The Little One Was A Bit Subdue Last Weekend... But! :)

I went to visit my Son and his family, as I often do, last Sunday. Alas, my youngest Granddaughter wasn't herself because she had quite a heavy cold and a sore throat. So, she quietly sat and played her computer games which she wanted me to watch, all the time. I mean... it's ok when you're involved in playing but watching her little workers building an amusement park and shops wasn't the most exciting thing I could have thought of doing. Nevertheless, I stayed and watched her for quite a while and gave her a bit of attention, which she obviously was in need of. The previous week though, when we came back from Buchan Park to the house, I noticed my elder granddaughter's guitar sitting on the floor against the dining room wall. Yes, you guessed it, the little one has comandeered it, in her love of music and wants to learn to play it properly now. She can strum it, and even get a basic tune out of it, but she is eager to better her playing. lol. It seems the crafts have gone by the by for a while, and we are concentrating on the arts. So, I took up my camera, and sat on the patio whilst she serenaded me and I took pictures. Meanwhile, the older one has discarded most of her former stuff and replaced it with make-up and a boyfriend... as they do when they're coming up sixteen. She's at that age now where she's not quite grown up, but thinks she is, but Mum and Dad are handling it well, and she's growing into a pleasant adult. Although it's turning a bit cold now and people are busying themselves with preparations for Winter, I'm kind of hoping that next Sunday will be a pleasant day, weatherwise, so that we can go out again. I'm sure Lauren's cold will be gone by then, as kids seem to fight off infection pretty quickly. Failing a fine day, I might just look up guitar lessons online, with her. It might be good to encourage her in pursuit of her music playing talents.
