What a sweet weekend this was! Got to spend time with both my daughters. Poppy was away on a hunting trip. Andee and I shopped all day Friday, and I actually bought some things. I sure did! Three sweaters, a shirt, and a new can opener; and not from a thrift store, mind you; brand new stuff! :) We even had pizza buffet for lunch. How fun is that!! Oh my, why is everything so fun and so funny when you're out with a daughter. Andee spent the night with me but had to go home on Saturday...then late Saturday afternoon Lynn came to spend the night. She stopped in town and picked us up something for dinner. We ate and talked and laughed. Then I said to Lynn, "there is a TV show that I love. It's called "Molly B's Polka Party" and comes on tonight at ten. Will you watch it with me? Poppy will not watch it. I'm probably the only person east of the Mississippi who loves this show! Anyhow, we watched, and laughed and even tried dancing the polka. Before Lynn left going home Sunday morning, she said, "Mama, can I do a little video of your sewing room? You can put it on your blog." I said, "Oh goodness, Lynn. What about all the dust?" So, here is the video of my dusty little sewing room, which I must say, makes me sound much smarter than I really am... Thank you friends, for visiting and for putting up with me.
Thank you to a new follower, Marty, from "Welcome Words", who writes a beautiful blog with lots of posts I am looking forward to reading.
Also thank you and welcome to Luckybunny, a new follower.
The fact that anyone reads my blog amazes me, as I am not a writer! Never would I have dreamed anyone would follow my blog. Thank you. I am so excited!
You know when you see something every day, you reach a point where you no longer see it, even though it's still there. Like these pictures of my daughters. This is Lynn...
This is Andee...
An old double frame holding these two pictures from the early 1970's, sits on my dresser. Every morning, when I sit in front of the mirror at that dresser, these sweet little girls are there too. Most mornings I don't even notice, but then some mornings they catch my eye. I pick up the pictures and think, where have the years gone? My little Lynn with the blue eyes and freckles across her nose, and my little Andee with those dark brown eyes...as mama used to say, black as little chinkapins! Is there anything any better in this world than feeling your child's little arms around your neck? That's me holding Andee after a fall that hurt her mouth. Lynn and my Mother both came running to comfort Andee too. Oh my! These 70's hairdo's! It took a bunch of teasing, but it stayed in place!
This picture was taken in Smyrna, Tennessee in 1965. Andee was only a few days old. That is a happy smile on my face!
Any of you who read Lynn's blog, "A Mothers Journal" will know how much she loves flowers and dresses and purses. Well it started at a young age...
Remember the old saying or poem, "A son is a son til he takes a wife. A daughter is a daughter all of her life"? I would love to have had a son too, but daughters are really special. Thank you for stopping by. Love, Henny Penny
