Playhouse

Last weekend I kept myself busy by turning my garage into a playhouse for my nieces. Miss Addie's sister Karissa is joining us for the summer! so I white washed the walls and painted their names on door panels and did a chalkboard on the walls...the other side of the garage is auntie's harvest table and chairs to sit and blog on her laptop while they play...they love it! We added a screen door for those hot summer days...I wonder if it will be as cool a summer as our spring has been? These two little girls have been keeping me busy these last few days, which is just what I need! I am so blessed to have them in my life....

THank You!

I want to thank everyone for their kind supportive comments that you have left on my blog...It is such a good feeling to know that so many friends are out there in bloggerville thinking and praying for me and my family! I can't tell you how much your comments have comforted me....You are the best! These pictures were taken of my Mom and I in 1961 and present...I was the youngest of six but she always made me feel like I was her favorite! and my other brothers and sisters will say the same about themselves! now that is a great Mom! Have a great weekend...Mother's day is Sunday,If your Mother is still with you give her a big hug! Thanks again for your thoughtfulness!

A sad time.....

My Mom unexpectedly passed on....

Grandma sweetheart update....

looky looky

Looky what I bought...I have been dreaming of a laptop for about a year...and finally got my pennies together and bought one...I love it! I am on the go so much with Addi...I will be able to blog from her house and the playground! and it will be really handy when my Mom is going through surgery and rehab. On my way to my Mom's on Thurs. I saw a garage sale sign! the first one this season...yay! I had to stop, and boy am I glad I did. I found this sweet side chair for 25.00! It is old and had just been recovered in a black linen fabric! I stuck it in my dinning room in the corner by my mantel for now...very comfy! I looks ok with my black harvest table and bench but it is a little crowed in there,I might have to move to the spare room...Enjoy your weekend!

Grandma Sweetheart

This picture was taken of my Mom (88) last June at our cabin on the lake...My great niece Emma affectionately named her grandma sweetheart! the name fits...See the watch on her wrist? It was my Dad's...he passed last year...I think that is so cute.I look at this picture and I hope we will be able to bring her to the lake again this summer. Mom will be going into surgery on Monday for bypass on her leg...I hope and pray everything goes well and that she weathers yet another challenge. She has been through so much ...She will be hospitalized for a week and then she will go to a rehab unit in her as sited living. I spent the day with her today, she is worried..so am I. I love you Mom...
