Angel Food

Somehow I have gotten out of the habit of blogging every night. One thing that used to keep me motivated to blog was knowing that Grandma was able to see Madeline's adventures from Indiana. Yet, since David's mom's stroke, circumstances prevent her from accessing one of her favorite hobbies, the computer. At this point, I am not quite sure who is following Mama-Dirtyfoot anymore although my sister, Marysia, from Maryland asked me, "Why don't you blog anymore"? Honestly, I didn't have a good answer. Maybe it's writer's block...who knows. Whatever the case may be, I was determined to blog about something today. So, here goes...

Our little Madeline is just too darn sweet! Yes, there are some days that I want to sell her cheap. She is as stubborn as they come and can, at times, run me through the ringer. However, the majority of the time she is a sweet, caring, thoughtful little girl. The other day, I asked Madeline to feed the cats. Madeline carefully poured some kitty food into each of their bowls and sat on the couch with me. After a few moments, Madeline returned to the cat food bin and started digging in there again. This time Madeline returned to the family room with a small play pail that had about an inch or so of food scooped into it. Madeline wanted to show me that the food in the pail was for Packard (our kitty that went to Kitty Heaven in December). Madeline told me, "This [the food] is for Packard so Packard can feel better and come home". How can that not melt your heart?

Hey, you're not doing too badly on the post frequency. And it's quality, not quantity that you want.

Plus, I read your blog. That should be enough.

Marysia said...

Aww, what a sweet post. Didn't that make you tear up?

Amy said...

It didn't make me tear up but it did give me that achy feeling in my heart.

I always love to read your blogs, even if they are not as frequent as they had been. It keeps me updated on Maddie, you and David.

I love your posts too, Amy! I have decided that I will post in my blog when I have time and feel like I have something to say or a picture to show. I wouldn't worry about the frequency, though I certainly don't get tired of reading about sweet Madeline and your family!
