Cozy took this picture for me! ...one of the few we ended up with for some reason (I don't think I snap as many when we're at home...) Didn't she get a good one?
Grandma and I were hanging out with the littles in the shade of the garage, watching Tony light off the last of the fireworks, since we failed to find another shop nearby. (The night before, when we asked James if he was asleep, he said, "Shhh! I'm thinking about teaching zombies how to use fireworks!"
I'm not sure how many fireworks Cozy actually saw. She had to run (barefoot across gravel) to Tony and watch every time he'd light one....and then she'd usually be running back to us while it went off.
Grandma let me steal some sedum starts. I'm trying to nurture enough of them this year, so that I can make a sedum wreath next year.
It's going on my basement steps. Silly, I know, but I look out that basement door window every time I do laundry, and I'd like to see something there worth looking at!
Grandma was a lovely hostess. Sweet about our crazy children. Let me take over the kitchen. We had a nice time talking about kids and sewing, etc. What a sweet friend!
Glad you had a great trip. It's nice to be able to visit far away family.
ReplyDeletethat totally cracks me up what James said! Thanks for the laugh James....five days til you'll be here! Can't wait
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great trip! I just ripped out a huge patch of that sedum. It was taking over my flower beds. Just know that you should put it in something that has edges to it. :o) At least in Texas you should.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet trip! I can't wait to see your sedum wreath... And maybe make my own. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI totally want more info on your sedum wreath! My neighbor has some that grows into our yard. I tend to rip it out because it gets entangled in my lavender too much...but that wreath in your link is gorgeous. Of course, she used other succulents in that wreath as well, and there's NO WAY I'm sacrificing hen & chicks for that.
