The Good Stuff

Ten Classic Sesame Street Songs to Take You Back to the 1970s - Sesame Workshop

Late one night I was casually looking back at some ancient posts, when I came upon a couple of old school Sesame Street videos that Baby Chomp used to watch.  One video led to another and another and before I knew it I had a whole playlist made on YouTube called Sesame Street–the Good Stuff. I was surprised at how much fun it was to see good old Bert and Ernie again. Like some dear, sweet friends had come by for lunch.

Before the night was over, I kinda, sorta ended up clicking a button that I seriously didn’t mean to click. It was so implusive, that I forgot I had even done it.

Until…

this showed up.

Oh, dear. What did I do?!

This is what I did and I’m not a bit sorry, after all. In fact, I think I’m going to love it.

What I meant to say was, “It’s totally for the grandkids. Really.”

Wanna come over?

Heh, heh.

How On EARTH?!

Honestly, wasn’t this just yesterday?!

Somehow, while we weren’t looking…

we got here.

So incredibly proud of these two sweet, smart, wonderful kids.

It all goes by so crazy fast.

But the love has always been the same, from there to here.

With all my heart and with all the next big, beautiful steps…

Beckham and Lily…

I love you.

Grammy

 

Love, Fluttershy

If you ever have a sweet little soul bring you a teeney tiny leaf in the shape of a heart…

and that sweet little soul says, “See Grammy, I love you with my whole heart…”

your whole heart might just grow three sizes that day.

In fact, I’ll bet on it.

This Cute Soccer Guy

 

Oh, this awesome guy. He is so good at this beloved game.

This kid ‘s been able to do something that he loves with passion and intensity for most of his life.

All the work, all the practice, all the long hours, all the practice, all the injuries, all the practice, all the recovery time, all the practice—

has helped make him the awesome guy that he is today–on the field and off.

And even though this is the view I usually get–(my poor Grammy eyes!) and  I often have to be told what’s actually happening moment by moment…

still…

I do know incredible when I see it.

along with everybody else.

 

 

Hope of America 2026

I don’t even know how many times our family has seen “Hope of America” but it doesn’t matter. We love it. This cute fellow…

and his sweet cousin Hazel were in it this year!

We got the video version on a live stream. My sister and I watched it from the comfort of our own couches!

Have mercy–that is a lot of stairs for us older folks!

L was right down there on the floor…

so his family got some really great pictures of him…

right up close!

He was even on the Jumbotron!! This is my favorite COOL shot of him.

Go L!! Go Hazel!! It was a wonderful night watching both of you! You did a great job!!

We love you both so much!!

USA! USA! USA!

 

PS- this is not a video of their group but it is a sample of one of the songs they sang. It’s all just beautiful!!
