxoxo
I know I am repeating myself, but I just love your pictures. So lively!
Sarah:
Pure sweetness. I love, love, love that one of Nonni skipping. Remember those carefree days?
I love that you took her on a date. That is like the sweetest gesture. My daughter and I have a date every Sunday. We are all geared up to spend time ALONE watching her fav shows "Bridezilla" "Cake Wars" "Drop Dead Diva" and finally "Army Wives."
I feel so connected to her when we do this.
*Warm Hugs 2 You*
Yep ... and they never get old to have a date! We took our goddaughter (22 now -- yikes) to the zoo with us when we had our behind the scenes tour. She loved every minute. Looking forward to seeing part of your date with Fox.
I use to love having dates with my kids. Then they got older and had "plans" with their "friends". Maybe I could start this with the grand kids? hmm... Nonni looks so happy just skipping along.

A date?! I love dates. And apparently this wee one of yours did, too!
Thank you. I needed this today. Thank both of you.
That is awesome. I lost my mom when I was 7... wish I had a few "dates" to remember with her. :)
Oh these are wonderful times, and it is brilliant that you go on dates! It is something that Nonni will always remember and thank you for. Your pictures as always tell the story so well! Fantastic pictures, my favourite was Nonni skippng away!
Adorable!
Great set of pictures Sarah.
They just shout 'fun'.
A very happy child, as it should be. And an appreciative dog. Good stuff. ~rick

A great piece of advice from your sister! We did that and continue to take our adult kids out on occasion! It's a great way to stay connected!

Oh, you will both remember these times forever and when she has children it will influence her as well. How wonderful.
What a great date! I love her skipping down the sidewalk.
