A Very Long Bits & Bobs.......✨

Let's start from last Thursday...

We picked Miss V up from school, as Friday was a PD day,and we would be watching her that day. As we were leaving this week for vacation, we decided to make it a sleepover too!

She was thrilled!!

We got cracking in the kitchen...

Cupcakes!!!

She had one after dinner...and then after her bath...she slaughtered her Papa at "Old Maid"....

Looking rather snappy in her new "OWL" housecoat 💕

 

 Friday morning...we headed out to the cottage with her...she was so excited!!

The usual twig gathering...and some banging of ice on the beach.

We couldn't get too close, as there was a LOT of slippery ice....

 There was fresh snow, so she enjoyed making the first tracks...

She even drew a big "Happy Face"...

The sun tried to shine...but the clouds were just too darn thick...

We went inside...

She checked out her room...

Signed my guest book/journal...

And said...

"It is really cold in here Nana...let's go back outside"...

You know it is cold, when it is better outside!! 

One more trip down to the beach with her Papa...

And...we were on the road again!! 

In other news...

I finished another afghan...

Loving the blue and the tassels... 

It is very squishy, soft and very warm...

Wool is Bernat Premium Tweed...

I got it at Walmart!! 

I had bought myself some White Daisy Mums...and the Flower Lady was sweet enough to bring me 3 big bunches of White Stock...

I think they made a lovely combo for my foyer...and I had enough for the living room...family room...powder room...and a few for my dining table... 

Still with me????

Phew......

Now we are on Sunday...

Miss V arrived before 10am, as her Mom (being in the floral business) had to work, in preparation for Valentines Day. The biggest day in flowers, next to Mothers day... 

More cupcakes!!!

Here she is decorating them for her Aunts and Uncles who are arriving early afternoon. 

There is veggie chili courtesy of my daughter Lissa...and all the fixins.
An early birthday celebration for MOI...
And a fond farewell to all our kids for a while...

After the cupcakes were done...

She curled up, to watch Kung Fu Panda til the guests arrived... 

Doesn't she look cosy?

 

 And...

Just for fun...

My Son Ryan and Miss V had almost identical socks and jeans on for the ocassion!!! 

Okay...that is me...up to the minute...

Freezing rain happening right now...sheer ice out there...

Truck is 3/4 packed...just a few things for the morning...hope all the ice melts...

We are shooting for a 7am departure...aiming for Lexington Kentucky for the night...

Next night will be Valdosta Georgia...and then Friday afternoon at the beach!!!

Hope you are all well...

Wish us a good trip...

I promise not to mumble too much if the weather is not nice and sunny!!

I will check in after we are settled...

                Cheers!   :o)
