The Girls Celebrate..

I can't believe how quickly the granddaughters have grown. They started school over a week ago and turned five this past Monday. The babies are growning up quickly! The other day I was shopping at the thrift store and found a vintage Twister game. I thought I would introduce the girls to a game that was not hooked to the TV. We will be trying it out this weekend-I can't wait to see them (and their parents) playing this game on the front lawn!!! I like introducing the kids to the old school things that we use to do when I was growning up, twister, croquet, running through the sprinker, chalk sidewalk drawing,and sidewalk hopscotch with just the right marker piece. I think sometimes we need to get the kids outdoors and enjoy the simpler things in life. My weekend is starting to shape up to BUSY-tomorrow morning (before it gets to hot) I want to fill in a dirt patch off the patio with sand and pavers-the dust is terrible in the dinning room with all of it blowing around. I need to finish patinting the doors on the hoosier cabinet, and reorganizing all the seasonal dishes and put them away. I also want to recover a couple of the family antique chairs with a quilt that is falling apart, but will look great on the chair seats. The antique breakfast table and chairs are what is in my creative place (room) and the colors will go well, pink, blue and green with all the white furniture. On Sunday is the annual garage sale at the stamp store, so I will be sure to be there (like I need anything else!). That's about it for me, I will be back soon to upload some pictures of projects I am working on. Have a great day--

It Appears That...

I wasn't real good at keeping up with my blog, I am going to try harder and even get some pictures posted on here. So many things I have been trying to do and accomplish over the last months. I am trying to slow my responsibilities and my life down just a little to take the time, and breathe. Hopefully, over the next few days I will be able to post pictures of things that I have been doing, and also some of the projects I have accomplished. Stay tuned....
