Great update- wonderful progress - 🎉😊

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@christinabarcelos6951]

I also help with my grandchildren and try so hard to keep them from getting hurt but sometimes it happens. We can only try our best. I take my little one to story time at the Dartmouth library with Ms. Christie. My little one likes it. She is 2 1/2.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Nice!

[@NanaGigi2025]

Would of been laughing uncontrollably when she did that. Accidents happen it always hurts my heart when it does n takes me forever to get over it. So happy for you on the build. Have an amazing weekend.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

thank you, you as well!

[@cchandonait]

Yay! Congratulations

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thanks Chris.

Poor Squish, thankfully little ones are pretty resilient and she’ll be back to herself in no time. Love her clear communication in the library! 💖👍 So exciting seeing preparations for digging! Yay for progress. 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@BetsAnderson]

You are a good ouma. I'm excited for you. May everything go well.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thank you so much

HI OMA! I love the way you described Squish telling you, “Go! Go! 🫵🏼👶🏻loved that! I hope her precious face is ok. Things are moving right along outside! Before you know it, you’ll be in your new home! Love from Joany in Weekapaug, RI, and the ocean is gorgeous today. Beautiful Indian Summer day.☀️🐚

[@christinabarcelos6951]

Yeah! So happy for you that your project is finally getting started.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Yes! Thank you!

So happy to see progress Margaret 🙌🙌 Spring here in Australia 🌝🌺💐

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Wonderful!

[@CarrieCollins-tq6vs]

I am so excited for you Margaret! 🍁🧡

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thank you so much!

[@karlaharvey2623]

Yay! The day you’ve been anxiously awaiting for! Once they get started, hopefully it won’t take as long as they said for you to be in your new Home. Oh, how I know how horrible and hurtful it is for us Ohma’s ( I’m a Mimi) when our precious grandchild gets hurt. But, like you said, it happens so fast. We can blink and they’ve hurt themselves. Regardless, it breaks our hearts for them. But they get thru it and it makes me stronger. We hope and pray anyways. Miss your project videos which I know it’s hard to have projects under the circumstances, but you will have plenty once your house starts going up 🤷🏼‍♀️.

[@bernicearaujo3922]

Margaret, I am so excited for you! I can’t wait to see how the project progresses. Squish’s GO sign at the library had me laughing! Thanks for the video. ❤️

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Wonderful!

Theres my favorite friend!!! 😁 Poor squish! Little ones are resilient. When I was around 2 I split my eye at the brow, open. Had to get stitches. After the fact focus goes elsewhere. I adore how she was able to communicate with you in your special way to go, lol. That is a story for the books! Definitely log it for the future. My day was eventful. I filled for divorce today. Here in Texas, there's a 60 day waiting period so it can be final November 8th. We've been separated for 5yrs next week. It's time. Our weather is cooling down too & I am sooooo grateful for it! It's like getting reenergized. I love it! Give extra love to the little one and let her know it's from your friends in the phone, lol.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

I am glad you are moving forward. Doesn’t matter how long or how needed, there is always a pinch of sad. Thank you for sharing. I love hearing from you.

[@labnurse1]

So happy to see things are moving along!! Happy dance. Not to worry about Squish, she'll be fine.❤❤

[@annedugan-odonnell3134]

Great news for you not so great news for Squish hope her little face is ok. So scary how fast things can happen.

[@Karengwills]

Poor Squish! Yippee, Happy to know the digging is beginning.

[@tamt5846]

All of the previous comments said what I was going to say. Poor Squish! Love the sign language in the library, and I’m so excited for you that progress is starting! Thank you for the update! 💕

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

[@dloveofgod8269]

Hello Margaret!! I'm so happy for you guys that work is being done!! Yay! So sorry for little Squish hitting her nose, little face .💙 Hopefully she heals quickly & gets past it. Hugs for Squish 🤗🤗.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Thank you!

[@stephaniecossette7491]

Those little accidents happen in the blink of an eye, but take us grammas forever to forget. So exciting to see the work that is commencing outside. Finally, Margaret, finally!!! You look away for a minute and your new home is going to be there.

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Would ‘t that be great!

[@hildatyburczy8221]

@@MargaretbeingMargaretkeeping my fingers and toes crossed it won’t take too long and you can get settled in your little house/apartment! BTW, I love your top, I love print tops and especially blue ones because it’s my very favorite color! Do you mind telling me where you bought it?

Funny story for sure concerning Squish but you are so right about how bad it makes of feel! First of many!! Glad to see the progress outside! And I too love that top! Have a great week!❤

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

thank you.

[@judyblakely7450]

I laughed out loud hearing about Squish’s “Go” story! So happy to see the progress around your place! Exciting‼️😘

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Squish had her bump on the noggin pretty much all toddlers have and you know, Margaret, that is life. I am SO excited for you that work in the back is finally getting going!!😊

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

So true!

[@hazzledazzle1952]

I loved the Squish library story Not the face bump obviously Aren't they treasures and gifts of joy Glad things are on the move at last Take care and enjoy every Squish moment 😊

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

thank you so much!

[@debnickel1098]

Finally!! It's SO exciting!!! 😄

[@kathyjrat]

Poor Squish. Happens so fast. Progress is happening. Exciting.

[@therealnancycarol]

Ah, yes. It sounds like a fun time for Oma and Squish. Minus the bashed in face accident, which has hopefully been forgotten and you've moved on. I grew up with black eyes and scraped knees throughout my childhood and could have plenty more now if not for being extra cautious and moving slowly with deliberation. Nothing like a few scrapes and scars to signify growing up. It sounds like you two are enjoying life to the fullest, Margaret. Nothing more fun than banging on pots and pans with shrill little screams of delight tangling in the air, is there? I'm happy for you and your enjoyment! There's nothing happening here other than me anticipating any kind of cool down no matter how brief or slight. Summer is not fun for me and sweating is appalling, to say the least. I prefer to spend the rest of my life in sweats and jeans with brief moments of shivering. It's been so long since a good shiver entered my old bones! I miss them. I've crocheted up several blankets that are thick and warm, with added length for covering the head without exposing the feet. I can't wait to use them! When living for the moment means sitting on the couch naked with the blinds closed, air conditioner blasting, drinking coffee and hoping no one comes before you manage to get it together and decide if capris will be okay even if your legs could use a razors kiss. My alabaster skin hasn't seen sunlight in 40 years and I'm certain my Vitamin D level doesn't exist. My Aunt told me when my vitamine d arrives, take the whole bottle! Lol. It's in the kitchen, on the counter so I remember to take it, but I'm used to it being there for so long I don't even see it anymore. I did take some a couple of times. I'm not much for taking pills, medicine, etc. I feel better than I ever have, so why push it? Have a wonderful day with your little Squish. Don't forget to pet the cats now and then. Peace and happiness to you! 💕💕💕

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Great post. I feel the same about the weather. I don’t take vitamins either. My body is going what it is meant to do, and I also feel good. Have a great week.

[@therealnancycarol]

Love progress! Even the noise to get the progress. Soon. Breathe.... Keep us posted on Squish and her booboo. Maybe put a bandaid on her nose AND your nose ! 😅

[@martharogers2799]

Sqush knows when it’s time to make her exit 😂

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

And pretty graciously too! LOL

[@hildatyburczy8221]

Great story about the little one and the library but not so great about how she bumped her face! 😫 I have a million stories about my kids and their kids little accidents….

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

It’s unbelievable!

[@elizabethclark8374]

Hi Margaret, I LOVE your shirt/top today! It is VERY becoming on you!! How did “Squish” get her nickname? Elizabeth in Texas

[@MargaretbeingMargaret]

Her Daddy randomly calls her that now and then. 🤷‍♀️
