Beading with Granma Marcie



I think Granma would sit in front of the T.V. all day long.  I don't like that. I didn't let Becky sit in front of the T.V. all day long when she was growing up.....in fact I think I limited the amount of T.V. she watched.  I know I monitored what she watched.  So I'm thinking....to sit in front of the T.V. all day long...... for anyone, no matter how old they are......or young......isn't a good thing.  I know for a fact it isn't a good thing!

When she first came to us, I would read to her at meal times.  One day I asked her if she would like me to read to her, and she said "NO"  So now I only read a short devotion.  Lately,  I've been leaving the devotional on the table and after she eats her breakfast, she sits there and reads it for an hour sometimes an hour and a half.  That amazes me and I am grateful.  But then what?  More T.V.?

So I got the beads out and we started to make a necklace. She picked  a bead and I would thread it onto the string. I'm not sure if she liked that little activity.   If I had to guess.......I'd guess "Nope, she didn't like it"  But bless her heart.......she did it anyway.
