Downy had sent me one of their latest products, Downy Unstopables.

We have a lot of dirty towels...and sometimes they are in the basket a little too long...you know what I am talking about! Stinky towel syndrome. Well, if you add a few Unstopables to your towels they come out smelling fabulous! AND will still be fabulous and fresh when you use them! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have washed a lot of our blankets before packing them for the move. Now when I pull them out at the new house they will smell fantastic! My mom and I just saw Unstopables in Walmart last week. They were $6.97. After using them at my house, my mom picked up one for herself! I will definitely be keeping them...hope Downy puts out coupons! A bottle will last a long time!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhORop1GeWG5O4-x3DgMQkcPeQSigtDMAT9sIGXqwaG0B9JvLGpEixMf0MKCiEq6sI-J79EuKZNOC8k2Zee52EffSAOhoKYY60GcIvjtrsPM1i7IrEEHu63fMhURQPzzVeyEvK5fE4lRg4/s1600/IMG_0967%255B1%255D.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633352125114266018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhORop1GeWG5O4-x3DgMQkcPeQSigtDMAT9sIGXqwaG0B9JvLGpEixMf0MKCiEq6sI-J79EuKZNOC8k2Zee52EffSAOhoKYY60GcIvjtrsPM1i7IrEEHu63fMhURQPzzVeyEvK5fE4lRg4/s400/IMG_0967%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a> For doing this review Downy sent me a full size sample of the product and these cute socks.

I had been cleaning and packing and was so tired. I had not even taken the time to eat and was getting a little sick. I let Manga Dork and cousin Beth each take a girl on their ATV. I said, "Go slow...no acrobats." I ate 10 mini corn dogs. Then the girls burst into the house crying and yelling.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJw9BQct_UGDB2gKSz6Y5pc-8Hmnl5K02rIXoLGvdaP0VtYJ1eqYYTc-5Km4-B_TW_Q1PPu1f5vNfDTGGO3S-M1CMATuenPSZpcGJPYM24VF-GxbY3tmuPky9_k75RIF1xokrc05NdHvI/s1600/IMG_0880%255B1%255D.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632006570178944514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJw9BQct_UGDB2gKSz6Y5pc-8Hmnl5K02rIXoLGvdaP0VtYJ1eqYYTc-5Km4-B_TW_Q1PPu1f5vNfDTGGO3S-M1CMATuenPSZpcGJPYM24VF-GxbY3tmuPky9_k75RIF1xokrc05NdHvI/s400/IMG_0880%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a> Manga Dork said that she looked back and turned the wheel and the 4 wheeler had flipped completely over. I saw Cutie clutching her stomach. I said, "It ran over her stomach!" I panicked! Turns out she was clutching her arm. Just one glance near the elbow and I knew it was broken...badly. We took her to the ER...mismatched dirty play clothes and hair full of grass. Manga Dork had given her a makeover prior to the ride that included LOTS of hairspray.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNK6Lk1meB3I8YkBAa3YMeV4XOM-TqKYwXvgp-dVpYkb4xtoddcPuXg_YQVMDFIzPH6OTw_vqxx9NqcljCKanDAPvhtoq3Jb-qsIbx4s8pfSYSyQNIFg168UQdQIK-3hQc9zlMJNcqQuM/s1600/IMG_0883%255B1%255D.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632006558523271314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNK6Lk1meB3I8YkBAa3YMeV4XOM-TqKYwXvgp-dVpYkb4xtoddcPuXg_YQVMDFIzPH6OTw_vqxx9NqcljCKanDAPvhtoq3Jb-qsIbx4s8pfSYSyQNIFg168UQdQIK-3hQc9zlMJNcqQuM/s400/IMG_0883%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a> We left our local hospital a little after midnight after a quick kiss to wish each other "Happy? 17th Anniversary." We drove 3 hours to Columbus Children's Hospital. It took 3 people to hold her arm down for the IV. I felt like I was going to completely lose it.

Would you believe I am still looking for fun?! Would you believe I am ready for the end of August to get here?! <br /><br />Believe it. Here's the story...<br /><br />My FIL was at Cleveland Clinic. We went to visit for a weekend. It was the first time my 2 littles have stayed at a hotel. They loved wearing all their brand new swim stuff. I brought my niece and nephew to my home for a week so my SIL could stay in Cleveland with my MIL. Then we had a cousin here for the week after that.<br /><br />My FIL is now here in our town at the rehab center. He may have to have bowel surgery and then they are doing the dye test on his aneurysm. My MIL is so tired and stressed. We take every chance we can to make her smile.<br /><br />Last Thursday I was too tired to go on the nightly ATV ride over to the new house. Well, I let Manga Dork and the cousin take the 2 littles with them. I hurried and ate dinner cause I was so hungry I was getting sick. About 20 minutes later they all come bursting through the door. Manga Dork had flipped the ATV completely over and on its wheels again. She had tire marks rubber burnt across her leg and a sprained knee. Cutie had been flipped off and her arm was broken. Our local hospital sent her to Columbus Children's Hospital. She had to have surgery and 3 pins put in her arm. Another hot pink cast! They assure me that she won't have to start kindergarten in it! Thank goodness! Dr. Hubby and I had only 1.5 hours of sleep from Thursday morning to Friday night! We were zombies. <br /><br />Want to feel like dirt? Take a child into a hospital and tell them they were on an ATV. Mother of the Year...I may be banned for life! <br /><br />Today we finally got some good news! We close on our new house tomorrow at noon! I hope this is only the start of the good stuff! I feel like I am starring in the movie Crappy Scrappy and the Totally Bummer Summer!Scrappy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802418508966206933noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038752305367519016.post-17683575844730239942011-06-22T08:29:00.000-07:002011-06-22T08:44:39.184-07:00Plant IdentificationOur new home's previous owner, Maguy, loved plants and flowers and trees and herbs and gardens. All of this is so definitely out of my comfort zone, BUT I am intrigued and hoping I have found a new hobby. I am determined to keep her plants beautiful. In order to do this I must know what they are. Here are two...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhozgk4zsqQb1l_GQhRzEsYOcagLQt6uG3yxqVj0Vm-6m3DiZa7rT79pK6FcVIlfrvnUw13pBETXBtydjY2CFZOmWIpGvVnP7DgeUKnMWpx7yt4cq9GyDtGJh0aN7_lxQMAf3CbLE9RU2I/s1600/DSC_0989.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621067930393173922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhozgk4zsqQb1l_GQhRzEsYOcagLQt6uG3yxqVj0Vm-6m3DiZa7rT79pK6FcVIlfrvnUw13pBETXBtydjY2CFZOmWIpGvVnP7DgeUKnMWpx7yt4cq9GyDtGJh0aN7_lxQMAf3CbLE9RU2I/s400/DSC_0989.JPG" /></a> I love the orange flowers on this bush.

I thought the large leaves were interesting and then these little brownish things popped up with round things on the end. THEN each little round thing popped out a small flower. I have never seen anything like it.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So far I have figured out rhododendrons, bleeding hearts, humulus lupulus {hops}, roses, and purple clematis. I have also identified peach trees, blueberry bushes, grapes, and blackberry bushes. Dr. Hubby said he believes there is some peppermint in there too. Maguy had several herbs. Holy Moly! I hope I don't accidentally pull out something important. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Thanks in advance for any help you can give my black thumb...lol.</div><br /><div></div>Scrappy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802418508966206933noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038752305367519016.post-90178212992338276552011-06-20T07:54:00.000-07:002011-06-20T08:14:48.275-07:00You've Never Had It So Random {We're Moving When!?

See her there standing in the old pants, boots, and man's shirt. Her character was hilarious! Wild Child would not quit poking her head into the shot...little rat.<br /><br />I cleaned up a corner full of overflow stuff from my organization for the yard sale and move. While cleaning this one corner we destroyed the entire rest of the house. At least the corner is clean and now filled with several boxes packed and ready to go.<br /><br />We visited FIL yesterday. He is out of ICU. Because of the medicines and infection and such he is hallucinating. He got really aggravated cause he said someone broke his bag that is collecting his pee and it was all over the floor. He got really aggravated when the nurse left without cleaning it up. He said "this is the nastiest place ever." heehee He got mad at MIL earlier in the day because she couldn't see all the little bugs in the air. I was dying to sit down next to him and say "Ew...what did I step in!" OR start swatting at the gnats. I behaved. I love him so much. <br /><br />And for the biggest most stressfullest craziest most impossibleness of randomosity E.V.E.R. {Yes, I know most of those aren't even real words}....<br /><br />My FIL can only come home if he has a walk in shower, open floor plan, handrails, etc. So since they are supposed to moving in my current home in 5 weeks and it has all the above...I HAVE TO MOVE IN 2 WEEKS! And I think 2 weeks is being generous. He will be home at the beginning of next week I bet. I don't get the keys to my new home until the end of this week. I wanted to clean, hire it all painted, organize all this stuff BEFORE I moved. I am so freaked out!<br /><br />I need some FUN.<br />Happy Monday!Scrappy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802418508966206933noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038752305367519016.post-65996611730545023252011-06-17T07:38:00.000-07:002011-06-17T07:49:09.936-07:00Enough AlreadyMy FIL is still in the hospital. He is still critical in ICU. He just had a second surgery and is back on the ventilator. My MIL's voice on the phone tears out my heart. She is so tired...physically, mentally, and emotionally. My hubby goes back and forth spending every other night at the hospital. He spends his time with his dad's chart trying to figure out what would be best...consulting with other doctors...trying not to worry his mom too much. I can hear the worry in his voice. My little ones are asking when Papaw and Mamaw are coming home. There are all kinds of little messages on their answering machine. My teen is so worried. She got to go back and see him the other day. I feel helpless. I take all the phone calls here...updating all the worried family and friends. I carry on with tball games, TOPS, drama club practice, organizing our stuff for our new home...busy stuff. I can control the tears until they sneak upon me. Then all the trying in the world won't stop them. <br /><br />I am ready for him to be back on the farm. I want to see him on the tractor mowing the hay. I am ready for him to say one of his random things that annoy me. <br /><br />Please continue to pray.Scrappy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802418508966206933noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038752305367519016.post-80907437105739053782011-06-10T19:45:00.000-07:002011-06-10T19:58:45.900-07:00Please Send Up One...or Three!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj9Jivy3-n2BqPetSzXFRFHFhZ7zreIIuXumIk0QQPuQLbu9B3nKA4QnZ52XF3FmzNIQVv6HK2leqPguxj6zG1LYP3dCOD2yfQGx2rFkJF19qopSmFdJV1fJprQDRc4F5dgAuudvRJuEI/s1600/DSC_0041.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616789563151830370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj9Jivy3-n2BqPetSzXFRFHFhZ7zreIIuXumIk0QQPuQLbu9B3nKA4QnZ52XF3FmzNIQVv6HK2leqPguxj6zG1LYP3dCOD2yfQGx2rFkJF19qopSmFdJV1fJprQDRc4F5dgAuudvRJuEI/s400/DSC_0041.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGn5hWuN7KfC8_5m0aKX0nLTbR8_poqfPiWGlcDZrkHdITGT9pgUXcAdUHWFYibXj9gf2ldBpDLiBq2PLlkHszMvTrJsKwuFXqZxS02nMNkZpq1w6jeB62GYBovUPm3u7HEqrCcDmti_I/s1600/DSC_0964.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616789555434451714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGn5hWuN7KfC8_5m0aKX0nLTbR8_poqfPiWGlcDZrkHdITGT9pgUXcAdUHWFYibXj9gf2ldBpDLiBq2PLlkHszMvTrJsKwuFXqZxS02nMNkZpq1w6jeB62GYBovUPm3u7HEqrCcDmti_I/s400/DSC_0964.JPG" /></a> My FIL is very ill. He went into the hospital earlier this week. While testing his sinuses they found he has a brain aneurysm. It is in a location where they can not do surgery to repair it. Then they thought he was having a kidney stone yesterday. After tests they discovered his appendix had burst. At 5 pm this evening he had surgery. He is in ICU on a ventilator. Please say a prayer. <br /><br /><br /><div>Thank you.</div></div>Scrappy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802418508966206933noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038752305367519016.post-3374376936520588762011-06-09T07:15:00.000-07:002011-06-09T07:49:23.665-07:00Giggles Needed<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtulPKGmslJfvgyEuUHdUS2_NTQ9yrWdqtexBvAVwn8mGI7GiQ630Ia1HKi9qRxNHty0kr3Lzw43TUHEsq361eVeim5gwGsCmcjVIwFKKEBbbXKGRzPY2oWHIeUtl0c1ujFe_dZgLBZ4/s1600/DSC_0969.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616224263596245730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtulPKGmslJfvgyEuUHdUS2_NTQ9yrWdqtexBvAVwn8mGI7GiQ630Ia1HKi9qRxNHty0kr3Lzw43TUHEsq361eVeim5gwGsCmcjVIwFKKEBbbXKGRzPY2oWHIeUtl0c1ujFe_dZgLBZ4/s400/DSC_0969.JPG" /></a> I need something to make me laugh.

It took 12 hours.<br /><br />Monday...Tuesday...Wednesday...was spent with my mom in our basement...cleaning.<br /><br />Thursday we cleaned stuff up and got it on the car hauler trailer thingy and on the trailer I have for my yellow ATV. It took all day. Can you spot Santa in the above photo? lol<br /><br />On Friday and Saturday we cooked in the sun for our community yard sale. I am now $175 richer...and a lot of junk lighter. The money is going into my "I want someone else to paint the entire inside of my new home" fund.<br /><br />I am still recuperating. I had lobster red arms on Friday and I am turning into a tan babe now. Let's just hope that doesn't evolve into a skin peeling leper. Thank goodness I put sunscreen on my face!<br /><br />What have you been up to?Scrappy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802418508966206933noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038752305367519016.post-71530647549891835592011-06-02T02:54:00.000-07:002011-06-02T02:54:00.737-07:00Playing Favorites<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDYZrim5iHtwFHtT2TbeingyQTVuXDN4v_Bc0YL3-LoMKUEbAWGy8fXTmvR1VM4i0jObiIhRcOhiDUT8Yaa_jzdQh9LklNWyus8Mff3LRZZ39VNtYdMRwXREaIGVOzasCEKFKPmB1jxAE/s1600/CSC_0939.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613421917629041970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDYZrim5iHtwFHtT2TbeingyQTVuXDN4v_Bc0YL3-LoMKUEbAWGy8fXTmvR1VM4i0jObiIhRcOhiDUT8Yaa_jzdQh9LklNWyus8Mff3LRZZ39VNtYdMRwXREaIGVOzasCEKFKPmB1jxAE/s400/CSC_0939.JPG" /></a> This is my absolute favorite graduate of the class of 2011. I love this overly excited, adventurous, loveable, intelligent, beautiful, classy young lady like one of my own. I would have kept her from the age of 5 if her parents would have let me. Why not before 5? She was terrified of me. She would hide when I came into a room. She got over it.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613421910244469458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5D3QgcNMBiZDq-OSz8Jp1IvLpxwdu-354c7YZD_scxiBYvKbA4nB3brNzteKSP-Ac3wm3f3F1zoWxB8v3VVJ_f4hrsMlfzyZnej4iptPjUMAqm0I2e6xTSOujLTxxFoQajCyew1Iz79M/s400/DSC_0958.JPG" />Every summer she has come and stayed with us no matter where we have have lived.

I went down to the ticket booth early the morning of the show to pick up discount tickets. They were discounted from $15 to $10 plus I had coupons for free tickets for the 2 littles. I ended up buying the upgrade to VIP ringside seats{$2 per ticket}. So instead of sitting on bleachers for 2 hours we got patio chairs so close to the ring we could have touched the animals running around it!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNBdnoo9ENkJKbuwxJB1vQ7GyKSNSXZes_NTFgOxPdvghOcusrZMyTTU0-9o9W9sX7HgRLZw27EMqFbIuMWXH9hKTHnoMjk5qmeBbf86K5Z80rtWOcdGfD1l39HgdV_KZxsPaM3w-xi0/s1600/DSC_0873.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613250674218624146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNBdnoo9ENkJKbuwxJB1vQ7GyKSNSXZes_NTFgOxPdvghOcusrZMyTTU0-9o9W9sX7HgRLZw27EMqFbIuMWXH9hKTHnoMjk5qmeBbf86K5Z80rtWOcdGfD1l39HgdV_KZxsPaM3w-xi0/s400/DSC_0873.JPG" /></a> The ringmaster started the show!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOOl6gChBvlexvoKtyEV-ftDujy5C6kFaTrCqwuDfnR5n_r5A6Ll_wldnMli90wyoKgtfw9Z37LKA8l0weF5c38mPcRvoWvW7Ii4FZ4adSxITpVrccmUDujF1vkHqBm-reGUxsvNiKuU/s1600/DSC_0881.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613250670783926738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOOl6gChBvlexvoKtyEV-ftDujy5C6kFaTrCqwuDfnR5n_r5A6Ll_wldnMli90wyoKgtfw9Z37LKA8l0weF5c38mPcRvoWvW7Ii4FZ4adSxITpVrccmUDujF1vkHqBm-reGUxsvNiKuU/s400/DSC_0881.JPG" /></a> There were camels who twisted and turned and bowed...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCM1lgo7vaq3fM1UO9zir7GWz8tpCSTFUjjw9oEsa4OK63L6ibmWqFHRItGxRmqdB6Izju22m_SiV6MJ2MuMUyLWfMhY8GAZQD7OPkDzLwzJ0Eug7-bYgnS7_eG5LXN-Ks5R31YfjEWVM/s1600/DSC_0889.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613250665756420162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCM1lgo7vaq3fM1UO9zir7GWz8tpCSTFUjjw9oEsa4OK63L6ibmWqFHRItGxRmqdB6Izju22m_SiV6MJ2MuMUyLWfMhY8GAZQD7OPkDzLwzJ0Eug7-bYgnS7_eG5LXN-Ks5R31YfjEWVM/s400/DSC_0889.JPG" /></a>and little ponies and dogs who jumped and posed.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQVd2i2vlqge2KXiK7tGWfo67t-Y74bHnhaoK4s7HHtJASvrtu64Pu4xxj_GRcAU5Nt5bq0QWk68D-PY6Bb1O1qZYP56YAvTQaqGL4ExrwBACgIr8Jxgt4Shlh4DQQDXVuQ9Lxhgt4jzg/s1600/DSC_0906.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613250660429319218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQVd2i2vlqge2KXiK7tGWfo67t-Y74bHnhaoK4s7HHtJASvrtu64Pu4xxj_GRcAU5Nt5bq0QWk68D-PY6Bb1O1qZYP56YAvTQaqGL4ExrwBACgIr8Jxgt4Shlh4DQQDXVuQ9Lxhgt4jzg/s400/DSC_0906.JPG" /></a> During intermission the 3 girls rode an elephant...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcDQxTm_mcGmuiLZAwHKG7ARg2YeZxhwwa-CIF3bvAsx6u0N-U5YUYOSVCJsqhJErUnJmEAeHBjleB82BAfv75GiMbwpFkipOM3LATlrIDyqd9hie1YWJSS18fH0qcjB9RLf-d85xdAP0/s1600/DSC_0920.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613242169436556706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcDQxTm_mcGmuiLZAwHKG7ARg2YeZxhwwa-CIF3bvAsx6u0N-U5YUYOSVCJsqhJErUnJmEAeHBjleB82BAfv75GiMbwpFkipOM3LATlrIDyqd9hie1YWJSS18fH0qcjB9RLf-d85xdAP0/s400/DSC_0920.JPG" /></a> and got their faces painted.

When I was over there yesterday the rose bushes were all blooming and I discovered tiny peaches on two trees. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Be sure to pop over some time this weekend.

In the corner is a little opening that overlooks the breakfast nook. You can even spy some of the cars in the front yard out the window. I plan on putting a double or queen size bed in here for guests too. I am so glad that my scrap stuff will be back in my home. The schoolhouse was excellent, but it was hard to find time to go down there...and the kids really disliked being there.

This is the entryway...foyer...whatever you want to call it. It kinda makes me want to put a fancy table in the middle of it with an overly obnoxious floral arrangement on it....like a soap opera house...lol. Oh and btw...my niece and nephew are like "Where's Waldo" in most of these photos of the inside. I enjoyed spending time with them this weekend.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610021812929352082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTJKy_niIsMVMiaVg-FyLtgGkw0gJg19POvzPhYN4QxJpbohkfJ-IoxKOAppZ0-NRSbrbWfOmu4b5QlVwv2tWUSgyOEJ72mgRpKaPY8reyrt8FmTJbgafShM5s92DhqrqelSOTXG5pkA8/s400/DSC_0787.JPG" />I love the stairs. I have NEVER lived in a two story home. All this woodwork was done by hand by the previous owners. When we moved into our home they were telling us about sanding and varnishing it all. Lots of hard work!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXUG-7013BOQSmfR62zraRjYfsjeBsp-XnTzrBwaSp6h6qv3U4EMpmU4fCgQ9UKDYNS62kZPxwj3Ki6h_OgKqJCP6-0TipNAl87m-ZxllxvIkcNt_Y5ot1t7Nkc-wK5d8NYWiFcGdD45c/s1600/DSC_0786.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610021816477879026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXUG-7013BOQSmfR62zraRjYfsjeBsp-XnTzrBwaSp6h6qv3U4EMpmU4fCgQ9UKDYNS62kZPxwj3Ki6h_OgKqJCP6-0TipNAl87m-ZxllxvIkcNt_Y5ot1t7Nkc-wK5d8NYWiFcGdD45c/s400/DSC_0786.JPG" /></a> See that kind of dark brown painted area! It goes in about a foot. I can't wait to create a cute vignette to decorate it. I see baskets and flowers and a quilt.

See it over the front door over there?! This is the little "landing" at the top of stairs under the windows. They had a loveseat sitting there. Not sure what I want to put there.

This is the porch that faces the pond. It held Glen and Maguy's dining room furniture. Very interesting pieces that sold for only $325! Thats my SIL and niece and nephew. You should have seen the sun burn SIL got!

I can stand on my porch and hear the auctioneer...75.80.85.do I hear a 95. I couldn't go. I woke up...showered...puked. When I started to see the line of cars from my front porch I got upset. It just feels like vultures coming to pick apart pieces of a home. My heart is a little soft. I don't know how the family members can stand to be there. They are stronger than I am.<br /><br />Dr. Hubby's phone was dead so he had to take my blinged out iPhone. I'm glad he's not wearing his pink or purple shirt. In this small town rumors would FLY! heehee<br /><br />I will post here as soon as I get the news. Thank you for all the prayers and crossing of fingers and such.
