We were planning on going to Portland to visit Son1's family in a couple of weeks. Instead, he and Pip are coming here for a quick visit, so he can also see my mother and sister. DIL, Mama K, is covered up with work right now and can't come here. I hope while they are gone she can catch up on her work load plus have a little time to include some self pampering.
I have added incentive now to get Pip's room here finished. It has been tragically languishing and need to be transformed and turned into a girly room. (Since I only had sons I never had anything even remotely prissy in the house)
When we were at the lake place this weekend, we went to a resale shop in the nearby town and found a cute addition for Pip's room and only spent a whopping 25 bucks for it.
Also over the weekend, we hit Dollar General (the lake place equivalent of a small scale Walmart) and found a 6 dollar hot pink dress with glitter embellishments, perfect for a princess. It will be something Pip can use for "dress up" play while she is here and take with her when she leaves.
Mom stayed with us at the lake place over the weekend and for the most part things went well.
Tomatoes are being harvested now and nothing is more delicious to me than vine ripe tomatoes.
My house is a wreck, but I have some time this week to change that. Hope my resolve kicks in!
Hope everyone had a great week filled with wonderful things. Look for them, I promise they are there!
How fun it must be to look for girly things and decorate for Pip. I know you must excited about their visit.
ReplyDeleteRipe tomatoes are not here yet. Actually we've had a few grape tomatoes, but not the big ones yet.
I am very excited!
ReplyDeleteThe big fat juicy tomatoes are here now, and I am a happy clam!
Vine ripened home grown tomatoes are bliss. I scoff them like the fruit they are.
ReplyDeleteHave fun letting your girly side loose - and enjoy your time with Pip.
She will be here in a couple of weeks and I plan on having a ball.
DeleteHaving vine ripened maters this early in the season is almost enticement enough for me to live in the Deep South....note I said "almost". hehehe
ReplyDeleteYep, there are upsides but the heat, humidity, and giant bugs are a whole other discussion.
DeleteGrand kids are the best, especially little girls!
ReplyDeleteIf I had known how much fund grandchildren were I would have had them first!
Deleteevery little girl needs a princess dress!
ReplyDeleteShe has several at her house, and now she has one at mine!
DeleteGreat find on that bench! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I thought it was very cute.
DeleteOh, how fun to fix up a girl's room after only boys for so long! Are you going to do anything to the bench or leave it 'as is'?
ReplyDeleteI have tomatoes on my plants but they aren't ripe yet, I can't wait!

For the moment I am going to leave the bench as is, but . . .
DeleteOne thing about dirt, it's always still there whenever you get to it so no rush! Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteI just hope I get to it before it starts growing things
DeleteTomatoes already? How wonderful! None ready around here yet but i sure do look forward to them. Getting a little girl's room ready for a visit must be so much fun. I just had the one daughter and she loved dressup clothes so much! And accessories like costume jewelry and a WAND!!
ReplyDeleteI found a little jewelry box and I am going to fill it with "jewels" and I may or may not make a wand. Ok I know I will make one.
DeleteHow lovely to have your granddaughter visit you! Cute bench! You'll have to get the Princess and the Frog story to go with the bench and the princess dress! Glad you got called pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for her to be here. I am the grandmother who lives in the box (Facetime)
