Wreathmaking with the Grandgirls!

These are my grandgirls, Stella & Phoebe. They spent Wednesday with Gramma and we had the best day. Stella decided that she wanted to make Mom one of those round things like Gramma made (a wreath) but thought the vine one was kind of skinny so we decided to add hydrangea. She loved it and was so proud when she gave it to Mom. I wonder if when they get old if they'll remember going to Gramma's house & doing the things we do. I never had a Gramma & I think a child without a Gramma misses out on a lot. I know these kids would have missed out on a whole lot of love.

Another busy weekend!

Phoebe helped me make gooey butter cupcakes for a shower Allison was giving for her friend Morgan. The only problem was that Phoebe had little self-control when it came to keeping her fingers out of the dough. She's admiring her handiwork.
This is a mixture of plants that I put in my urn at the front of my house. I've used this same combination for about 3 years now since it works so well.

This is a hosta that I brought from my 95-year-old Aunt Lillian's house in Kansas City probably 8 years ago. It gets bigger every year with such beautiful blooms that come on late in the summer.
