Quilts- at Granny's

At Granny's there are several beautiful quilts. I decided since I couldn't take them all, I would take pictures of them so I could share them with you and have a keepsake for myself. Enjoy!

Brady

Our sweet boy turned 5 on the 24th of July. He is one of the greatest loves of my life. I enjoy him more at 5 than I ever have before. He is learning to make better decisions. He is calmer and enjoys full access of the house- for the most part. His favorite place to be is where I am and my favorite place to be is where ever he is too. Soon, Brady and I will be the same age...

upon reflection....

You know, now that I think about it- the birthday plate is just another example of how Granny liked Mr. D. best. For those of you who do not know, my Granny never made my favorite cookies or anything I liked ever again- once she met Mr. D.. She was smitten kitten with him- which tickled me. She also believed that he got me all kinds of great things. She would say.. "it sure was nice of P... to get you (fill in the blank here... car, house, dog, whatever)". It was as if I made no contribution to the family what so ever - or could actually purchase my own stuff. It was cute and annoying all at the same time. Anyway- did she have a birthday plate at her "estate" for anyone else?? I rest my case.

another treasure

Imagine if you will.................................................................. Mr. D.'s new birthday plate.


I found this at Granny's yesterday and I snagged it for our house. Now, I can't wait until his birthday.

If you could see what I am doing... you would see me counting down the minutes until the CMS fall potluck......... and wondering what I will be making..............BECAUSE I am the proud owner of this...










I know-- you are amazed, and I am too. We found this yesterday at Granny's and I HAD to have it. I am sure you can see why!

It is a food carrier. I asked my mother what Granny would carry in each pan and she said something like this:

cobbler
macaroni and cheese
field peas, corn or green beans
dressing
fried mini chicken (drummettes)

See how it all fits in each layer and then you just stack it up and carry it to where you need to go. I can't wait!!

Rylee

I found treasures big and small today... and one I couldn't even bring home. Rylee is so FUN and SWEET and she smells so good (most of the time).. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE her. I had to take a break from the estate cleaning to play with her. She has such a great little personality. We found out today that Rylee's cousin due in December is going to be a GIRL!! I could imagine their years of matching dresses .. just like Kim and I wore for years. I can't wait.

Do you see what I see???????
