Thinking I had better check in. Good gracious, go somewhere for a day and it takes a week to catch up!
Monday, I Christmas shopped. Tuesday, I met daughter Lynn in Durham. We left my car in a grocery store parking lot, she drove, and we had a fun day together.
Our first stop Starbucks. Best cup of coffee I've had in months, well, since my other daughter Andee and I were together and stopped for a "white mocha" at Starbucks.
Our next stop was to visit my Grandson Joseph and his wife Lori and see my Great Grandchildren Greyson and Addie...
Addie is adorable! Joseph woke her from a nap, and she came out with a smile on that sweet little face and held her arms out to me.
I don't who was having more fun, Addie or grandma Lynn. That's Joseph on the sofa.
There are no pictures of little Greyson or Lori, and we did take some. Greyson is a cutie pie too. It's early morning so later Lynn can send me more pictures. I can post one tomorrow. Wow. Crazy me.
Addie is a sweetie pie!
Before going shopping, we stopped by Lynn's shop...
It's cozy and sweet and packed with pretty things...
I was taking pictures and Lynn was saying, wait mom, let me get the lights turned on.
every corner...
filled with pretty things ...
Better get up from here and get the animals fed.
Hope to be back soon.
Love,
Henny
Dearest friends,
I simply must write a post, right this minute. The lost pictures have been found and are right here at Henny Penny Lane...as big as day. This was one light bulb I was happy to see come on!
On the post about Lynn's shop I really wanted to show you the little caboose, "Sidetracked", but as you know, could not get the picture to move and open, but look...
Is this not the cutest thing! It's those two little windows on top that lets the warm sun shine in and brightens the shop. However, looks like this was taken on a cloudy day. The little garden out front is new. Won't things look pretty come spring?
Another unique place Lynn and I visited was The Scrap Exchange in Durham...
and scraps it was! of everything!
Have you ever!
in your life! This store has barrels and bins of everything imaginable. You can buy old buttons by the ounce and paper stuff!. Pages from old magazines and books are weighed and sold. This is where Lynn buys some of her old post cards and pictures.
and oops! Yep, that's me going through bits and pieces of little doll heads and such. Lynn slipped this one in. The only decent pictures of me in this world are those taken without me knowing. I am definitely too self conscious to look into the lens of camera. Poppy will say, just look at the camera and smile...but no, I have to turn it into a freak show.
Poppy's asked, who is that girl beside you? Just another customer, I said. Well, she looks like she should be with you and Lynn since that's the way you both dress. :) We did compliment her on her bag and her dress.
and more stuff
Do you see Lynn here?
Should have taken pictures of the front of the store...when we first walked inside, it was neat. There was lots more to see, but this is all my pictures. You're probably breathing a sigh of relief!
Guess you can tell how special my day was with Lynn. Sometimes it does your heart good to change your routine and get away from the house. I appreciate my sweet daughters and love being with them both.
Should you want to, you can visit Lynn at sidetrackedlynn.blogspot.com Hey, I'm getting mighty confident with this computer :)
Thank you for listening once again as I go on and on about things.
As for today, I've got to buckle down and do housework and some yard work. Hope to be back soon.
Love,
Henny
After getting home from seeing Lynn on Sunday, my tooth started hurting. Throbbing pain! Isn't it always something!! I called the dentist yesterday and was sitting in his office at 9:15 this morning. The dentist pulled that tooth and said it was shattered in my gum, down to the nerve. No wonder it was hurting. Thank goodness that's over! That was my last jaw tooth on the bottom. I've been wanting to stop eating. This should help.
About Lynn's shop! This child has found her calling! Having a little shop is something she has always wanted.
Lynn rented this little red caboose that sits parked inside an antiques village near where she lives.
She has filled this little caboose with treasures. If there had been room enough to set up a cot in the back, I would have moved in. It's warm, it's cozy, and you know how a caboose looks with the square box that sits on top with windows...well the sun pours in through those little windows, warming the shop.
Lynn does altered couture and is really good at it. Why, I wanted to buy all of her clothes except maybe the fancy white dress on the left. She loves hats. Lots of hats in the shop.
I am having a terrible time with pictures lately! Honestly, pictures are simply disappearing and I am now beginning to wonder if it's all me!
We left the shop and went by Lynn's apartment and were met at the door by Vlad...
and Lucy...
well no, maybe this one is Lucy...
or this one...these kitties look so much alike!
Okay, I am totally giving up on this tonight. Some pictures are showing up, some are not. Maybe I lost more than a tooth from my head this morning.
Thank you for looking in. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow. This computer and I are both shutting down for the night. :)
Love,
Henny
Addie is adorable! Joseph woke her from a nap, and she came out with a smile on that sweet little face and held her arms out to me.
